The Summer Bath.
Nothing is more refreshing or invigor
ating in summer than a daily bath. Use
soft , tepid water and good soap. Ivory
soap is ideal for the bath ; it is pure ,
lathers quickly and leaves the skin soft
and white. Th bath should be taken
early in the morning or just before re
tiring at night.

FOODS FOR BEAUTY.
Eat Frnit and Green Vegetables li
You Would Improre Your Looks.
Do you wish to be beautiful ? Or , ii
you possess beauty already , are you
anxious to retain it ?
The clianc'es ' are , in either case , thai
the answer is yes. Well , then , it all
depends to a great extent upon whal
you eat. Certain kinds of food encour
age pulchritude , while others have ar
opposite tendency. It is worth whih
to know how to regulate your diel
with a view to acquiring beauty , iJ
you nave it not , or to retaining it li
you arc its fortunate possessor.
At the present time Uncle Sam is
cultivating , on his experimental farm
near Washington , a beauty-making
phmt. It is called the "fenugreek , "
and the seeds of it are oaten by the
womeu of Algeria to make them beau
tiful. Their belief is that it makes
them plump and improves their com
plexions. But the government experts
as yet have not reached a satisfactory
conclusion as to whether this faith is
justified or not. It may be correct ,
but judgment on the point is sus
pended.
However , there are foods which un
deniably are beauty-makers. It is
worth any woman's while to know
what they are , and to try them un
less , perchance , she is so perfect phy
sically as not to need them in hei
own case , and for her own advantage
"The best of all beauty-making foods
are fresh fruits and vegetables , " saic
Professor H. W. Wiley , the famous
government chemist , who is incidental
ly a skilled physician. "They contaii ;
relatively little nourishment a womau
could hardly live on them exclusively
for any length of time but for rea
sons which as yet are imperfectly un
derstood , they possess extraordinary
value as healthgivers. If you wanl
bright eyes and a clear complexion ,
eat plenty of them. "
The fact is that most fresh vegeta
bles and fruits are nearly all water
Spinach is 92 # > per cent water , cab
bage is 77 per cent water , beets are S
per cent water ; carrots are 91 per ceni
water , cauliflower is 91 per cent water
cucumbers are 90 per cent water , egg
plant is 93 per cent water , onions an
78 per cent water , tomatoes are 9t
per cent water , green com ( cut froir
the cob ) is Sl per cent water anc
celery Is 94 . per cent water. Fruits
are pretty nearly all water , though th (
banana is relatively rich in starch.
Fruits and vegetables , then , are ol
no great use in supporting the humar
body. Their value is mainly medi
cinal , and as beauty-makers they are
the chief among foods. It is almosi
impossible to eat too much of them ir
a fresh state , though , of course , th
diet must include a reasonable proportion
tion of those substances , such as raea
which furnish blood and muscle tissue

LEGAL CODE OF BABYLON.
Measures Taken to Preserve the Peac
in 23OO B. C.
A legal code that is nearly l.CXK
years older than Moses has been un
earthed in Susa , the ancient capital o
Ahasuerus. It is in the form of ;
column of stone five feet high and set
forth in 300 paragraphs certain of th
rules of law governing Babylon 230 {
B. C. . The Literary Digest says :
"In general the old testament priu
ciple of an 'eye for an eye and a tooti
for a tooth' is consistently carried ou
in this Babylonian cede. Among othei
things it says : 'If a man knock ou
the eye of a freeman his own eye shal
be forfeited. If he break one of the
members of a man his own membei
shall be removed. ' But this rule ap
plied only In the case of freemenw II
the suffering party were a slave a pay
ment of money could make good tlu
wrong. The same was true of a freed
man. On the other hand , if an in
ferior struck a superior he was punish
ed with fifty lashes , and if he was a
slave his ear was cut off.
The lextalionis was carried on so fai
that If a surgeon was unsuccessful Ir
performing an operation he was not en
titled to any pay. If the patient dieJ
under the hand of the surgeon the lat
ter lost his hands , in case the patien1
was a freeman. If a slave died undej
his "hand he must buy another. In case
a builder made a failure of a structim
he was also punished with death
Whether imprisonment was one meth
od of punishing wrongoers does not ap
pear , but evidently if at all applied i
was of comparatively small import
ance. Money fines were , however , ver ?
common and were proportionate to tin
wrong done. He who falsely claimec
that another was indebted to him mus
pay one-third of a mina. Freemen fight
Ing were fined a mlna. Theft of at

the most expert advice telling exactly how to obtain a CURE will be sent abso
lutely free of cost.
The one thing that qualifies a person to give advice on any subject
is experience experience creates knowledge.
No other person has so wide an experience with female ills nor such
a record of success as Mrs. Pinkham has had.
Over a hundred thousand cases come before her each year. Some
personally , others by mail. And this has been going on for twenty years ,
day after day , and day after day.
Twenty years of constant success think of the knowledge thus
gained ! Surely women are wise in seeking advice from a woman with ,
such an experience , especially when it is free.
Mrs. Hayes , of Boston , wrote to Mrs. Pinkham when she "was
in great trouble. Her letter shows the result. There arc actually
thousands of such letters in Mrs. Pinkham's possession.
" DEA.R MRS. PINKHAM : I have been under doctors' treatment for female
troubles for some time , but without any relief. They now tell me I have a
fibroid tumor. I cannot sit down without great pain , and the soreness extends

is swollen , I cannot wear my clothes with any comfort. Womb is dreadfully
swollen , and I have had flowing- spells for three years. My appetite is not
good. I cannot walk or be on my feet for any length of time.

describe my case , so I write to you. for advice. " MKS. E. F. HAYES , 252

"DEAR MRS. PINEFULM : I wrote to you describing my symptoms , and
asked your advice. You replied , and I followed all your directions carefully
for several months , acd to-day I am a well woman.
" The use of L ydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound , together
with your advice , carefully followed , entirely expelled the tumor , and strength
ened the whole system. I can walk miles now.
"Your Vegetable Compound is worth five dollars a drop. I advise all

advice , and give it a faithful trial. " MRS. E. F. HATES , 252 Dudley St.
