Q NEED TOGROW OLD
ave it in Their Power to Re-
Young if They Elect
to Do So.

All women have it in their power to
remain young. 1t is an easy thing TO
do if one wants to do 1t. One can stay
young forever if one elects 20 do so.
or one can grow old as rapidly as one
pleases 1t is thing which is almost
at ones own disposal.
True, staying young is hard work
one cannot neglect oneself and yet
remain young. The body will begin
10 show wear and tear and, unless one
constantly repairs it, there will be the
finger marks of time upon the hands
and face. upon the hair and the teeth.
and upon the whole body. These come
in acme cases very soon indeed.
Take the woman who gets up in the
morning and neglects the facial steam
ing process. take the woman who re-
tires 1T night without the lotions
which are necessary to beauty. take
the woman who goes out into the
winds without protecting her COM
pleNion, and take the woman who
frowns and gathers burrows during
the day without smoothing them away
at night. woman of this kind Will
surely look old and very soon.
Wrinkles are the first marks OF age.
The girl OF twenty will begin 10 get
them. At % She will have from three
TO hYe deep wrinkles between her
eyes. Perhaps she VIII have the COM
planning wrinkles which come across
the forehead at an early age. These
wrinkles mark woman as old before
her time.
TO get away the wrinkles requires
one oil three good treatments, or all
three. In the hands of a good manip-
u!ator every wrinkle can be taken out
of woman's forehead in a few hours
and II the wrinkles come back again
II VII be the woman's own fault.
TO understand the art OF kesDing
wrinkles al lay one must understand
their construction. Wrinkles are
caused by a poor skin. The skin
loses its natural oils and becomes dry
upon the surface. The outer skin
shr!vels and wrinkles and in time
these wrinkles become burrows. Great
deep creases. deep enough to accom-.
modate ones finger, VIII lie upon the
brow OF women whose skin. naturally
dry, has been allowed to curl up and
die.
To reclaim poor old skin is u
pleasant task for one who understands
her job. and it is Il task from which
she VIII not shrink. The woman who
can cure wrinkles viii take the deep.

She will steam the skin until il is in a
receptive state. and then. while the

first OF all. This can only be dona by
feeding the pores. Take the skin and
heat it hot Hot cloths will do the
work we'll and without injury And
then. while ii is very warm the skin
food can be mRssaged in. This is the
quickest fattening agency Known.
Massaglng skin food into the

home woman shrinks because il takes

Women with plump cheeks should
take care not to rub skin food into
them or the cheeks will puff out and
grow too fat. But the forehead can
be fed in this manner and with the
very best of results. Rub in the skin
food and keep on rubbing 1t in This
is an excellent way to fatten and re-
move the lines which are such a mark
OF age.

The DYAk Nation.

The Dyak nation of the East Indian
community has an effective way Of
dealing with liar, says the Boston
Transcript. While he is alive they
take every means to spread abroad his
evil repute, and when he is dead they
perpetuate his infamy with a monu-
ment. Posterity passes by and learns
the valuable lesson Of what to avoid.
On the site where he lived the chief
sufferer from his wiles thrusts a
branch of tree into the ground at the
same time uttering yOciferOus curse
against the wrong-doer. Whoever
passes that way contributes more
branches and more curses. for Qlya *
the moral codes of other nations; but
Dyak is solemnly bound by every
sense of honor to curse out liar.
Finally the branches accumulate.
There grows what is called the tu-
gong bula. Its evolution proceeds
through the years. AS long as the
Dyak sense of honor is awake. or until
the case Of a more recent liar EN-
cages its attention the tugong bula
grows and grows. For genera tons
and generations the memory of the
poor mans barefaced inaccuracy is
kept alive. His great-great-gre
children are made to blush for his
offense. And so lying is a decadent
art among the Dyaks.

his lumber camp near Utica, N. Y,

Wives Must Work In Japan.

AS an example of the humble attl'
tude of the japanese wife Mrs. Hugh
Fraser relates this incident: "A mid
dle-aged man on the upper floor was
suffering terribly from heat, and his
little wife seemed greatly distressed
about him. All the screens had been
opened, but it was GREATNESS day,
and no breeze came to ring the little,
glass bells on the hanging fern wreath
on the veranda. The man sat with
his head in his hands grooming, while
madame, kneeling on the mats behind
him, famed his back, and from time to
time rubbed him down with a blue
towel, an expression Of the deepest
respect and sympathy on her face.
When he seemed little better she
busted herself with preparing tea,
which he drank eagerly, and, OF
course, made himself frightfully hot
again, when she went back patiently
to her tanning and rubbing"

this favorable condition. Railway
