Gen. Wood says there has not been

COMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
.. :THE WOMEN. BY ONE
or THEM.
It may be a homely subject, but it is
an allimportant one. If we are to take
care of our complexions and figures we
must ask ourselves the question, Do we
take proper meals ? '
Many sensible people have often re-
marked that the reason men sutfer less?
from nerves and continual colds is that
they consider their. meals one of the
most important questions of every-day
life (or, "at least, they expect women to
consider it for them).
Girls especially are particularly fool-
ish in the matter or takingfood, which,
nowadays, when they are working their
brains as well as their bodies, should be
the primary consideration.
Many men complain that their objec-
tion to working women is their loss of
complexion and their acquirement of
wrinkles, and in many cases this is
most true. Let the working woman
remember that regular work never
hurts anyone; it is the irregularity of
meals which does the mischief.
First, the hasty breakfast in the
morning, swallowing down nearly boil-
ing tea or coffee, and then hurrying
out into the cold to catch a train. If
this does nothing worse it will certain-
ly lead to a red nose.
After a long morning’s work exhaust-
ed nature is regaled upon lunch, in the
shape ofa bun or unwholesome cake,
and the inevitable coffee or tea, the
great attraction being that they can be
got for a few cents. There is age-neral
but very mistaken notion that anything
heavy in the way of meat makes us un-
fit for work afterwards.
But such a diet as I have described
is not satisfying, and an hour or two af-
ter it one begins to feel very tired, and
only fit for drinking some strong tea as
a kind of pick-me-up, and then by din-
ner time one eats far too heavy a meal
to sleep well upon, or is too fatigued to.
eat at all, and consequently remain.»
_ awake perhaps the greater part of the
night.
This may go on for a year or two, but.
the inevitable results must follow—
loss of color through anaemia, caused
by want of proper nourishment, the
falling away of the skin and the conse-
quent wrinkles which all women who
value their appearance thoroughly
dread. ‘
_ It is this want of tone in the skin
which is fatal to the complexion of
those who have to live in town.

Robbed the Grave.
A startling incident, of which Mr.
' John Oliver of Phila. Pa., .was thr-
subject, is narrated by him as follows:
“ I was in a most‘dreadful condition.
My skin was almost yellow,eyes sunken.
' tongue coated.» pain continually in back
and sides, no appetite~gradually grow-
ing weaker doy by day. Three phvsi-
cmns had given me up. Fortunately,
a friend advised trying ‘Electrlc Bil—
ters;.’ and to my great joy and surprise.
the hrst bottle made a decided improve
ment. I continued their use for three
’ ,weeks, and am nowva well man. i
know they saved my life and ruhlwt‘
the grave ofanother victim.” No one
should fail to try them. Onlv 5o

’FEMININE CHAT. ,
Single w0men generally read the
marriage notices with special interest,
while the wedded ones, as a rule are
more interested in the deaths.
A lecture on “The Funny Side of
Love" is something new. We never
thought that there was a funny side.
It has always seemed so serious.
Marriage is evidently an enhancer of
beauty, as testified in court by a woman,
who says her husband gave her a pair
of lovely black eyes.
Some persons spend more time in an-
swering advertisements promising high
pay for little work than they would care
to give up Were they regularly employ-
ed.
If we were to see any other insects
but bees walking over any of our edi-
bles we would refuse to eat them—but
honey-making seems a. very cleanly
operation. '
Many writers regard their profession
as anything but a thankless one—every
one of their manuscripts being always
politely accompanied by thanks upon
their return.
‘Do not judge the quality of an um-
brella by its handle. There are some
plebeian cotton ones now boasting sil-
ver and enamel effects that should prop—
erly be allied with silk.
It is cynical but safe to assert that
the woman most prone to lunching and
dining with men other than their
husbands are superstitiously careful
about never wearing their wedding
rings. '
If ye have furs, prepare to wear
them now.
How quickly a conscience unravels
after one stitch is dropped.
Friendship, if it is of the real sort,
doubles our joys and divides our sor-
rows. .
What small appetites some persons
manifest when they are eating in carte
and what enormous ones they have
when a table d’hote is at their com:
mand. ‘
Why is it that we feel that the tele-
phone company must have a personal
grudge against us when we can ’t get in
communication with the person we
wish to speak to.
And now every one who thinks there
is the least bit of the poet about them,
Writes something that rhymes with
bells.
Much in this life is naught but hope,
but without it we would perish utterly.
It is always those most indebted to us
from whom we receive the least grati-
tude. I
What is it about snow that makes, it
have such a rejuvenating effect on even
the most prim and sedate?
How few women have the sense
enough to keep their own worries to
themselves when a man is sick, hungry
or sleepy.

THE KIDNEY COMPLEXION
The pale, sallow, sunken-checked,
distressed-looking people you so often
meet are afflicted with “Kidney Com-
plexion.”
Their kidneys are turning to ,a
parsnip color. So is their complexion.
They may also have indigestion. or
suffer from sleeplessness, rheumatism,
neuralgia, brain trouble, nervous ex-
haustion and sometimes the heart
acts badly.
The cause is weak, unhealthy kid-
neys.
Usually the sufferer from kidney
disease does not find out what the
trouble is until it is aImOst‘too late,
they need a. medicine or a doctor until
they find themselves sick in bed.
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root will build
up and strengthen their weak and dis-
eased kidneys. purify their diseased,
kidney-poisoned blood, clear theircom-
plexion and soon they will enjoy better
health.
You can get the regular sizes at the
drug store, at fifty cents and one dol-
lar, or you may first. prove for yourself
the wonderful virtues of this great dis-
covery, Swamp Root. by sending your
address to Dr. Kilmerd: Co., Bingham-
ton, N. Y., for a sample bottle and a
book that tells all about it, both sent
to you absolutely free by mall. When

In Switzerland they have begun
making phonorgl'apllic clocks and
watches, which, it appears. leave any-
thing heretofore accomplished far in
the shade. By merely pressing the
button on the new timepiece it an-
nounces the hour distinctly. T‘le
alarms call to the sleeper: “It’s ‘6
o’clock; get up.” There are some
which even add the words: “Now.
don’t go to sleep again." The form can
be changed to suit the buyer and make
the warning more or less emphatic.
This application of the phonographic
principle is due to a French watchma-
ker settled at Geneva. He introduces
into.clocks and watches little slabs of
vulcanized rubber, on which the de-

LOAN TO PAY CUBAN AR‘MY.
Cuban Delegation Hope to Reach an Un-
derstanding at Washington. * -
Washington. D. 0., Dec. 2.—General
Caiixto Garcia, who heads the Cuban
delegation selected by the convention
of Santa Cruz del Sur, which reached
here Wednesday night, was indisposed
yesterday.
Senor Quesada, the representative or
the Cuban Junta, is atwwork on ar-
rangements for audiences at which the
president, Secretary Hay and other
cabinet officers will be present. The
first call will b upon Secretary Hay,
but the time has not yet been set.
The visit of the delegation has a.
double purpose. First, it bears from
the Santa Cruz del Sur convention res-
olutions thanking the American gov-
ernment for itsinterposition for the
liberation of Cuba. and for'the procla-
mation made in the congressional war
resolutions that it was not the inten-
tion of the United States to assume
sovereigny over Cuba.
But the more important purpose of
the delegation is to confer with .the
Uni-ted States authorities relative to
the general sluation in Cuba, and to
arrange if possible, some way by which
the insurgent army can be paid and
disbanded. .
The insurgent forces are clamoring
for their pay, which was guaranteed to
them by the insurgent government as
soon as the independence of the island
was achieved. .
In the present anomalous situation
with reference to the future of the .is-
land, it is impossible for the insurgent
government to float a loan, but such
a loan might be floated if the govern-
ment were officially recognized by the
American authorities. Thus far it has
been the policy of the United States
government to refuse recognition of the
Cuban insurgent government both be-
fore, during and since the Spanish-
American war. ‘
General Garcia and his associates,
however, hope to reach an amicable
understanding with the American au-
thorities and to make some arrange-
ment by‘which the United States will
advance money or guarantee a. loan for
the payment of the Cuban soldiers.
