"Winter lingering chills the lap
of May.'' This is true of these
Minnesota prairies as we'll as of the
rugged Alpine, heights of Switzer-
land IF which Goldsmith sung. This
season it is so, surely. The weather
keeps very cool indeed for this
season of the year.
Mons Sorem is enough better to
be around again. Mr.. Sorem has
set out about a thousand trees
about his house this spring, which
will add still more to the inviting
appearance of his place which is
already one of the most attractive
and homelike in the neighborhood It
is time and money we'll spent.
Some pieces Of. grain are damaged
quite little by the hard winds we
have had this spring. Oats seem
too be injured more than any other
kind of grain, and many fields, it
is thought, will not yield more than
half crop. The weather at present
is, we should think favorable, and
it is to be hoped the crops will be
better than present appearances
would indicate. Some grain, how
ever, looks very we'll. and should
the season be favorable, we may
look for an average crop.
If one wishes to buy low priced
goods he must expect to get goods
of low quality. AS rule, things
sell for about what they are worth,
ifthere is any difference, the low
priced goods are likely too be the
dearest. Usually low price means
low quality and goods Of low quality
are rarely cheap. If we want good
articles we can have them if we are
willing too pay for them and in the
end they are the most satisfactory

Remember. in smoothing out wrinkles, that

that 1t is all wrinkled and try to fancy that
you are Strengthening it out.
Run your fingers gently over the surface
and notice how the wrinkle disappear be-
meath your touch. Do not bear down hard,
but use plenty of skin food and do not rest
until that heavy furrow at each side of the
mouth is gone.
Laughing wrinkles are the hardest TO
obliterate, because they come at each side
of the nose and they are produced by fat
cheeks and the habit of laughing in such
a way that the furrow appears every time
you smile.
Fer the laughing wrinkle you must re-
duce the cheeks and you can only do this
by rubbing across the wrinkle from the eide
OF the nose, outward toward the eyes. You
will need to do this at least twice q day
and to keep it up, probably, as long as you
live.

and IL is said her face is regularly massagcd

Answers to Correspondents in
Regard to Beauty Quest.

A correspondent writes that she has a
deep wrinkle between her eyes. with Z
smaller wrinkle each side of the deep ons.
and she asks how she might have il re-
moved. Perhaps 1t would be well 10 go
back to the beginning of this wrinkle. and
here are three questions whoich might be
asked:
Is your eyesight good, or do you scoml
when you read? If there is any trouble of
this kind your first step will be 20 get Il
pair Of glasses to use when reading.
The second question is: Have you been
stout and are you reducing your weight?
This will often produce wrinkles in the face
from the sudden falling off Of the tissues be-
meath the skin. In this case you mist use
an astringent wash to tighten the skin.
Perhaps the wrinkles are caused by neg
lecting the cuticle. You do not wash your
face properly and you do not feed it with
the proper lotions. AL three of the difficult
ties are very easy to overcome and you can
rest assured that the wrinkle between the
eyes can be made to go away and stay
away. Use the skin food recommended d

Chin wrinkles are harder to manage be-
cause they are caused by the double chin
and by the habit Of wearing a high stock.
