Yazoo's Business League.

Yazoo City is preparing to organ
ize a business league to aid in the
work of development in that hustling

has not long since provided itself
with such an organization. Nothing
will and can do the good that live

GROWING OLD GRACEFULLY
No Woman Can Do This Who Has
Permitted Her Mirror to Be-
come Her Tyrant.

To g great many women the time
they devote before the mirror be-
comes in a way a period of supreme
torture, Whether long or short, this
time spent in peering into her glass
and searching there for signs of age,
care CT worry in her face Is not only
time wasted, but put to the worst
possible use.
have in mind, says writer in the
San Francisco Chronicle woman OF
80 odd. in the heyday of her beauty.
who daily scans her mirror for traces
of the first wrinkle or the first gray
hair. The day when she makes the
discovery-and it will be long before
anyone else does-will be a day of
misery for her, for she firmly believes
that youth, beauty and happiness are
bound UP in the preservation of an
unlined brow and raven hair.
Her apprehension is SO great that
she worries so that age should take
her Unawares that she is really incapa
BILE of fully enjoying her youth and
good looks.
No one can get the best out of life
who lives in constant dread of what
the mirror will reflect Every woman
wants to be as pretty as possible, and
every woman should do all in her
power to preserve her charms. But to
make tyrant of the mirror is to give
it power and influence which does
not rightly belong to it
We see in others what we wish to
see in them, and this is particularly
true of the reflections in the looking
glass.
If we scan it for traces of oncoming
years, for wrinkles and lusterless eyes,
we see, or think we see, the signs of
age approaching. If one looks at it
convinced that it will reflect the vigor
and splendid maturity which one feels
there will be no disappointment.
A wrinkle, a gray hair does not
mean age. The handsomest woman
know is a grandmother, and the years
may possibly point to 40, but when she
looks into the glass she does so fear
lessly, knowing that she will see there
the image of face full of charm, good
cheer and sympathy, and she is never
disappointed.
She uses many outward means of
preserving her looks and attends to
her hair and complexion persistently,
but she has learned the secret that 1t
is her spirit and not the lotion that
keeps her looking and feeling young.
She does not think Of herself as old,
nor speak of the approaching years
with dread. Her mind is filled with
interest for all things, her heart with
sympathy for all people, and she has
found the secret of youth.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY NOTES

The afternoon nap is beneficial to
those who would gain flesh.
After the shampoo, if the hair is stiff
and dry, rub olive oil into the roots.
Highly scented soaps are often in
furious, as the scent is added to conceal
rancid ingredients.
In dieting to reduce flesh drink no
liquids at meals and no water until an
hour at least after the meal.
A glass of warm or hot milk taken
just before or Immediately after arising
will prove flesh producer.
For enlarged pores the camel's hair
brush and constant scrubbing with pure
soap is the quickest and surest cure.
Thin people who wish to gain flesh
should eat light luncheon before retir-
ing; an empty stomach feeds upon the
flesh of the body.
If the finger nails are filed daily, little
cutting is needed. This is an excellent
plan to follow when the nails are brittle
and break in the cutting.
A bad figure and poor carriage are
often due TO laziness. Walk with the
shoulders back, the chest. elevated and
the hips back if good carriage is de-
sired.
To help remove dandruff from the
calp rub or massage every night with
the tips of the fingers; this stimulates
the scalp and helps to loosen the dan

TOOK BOYS SUGGESTION.
Plowboy Came Out of the Field and
Told Railroaders How to Start
Stalled Engine.

A travelling man relates that while rid
ing on the new orient Line between Harper
and Anthony few days ago, one of the
side rods of the engine broke, and the other
side stopped on dead CENTER" so that
when the repair was made it was impossible
to start again. According to the Kansas
City Star he says:
"The engineer, the conductor and all
the passengers took turns going over the
thing and trying to devise a way to make
it run. Finally boy came out of the field
where he had been blowing to see what was
going on. He crawled through the wire
fence and sat down on the bank and famed
himself with his straw hat. If you'd back
that last car up the grade an let er come
down gerchunk, that 'ud start 'er,' he final
ly suggested, deliberately.
"The railroad men shifted contemptuous-
ly, but the passengers sided with the boy.
Finally the conductor gave orders that the
rear car be uncoupled No less than 80 pas
sengers caught hold and pushed the car up
the grade. Once at the top the car was
let go. The loose coach gained momentum
as it came down hill, and in spite of the en-
gineer's admonition to let her come down
easy the emergency battering ram crashed
into the train with a tremendous thump.
The engine was bumped off center all

The first is mode of two crocheted
mats of soft wool about three inches
in diameter. A loosely-sewn, circular.
fiat case of white material holding the
powder, is placed between the wool
mats, the latter then fastened together
around the edges by crocheted bor-
der having open-work through which
ribbon is run. The loose case al
lows the powder to sift out at the
slightest pressure, and the soft wool
is more pleasant to the face than the
ordinary chamois skin.
The second purse puff is made of a
circular bit of thin silk, three or four
inches across, and about an inch from
the pinked edge a baby ribbon is
shirred in. A tiny lambs wool bag IS
put in the center, the lambs wool
holding the powder, and also acting

but very seldom does she want to g'1
