— Expert Beauty Hints. Some people take regular Killing baths, while others use dry flesh brush- es, coarse towels and the like, but there is a woman in Mt. Carroll who gets the greatest satisfaction out of a corncob. She rubs herself every morning with a fresh corncob, and when she comes to breakfast she looks as fresh and rosy as a 16-year-old girl.—Editor Freezer. That’s nothing—there’s another woman in town who massages herself every day with a Hubbard squash, and then rubs herself cown with whale oil. When she comes to breakfast she looks so beautiful and sweet that the family doesn’t have to eat any sorghum on it’s griddle cakes.—Editor Hurless. A pine-apple is good, too. followed by a curry comb dipped in pure dew. I know a Chadwick woman who sleeps between sandpaper sheets. Every time she rolls over she gets a massage. The next morning she gets up greatly re- freshed, rubs herself down with a nat- meg grater and beginstheday as fresh as a mountain daisy.—Editor Strauch. And all this reminds THE STAR man of a noted female beauty in this town, who is also somewhat of a health crank. She crawls into the cold, icy bed spring every morning for a bath, then rubs herself vigorously with a chestnut burr, after which she goes to the table and breakfasts on the various brands of sawdust sold as breakfast foods. The treatment agrees with her, and she is getting to be as beautiful and graceful as a woodland gazelle fattened on chestnuts. HOW TO BEAUTIFY YOUR SKIN.

COMMITTEE, > — Julture— Nothing will releave Indigestion that is not a thorough digestant. Kodol di- gests what you eat and allows the stomach to rest—recuperate—grow strong again. KODOL is a solution of digestive acids and as nearly as possible approximates the digestive juices that are found in the stomach. KODOI, takes the work of digestion oft the di- gestive organs, und while performing this work itself does greatly assist the stomach to a thorough rest. In ad- dition the ingredients of KODOL are such as to make it a corrective of the highest efficiency, and by its action the stomach is restored to its normal ac- tivity and power. KODOL is manu- factured in strict conformity with the National Pure Food and Drug Law. Sold by E. H. Miller. 3-1 — OFFICIAL vIRECTORY.

In South Africa candles are used for lighting purposes in the homes, and when a voung Boer maiden has gentlemen visitors the mother sticks a pin in the candle, and when it has burned to the pin the callers under- stand that it is time for their de- parture. Mrs. Early, a society matron of Washington, recently made a visit to the Transvaal, and was so impressed with the custom of the Boers that she determined to introduce it into her own home. Consequently the electric lights were removed and candles substitued in the drawing room. Mr. Staylate, a frequent though not always welcome caller, was one of the first visitors to call after the inauguration of the new custom. He witnessed the placing of the pin in the candle by Mrs. Early, and after she had gone ventured to inquire: “Why, Miss Early, does your mother stick a pin in the candle?” “Oh,” responded the young wom- an with an air of apparent inno- cence, “mother learned that in South Africa as a way of sending home the Boers.”’—Harper’'s Weekly. Don'ts For Babies. Never hold a baby by the foot, al- lowing its head to hang down, while dressing it. Give the baby plenty of good healthful exercise. Mowing the lawn or sawing wood is considered good. Strong drink for babies should be avolded. Spanking is not now in vogue. The baby should be severely cen- gured, but not spanked. Never leave a baby alone in the bathtub. full of water. It's a bad sign. Babies should not be allowed on the streets alone after 12 o’clock at night. The police are not respecters of persons after that hour.—Mil- waukee Sentinel. Provoking. Daughter—My husband is so pro- voking. Mother—Indeed?

Mrs. Rapps—My husband says he wouldn't give two cents for your husband’s opinion of him. Mrs. Scrapps—Of course he wouldn’t.

An incident of his childhood might prove this. ‘“Well, Benny,” sald his father when the lad had been going to school about a month, “what did you learn to-day?” ‘“‘About a mouse, father. ‘‘Spell mouse,” his father asked.

He fairly tottered into the room like a man rceling under the effect of some terrible mental blow. His wife looked on aghast. “What is it?” she asked in trem- bling accents. ‘It was not my fault,” he mur- mured incoherently. “How can I tell you? We are penniless!” ‘‘Penniless!”” she repeated, in a half-dazed way. ‘Oh, but my dear, brave boy, I can still be your own true wife. I can work; I can keep the wolf from the door. But, tell me this, have you been gambling or speculating on that dreadful Stocl Exchange? Tell me you have donc nothing to tarnish your honor.” “Nothing—nothing,” he replied. “My honor is unspotted.”’ “Oh, thank goodness for that!’ she cried. ‘Now I can brave any- thing.
