FISHERMEN ATLOAT.
FiOe Parts from tho Shore In Sag inaw
Dav-Meuy Lives Imperiled.

Bay City, Mich. March GA heavy
wind from the south today started the
ice out of Saginaw bay from what Is
called the Big Crack and with it went
fully $50 fishermen who occupy shanties
on the ice. Unless they can make
shore on either side of the bay they
will be obliged to remain until the wind
gets back to the north and blows the
ice back into place. As high winds
prevail tonight. however, II Is believed
that all the fishermen will be on shore
by tomorrow with their shanties. each
Of which Is on runners. Some of the
fishermen are supplied with boats for
use In cases Of emergency such as this.
Pequaming. Mich, March ga
strong southwest wind parted the ice
In Kewaunee bay, setting five fisher
men adrift. Parties in small boats are
trying to rescue them.

HOW TO RUB IT IN,


This simple remedy assists grealy In
developing the bust. and to the woman
afflicted with a fiat. "slatty" figure will
be found highly beneficial.
Treat the flesh overnight to a half
hours massage. using teaspoonful of
sweet olive oil. Warm the hands before
the fire, or, better still. warm the oil
and rub into the skin to be developed or
fed" thoroughly. In the morning use
the cold bath.
This treatment persisted in will soon
reward the patient by surprising fill
ing out that crafty and improve.
For sallOw and dead-loOking COM
plexiOns the sweet olive oil will be
found beneficial, and for eradicating
the disfiguring and aggravating little
blackhead.
Cleanse the face thoroughly with
warm water. and while the skin Is still
fresh apply the warm olive oil
with the tips of the fingers. massaging
the face thoroughly. but gently. Rub
for ten or fifteen minutes, or until the
oil has been absorbed.
GOOD FOR DANDRUFF.
For persistent dandruff the olive oil
will be found excellent.
Rub the scalp well with oil. letting
1t remain on several hours. Then with
very no. water and good, mild soap
shampoo the hair and rinse 1t. Enough
oil will remain to leave the hair moist
and glossy
Olive oil being n vegetable is most
wholesome and grateful to the human
cuticle, which absorbs 1t readily and in
surprising quantities.
