at Paducah, KY.

Paducah, KY, Oct. Al. J.
Bleisch jewelry store was broken into
last night and about 81. 900 worth of
goods stolen. The burglars were pro-
fessionals and were following the
Buffalo Bill Show, it is supposed,
They cut the rear window out and
opened the combination of the safe.
The fine stock, most of which was in
the safe, was taken into a rear room
and sorted, the most valuable being
retained and the other thrown on the
floor. There were taken 100 fine
watches. 1000 rings, some of them
very fine ones, and $4,000 worth Of
diamond pendants. The work was
no doubt that of experts, as evidenced
by the way the safe was opened and
the Judgment displayed in selecting
the goods. The police have no clue.

The Supreme Chancellor's motto is:
Fraternity in all things fr~aternal; bust
ness in all business matters"
The Supreme Keeper of Records and
Seal writes under date of April lst. that
ne has reports from all the grand do
mains except four, and that we shall
make a net gain for 1900 of more than
twenty three thousand.
1t is believed the Wilmington land
will soon double in value.
Thirteen hundred thirty-nine ap-
plications for insurance were received
by the Endowment Rank during March,
exceeding by D the new business for
any month in its history. Thirty-three
hundred ~sixty-four applications were re-
ceived during the first quarter of 1901,
a gain of 974 over the last quarter of
1900. Death losses have been paid
during the first quarter Of The present
year amounting to $3.50, 6O7 SO. The
total expenses of the quarter were $780,
253 % as compared with $50, 1872 70
for the first quarter in 1900.
T~hirty-five warrants have been
granted for Uniform Rank companies
since the Supreme Lodge convention
at Detroit. In addition to this 10 de-
linquent companies have settled their
accounts and fallen into line. The out
look for April is very gratifying.

munication with Grand and Supreme
Lodge matters has fossilized US some
what in our Mid Pacific methods, but
we have an ambition to be up-to-date

the brethren there. Also a brother
who will perform a similar service in

Grand Chancellor Rogers of Texas
writes me under date Of March oath
that in his opinion there is no necessity
existing for any further relief being
sent to Galveston. as the distressed

The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1901-12-15

Nearly all women might easily be moro
healthy than they are, and consequently
far more fascinating and beautiful
1t may seem that so much has already
been written about beauty and how to
retain it that there is absolutely nothing
left to say. Since the time of Cyrus old
grandfather Astyages, who used to put
paint around his eyes, since the reign of
Cleopatra, who daily bathed her dusky
complexion in rose water and benzoin-
since those old dead and gone times, up
to the present moment, new, interesting
and valuable theories and suggestions re-
garding personal charms are constantly
being advanced. 1t seems worth while
occasionally to consider some of the i'm
portant and novel points bearing on the
subject-in other words, to get all the
help we can in the cultivation of beauty.
The Throat, Shoulders and Arms.
An important first consideration is the
throat, shoulders and arms-do they pos
sess the correct artistic curves and the
proper alabaster wilderness?
The cultivation OF artistic curves and
fair, clear skin, in throat, shoulders and
arms is worth some little consideration
for every woman who includes therein
her weapons of attraction.
The throat should be round, full and
pillar-like.
The shoulders should be sloping and
not too broad, but rather too broad than
too narrow.
The arm to reach the standard of classic
beauty should have a rounded outline,
with no sharpness at the elbows. and
tapering gently down to a well-shaped.
not too large wrist.
Before attempting to whiten the skin.
endeavor to remove sunburn, tan and
moles. which naturally is not the work OF
a moment. However, wonders may be
accomplished in a comparatively short

through boiling cloth. Alum, white sugar,
gum arabic, pounded and sifted, then
made into paste with water, is good for
blotches in the skin.
Having by this time achieved white
throat. and it is the throat only that is
just now under consideration, it must
next be made full and round. Unsightly
hollows on each side of the collar bone
must be filled out
l. Bend the head slowly forward, un-
til the chin touches the neck. then slowly
raise the head to it's normal position. Re-
peat these movements fifteen times.
Q. Bend the head backward as far as
possible, and then raise to it's normal po-
stion; repeat the movement.
8. Bend the head Sideways. two times
to the right and as many to the left
A. Roll the head slowly to the right, to
the left-and then forward.
s. Stand before the mirror, and attempt
to draw out and down the corners of the
mouth. 1t will probably take some time
to accomplish this; only persevere; when
you are able to get control of the muscles
you will see the cuticle Of the entire front
of the neck move upward. The muscle is
attached to the cuticle of the chin. and
around nearly the whole length of the
lower jaw: its lower insertions are at
tached to the cuticle of the chest, and
when in contraction 1t pulls the corners
of the mouth downward, and the cuticle
of the chest upward
Now this is the prescription: Apply the
remedy; be faithful to yourself, and
give you my word that in time-perhaps
two weeks-the outward and visible result
is going to be roundness and fullness of
throat which approaches the artistic
model.
1t will be we'll to pay heed to some COM
mon sense rules, having brought your
neck into fairly good condition.
Don't battle in hard water; soften II
with borax
Don't battle while very warm, and only
occasionally in cold water.
Give the neck as much freedom and air
as possible High "chokers" and the stiff
linen in which tailor-made and athletic
young women delight are the worst foes
to a beautiful neck.
Another thing which shoemakers and
physicians will tell you to do is to wear
loose shoes and very thin stockings. This
will give the feet the nearest approach
possible to barefoot ease and be an excel
lent thing for the whole body
