Reflections from the Sun. — Sara Thacher, Ap-

plegate, Cal. 25 cts.

This book is full of useful reflections 00 the nature of man as a dual being. Each divis- ion is a discour.'je on some text either from the Bible or some other theological book. It is thoroughly Vegetarian. We quote from p. ir: "Consider the atrociousness of the butcher and the sensualism it engenders. He whose lips are polluted with blood can never overcome fear and death. So Iouk as a man kills animals and consumes their flesh so long will hebeunder the dominion of the destructive forces. Vegetables, grain and fruit keep tlie body in a clean condition making . it more easily controlled by the higher law of the soul." All who desire to live a pure life should read this book. It is full of bright expressions of useful thoughts. Man the Masterpiece or Plain Truths Plainly

A Beaalr Note. "The secret of a bad complexion." said a well-known physician recent- ly, "Is a bad digestion, and we gen- erally trace that to a bad liver." One of the best remedies for a slug- gish liver in cheap and pleasant. Dieting Is the secret of the cure. The best liver reeulalor for per- sons of se'dentary habits— and those are the ones whoA complexions are moddy—le to be found In apples, eaten baked If they are not welt di- gested when eaten raw. 1 attended the pupils at a well-knowti boarding school, and among them was <• ■;uiin' try girl whose complexion was the envy of all her associates. I found that she was a very light eater at her meals, but she had a peculiar custom of taking a plate of spples to her room at night and eating them slowly as she studied her Ieb- sona This was her regular prac- tice. Some of the other girls In the Institution took it up. and I know as a result of my personal investi- gation that the apple-eating girls had the best complexions of any in the school.— Spinning Wheel.
