There's a
 woman you know

There's a
 woman you know
 who looks younger and fresher in the face every time she goes out. It pug zles you to understand how she keeps her youth full complexion. It cer- tainly looks real and yet you feel that she must have some secret which you hav'nt.
 It's just this:
 She uses Hagan's Magno- lia Balm, a delicate liquid which restores the skin to its youthful glow and life. Wise women have been using it for forty years. It's as harmless as the water you drink. Try it and see what a pleasant story your mirror will have to tell.

FOR cHARITYs SAKE ONLY
Scheme for corralling Her Husbands
Loose Change Worked
by Wife.

A West Philadelphia man who deter
ly from strong drink for a period was
persuaded by his wife into financial
arrangement which threatened to work
disastrously, relates the Philadelphia
Record.
The agreement was that every time
the man refused an invitation to take
drink he was to put the money
which he would probably have spent
in returning the compliment into a
pocket reserved for the purpose and
give the contents of the pocket to his
wife every night. She was to use this
money for charity, and for fear the
husband might not have always the
exact change to put in the pocket she
provided him with a number of beans
to be used as counters, valued at five
cents each, and to save bookkeeping
and memorizing.
The first evening the man got home
he found As cents in cash in his pocket
and % beans. This marked very
exceptional day, the man declared, but
the next evening he found his pocket
carried one dime and S3 beans Then
he alleged that he would probably
have refused some of the invitations
which he had counted even IL he had
not been on the water wagon, where
upon his wife confessed that she had
made arrangements with her father,
her brother and her sisters husband
to 60 to the abstainer every day as
often as possible with an invitation
to drink.
Since 1t all went to charity the hus-
band took the joke, but now, though
the arrangement is still on, the wife's
receipts from the pocket have ma
| terially lessened.

BoTHERsoME SQUIRRELS.

in the Town Of Evans
ton, Ill,

The festive Evanston squirrel has
become SO rampant that appeals to

Police Frost has decided to ask the
council to repeal the ordinance making
the killing of the little animals q
Enable offense.
Added to their former pranks Of
eating lead pipe and ransacking gar
rets. the squirrels have taken up the
habit of robbing hens nests and
breaking up dovecotes. Angry women
daily are IN consultation with the po-
lice and telling chief Frost thei1
troubles.
To all these complaints the chief re-.
plies that everyone is entitled to pro.
tect her property, and II the complain.
ant can throw stone straight the Law
will not deprive her Of the privilege.
"The squirrels seem to have become
more of pest than pet" says Col
Frost. "They are gnawing into houses
all over the suburb and are commit.

taken on new and deeper significance.
The novels Of Camille Lemonnier, the
verse of Verhaeren and the gentle mys-
ticism of the Maeterlinck have all fiow-

Frederick reveal a penetrating mas

Alinne embodies a dolorous and tender
appeal.

have been achieved. The art of Bel
