plan to have all her underwear made
on yoke fitted well down over the
hips and kept in place that is, kept
from riding up around the waist-line
by means of large corset hooks, the
hooks being fastened one in the center-front
of the corset and two others
in the back, and placed half an inch
below the waistline. The waistbands of
her skirts should be simply a narrow
bias binding- instead of straight-cut
bands. Moderately full skirts are more
becoming to the stout woman than tne
scant skirts, and those fastening with
wide plaits in the back are in hotter
taste.
A Good Polish
Take twelve pounds of whiting
(Spanish), which should cost about 3
or 4 cents a pound, one half pound of
light brown English castilo soap,
three ounces of aqua ammonia, two
ounces olive oil, one ounce sassafras
oil, one pint of warm water. Shave
the soap fine and dissolve in part 6f
tho water and add both of the oils
and the ammonia. Mix well with the
hands and put in half of the whiting,
AN OBJECT LESSON
which must bo sifted through a fine
flour sieve; mix this thoroughly with
tho hands and add tho rest of tho whit
ing gradually and tho water very
sparingly until all tho whiting has
been worked in. It will now bo very
crumbly, but you must keep at work
until it gradually softens and mixes
all right. When you got It into a sol
id mass, knead it on a board like
bread dough, until perfectly smooth.
Roll it out about an inch in thickness,
cut into cakes any size and shape de
sired and put on a board in a dry
place until thoroughly dry; then pack
in a box. The above will cost you
about 75 cents, and will make twenty
flve good-sized cakes, which you can
readily sell, if you wish, at 6 cents a
cake. To use, wring a soft cloth out
of warm water, rub it on tho cako
of polisn, then on tho article to bo
polished; lot it stand a few minutes,
then rub it off with a clean soft cloth
or a bit of cotton flannel and polish
with a clean chamois skin, which will
cost 10 to 15 cents. This polish is
equally good for brass, nickel trim
mings, mirrors and window glass. Ono
need not uso tho chamois skin on tho
window.
In & Restaurant.
A physician puts the query: Have
you never noticed in any large res
taurant at lunch or dinner time the
large number of hearty, vigorous old
men at the tables; men whoso ages
run. from sixty to eiehtv vearsr manv
of them bald and all perhaps gray,
but none of them feeble or senile?
Perhaps tho spectacle is so common
as to have escaped your observation or
comment, but nevertheless it is an ob
ject lesson which means something.
If you will notice what these'hearty
old fellows are eating, you will ob
serve that they are not munching bran
crackers nor gingerly picking their
wayt-through a menu card of new
fangled health foods; on the contrary
they seem to prefer a juicy roast of
beef, a properly turned loin of mutton,
and even tho deadly broiled lobster id
not altogether ignored.
The point of all this is that a vigor
ous old age depends upon good diges
tion and plenty of wholesome food and
not upon dieting and an endeavor to
Hyo upon bran crackers.
There is a certain class of food
cranks who seem to believe that meat,
coffee and many other good things are
rank poisons, but these cadaverous
sickly looking individuals are a walk
ing condemnation of their own the
ories. The matter in a nutshell is that if
the stomach secretes the natural di
gestive juices in sufficient quantity,
any wholesome food will be promptly
digested; if the stomach does not do
so, and certain foods cause distress,
one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets after each meal will remove all
difficulty, 'because they supply just
what every weak stomach lacks, pep
sin, hydro-chloric acid, diastase and
nux.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not
act upon tho bowels and in fact are
not strictly a medicine, as they act
axmost entirely upon the food eaten,
digesting it thoroughly and thus giv
ing tho stomach a much needed rest
and an appetite for the next meal.
Of, people who travel, nine out of
ten uso Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
knowiner them to be norfectlv sate to
use at any timo and also having found
out by experience that they are a safe
guard against indigestion In any form,
and eating as they have to, at all
hours and all kinds of food, the trav
eling public for years have pinned
their faith to Stuart's Tablets.
All druggists sell them at 50 cents
for full-sized packages and any drug
gist from Maine to California, if his
opinion were asked, will say that Stu
art's Dyspepsia Tablets Is the most
popular and successful remedy for any
stomach trouble.
Tho Divorce Question
The divorce question is having a
good deai of attention just now, but
in tho minds of many tho marriage
question is the ono that Bhould bo con
sidered. In the case of the young peo
ple there is too much haphazard mat
ing. As to tho young woman, tho
number of young men whom sho
knows well enough to take Into con
sideration with a view to matrimony
is exceedingly small, unless sho trav
els much or goes a great deal into so
ciety. Second, sho cannot chooso ad
libitum even among these, but only
among tho two or three, or perhaps
less, who oak for her hand. She
meets these and knows them in what
capacity? Not in the homo as pro
vider for a family, as a faithful pro
tector or as a guardian of little folks,
but as they appear to her when trying
to please and to win her good opin
ion. The acquaintance sho has with
them is in the roll of society men.
In the case of the young man, ho
meets the young lady in society, when
she is putting on her best, and he
does not' look upon her as a possible
housekeeper, wise mother or earnest
helpmeet In the home. Ho Is more
likely to be impressed with tho vi
vacity, form, features, hair, grace, etc.,
which go to make up personal mag
netism. Some of the most thought
ful prefer goodness and brains plus
beauty, but he, too, is restricted to
the few who would accept him, and
they may be few indeed. Tho girl,
then, who has the strongest personal
fascination for him, and whom he can
approach with reasonable assurance
that she will think of him as a suit
or, is the one he marries. Sho may,
or may not, have character and worth,
or she may or may not be just the ono
best suited to live happily with him,
but it is in most cases a game of
chance.
Ho or she who marries must rec
ognize the conditions and enter into
the marital state with the realization
that only by mutual patience, forbear
ance, mutual study and co-operation
can married life surely become a hap
nv and well-rounded success. Each
must give up habits, forego unneces
sary pleasures, make mutual conces
sions, and study to avoid the little
frictions which surely wreck tho peace
of the married if indulged in, and
both must surrender and sacrifice, one
to the other, remembering always that
each is still an individual, with hab
its, likes and dislikes peculiar to them
selves, and not always, or even if at
all to be overcome unless by long as
sociation and a generous determina
tion to make the most of the life each
has chosen. There are many things

which should be pointed out to them
before marriage, but if It is not done
then, let tho outsiders "forever hold
their peace." Doing away with di

Moulding Cla.y
It la a common theory tnat the in
fant mind Is like potter's clay, which
the mother may mould and fashion into
whatever form her inclinations and
skill may direct But did you ever
stop to think that there Is a great
difference in clays? Tho material
from which is developed tho delicate
Sevres china is very unlike that used
for common crockery, and the skill
and machinery employed in the mak
ing of the ono Is very different from
that used in the fashioning of tho
other.
Dr. Holmes expresses his prefer
ence, all other things being equal, for
a man having a long lino of well-ored,
brave and honorable ancestors. It is
much easier to educate a child whose
parents and grandparents have In tneir
infancy tumbled about a library than
one sprung from illiteracy. The sarao
rule will work m moral eaucauon. u
we wish our grandchildren to bo truth
ful, honorable men and women, wo
must begin with ourselves. Can a
woman reasonably expect her mother
hood, or her daughter's motherhood,
to be a glad and happy ono. if the
prospective father is noted for having
"sown his wild oats?" Do not all
tmngs confirm us in the belief that
tho man's children will reap he har
vest of hla sowing, however exemplary
his later conduct may be? Should not
girls demand of their men acquaint
ances tho Br mo standard of morality
by which they themselves aro gauged?
It Is not easy to say Just how much
wo may Influence theso delicate mat
ters, for It Is a lamentable fact that
even a slight opposition is often times
more harmful than beneficial, only, in
some Instances, hastening the entangle
ment wo rould work to avoid. I
know it is tho general rule to hold tha
oarento. especially tho mother, as re
sponsible for tho associates of her
children, but in this phenomenal ago,
parents are too often forced to neg
lect tho moral for tho physical well
being of their children. Nowadays
children aro costly possessions, and ai
togetner too much Is expected of .the
parents who work for their bread, both
in tho homo and out of It. In tho
beet guarded flock there Is often a de
generate, Just as in 'the most penect
clay there may be enough of foreign
matter to ruin tho finish of an ideal
piece. Proper cultivation Is all that
can bo done toward bringing the young
tree to perfection, but when tho fruit
appears, it will be of its own kind,
and all the care In the world will not
c.u8e a peach tree to bear other than
peaches. Our children's children must
reap the harvest we are sowing today.
