AVCD'Q Hair Vigor ha3 given me
niuil 3 perfect satisfaction. I was
nearly bald for six years, during which
time I used many hair preparations, hut
without success. Indeed, what little
hair I had was growing thinner, until
I tried Ayer's Hair Vigor. I used two
bottles of the Vigor, and my head is now
well covered with a new growth of hair.

NATIONS ABOUT EATING.
A Number of Annoying Traditional
Bubbles Pircked by Prof. White.
It has been an old notion from
way bacfc that certain kinds of
food must be avoided because they
tend to produce certain kinds of
disease. This notion has been fos
tered by alleged physicians who
publish health journals, and are
always laying down rules about
living, which if any one undertook
to follow litrrally and scrupulously,
would make life a burden from
the cradle to the grave. Some
years ago Dr. Dio Lewis, who was
regarded as somewhat of a health
expert, announced that tomatoes
were unhealthy, were the cause
of cancers, loosened and des
troyed the teeth, etc. For
generations boys and girls had
been warned not to eat so much
butter or their faces would break
out with "butter sores." It is an
old time tradition that buckwheat
cakes are productivs of skin dis
eases, and the Scotch are said to
be cursed with the itch because
they eat so much oatmeal. Dr.
James C. "White, professor of der
matology in Harvard University,
in a recent article on cutaneous
diseases, pricks some of those an
noying traditional bubbles. He
says that uncooked butter is per
fectly harmless food so far as the
skin is concerned, and it is difficult
to conceive how any one would
have otherwise unless, possibly,
the use of bad butter in food other
wise indigestible may have dis
turbed the stomach and produced
impure blood. Buckwheat cakes
do not produce cutaneous diseases,
unless improperly cooked and eat
en hot with too much syrup, they
upset the digestion. Oatmeal is
perfectly harmless food, and the
idea that tomatoes cause cancer is
ridiculous; D&: White says that
the'eating of fruits, nuts and fish
may lead to irritation of the skin
in certain individuals, but this
arises from some cause peculiar to'
the individual. The notion that
certain kinds of food are detiimen
tal to the complexion is a false one.
A good digestion and a healthy
appetite will take care of the skin,
and it matters little what one eats
if the stomach is allowed to do its
work properly and furnish rr1'1
material for pure blood.
The Earth Exhales Poison
To the air In localities where vcgela ion.
rotted by freshets, is laid bare to the sun's
rays by the retiring flood. Millions of square
acres, in the vicinity of the great tributaries
of the Mississippi and the Missouri in the
South and South-west, give forth this fever
laden miasmatic vapor, disseminating ma
larial pestilence broadcast. Not only
throughout the great West, but wherevor on
this cuutinent f e er and ague makes its pe
iodic.il appearance and what locality Is
w holly exempt from if.' Ilostcttcr's Stom

highly accredited and popular means of cure.

Uor is It less potent when used to remove
constipation, liver complaint, and dyspepsia,
kidney troubles nervousness and rheumatic
ailments. Use it upon the first appearance
of lliese troubles, and w ith persistence.
Senator Mitchell has given no
tico that next Wednesday he will
call up his bill to build a boat rail
road around the Dalles and Oflilo
falls.

rangemenls, no other remedy can
be found so pleasant, prompt, and

Ot the 10,000 immigrants landed
at New York within the forty-eight
hours ending yesterday noon, many
are said to be booked for Califor
nia, Nevada and Oregon. They
will be welcome if thejr are of the
right kind, and the presumption is
that they are, as the fact of their
being bound direct for this coast
argues the possession of better
judgement and more money than
most immigrants have. a?. J"7.

Turned Out to ba a Man.
There are a good many strange
features in London journalism.
For some years past a writer,
whoso signature was "Miranda,"
furnished sundry colums of femi
nine gossip every week to the La
dies' jPictorial, and now it comes
as rather a shock to tho readers of
that paper discover that "Miranda"
was a male individual and bore
the name of Archibald McNeili.
Young girls, middle-aged girls,
elderly girls cirls of all sorts, in
fact poured their confidence into
"Miranda's" ear. They wrote ask
ing him to expound dark points
regarding stockings and frillings;
they consulted him on cosmetics,
and hair washes, and things that
wonld remove pimples; they took
his opinion on the subject of trim
mings for delicate garments which
are worn in the silent watches of
the night, and "Miranda" answered
them all and breathed soft confi
dence into tho pink ear of the pub
lic. They all gavo themselves
away under tho impression that he
was a woman, and he wasn't a
woman after all. And now "Mir
anda" has come to a sudden end.
It would have been all right,
doubtless, if he had confined him
self strictly to writing women items,
as that is an occupation at which
comparatively few men got mur
dered if they are ordinarily careful,
but he went away to report the
Smith;Kilrain prize fight, and a
day later his dead body was found
in tho Seine. The man 'who had
so long dispensed sage advice on
stockings and corsets and other
articles of underclothing had been
robbed and strangled by some
ruffian, and the poor fellow has
carried with him into eternity an
extensive knowledge of how the
British woman is made up. Cfiic

Attention has been callod to tho
fact that the extravagant real estate
speculation which has been carried
on all over the country for months
has created a large amount of new
and additional debts in the form of
first, second and third mortgages,
which multiply rapidly as prices
are marked up. It is a very mod
erate estimate to say that the aver
age prices of real estate in the
most prosperous towns and cities
of the United States have been
marked up at least 50 per cent in
the last six months, some of it two
or three times, and the lessous of
history tell what must be tho final
result of such reckless and danger

Always Do Your Best.
It is very common for young
men, I think, to determina the
quality of their work by the price
which they are paid for it. I only
get, says such a one, $5 a week, and
I am sure that I am giving $5
worth of service: if my employer
wants more, let him pa' more; if
he wants better let him give better
wages. This is specious reason
ing, but it is false; and it is de
structive to the bst work, and
therefore to the best manhood. No
man can afford to do anything less
well than his best. He who al
ways strives to do his best work,
in the very process of striving will
grow better andbetter. Not only
will he grow more skillful in that
particular workmanship, but he
will be better equipped for other
workmanship. This is an abso
lutely universal road to promotion.
The man who is careful to give
nothing more than he gets rarely
gets more than he gives. The
man who works for his own sake,
who puts the best part of himself
into every blow he strikes, who
mixes all his work with brain and
conscience, who studies to render
the largest possible service regard
less of the compensation which it
brings, sooucr or later will find
his way on and up. Tho world
learns his worth and calls him to
higher service. Nor is this all. By
stirring himself up to do always the
best he can, he grows into a power
to do better and even better.
