WOMEN AND BUSINESS.

Mrs. William NJ. Ellicott. president
of the Arundel Club, Baltimore, in an
address before the Maryland State
Federation OF Women's Clubs, told of
the average woman's terror of a bust
ness transaction.
There are just three women's clubs
In Baltimore" she said, that own
their club houses. Why are there not
more? Simply because most women
know nothing of business, and when
questions of stocks and bonds, shares
and interest arise, they are not only
at sea, but terrified. Women should
for their own happiness know more of
business. ''-Philadelphia Record.

OLIVE OIL FOR THE COMPLEXION

What shall take for my COM
plexion?" a reigning beauty asked Sir
Thomas Barlow.
Take olive OIL" the great physician
answered. Live on it; live in it; eat
it; drink it; dress your food with it; Luz
bricate your system" AS the result of
following this advice the lady achieved
her deSire-a clear skin.
Olive OIL though incapable of sup
porting life if taken alone, nevertheless
lends itself to a diminished meat diet.
as it prevents waste of tissue. The
warm, rosy complexion of the italian
and Sicilian women is due to the free
use of olive oil as much as to the air
and climate OF their country.
From one to two tablespoonfuls
spread over the Jay in different ways
will achieve the result desired.-Wash-
