tB- Lasting Loneliness Twenty years ago when
paint, pearl powder and enamel, were running the
c0mplexions and stroying the health OF women Of
fashion, HAGAN's MAGNOLIA BALM was brought as a
pure botanical cosmetic, guaranteed to restore
bloom and beauty 10 the skin. From that time To
tue present II has been continually rising In public
estimation as the safest and most uneXceptiOnal
preparation OF its clasa Instead OF producing an
artificial, metallic surface ike the deadly enaInes
or withering the cuticle like the poisonous fluids
sold under various names as beautiners II keeps
the skin as soft as velvet renders smooth aud
glossy as satn and imparts 10 II that delicate, rosy
tlnge which IL the beau iJeIl Of COmpleXOnal love
ness This exquisite cnromatic effect Is not tran.
Silent by applying the Balm daily It may be pro
longed from youth 10 age. A lady who purchased
the .nrst bottle OF the article nineteen years ago
writes TO say that her cOmpe Xon at forty is purer
clearer and more brilliant than II has ever heen I;
and she attributes It's beauty solely 10 the daily uss
Of Hagans Magnolia Balm.

A WoRD TO SCHOOL OoanuTTEEs.-Complai
Of a serious nature comes TO us that the scholars
in the public schools are sometimes forced to 90
ont doors at recess and remain there during the
recess hour whittier they wish to or not aud re-
gardess OF the incemency Of the weather. Some
Of the teachers do not enforce this rule il it be
stormy without, but if a clear day even il eX-
tremely cold, the children are sent out to shiver
until recess Is over. This treatment may do for
robust children, but it will not answer TO apply il
to all children unfortunately. We know Of
one physician who has had at one time three
or four cases OF sickness among children brought
on by exposure al recess in the public schools.
