TIE GIRL WITH THIN
ARMS,
Can Easily Remedy the De-
feet by Rubbing Them a
Few Minutes Daily.

Thin arms should be carefully con-
aealed. They have an Impoverished
look that robs their owner of some of
her dignity. If the arms are unduly
long, IS they occasionally are, the eff
feet may be neutralized by wearing
wide lands OF black velvet faateped
with pretty bpttpns OF plssps OF buck
les. Hhis reduces the apparent length
of the arms. "Thin arms" says NJ.
Charles Blanc, the great French au-
thority on dress, denote bad health
and an enfeebled race" The best
remedy IS to wash the arms with fine
lather of soap at least twice day, and
to dry them thoroughly and rub them
vigorously. This treatment brings the
pores into action and induces healthy
condition of the skin. Rubbing with q
soft chamois leather is excellent for
the skin, giving it both smoothness
and gloss. Mrs. Humpbry In the June

In Peace Prepare for War,

IN Feace prepare Tor War.
We have been asked a hundred times
by friends, as to the probability of flu
sion with the populists at the next
election, and as we have no particular
inside knowledge of the party work.
ings, especially IN Harrison county, we
are not prepared to express any official
or partisan opinion on the subject, but
as an individual, we are of the opinion
that but two tickets will be in the field,
democrat and republican, not that
we are opposed to the election of q
populist to office, but the idea of hold
ing two conventions to srrive at q con-
clusion as to who shall be the candi.
dates, and to say the ticket shall be
composed of just so many democrats
and so many populists is inconsistent
We favor the calling of q democratic
convention, and opening the door suf-
ficlently wide to admit all who are OPP
posed to the election of the republican
ticket. and mans former political
opinions need not be bar to his nom
inatlon on the democratic ticket. 1t is
not what party you have heretofore
belonged TO, but the important CUES
tion is: Where do you now standP
There are populists in the county
who have been with us in the past,
and while they may hold opinions not
in perfect accord with the democratic
party, and some democrats who do not
fully agree with the populists, but on
all substantial questions they can agree
and the ticket may be composed of
both democrats and populists, and they
can work in harmony, but we do not
favor the former plan of holding two
conventlons and nominate one ticket.
rhis is, however, our own personal
opinion and not the opinions Of any
body or party. But we may be told
the only feasible plan is the old one
and unless such plan is adopted, no
hope of success can be entertained. If
any man is 80 determined to have a
fusion on the e|d plap, as kick oyer
the tsaces, we CAN'T help 1t. but we fa-
vor union Of the democrats and pop.
ulists, and favor convention of all
such persons to unite on one ticket.
But we may be asked: Why not all
unite in populist convention? Tho
reason is obvious, The Aemoacxts in
this county nave about three votes to
the populists one, and 1t is not reason
able to ask the mountain to come to
the mole hill, but it is reasonable to
ask the minority to unite with the ma
jority, not to the exclusion of "a minor
ity candidate, but to come together in
spirit of unity and concord, and
select 9 tiekst satisfactory to all, That
this can be done we have no doubt,
but it requires spirit Of concession
and compromise with contending con-
ditions, and if accepted, will bring vic.
tory-to divide into contending fac
tions is to invite defeat. d. Nj. H.
