It is not generally known that lemon juice, taken in proper quantities, is a most excellent tonic. The juice of half a lemon taken In a tumbler of cold water, a half hour before breakfast, every day will stimulate the liver and digestive organs, causing an increase in the appetite and making the skin fresh and clear. If the majority of women could be made to realize that their dull, colorless complexions generally gen-erally are the result of the inactivity of their digestive organisms, there' would be less use for objectionable cosmetics that never, in the slightest degree, resemble re-semble nature. WOMEN'S TRUE SPHERE. Ruskin says our women should be "fairest because purest and thoughtful-est, thoughtful-est, trained In all high knowledge, as in all courteous art, in dance and song, in lofty learning, !Yi loftier courage, in loftiest love able alike to cheer, to enchant, en-chant, or save the souls of men." And any system of education which makes woman less womanly is deficient in a most essential element. In that complex system off orc-s which is called society women's influence will therefore be exercised ex-ercised chiefly in those spheres of benevolent be-nevolent activity which sprung from a love of the human family, and which will require much attention for many a day, no matter how rapid social progress prog-ress may be. Not only will they carry on much valuable work themselves, but they will inspire men with their ideals for social improvement and for the advancement ad-vancement of human welfare. |
