Dr. CJeors'j K. Butler , jtuedica I super
intcmleiit of tho A'lma Springs Sani
tnrlutii , Alma , Mich. , In the Octobei
number of "How to Live , " gives som (
interesting as weJI as sensible rules
for acquiring and keeping health. H-c
says : "Without we cut and drink , w (
die ! The provocative to do both rest5
with the appetite , which , in process
of time , becomes a very uncertain
guide ; for the palate will often induce
a desire and relish , for , that which is
most mischievous and indigestible. The
old saying of 'eat what you like' is now
Bhunued by everybody of 20 years' ex
perience Still , without * appetite , it is
o very difficult affair to subsist for
the pleasure depend * chiefly upon the
relish The relish may become , as
has been stated , a vitiated one , but it
is quite possible to make the stomach ,
t > y a 11 file forbearance and practice ,
ns enamored of what is wholesome and
nutritious of. that which is hurt
ful , and not coucocUble. "
Again he says : "The delicate should
feed carefully , not abundantly ; it is
not quantity which nourishes , but only
that which assimilates. , "
"Be careful of your digestion" is the
keynote of the doctor's argument. He
Bays : "Health in man , as in other ani
mals , depends upon the proper per
formance of all the functions. These
functions may be shortly said to bo
three : ( t ) lissue change ; (2) ) removal
of waste ; (3) ( ) supply of new material.
For the activity of man , like the heat
of the ( ire by which he cooks his food ,
is maintained by combustion ; and jsxst
ns the fire may be prevented from
burning brightly by improper disposi
tion of the fuel , or imperfect supply
of air , and as it will certainly go out
if fresh fuel is not supplied , and may
be choked by its own ashes , so man's
activity may be lessened by imperfect
tissue change , and may be put an e id
to , by mi insufficient supply of new
'material ' and imperfect removal of
( waste products.
"We should oe to it that free elimi-
nation is maintained , for the ashes

native work properly. If the bowels

THE HAPPY WIFE.
You ask me why I'm happy when so many wives complain ,
And say their husbands only live to give them endless pain.
My secret you demand to know , you've seen my happy nook ,
And you quiz me not a little , but remember I can cook !
When other wives are envious , and tell my husband dear
My gowns are very out of date , and at my wardrobe sneer ,
I have no fear , I only sm-jle , I care not how I look !
I know I've but to whisper "Dear , remember I can cook ! "
My love has often said to me , "My dear , I know you're plain ,
But married life with you , my sweet , has brought me naught but gain ,
Let other women sing and dance , or even write a book ,
Yet you're above them all in charm remember you can cook ! "
And always when I'm begged by girls to tell them by what art , *
I captured such a handsome man and won quite all his heart ,
I merely say , "My dears , I'm sure that all the pains I took ,
Was asking him to dinner for remember I can cook ! " '
And all you modern women who are anxious to be wed ,
Bo wise , throw up your arts and crafts , and learn to bake your bread.
For be certain that no husband will forget the vows he took ,
If his wife will only please him by remembering how to cook.

HER MOTHER'S NEGATIVE
front of a large window in the
fifth story of a business block sat
three girls before three easels. They
were still girls , though contact witli
the world had rubbed off some of the
freshness of youth.
On each easel was fastened a nega
tive which these photographic artists
were retouching , enlivening their work
by divers comments upon the faces be
fore them , the originals of which were
unknown to the workers.
"Oh , Daisy , do look at this face !
Just see the wrinkles , and Mr. Board
said most of them must come out , "
called tho girl with the auburn hair.
Daisy Barradell leaned over and
looked at her neighbor's negative.
"A vain old woman , I should call
her , " was her comment.
The door opened , and Mr. Board , the
photographer , entered. Nina Carr at
once appealed to him.
"There's a lot of work to do on this
face. It won't look like her if you
take out ail those wrinkles. "
"Nevertheless , it must be done. The
old lady hag a daughter who has been
Eway from home for several years , and
the picture is _ for her. The daughter is
to be kept in Ignorance of her mother's
wrinkles , and I promised to humor the
old lady's whim. "
"Does she live here ? " queried the
girl at the third easel , looking at the
negative with an air o interest. Un
til now her attention had been wholly
concentrated upon her own work.
"No , " answered Mr. Board ; "she
lives in Keithsburg , thirty-five miles
west. She said she couldn't get any
one there to take a picture to suit
aer. "
"But why does she want to look eo
different from what she really Is ? "
asked Nina.
"Well , I suspect her daughter has
been the cause of some of those wrin
kles , and she wishes to keep the knowl
edge of that from her , " was the pho
tographer's response , as he closed the
floor.
The girl at the third easel took her
negative from Its position and brought
It to Nina , saying in a voice that trem
bled a little in spite of herself : "Will
you change with me , Miss Carr ? I'd
rather do yours if you'll finish mine. "
Nina Carr looked at the likeness of a
dimpled baby which Elsie Coen held in
her hands , and quickly made the ex
change.
Elslo fastened the negative on her
easel , and sat motionless while she
studied the face before her. Present
ly she took up her pencil , nnd some
of the wrinkles began gradually to dis
appear.
Elsie Coen was a recent addition
to their force of workers. She was
rather slight , with light hair and blue
eyes , and a fact that always seemed
ready to break Into smiles at the slight-
eat provocation. She was an acknowl
edged expert in her line , and had late
ly arrived there from Chicago.
"My ! she looks any amount better ,
doesn't she , girls ? She doesn't look
so very old now , " remarked Daisy Bar-
radel , coming up behind Elsie's chair.
"I should say she didn't , " said Nina ,
craning her neck to get a good view
of the picture without leaving her seat
"Isn't that a dear face ? If my moth-
r had lived , I should want her to look
Just like that. "
Elsie buried her face In her hands
nd commenced to sob. Daisy knelt
beside her and tried to quiet her.
Neither she nor Nina felt very much
acquainted with Elsie Coen , but they
had the kindest of feelings for their
fellow worker.
"Miss Coen Elsie , tell us what is
the trouble ? " they both pleaded , but
her sobs only increased.
Suddenly she stood up , and , brushing
away the tears , said : "That Is ray
mother as she looked when I saw her
last Several times since I left home ,
Ix years ago , she was written me ask
ing if I wouldn't come home , and every
time I refused to go. "
"Oh , you poor dear ! " exclaimed sym
pathetic Nina.
"My poor mother , you should say , "
answered Elsie. "Girls , I'm going
borne to-night. I can't wait another
day. "
When Elsie Coen asked Mr. Board to
release her from her engagement ne-
was very much astonished and refused
to grant her reauest without sufficient
reason. Whereupon Elsie , with the
blush of nliaine upon her cheek and a
little tremor in her voice , said : "That
old lady who wanted the wrinkles
taken out for her daughter's sake Is my
mother. "
"And you are the daughter ? ' ' asked
the astonished man.
"Yes , sir ; I never realized how much
my mother needed me until I saw that
negative , and I feel as if I must go
homo. "
"To smooth out mother's wrinkles ? "
suggested Mr. Board , with a kindly
smile.
"I hope so. "
"Then I will be glad to release you ,
and may God bless you. "
To Elsie the intervening hours be
fore train time seemed interminable.
She soon packed her trunk and sent it
to the depot three hours before it was
to leave the city.
While she sat In the waiting room
she thought of her mother as she re
membered her , of her letters that had
been answered so tardily , aud of sev
eral urgent requests for her'to return
home , if only for a short visit. But
she had always spent her vacations at
BURIED HER FACE IN HER
AJTD COMMENCED TO SOB.
some pleasant resort with merry com
panions , and her mother's desires were
unheeded.
As she sat there , her conscience was
continually giving her little sharp
pricks of remorse , aud she was not
sorry when the whistle of the train in
her reflec
terrupted self-condemning
tions.
She entered the car , and , with her
bundles , occupied an entire seat. Hav
ing actually taken her place In the
home-bound train , she allowed herself
a little glow of anticipated joy. Just
to think , she would soon be home
again ! How surprised and rejoiced
her dear mother would be !
The car was rapidly filling up , but
Elsie did not feel in the mood for a
seat mate. However , when an old lady
went through the aisle , vainly search
ing for a seat , Elsie eagerly motioned
to her.
"Thank you , dear , " said the grateful
recipient of Elsie's generosity.
Tho old lady proved to 'be very
chatty.
"Are you going far " she asked.
"To Keithsburg. I'm going home to
ray mother. "
"Well , now , ain't that nice ? I just
know she'll be real glad to see you.
I'm going home tq my mother , too. "
"Does she live in Keithsburg ? " in
quired Elsie.
"No. She's been in heaven for fif
teen years. "
"Oh ! " exclaimed Elsie , with a
thoughtful look.
"Yes , " continued the old lady , "ifa
a straight nnd narrow way , but I trust
that I shall never stray away from the
right path. I hope you are traveling
the same road , " with a solicitous
glance.
"I don't know , " said Elsie , hesitat
ingly ; "I'm golnr home to mother after
being away six years. Somehow , that
seems more important than anything
else , just now. * '
The stations were called out one uy
one by the vociferous hrakpman. but
Elsie took little Interest in tho almost
forgotten names until near the end of
the journey. Then with feverish eager
ness she gathered her bundles together
and sat erect on. the edge of Jier seat.
"The next station's Kelthsburj. " she
said , while the tears welled up In he :
blue eyes as every moment brought her
nearer home.
" dear. You travel-
"Good-by , my are -
Ing in the right direction when you arc
going home to mother , " were the old
lady's parting words as Elsie left the
car.
Depositing her bundles on a seat in
the little waiting room , she walked up
the road toward home with as little
conscious effort as If she wore winged
sandals.
Outside the familiar little white
house two small boys were playing ,
They looked at her as they w'ould a
stranger , and she failed to recognize
them.
Surely she had not mistaken her f -
tlier's house. No , this was the right
place , for out of a side door came a
freckle-faced boy of fifteen hearing a
pan of dirty water. In spite of his
added inches she kn w mm. ,
"Oh , David , where's mother ? " cried
Elsie , approaching the astonished boy ,
who almost dropped his pan of water.
"Well , I think it time you were com
ing home. I've had enough of dish
washing , " was his doubtful welcome.
"Who are those little boys in front
of the house ? " she asked.
"Cliff and Harvey. What's the mat
ter with you , Elsie ? "
Elsie hung her head. They were her
own brothers , and she had not known
them.
"But where's mother ? " she Inquired
once more.
"Upstairs , sick abed. Say , Elsie ,
have you come home to spy on us or
to help us.out ? "
"I'm going to stay home and help
mother , " answered Elsie , entering tho
house.
"Hurrah for sister Elsie ! " cazne from
a pair of lusty lungs , as David emptied
his pan and followed her into the
house.
Another brother faced her at the
stair door and impeded her progress.
"This Is fine , Elsie. Mother has
just been fretting and wishing to hear
from you. This will do her more good
than medicine , " said Ray Coen , a stur
dy six-footer.
"What's the matter with mother ,
Ray ? " asked Elsie , anxiously.
"Overwork and worry , the doctor
said. It does seem good to see you
again , " and the honest , kindly face of
brother Ray glowed with delight.
Elsie's eyes overflowed as she flew
upstairs to mother. How glad they
were to see her , and how little she de
served her welcome.
Her heart was too full to utter a
word as she kuelt oeside her mother
and hid her face in the bedclothes.
As for her mother , she understood
mothers always do and her own joy
ful surprise found vent in repeating
over and over again : "Oh , Elsie !
Mother's only daughter ! Mother's
dear , good girl. "
And Elsie felt that no sacrifice would
be too great to atone for those years
of selfish neglect.
When the doctor came next day lie
told Elsie her mother would have no
further need of mediciue , and as Elsie
looked at her dear , loving face , beam
ing with joy. she knew he had toU ]
the truth. Christian Standard.
THE JUDGE'S STORY.
flii Solicitous Hostess * "Would
Allo\v Him to Tell It.
The old judge had tried three times
to tell his story , and each time had
been interrupted by the solicitude of
Ills daughter concerning the welfare of
her guests. After the third interrup
tion her father waited with a formal
dignity that could not be ignored.
"Excuse me , father , " she apologized ,
" 3-011 were going to tell us "
"I was going to tell you , " he re
plied , "of the time when I enjoyed
the 'pleasures of the chase' for three
weeks. It was down In King County.

imputation they have down there for

fins , or to Inquire exactly how many
lumps of sugar some one wanted in his
coffee.
"At first I gave In meekly , but af
ter a while I got my spirit up , and de
termined to tell one story or die. . It
became a sort of contest , and I kept
strict record of the game. I tried , in
those three weeks , to tell thirty-seven
stories. "
"And how many times did you suc
ceed ? " one of the listeners asked.

the doctor , and after making a thor
ough examination of her , he said un
doubtedly the cause of her trouble wag
a disordered state of the Kidneys.
His medicine didn't "seem to be doing
her much good , so as I heard about
Dodd's Kidney Pills , I got her a bos
just to give them a trial. Well , the
effect was just wocderfnl. I saw that
they were the right medicine and I
got two more boxes. When she had
taken these she was so much better
that she had increased thirty pounds
in weight. She is now quite well , and
we owe it all to Dodd's Kidney Pills. "

Cleveland' * ! One-Cent "Warrant.
Ex-President Grovcr Cleveland holda
the only warrant for one cent ever
drawn by the Secretary of the Treas
ury upon the United States Treasurer.
It was in payment of the balance of
the salary due the Democratic chief
tain at the close of his term in 1897 ,
and its issuance was made necessary
by one of those mistakes that arc rare
on the part of the expert bookkeeper
engaged in running the accounts of
the government.
Every quarter the President of the
United States is entitled to threo
checks one for $4,160.66 and two for
$4,166.07. The table of methods of
paying government salaries shows
that if the S30.000 a year for the Pres
ident is divided into twelve equal in
stallments , one for each month , the
amount will be ? 4,166.66 2-0 , but the
two-thirds of a cent cannot be paid
at the end of a month , and so the
practice is to send the President a
check for $4,160.06 one month and tho
other two months of the quarter the
amount is $4,166.67.
In some manner President Gleve-
land failed to get a check one month
for the extra cent that was due him ,
and when the books were balanced at
