CATARRH IN HEAD'
Why Does It Cure
Not because It Is Sarsaparilla,
but because It Is a medicine of
peculiar merit, composed of more
than twenty different remedial
agents effecting phenomenal
cures of troubles of the blood,
stomach, liver and bowels.
Thus Hood’s Sarsaparilla cures scrof
ula, ectenia, anemia, catarrh, nervous
ness, that tired feeling, dyspepsia, loss
of appetite, and builds np the system.

At the last session of the Indiana

point and says that “the real book

sonage, marks his books without end,
scribbles on the margins, as Coleridge
did, makes his own index on the fly

whether he is detracting from their
value for some other person. The real
book collector is fashioned like one

LET IT BANG.
Secret of a Society Woman for Re
taining Youthful Beauty.
One of the young old women, who,
despite a full 60 summers, still holds
her own as one of the first figures tn
New York City society, was asked by
a young miss, tired by her first few
months In the social whirl, how she
preserved her appearance of youth in
face and figure, In spirit and even
vivacity.
"I relax one hour in the 24,” replitd
the woman tersely, and thAt explained

One hour every afternoon this wo
man gives herself to complete relaxa
tion in a darkened room. She does not
permit herself to think of any of the
distractions of her social routine; she
does not think of friend or enemy or
of herself. Relaxation is not alone for
the society woman, but the woman in
all ranks.
“I believe I should lose my mind if
I did not relax every day,” this wo
man once said.
Doubtless she talked without knowl
edge of the treatment of an English
physician in the case of a society
woman whose nerves were so tattered
that there was grave danger of a men

soon as she so far forgot herself as to
let the weight drop to the floor she was
to go about her regular afternoon call

at the treatment when It was made
known ; she tried it, her nerves were
cured, and then wondering she asked
the physician for the secret.
“\yhat you needed was absolute re
laxation, if only for an Instant each
Afternoon,” he said, “and the final
point in relaxing was reached when
you forgot the weight in your hand
and It aroused you by Its bang on the
floor.”
There seems to be a lesson to every
fagged woman in this little incident.
