CONVENIENT POWDER BOXES
The Bath Box Now More Popular
Than the Puff.

The bath powder box and puff have
ousted the face puff, partly because
other ways of applying powder to the
face are liked better than by the use
of puff and partly because the bath
pun is such comfort and joy Dainty
women are never without their large
bath powder set, which includes u box
or receptacle of glass or lacquer and a
pun four times the size of an ordinary
puff
Japanese boxes are charming and
cost less than the glass or silver kind
They measure eight or ten inches in
diameter and are as deep as an ordin-
ary pan, with cover the same size
as the bottom. They can he had in

made in other colors as well-in black.
for instance. The ribbon, tied in the
center of the huge swan s.down puff
that is as large in circumference as
the box in which it belongs, matches
the color of the lining of the box
Other bath powder boxes are made

top, or one can buy expensive cut glass
boxes wl.i an elaborately chased or
embossed silver top.

lie Mans.-"My impression of flighl
in its most perfect form" said Wilbur
Wright, the famous aeroplanist. who
has been experimenting here with his
aeroplane for some time, recently, lis
flight without the use of motor. At
the present time 1t is essential to EN-.
ploy some method of propulsion
through the air, because we don't
know enough about scientific flying to
do otherwise.
Some day we shall learn more
about the subject Then will come the
great revolution | refer to. If you
watch buzzard flying, and there are
many in our state In America, you will
see that under most conditions he ex.
pends exceedingly little energy. He
does what he would like to do, takes
advantage of rising currents OF air
in order TO mount aloft, and then. when
pc has attained a considerable height,
planes forward with outstretched
wings, covering many miles sometimes
before he is near the ground. Then, IL
he wishes to go still further he again

Women Fishermen.

On the coast OF Holland. Belgium
and Northern France the iisherwomen
are familiar sight. with their great
hand nets and quaint costumes. Many
OF the towns have distinctive costumes
by which their women can be recog.

near Ostend. wear trousers and loose
blouses. while their heads and shoul.

carry their nets into the sea and scoop
up vast quantities OF shrlmps and

their necks. and they remain for hours
at time In water above their knees.

AN AID TO SLEEP
Use a Bag of Ice Water for Pillow on
Hot Nights.

Some one has written the newspa,
pers suggesting using water bag
filed or partially filled with cold wa
ter as pillow on hot nights. Now this
Is excellent for those who can stand
it. The writer fills two.quart hot-wa-
ter bag more than half full of ice
water and slips it between the base
of the neck and the pillow on very hot
nights. 1t serves to cool the whole
body, and one sleeps blissfully
throughout the whole of sultry
night.
Because a strong, healthy person
can bear ice water or cold water for
some hours at the base of the brain,
it does not follow that very delicate
or neuralgia person could. The writer,
despite excellent health, never having
heard of II properly applied, tried it,
at first with some slight misgivings,
months ago with good results.
Probably one who could not bear the
ice water about the head could use It
applied to some other part of the
body, the ankles being a good place
also. without any but good and com.
forting results.
However, the article referred to
mentioned the use of the water bag
as n pillow, and II one has thick hair
II might not be more than comfortably
cool, so used, but quicker results are
obtained at the base of the head.

A Doctor,a DISADVANTAGE.

''In one way" said collector, at
is easier TO get money from doctor
than anybody else who is slow pay.
It is more difficult for him to swear
that he hasn't been able to make any
collections himself since the first of
the year. A doctors reception room is
open TO all possible patients. A col
lector with grain of ingenuity can
find a way TO worm out Of the men on
the waiting list information as to the
terms of payment. After an inter
view with three or four persons who
have paid spot cash for treatment and
who have told the collector they paid,
1t takes a mighty nerve on the part of
the doctor to insist that he hasn't a
dollar TO his name"

WHEN YOU GET RICH.
Only Then Are You Appreciated for
Your True Worth.

Upton Sinclair the novelist was
talking about wealth at Lake Pla-
cid
1T is pleasant to be rich he said.
Nobody can deny that. Many of the
pleasures of wealth. though, are false
and mistaken ones.

correspondent,
why not?" replied Mr.. Wright.
1t Is only question OF time and
study We already know that the
wind travels In eddles or spirals
which are conelike In form. and ON
which all manner of objects are car.
ried upward.
The currents of air are Just the
things which disturb us when we fly
under present conditions. because we
have TO pass through them by mcchan.
ical means, When the art of flying Is
developed they will aid us rather than
annoy us"
But II only would be when the wind
is strong that such currents would be
useful. objected the correspondent.
Just the contrary" replied Mr..
Wright. 1t Is when there Is almost
an absence OF wind that these spirals
become more pronounced, When the
wind is very strong they do not take
the same form. As consequence.
they are not OF the same value for lift.

DISCUSSES
THE JUDGMENT
Able Discourse Given by
Father Splinter.
VERY LARGE AUDIENCE
Hears the New York Pastor
on the Topic.
The Theme was an Old One BuI
One OF Which the Creates,
Thinkers Never Tire.

The Judgment was the theme OF
Rev Father Splinter, OF New York
City, who addressed the congregation
at the mission Of the Dominican Faith
ers at st, Mary's church, Thursday
evening, Catholics and Protestants
alike we're gathered at the beautiful
church and the spacious auditorium
was filled to its capacity.
Following the Introductory address
of Rev. Father Healey, of Columbus,
the eminent father opened his ad
dress announcing his subject for the
evening, declaring that ii was one
which was ever the subject for dis
cussion on the part of the apostles
of God St. Paul, as is recorded,
never tired of dis susslng this theme,
(which was ever of interest to hearers
everywhere. II Is one terrible pic
ture, the one picture which has been
in the minds of the worlds most
famous thinkers, philosophers, artists
and talented ones. The manner in
which Rev. Father Splinter pictured
the subject of the evening was wor-
thy of being heard repeatedly and the
attention of the massive audience
was closely held
Later in the progress of his remarks
the eminent father took occasion to
note why the Judgment is necessary.
For very many reasons is 1t so and
L., hA
some are scorned for their attempts
at right doing in this world and it
will be justice to them to be given
their reward in the next.
advancing into his theme, Father
Splinter noted those who will be
judged Among the first will be those
children who have died before baptism
and those who have sought TO do the
right. Again there will be those
who have attempted TO do the right
and have fallen by the wayside. These
will be saved through mercy and af-
ter picturing the coming of the Lord
like the lightning from the East and
the West, the speaker stated that
NllVSt WIN are iIyl IlbN iiullDtItu Wlln
the first class should earnestly pray
that they may be in the latter. The
last class is composed Of those who
have persistently done wrong. Then
and then alone according to the
priest, viii II be known what harm
those who have rebelled against the
established form have done. Then
will ii be known what harm those
parents who have taught thei-
children incorrectly have done to the
world.
: Speaking Of the Judgment day, the
father said, - Martin Luther, walking
from the steps OF the old cathedral
suddenly was possessed of evil Left
bis way. forsook his sacred VOWS,
forgot his faith. Never will It be
known until that day just what harm
that man has done"

attempt to rid the employees of their
money. In the article which is
written very forcefully the company
managers refer to those who persist
each winter in approaching the new
employees of the company and gain
ing money from them on promises
they never keep. The employees
are asked to ward off the solicitors,
who are all suspicious characters.
Zach winter large numbers of new
employees are in the service of the
company and the officials think it
only just that they warn them to
care for themselves.
