GARDEN1NG FoR BEAUTY.

GARDENING FOR BEAUTY.
 Even if you cannot get away for a
 vacation during the hot months of
 summer you can give yourself a. fairly
 satisfactory substitute without going
 further than your garden. Do gar
 den work for beauty. Take it for ex-
 ercise and a past time instead of a task. Change your whole mental
 attitude toward it. if necessary. Take
 it easily and you will find it a great
 benefit.
 First of all you want to protect your face, neck and hands while you
 are doing the garden worK. If-wnen
 you were planting seeds and doing the early weeding you ruined your nails, grimed your hands with dirt, and freckled the back of your neck-you may have decided that gardening was all work and no play. But if you will wear a wide shady hat, or quaint little sunbonnet, and if you will pro tect your hands with loose canvas gloves, you will do away with most | of the drudgery of gardening. If you are well protected with a shady hat, or if you have a parasol | that you can stick into the ground to form a protection for you while you are working. you can garden in coR- | fort even in the middle of the hot afternoon. You should work slowly so as not to exhaust yourself, and you
 should not bend over enough to get a i backache.
 When you are through and tired go ! indoors and take a warm bath, fol- | lowed by a cold and exhilirating cold
 rinse. Then lie down for about half l an hour. rise and put on fresh clothes. | You will be cool, and rested, and will

Warning Issued
 To Beware All
 Booze Power"

Washington, Aug. 12.-(By the A. P.)-Home brewers and anti-VoI- steadeans, beware the Booze Pow der," is the warning sent broadcast by the Post Office Department in a recent circular. For stemming a tide of "dehydrated" alcoholic beverages of reminiscent names is a steady job of that fraud section of the depart ment.
 Using the reputation of German chemists certain German concerns have distributed hundreds of thou sands of circulars in the United States, offering for "one dollar only, Rhine wine, mosel1e, sherry, port, bordeauxs burgundy. tokay, Munich beer, pilsen- CT, porter ale, etc" In a dried form, says the post office. From the pow der a gallon or two of the beverage indicated on the package can be made, the spurious circulars claim
 Despite the issuance of fraud warn ingS and fraud orders, many people are still sending money to these Ger man concerns only to have the money returned to them by the Post Office Department. If these powders con- tained alcohol their importation would be prohibited and since they do not have the latent possibilities advertised they violate the mail fraud statutes. A significant requirement, adds the department warnings, is that every advertising circular insists on pay ment being made in American cur rency.

BETTER QUARTERS
 FOR FAMOUS BANK
 OF ENGLAND SOON

London. Aug. 12.-The long pro-
 jected rebuilding of the Bank of England will start almost immediate ly, the Daily Express understands. A meeting of the directors is to be held soon to make the necessary financial arrangements.
 It is understood that the plans to be adopted are those of Herbert Ba-
 with Sir Edwin Lutyens for the new capitol at Delhi. MT. Baker was also the designer of the South African gov ernment's administrative buildings at
 Capetown4 Pretoria and Salisbury (Rhodesia), and the Cecil Rhodes memorial on Table Mountain.
 The staff of the Bank of England is now double what it was shortly be- fore the war, largely owing to the vast growth of the national debt, and the existing accommodations are ut terly inadequate. Sections of the staff have been working for long time at various places in the vicinity of the bank.
 A special committee of the direct ors, including Cecil Lubbock, has been considering alternative schemes for the rebuilding. The idea of raging the whole of the existing one-story
 building to the ground was, it is un- derstood. abandoned, partly on senti- mental grounds and partly because of the difficulties of obtaining accom- modation for the staff during the re- construction. The present proposal is
 to retain the outer wall, which abuts on Threadneedie street. St. Bartho1o- news Lane, Lothbury and Princess
 street. This wall, which entirely sur rounds the site of between three and four acres, was erected from the de- signs of Sir John Seames about 130 years ago, shortly after the Gordon Riots, when the bank clerks. sword and pistol in hand. defended the bank against a furious mob.
 The wall is in the classic Grecian style, and in some places is 400 feet high. Security demanded that it have nc E1adoBs and tho architect achiev-

CONSTIPATION )Concluded).

For the last three days have been giving you some articles on constipa- tion. If you have missed them and are interested in the subject, you can undoubtedly get the numbers that have just preceded.
 Before we talk about the remedies for constipation, let us talk a little bit about preventing the condition. One of the first things is this: A child should be taught very early that it is important to have a daily evacuation of the bowels at the same time of day if possible. Defacation is partly vol untary and partly involuntary. As soon as the contents reach the anal canal there is a desire to defacate. If that desire is not fulfilled regularly the nerves are blunted and the sttmu- Jus is lost.
 It is just as important to keep the | system clean of the refuse from food and the refuse from the body cells as | it is to eat the food to build up the | body cells. The children will under | stand the comparison if you tell them that the ashes of a stove have to be cleaned out regularly or else the fire will not draw well. If the habit of going to the toilet at a regular time 1 is established. and its importance inn | pressed upon them-not over-im- | pressed, you understand-the habit is l likely to continue throughout life and | perhaps this is one of the most inn | portant factors in regulating the bowels.
 Now in order to tell of the treat ment of constipation, we will review briefly the causes of ordinary consti- patton, which are in general: CD irregular habits; CD improper diet, | or insufficient diet, or too sufficient diet; (3) insufficient exercise; (4) ner- | vous influences; (5) physics. CD Irregular habits. We have ex- plained that.
 CD Improper diet. A diet should contain enough bulk so that the bowe,
 has something to work upon. The
 green vegetables and all vegetable.
 and fruit not only contain cel1ulose
 which is not ordinarily digested, bur
 they contain the important minera.
 substances and vitamins necessary
 for health. Bran is not digested ordi
 narily and that can be taken in sufn
 cient quantities to increase the bulk Dr. Kellogg says it is nonsense to sa. that the bran is sharp and will irri
 tate, for it is thoroughly softened b.
 the fluids of the intestinal tract Count about 50 c. to a small cup o
 bran.)

Made in the form of buildings. where only a small amount is used. 1t would not be suf- f1cient perhaps. You will have to try for yourself to see how muh IS neces- sary of this.
 Insufficient diet:-Thin people as rule eat too little. We have given them instructions how to gradually increase their diet. Send a stamped addressed envelope if you missed them.
 (3) Exercise. There is no better exercise for constipation than brisk walking. If you have ever had any experience driving a horse.- you will know that it will stand for hours in it's stall without defacation. You drive it a block and it will have a de- facvation; a few more blocks, another defacation; and in ten miles there may be a diarrhea. The exercise has caused this. Usually people who do not exercise enough have lack of muscular tone throughout, including | the muscles of the bowel. (4) Nerves. I explained about the | influence of the nervous influence on | the bowels in a previous article. Suf- l fee it to say here that tranquility OF mind and a. lack of thinking too much | about any of your functions will give them a chance to work better. <, (5) Physics. As long as you con | tinue to take physics, you will have | to depend upon them. It is far better | to correct your constipation by cor | recting your habits that cause the l constipation, than it is to use physics
 Physics are probably necessary occa-
 sional1y for some people, but perhaps l in these cases am enema might dc just as well.
 Is there any harm in using ar
 enema daily? It depends upon the enema. A small enema of cooI water
 could be used indefinitely, believe
 without harm, but also believe tha
 the bowels can be trained without it

 directions for treatment
