A NATION OF DYSPEPTICS. From the Mountaineer, Walhsll*. N, Dak. The remorse of * ruilty stomach is what k large majority of the people are suffering With to day. Dyspepsia is a characteristic American disease ana it is frequently stated that "we are a nation of dyspeptic*." Improper food, hurried eating, mtnta] worry, exhaustion; any of these produce a lack of vitality in the system, by causing the blood to lose :t» life sustaining elements. The blood is the vital element in our lives and should be carefully nurtured. Restore the blood to its proper condition, dyspepsia will vanish and good health follow. For example, in the county of Pembina, North Dakota, a few miles from Walhalla, resides Mr. Ernest Snider; a man of sterling integrity, whose veracity cannot be doubted. He says: The Doclori Disajrecd. "J became seriously ill three years ago. The doctor gave me medicine for indigestion, but I continued to become worse. i had several physicians at intervals who gave me some relief, but nothing permanent "1 read in the newspapers articles regard ing the wonderful curative powers of Dr. Williams' Pink l'ills for Pale People, and finally concluded to try the pills. I pur chased six boxes. This was five months ago. The first box gave me much relief. 1 con tinued taking the pills, and after using four boxes was cured." These pills are recognized everywhere as a specific for diseases of the blood and nerves. For paralysis, locomotor ataxia, and other diseases long supposed incurable, they have proved their efficacy in thousand! of canes. PITYING THE POOR "A Tramp Who Would Not Take the Crust from a .Needy Worn au'a Mouth, Sometimes the tramp gets the better of the thrifty housewife. The mistress of a pretty little cottage at Sausalito —she only inherited about 160,000, and so is obliged to lie frugal— is the object of a little criticism from her friends because of her reputed parsimony. Last Saturday, as she was sitting 011 her pi azza, overlooking the water, and waiting for Ted to come home, a passing knight of the road humbly solicited a bite. The young woman could not withstand the petition, so she went herself to the bread box, which was filled with freshly-baked loaves, and brought out to the waiting vagrant two slices of boardlike consistency which had been baked ffiany days earlier. As shy presented her bounty sue felt just a trifle ashamed of it. "We are very poor ourselves," she said, in muttered apology. The outcast received the crust with a courteous "Thank you," and turned away. A moment later he returned and handed the young heiress the crusts and also a nickel. "I am very sorry for you," he said, in pen tie tones of genuine sympathy.—San Fran cisco News Letter. Go South This W inter.

Borne of tin* Mistaken >11>«l•- I>y Buyeri miu Are Very Careful iu Other I'll illicit. Let a word be said here with regard to veilings, comments the Philadelphia Inquirer. The counters offer many temptations to a woman to buy at haste and repent at leisure over the ring-streaked and striped tissues that tlutter before their eyes. There is a really pretty whim in the way of shot veiling that goes right to the femi nine heart, also a white tissue, show ing dots in groups, and a smart twine brown gauze, that has a white waving cord run through its width from sel vage to selvage. All these, however, should be admired from a respectful distance. Only the very young girls with strong eyes can wear them with impunity. After her twenty-fifth birthday a woman should buy her veils thought fully, and matrons can scarcely be too painstaking in this respect. Noth ing so contributes to the weaving of little wrinkles about the eyes as a veil with many and small spots. A con&tant though unconscious effort is being made by the human lenses to get. a proper focus through such a speckled mist, and by reason of steady concen tration of muscles provoked about the lids the cobwebby tracings are pen ciled in. Put a pair of the most lustrous eyes constantly behind a veil of chiffon thickness and the result will be a slow but none the less sure extinction of that liquid bright quality a healthy pair of orbs should possess even to old age. A woman who persists in wearing a dotted net veil under one of chiffon, as so many do, is simply ruin ing the quality of her eyes for the sake of her complexion, and she who continues long in this pernicious habit may ward off a few freckles while she is simply courting pink rims on her lids and a dull glaze on both pupil and iris. Too many women buy the first good and inexpensive veil that is offered, with a reckless indifference as to whether color, spot or mesh is becom ing. A face that smiles delightfully from behind a delicate black gauze, bearing a dot here and there, will look old and haggard under a Russian net. heavily treated with chenille balls. This phase of the veil situation ought to be by every wise soul studied out before a mirror, and, moreover, few women are aware that certain hats go with certain veils, and vice versa, lieware of using your cycling hat veil with your best bonnet, for by such maneuvers is beauty judged. As to the adjustment of the little face masque, let it be known that a bow at the back must be avoided. Draw the tissue terminals into the smallest possible knot and tuck that neatly out of sight. Never let fluffy ends of net hang out behind like sig nals of distress, and as you value your reputation for youthful beauty, don't roll your veil up in an unlovely band across your brow. Rather remove it entirely if you wish to read or eat anything, for that band across the brow, or. worse still, athwart the Eose, adds an instant weight of ten moons to any age. FASHIONS IN SHOES. Here Are the I.ntent IlcMiicnft of All UmvrliitioiiH nnd for Every OccaNlon. These are the very latest designs in 6hoes for the present season. The first one in the illustration is the cor rect slipper for evening dress and is made of black patent leather. It is cut very low to allow a view of the fancy stockings, and is fastened by a perfectly plain strap. The second is a slipper for the house, and if the wearer is very clever with BHOES FOR EVERY OCCASION. the needle she will embroider the tops with heavy gold and colored silk threads, so that they can be worn with any house gown. Then comes the slipper for driving. Ladies who are very exact in mat ters of dress have kid slippers to match their driving costumes; but with any gown the black kid slipper is becoming, and unless you have a very dainty foot., it is the only appro priate shoe. The laced shoe is worn on rainy days end on occasions when a great deal of walking is necessary. Unless the weather is very warm this lace shoe is also very comfortable for cycling. The last shoe illustrated is the ever useful and popular patent leather one. For tailor-made suits and best wear there is no article of footwear as be eoming as the patent leather boot, and the wardrobe of the up-to-date woman !s considered incomplete witli -1 out a pair ui these shoes. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1898 DAINTY UNDERSKIRT. It Can He Easily Nude Out of Almost Any l'retty nnil Suitable Material. litre is the way a perfect-fitting un derskirt should look before it is sewed together. If you have patience, from this very little model, you can cut newspaper patterns, making each one a size larger than the other until you will have one that will fit yourself. A well-made underskirt Is as essential as a perfect hanging dress skirt, for often a defect in the latter is caused by some flaw in the former. To make a skirt like this you will need six yards of moreen. This goods is not very expensive and wears for years without losing its color. Dark red is a very favorable hue and one that can be combined with almost anything. Commence to sew the seams from the top, so that the un evenness will come out at the bottom. After the seams have been run to- PATTERN FOR UNDERSKIRT. gether for about eight inches it is very nice to insert a panel of fancy silk or other figured material, to give additional width and beauty to the skirt. The yoke should be put on as soon as the seams are sewed, so that the band will not stretch in handling the skirt, while the finishing touches are being put on. For those who do not care to make a skirt, an easy plan is to purchase a chenp one, rip open the seams and then putin the fancy panel. This could be dione at little expense, and your skirt would have all the beauty of a sls or S2O silk garment. CLEANING FUR GOODS. I'rofeMnloiiiilN l'nt» SnwdiiMt nnd tura men I nnd Then lleut the Fur« with n Switch. "Furs become very much soiled and need renovation us much as any other part of a woman's wardrobe," says Emma M. Hooper in the Ladies' Home Journal, "but among the many direc tions given for cleansing and renovat ing one seldom finds anything regard ing furs. Furriers keep all such trade secrets strictly, but occasionally there is a leakage, and I am able to give the result of one. Dark furs, as seal, mink and black marten, are cleaned with fine cedar or mahogany sawdust, which is kept in stock by furriers. The gar ment is ripped free from the lining and the fur is laid on a table with the hair up; then the sawdust is rubbed in the hair and neither strength nor sawdust spared during the process. When finished shake the fur lightly over the table and save the sawdust that drops out. Then put upon the table one or two feather pillows in their usual muslin slips, and upo these lay the furs, liair down this time, and beat thoroughly with a switch until the sawdust is out and the fur as clean ns a pin; keep moving the pillows, us the fur must have a soft support while beaten. White furs are cleaned with white cornmeal applied as the sawdust is on the darker varieties. If white furs are only slightly soiled they may be cleaned with magnesia in small cubes that is well rubbed in and then thoroughly dusted cut." Fruit lliet 1* llencllclnl. There is not a single article of diet of such great value in the treatment of intestinal inactivity or constipa tion as fruits. For this purpose fruits must be eaten freely, being taken, as a rule, in cases of this sort, at the be ginning of the meal or a little while before it. Fruit is most effective when taken by itself in this manner. Raw apples, steamed figs, peaches, apricots when not too ripe, prunes, oranges and tamarinds are of the greatest value for this purpose, tamarinds or pomegran ates furnish an acid from which a very pleasant beverage may be prepared. Tamarinds used in this way sometimes serve a useful purpose in cases of con stipation.-—Good Health. Stewed Fruit In Healthy. There is no doubt that stewed fruit is a most wholesome addition to or dinary diet. There are,however,many persons who cannot eat it, either on account of the acidity of the fruit or of the large quantity of sugar re quired to make it palatable. It should be remembered that sugar does not counteract the acidity of the fruit, !t simply disguises it.and if much of it is used it is apt to interfere with the digestive organs. Hcfore cooking the fruit, sprinkle over it a small pinch of carbonate of soda; this renders the dish more wholesome, and certainly more tasty. Dokm That Never Hnrk.

Archway I'nder or Through a Straw Stock In mi liicxpeiiNive llevice for Protection. To keep stock warm and dry in cold, weather is no less a matter of economy than to keep them well fed. When properly sheltered they require less! food. Shelter is less expensive than food. All farmers and stock raisers do; not have stables for their cattle or mug sheds for their sheep. Sheds of poles with roofs of straw are cxclu lively used, and with profit. An arch y.'ay shelter under or through a straw itack is an inexpensive and valuable de vice for protection. The skeleton •rame of such a one is given in Figura '' ' *t' no. l t. It consists of two pens of the or dinary sort, for the bottom of small ttacks. I'lace near enough together »o that an archway of poles can be made between them. The lower ends of the poles are set a short distance in the ground, resting near the middle one, the top rail of the pen crossing ita neighbor pole from the other pen, and fastened to it with a bolt at the top, and also to the sides with wire. Over FIG. 2. the structure nail some Ix 3 strips or any old boards that are handy. Over this structure the straw stack is built, and when finished has the appearance aa shown In Figure 'i. In this way a enug shelter of considerable size can be made beneath the stack, under which cattle, sheep or hogs can take refuge in stormy weather. The poles can remain, if necessary, from year to year. If taken down, it can be rear ranged in a short time, just before thrashing is done. Such an archway shelter will not be out of place in many a well-kept barnyard. —Charles 11. Ilickox, in Ohio Farmer. THE HORSE'S HOOFS. If You Want Healthy Animals Keep Their Feet ItaMperi Off and Level ns Possible. Have you a good rasp for the feet of the colts? The old saying "no foot, no horse," is not only a true one, but should teach the farmer to take the best of care of the feet of all colts, says a writer in Australasian. The toe often gets too long, unbalances the foot, and then come splints, spav ins and every other disease to which the feet and legs are heir. See that the foot is kept rasped off and level. Do not use a knife if it can be helped, as the first blacksmith that shoes the colt will cut away enough to last a lifetime. In no part of the horse's anatomy has he suffered so many wrongs or endured so much unneces sary suffering as in his feet. If there is the least excuse every blacksmith will use a knife. Try to let the colts grow up with such good strong feet that there will be no excuse for cut ting them. Use the rasp on the under side of the toe, and under no circum stances put the rasp on the outside of the foot. The entire hoof, from the coronet to the sole, is covered by a fine coating of natural varnish be ginning at the upper margin or coro net and gradually becoming thinner as it descends. Under cover of tins varnish the new horn is secreted and protected until it attains its maturity. The moisture necessary by the animal economy to the perfection of the horn is retained within it, and the influ ences of wet and dry are set at defi ance. It is easy to see that this most important covering should not be in terfered with, and the foot should be kept level and in good shape from the underside. Wastetl Corn In Harvest! n^. It may seem one of the simplest of all farm operations to cut and put standing corn in stock. Vet in every field where five or six men are work ing together in cutting, a close observ er will note that some rows of stocks show the corn cut low down, with very little breaking off of ears, and even t lie suckers well cleaned up around tjie hills, while other rows of stocks will show the reverse of these conditions It is, therefore, really skilled labor that the expert in corn cutting shows, and we believe that the expert in this ! case, as in every other, is entitled to I larger compensation for the skill with which the work has been done.
