To Prevent Chapping.

AS cold weather approaches women
try to devise means for preventing
hands and lips from chapping. An ex-
cellent remedy to prevent chapping is
cold cream. The manicurist told Inc
that it also whitens the skin more than
any preparation. 1t has taken the place
of the old time remedy--mutton suet.
1t should be well rubbed into the skin,
and gloves-preferably white-slipped
Oh. The palms of the gloves should be
slit in several places to allow the air
and prevent cramp of the muscle, and
the finger tips clipped off.
Vaseline should never touch the
hands. 1t turns the skin yellow and
leaves stain ON the nails that is hard
to clear away. New York World.

The fusion gems just now floating
around add interest to current pO-
litical gossip. The Scotland Citizen
thus refers to the reform legislature /:
"No party ever won public respect or
confidence by using its power to en-
act laws simply for its own beIieGt. "
And the Mitchell Gazette, a leading
populist paper, putsit little more
polntedly: "a party built upon
spoils will not hold the rank and file
of the reform forces OF the state to-
gether."

THE REGENT DIAMOND.
The One Precious Stone That Comes EsaS
est to Being Flawless.

The Regent diamond, while surpassed
in size by the Great Mogul and several
other we'll known stones, is really the
finest Of all, being nearly faultless in
form and purity and the most brilliant
diamond in the world today.
Its French history dates back to 1717.
In that year it was purchased from its
English owner, for the French regalia,
by the Duke Of Orleans, then regent of
France, whence its present name. 1t
had previously been known by name
almost as famous.
In 1717 French finances were in q
desperate strait. The people were starv-
ing, the treasury was nearly exhausted,
credit even was lost, yet under the per-
suasions of the Scotch financier Law and
the French Duke of ST. Simon the re-
gent of France, hesitating where every
monarch Of Europe had refused, finally
agreed to the price of $675,000.
Greatly to the relief Of the duke, his
act appealed to the pride of the French
people, and instead of condemnation for
his extravaganza he received their ap-
plause. In the light Of subsequent events
their approval has touch of the pro-
phetic.
The first prominent appearance Of the
diamond in the French regalia was III
the circlet of the crown made for the
coronation of the boy Louis XIV, in 1922.
After half century it was again the
center of new crown, that which in
1875 weighed heavy on the head of the
young Louis XVI till he cried out in
discomfort, 1T hurts meW
Then come 1889 and the fire and
blood and fury of the French revolution.
