Don't let politics interfere with your
business to such an extent that it causes
you to be partisans in your dealings.
Keep ever in mind the fact that above
all you and your neighbor who differs
fr ON you politically are citizens Of the
same glorious country, that he may be
as sincere in his opinions as you are in
yours. Don't think that your party
holds all that is good and true and that
all other contains only EVIL, 1t is perfect
ly proper, and indeed commendable,
that you should take sufficient interest
in political questions to inform yourself
thoroughly concerning them, and hav-
ing formed your views, it is your right
and duty as good citizen to vote your
sentiments. but do not forget to afford
to others the same right you claim your
self.

Always cheer up the man who goes In
for improvement. Do not kick at .
proposed improvement simply because
it is not at your door. If a rich man
starts project, encourage him, if q
poor man starts, help him. Don't bs
afraid to thrust your hand down into
your pocket to help a public enterprise.
More towns have been killed by such
refusals than in any other way. The
citizens of any prosperous work are
united. Stand together, work together
for the interests of the whole town.
Always stand ready to do your part.
Don't grumble and spend your time
prophesying failures, but help to make
every enterprise success, be it great OF
small. Be energetic, be enterprisini
and your example will be initiated.

What Theodore Roosevelt Says.

An article on 1.-The Presidency" by
Theodore Roosevelt, to be published in
the November 9th issue of The Youths
Companion, will be of great public
interest. When the srticle was written
Mr.. Roosevelt had not even been nomi-
mated for the Vice Presidency.
Nothing was then farther from his
thought than that he would 80 soon ex-
ercise the great powers which are entrust-
ed to the President of the United States.
In view of the circumstances the
article possesses an Importance more
than ordinary. and it will be eagerly
looked for. The number of The Youths
Companion containing it, and all the
subsequent issues of 1902, will be sent
free to new subscribers from the time

ready a well defined fashion in crisp
silks. This does not interfere with the
demand for foulards, but merely aug

are among the enticing novelties. The
majority of these rustling rabrics are

that suggest their own decoration, and
while in some cases these light silks
are not so expensive as foulards, they
are just as full dress and durable as
the softer weave.
Pure Pompadour Combinations.
AS to the foulards themselves, those
in pompadour colors and pompadour
figures are in the most active demand
This term pompadour implies a silk of

broken at intervals in circles or ovals
to display wreath or bouquet of flow

shape of a double line of descending
garlands, in close woven tiny pink buds
caught here and there with shepherd

gated poseys.

natural means are powerless to really
aid in cleansing and nourishing a COM
olexion.
After years of work I found that
in 80 per cent. of the faces brought
under my glass, cleanliness and re-
newed circulation was all they needed.
In. my own practice I never used
steam, and I never handle a patients
face. 1t is imperatively necessary to
examine complexion first with a pow
erful magnifying glass to see whether
it is too dry, too greasy, or prema-
turely wrinkled; whether there is
loose, unnecessary fat under the nat
ural sheath of skin. which is distend-
ing the pores in order to throw off it's
waste; or whether undue acidity of the
blood is not making its presence felt
by its astringent qualities.
Facial Packs.
Large pored skins are not always
greasy though they are invariably
exceedingly unclean, and when l found
an impoverished complexion, of what
we call big mesh 1 treated it first to a
pack. My pack took the place of steam
ing. The patient was put in a reclin-
ing chair, her hair and shoulders pro-
tected with oiled silk, and then, with
clothes wrung out in hot water, l
regularly put the face in a moist
flannel oven. When the skin was
dry, as well as impoverished and

Elbow sleeves have been no uncom-

to become universally popular this

long. and the sleeve ends in a full bag
at this joint or fits smoothly down the
arm and ends at the elbow in a deep
lace frill. Dozens upon dozens of
charming wash silk and embroidered

these, though given the studied shirt

sleeves just below the curve of ones
