SOME MIDSUMMER poNTs.,

DON'T you want to keep your skin nice
all summer? Well, here are some rules
worth following:
Don't battle In hard water; soften It
with few drops OF ammonia or lit
tie borax.
Don't battle your face while 1t is very
warm, and never use very cold water
on 1t.
Don't wash your face while you are
travelling without putting little alcohol
In the water: rubbing with little vase
line Is good for the face ut this time.
Don't attempt to remove dust with
cold water; give your face hot bath.
using plenty OF good soap, then give /, a
thorough rinsing with water that has
Ind the chill taken of It.
Don't rub your face with coarse
towel: just remember that It Is not made
Of cast Iron. Treat II as you would the
finest porcelain-gently and dclicnteiy.
Don't believe you can get rid OF wrink-
les by filling the crcvices with powder.
Instead give your face n Russian bnth
occasionally: bnthe 1t with hot water, so
hot that you will wonder how you will
stand 1t. and then minute after with
cold water that will make 1t glow with
warmth: dry with soft towel and 20 to
bed. and you ought 10 sleep like n baby,
and while you are resting your skin will
be growing ilrmer and the wrinkles dis
appearing.
Don't be afraid OF little s,lnburn.
Guarding the skin too carefully with
wells. etc, will often do more harm than
good. a few applications Of simple To-
tions-buttcrmllk for frcckles and sweet
cream for sunburn. will soon remove oil
these traces OF the summers outing.

LEXINGTON UNION cLUn,

My Dear Sir:-Whnt do you think OF

The cause OF this change is my Inher-
cnt love VI country, and. what con-
slider the pernicIOus policy OF the Demo-
Gratis In their dealings with finance aud
the tariff. This policy has well nigh
bankruptcd the country, and II pursued
further, with the SoclalIstic and free
silver ideas embodied in the Chicago
platform. It IL easy to see that the result

The IntCllGcncer accuses the Register OF
"suppresstrS' the fact in Its news col
unnS that the present administration Is
opposed to the freec onaEe Of silver. This
statement. innde evidently in good faith
In the lntclllgpnccr's editorial columns
yesterday. Is not only untrue hut decidedly
and highly amuslng.--RtSlStcr.
The thing which the IntclllEence- nc
cused the Register for doing was not the
suppression Of the fact that the admin
istrltion was opposed 10 the free coinage
OF silver" The Register has not sup
pressed that fact: on the contrary. until
quite recently. It supported the admin
istrnt!on In Its View on the question.
The accusation was that the Register
suppressed an important Associated
Press dispatch TO the effect that mem
hers 0f the administration would not
support the Popu!ist- Democratic ticket
nominated at Chicago'and the platform
on which 1t stands. Why does the Reg
lister feel called upon TO ,misquotc the
