THE bill before Congress which in
vests the Postmaster General with
power to decide what advertisements
are proper" in a newspaper should be
killed as dead as Julius Caesar. The
present incumbent of that office has,
on at least one occasion, made him
self subject for mirth while posing as
a censor of the press, and the oppOr-
tunities for like folly should not he
increased. The freedom of the press
must be maintained, and this bill,
however guiltless of such intent,
directly menaces it. A reputable
newspaper rejects voluntarily adver-
tisements which could not "go
through the mails" Other newspa-
pers can be proceeded against under
the provisions of existing laws

Causes of wrinkles.

Wrinkles are not entirely the marks Of
time, but they are often the unmistaGablc
outward si..us of our inward nature. An
Eabitual Laughter will have wrinkles earlier
than those with grave, sedate faces. lnGi-
Eeston will produce crows feet in children,
and u little worry through life will make IN
babitual frown develop into tiny wrinkles
between the eyes. Eutan habitual grin or
laugh on the face produces wrinkles more
than sickness or disease. The invalid Of
many years will often have perfectly
smooth face, unmarked with wrinkles.
This is due partly to the fat that her
melancholy life prevents her from laugh
ing much and no creases are made in her
irlmonile face.
Wrinkles are often expressive of an in
ward character which gives true dignity
to the face, which is far more to be desired
than the perfectly smooth, eXpieqsionless
face. The wrinkles which come from care
trouble and irritation are the only ones
which mar the face without giving any
compromising value. They should be
avoided by every woman, for it makes her
Old before her time and robs her CT her
beauty. The way not to have such creasrs
