Hollow cheeks, sunken eyes, and a ssllow complexion will defy his best intentions. Beauty is more than skin deep. The skin is merely the surface on which is written in plain characters the condition of the body. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery is good for the complexion because it makes the whole body healthy—-because it cleare and purifies the blood, makes the digestion strong and clears out impurities of all kinds. By increasing the ability to as- similate putritious food, aod by the infu- sion of its own ingredients it enriches the blood and so makes solid, healthy flesh.

Writing of the ‘Indian Women of Alas- ka and Their Handiwork,” tn The Wom- an’s Home Companion, Olive McGregor says: ‘‘'The huge expressionless face of an Alaskan Indian woman shows but Kittle evidence of any ambition or ability to per- form even the simplest features of domestic art, and yet the skillful and artistic results of the handiwork of these untutored abo- Figines is much sought after by the tourists who visit their villages during the sum- mer. Moreover, though the women are all fat and lazy looking, their lives are not uninterrupted ease, notwithstanding that their needs are few. Abundance of fuel is all about them, and food, whieh with them is synonymcus with fish, swims almost to their doors. But the procuring as well as the preparing of this food is all aecom- plished by the women. During the sum- mer they leave the villages and tewns for the islands in less frequented waters, where they camp for weeks at atime, catch- ing and curing the fish for winter use, while the men lazily watch them or paddle the canoe or otherwise amuse themselves. “If an Indian’s wife is in ill health or too oid to work, he marries another young- er wife, usually a relative of the first one, who is expected to provide the food, while the first wife cares for the house and chil- dren. Fish and berries furnishing almost the only food of these people, the women have little scope or ambition for develop- ing culinary 4 t, butin matters of personal adornment they take keen delight Dur- ing the long, dark winter they weave beautiful blankets and baskets for their own use and to sell. The blankets.are made from the strong rough wool ef the wild mountain sheep. Yet some of these are as soft as silk and in beauty of color- ing and intricacy of design rival the eri- ental rugs and hangings. It usually takes & woman six months to complete one blanket, but many of them sell for prices ranging from $50 to $200. The much sought after genuine Chilkat blanket is about 4 feet long and 2% feet wide at each end; but, as one side is pointed, the center is a foot wider than the ends, and on this side is ornamented. with a10inch fringe. These are worn in the dance, thrown around the shoulders, with the pointed fringed side hanging down. The design is grotesque, consisting of con- ventionalized faces of men and animals in pale green, outlined with black on a white ground. Sometimes dull blue takes the place of the pale green. A_ peculiarity which stamps their genuineness is a fine thread or shaving of deerskin in the cen- ter of each hard twisted strand of wild sheep's wool yarn, of which they are made, rendering them almost indestructible.’’ —_—— We have the best crockery store in the city.
