FOODS THAT MAKE BEAUTY. What a Woman Should Eut to bo Pretty unit Plump. Washington, May 2, 1903.-- Do you wish to be beautiful? Or, if you possess beauly already,aro you anxious to retain it? Thc chances are in either case that the answer is, yes. Well, then, it all depends to a great extent upon what you eat. Certain kinds of food en courage pulchritude, while othcis have an opposite tendency. It is worth while to know how to regulate your diet with a view to acquiring beauty, or, if you have it not, to retain it, if you are its fortunate pos sessor. At the present time Unelo Sam :s cultivating on his experimental farm near Washington a beuuty-mal? ing plant. It is cMled tho "fenugrek," and the seeds of it uro eaten hy the women of Algeria to make them beau tiful. Their belief is that it makes them plump and improves their com plexions. Hut the Government ex perts as yet have not reached a satis factory conclusion as to whether this faith is justified br ".ot. lt may bc correct, but judgment on thc point is suspended. However, there are foods which un deniably are beauty-makers. It is worth any woman's while to know what they arc and to try them-un less, perchance, she is so perfect phy sically as not to need them-in her own case, and for her own advantage. After all, when one comes to think of it, it is doubtful whether any woman, no matter how well content with her own charms, was ever satisfied that they were not susceptible of improve ment. Did Cleopatra, who in her day was voted the most beautiful person in the world, ar. well as the most seductive and enticing, use no cosme tics? One thing to be set down as gospel, to begin with, is that all of the adver tised beauty food?-"skin foods," ct id genus omnc-are humbugs. Tho best of them of them aro useless and not a fow aro harmful, The ouly rral foods for beauty are'of ihe every day kind, but to be properly and judi ciously seleotcd. "The best of all beauty-making foods are fruits and fresh vegetables," said Prof. H. W. Wiley, tho famous Government chemist, who is incident ally a skilled physioiau yosterday. "They contain relatively little nour ishment-a woman could hardly live on them exclusively for any length of time-but, for reasons whioh as yet are imperfectly understood, they pos sess extraordinary value as health givers, ff you went bright eyes and a olen? completion e?| ?]*D(y ?f ?he xaot is that most fresh vege tables and fruits are nearly all water. Spinaoh is 29} pet oent water; cabbage ia 77 per oont water; beets are 88' per oent water; oarrots are 91 per oent water: cauliflower; ia 91 per oem water; ??c?mbers are ?? per cont waler; ?g?' plant is 93 por oent water; tomatoes ATC 90 per cent water, onions are 70J per dent water; green corn (out front the cob) is 81} per cent water, and celery is 94# per oehl water. Fruits aro pretty nearly all water, though thc banana is relatively rich in stareh. Fruits and vegetables, then, aro of no great use for supporting the human body. Their value is mainly medi cinal and as beauty-makers they ure chief among foods. It is almost im possible to eat too muoh of them in a fresh state, though, of course, tho diet must inoludo a reasonable'propor tion of those* substances such as meat, whioh furnishes blood and muscle tissue. Peas and beans, fresh from tho garden, are an all-purposes diet, inasmuch as they, unlike other vege tables, contain a largo proportion of the stuff that makes muscle and blood, while possessing at the sumo time high usefulness as green "pro vender." Where beauty is considered in con Scott's Emulsion is the means of life and of the en joyment of life of thousands of men, women and children. To tlje men Scott's Emul sion gives the flesh and strengt? so necessary for the cure of consumption and the repairing of body losses from any wasting disease. For women Scott's Emul sion does this and more. It is a most sustaining food and tonic for the special trials that women have to bear. % To children Scott's Emul sion* gives food and strength for growth of flesh and bone and blood. For pale girls, for thin and sickly boys Scott's Emulsion is a great help. Send forf rae sample. SCOTT & BOWNE. Chemlotu. >409-415 Poarl Street, New York. SOc. and $ KOO i all drugglate. oc?tioo with diet, thc greatest puzzle from the ''iewpoint of ino.H women has to do with avoirdupois. It is an unfortunate fact that three women out of four, by the time they have reach ed the age of IiO, aro mortal'y afraid of becoming too fat. The fourth is fearful of too severe attenuation, which is even leBs to be desired, per haps, and she who is satisfied with her tigure in prospeotuis an exception indeed, and much to envied. It is all very absurd. To regulate one's weight-save in those unusual cases where the fatty teodcuoy ia a disease, or attenuation due to consti tutional defect-is perfectly easy, and may be accomplished almost to thc re quisite ounce. It i?: simply a mutter of regulating one's diet-not in a pain ful way. be it understood, but merely by common sense. Are you getting too fat? Then drop bread and potatoes, that is all that is necessary. Of course, you arc not expected to gorge yourself with pastry and candy. Cut those out, If you can, or, if ><>:i can't, be moderate in that kind of indulgence. Kat all you want. If you like twice as much as usual, but consider potatoes and bread are not for you-just for a while, at all events. You will be sur prised to lind that you lose two pounds in the first thirty-six hours and a pound a duy after that. Anybody can give up potatoes. Thc bread is a far more serious depriva tion, but, as tho French say: "Il faut souffrir pour ctre beau." In other words, you must choose between food and your figure. Thc cure is un failing if you are capable of the re quisite self-denial. Such being the case, the cure for excessive thinness is obvious. Eat freely of tho fat making foods-bread, potatoes, pastry, candy, and, in tho way of fruits, bananas and apples. With moderate exercise (which is an essential) you will take on flesh. But remember that whether you are plump or lean, tho diet that will tend to make you prettiest must include plen ty of fruits and green vegetaolcs, fresh from the garden. Folk lore notior.sliand do?ru from generation to generation by the unlet tered are, while always quaint and in teresting, often founded upon fact. For example, thero is a widespread and ancient popular belief to the effect that a diet of spinach makes a clear complexion, and of carrots a rosy skin. Less easily accounted for is the notion that fish-eaters aro apt to bo dark-skinned. The same thing is said of chocolate-eaters-for look if you please at the people who dwell where the plant grows. But after all it is by no means certain that food does not have an effect upon complex ion by influencing the production of pigment by the liver. Physiologists of noto bave spoken in the affirmative OD that question, sud there nifty he mor? in the theory than ii ooroujoply supposed. ReneBaone. The Deacon Entirely Forgot. ' A few Sundays ago s good old Car thage deacon, over-tempered by the sunshine, hitched his team to bis sur rey and drove with his grand children to Centro Creek. While hs ?as not looking the young peopre slipped some jointed fishing Vo'd? hod tackle under tho seat, Arriving at tho creek thoy pulled thom out much to the old dea con's surprise and indignation. He was still remonstrating* sgainat suoh ungodly usages on Sunday, when ono of tho girls hooked a oattish more than a foot long. Now, the deacon ia an old-time sport at fishing and the sight of this fish set him wild. Tho girl couldn't land her prize and the deaoon pulled it out for her. Then, baiting the hook, he began angling on his own account and soon landed a four-pound bass. Forgetting tho Sab bath and all elso savo the glorious sport he was having, tho deaoon kept on fishing, bringing out several beau ties, until tho children reminded him that they would have to hurry homo to get supper so as to attend church. "My gracious, yes," he said, "I for got this was Sunday. Thia is awful, just awful." With ono longing, lingering look at thc river the deaoon drove away. Carthage, Mo., Press.

For three years he has been roaming around in unexplored and uncivilized parts of the island examining into the natural possibilities of the country. During his visit to the islands he represented r. Chicago company, to which he bas but recently made a report of his ob servations in the newly acquired ter ritory. Of all of the unparalleled things whioh he saw, Mr. Carpenter says that tho much-talked of Valley of Death in the Island of Mindano is thc most wonderful and mysterious. "Tho famous valley," he says, "is far inland in this large island. The interior of the island is covered with mountains, and therr are many indi cations of volcanic eruptions. After one range of mountains is eronsed there is a deep desaent. This is the edge of thc valley. It looks Uko the rim of a great crater, but it is too large for that. It is surrounded by high mountains and covers many square miles. "When crossing thc mountains the traveller sees a heavy mist similar to a fog hanging over tho land beneath him. Thc mist is heavier and darker than the most dense fog, and it has never been known to olear away. As my party of five went down the moun tain sido wc felt that we were ap proaching that mist. "The air we breathed was heavy and foul. We knew that thero were pois onous gases in the atmosphere from the very effect which tho air above had upon us. As I was not upon an expedition to find out how much suf fering we could endure I called a halt long before we were in tho thiok of the mist. We deeided at once to re turn to the mountain tops and survey the valloy at a distance. I was anx ious to make some report of the val ley, for natives had brought nuggets of gold from the neighboring Islande whioh were larger than any I had o vt r before heard of. They said that they had found these at the edge of the Valley of Death. "No ono has ever been known to cross this straLge valley, and several parties whioh have made the attempt have failed and have been forced to return to the mountains exhausted and sick. Many people have been overoome by the poisonous gases and have only been rescued by their friends whose lungs were not so quick ly affected. . "So far as I can understand, I be lieve that there must be some voleanio fissure somewhere in the valley and from this is constantly* pouring forth the poisonous vapor whioh ever hangs over the valley. From descriptions of other volcanic gases I believe -that this is the explanation of the mist whioh han?s over the Valley of Death," o A m "w ca? m ac JBL ?* B?? ti? * Kind Van Hara Always Booght , tjjxium i mm ?

"OD Friday-Friday, mind sou March 13, I left Albany to come to New Yoi li. The train was reported 13 minutes late. It got away at 13 minutes past the starling time., "I noticed as 1 was boarding the train that the number ol the car was 313. My tioket, of course, was dated the 13th, and when the conductor came around to get it my eye caught the number of the ticket and I saw that the two terminal figures were 13. "The frequent occurrence of tho al leged hoodoo numeral by this time struck mc as being a little odd, and tho coincidenco impressed me still more wheu I found I /as sitting in the 13th seat from the front end of the car. " 'Well,' thought I, 'if there is any thing in this superstition about tho unluckiness of 13, something ought to happen to this train that would knock mc into 1,313 pieces by tho time it has gone 13 miles.' "But I didu't worry, any, aud to give the lie to thc superstition, tho train rolled safely into thc Grand Central Station with every one of the 13 minutes made up. I had to smile, though, and wonder a little, too, as I walked past the locomotive that haul ed us in, to see that its number was 1,013." A messenger at this moment delivc r ed a telegram to Mr. Hastings. It told bim of his reappointment ard confirmation for another term as Stato historian. "Look at the number on the envc lopo, Hugh?" said a bystander. Thc number waa 413. And the day was Friday.-Now York Sun. Lettuce Stops Smallpox Lettuce is an absolute preventive of smallpox. No one is ia the least partido of danger of catching small pox" who eats a little lettuce every day. Smallpox belongs to tho scor butic class of diseases. Sailors at 'sea deprived of fresh vegetables get scurvy. Sourvy is a typical scorbutic diseasu. Smallpox is another. Small pox always rages 'during the winter season when the poor people are de pt ived of fresh vegetable foods. ' Cel ery and onions are good for this pur pose, but there is auoh a loog interval between their being gathered and being oaten that they lose most of their anti ccorbutio properties. Lettuoe is served shortly after it is picked and. hence contains the valu able properties which will prevent smallpox.

In coonany with a number of itinerants who garere on their way to conference, Dr. Thrall stopped to spend thc night with an old farmer. It was, tho custom then to settlo the bill at night so that they might rise about 3 o'clock in the morning and ride a good way before breakfast and li J by in the heat of the day. Dr. Thrall acting as spokesman of the party, said to the old farmer after supper: "We are a oompany of Methodist preachers going to confer ence. If you ?rill get Lko family to pether we will have prayers with ycu." After prayers one by one settled his i bill. Dr Thrall's lum Cam?, and he asked for his bill.
