The HOME CIRCLE COLUMN,
Mothers.

Mid J. 'e's c. nmotions dismal fears
. Mid cares and woes and floods Of tears
How sweetly breaks upon the ear
Some word Of comfort or Of cheer;
Yet Of our friends there is not another
Who speaks a. gently az our mother.
Here disappointments crowd each day.
Our brightest hopes soon fade away.
And friends long trusted Oft deceive
We scarcely know whom 20 believe.
Yet though We fear to trust each other.
We're not afraid 10 trust our mother
Yet here where there's 80 much deceit
friends we have We love TO meet
There's love we know that will endure
Not sordid. selfish. but all pure;
But though beloved By sister. brother.
There's none that love us like our mother
Among the names TO mortals given.
There's none like mother home and heaven
For homes no home with out her care.
And heaven. we know she viii b. there
Then let us while we love each other,
Remember and be kind 20 mother"

inc are the facts in the case: The
charter Of the town Of Farmville says
"The said town aud the taxable

EXEMPT and ,ree from the payment OF
any moor rate OF road tax, and from
contributing 10 any county expenses
for any wear I'm which II shall appear
that said town shall at its own eA,

The town of Farmvl'e has for
good many years past provided FOR It's

at us own expense. Hhe town OF
Farmville pays IS cents on the 500
assessed values, and the county lout

CARE OF THE EYELIDS
SWELLING AND PUFFINESS TELL
SIGNS OF AGE.
Bathing. Massage and Application of
Astringent Lotions Keep Tissues
in Tone-1ay Arise from Chronic
Systemic Conditions.

The condition of the tissues sur
rounding the eyes makes much more
difference to the appearance Of the
eyes themselves than is generally
realized. Even an unusually clear.
bright pair of eyes will lose much Of
their attractiveness If the skin sur
rounding them is Wrinkled, or Ii
there are puffy bags underneath.
When the skin is young, healthy,
firm and elastic, the temporary wrin-
kles produced by frowning or smj1-
ing leave no permanent trace, but
when the flesh becomes f1abby and
the skin loose and non-elastic, the
REPETITION of muscular movements
leaves deep burrows.
The puffiness which is seen under
the eyes is the despair of many wom-
en-. Sometimes this is due to some
chronic internal trouble, but more
often it is due to relaxed condition
of the skin
1t is easy to determine whether
the puffiness under the eyes Is due
to Inflammation of the lower lid.
Pull the lid down, and, if it looks red
and infiamed inside, the chances are
that this is the seat of the trouble.
This trouble can nearly always be
remedied by the application of mild
astringent by means of an eyecup.
/ Salt and water make an excellent So
luton for this, and another good To-
ton is boric acid of the strength Of
ten grains to the ounce of distilled
water
In addition to allaying the inf1am-
nation measures should also be Ia
ken for restoring tone to the relaxed
condition of the skin. Ts,nnic acid
will be useful for this twenty
grains to an ounce Of glycerine. This
may be applied to the baggy skin
night and morning by means of
small brush or bit of absorbent cot
ton.
Massage is also most effective for
toning up the skin and removing
bagginess or puffiness. Use both
hands; place the finger tips directly
beneath the eyes, press gently
around the onter corners and up
ward, following the contour of the
eye.
Besides che massage for the re-
Taxed tissues under the eyes, massag-
Ing the eyelids is very beneficial and
keeps them from becoming wrinkled
and puffy.
This should be gently done by
means If the forefinger or middle
finger of each hand applied to the
corresponding eyeball over the closed
lid Begin at the middle, and gen
tly, with a rotary motion, pass the
fingers outward until the whole lid
has been covered. Very little pres
sure should be given.
If the puffiness stubbornly refuses
TO disappear after the above treat
ment, it is most likely occasioned by
some constitutional trouble, and 1t
would be wise t. consult a physician
IN regard to the cause.
