DO AWAY WITH DOUBLE CHIN
Exsreisss and Applications That viii

Rsstors Good Ap-
osarance.

The fad for Dutch necks has strucl
terror to the heart Of the woma,
with the double chin.
Double chins are of various kinds
There is the chin which is simply to'
fat. Then there is the double chiI
which is caused by the shortness o
the neck and the habit of carrying tbs
chin too low. And again, there II the
chin which merely looks double be
cause Of faulty dress. as by wearing
collars too tight.
The necklace calls attention to the
double chin. Before putting on 9
necklace the woman with a fat chir
should massage 1t downward. She
should take the palm of her hand and
stroke the tip of her chin with a Wig
orous stroke.
Then she should rub rigts down
from the end of the chin to the dip
in the throat.
Alcohol strengthens the muscles OF
the neck. Dash your throat with alco
hol and massage 1t downward. An
other excellent massage for remov'
ing the double chin ia the Ice massage.
Press the ice securely upon the flesh
and massage down. A dozen treat
ments will cure the worst case imag-
Unable.
The throat of the young girl is slim
and her head sits upon her neck as
upon pedestal. Her shoulders are
sloping and her whole appearance is a
study in curves: her neck is but a
stem which supports her head. But
as she grows older the throat thickens
from neglect, the curved chin becomes
square and under the chin there come
rolls of flesh, and this stage marks the
old woman. ,.
The Japanese woman sets q flower
in her hair SO that 1t trails at one ear.
This makes her neck look slim
mer The French woman dresses her
throat very high or she makes the
neck look prettier in tone by clasping
a pink velvet ribbon around 1t. Over
the ribbon is fastened the dog collar.
The pink lends color to the neck lace
and tone TO the skin.
A stringy chin can be hardened by
slapping 1t with cologne water. The
slapping should take place at night
and the hand should be flled with
the perfume and spatted on the neck.
1t whitens the throat and makes the
desh flrmer and the skin harder.
A chin that 10 held high does not

We are long way yet from any gen.
eral deterioration on the part Of women,
but there has been q sufficient lowering of
the standard to give us pause. Has this
been necessary to awaken the slumbering
consciences of men? Many a man has
been cured of intemperance by seeing his
son brought home in state of intoxication.
The custom of drinking ran riot in the
southern states until the dominating class
awoke to the realization of it's awful effects
upon the inferior race that surrounded
them, and as a result they are now strug-
Cling to exterminate it, root and branch.

Columbia, s. c., Aug 31.-The

The first railroad train over the

State bank of Dallas aged % years,
was drowned in Lake Cliff, a local
pleasure resort, Saturday evening.
Young Simmons, with ten or twelve
other young men, was bathing in
the lake. Simmons announced his
intention to swim across the lake,
about 200 ayrds wide. When about
midway of the lake he seemd sud
denly to lose his faculties and sank.
Others of the bathers reached the
spot in about three or four minutes
and dove in thirty feet of water in
hopes of raising the body before life
should be extinct. 1t was more than
half an hour, however, before the
body was recovered. The parents
of the young man live at Wichita

body was shipped.

RAISING PEANUTS IN TEXAS.
Big Crop Being Gathered in the
San Antonio Country.

San Antonio, Texas, Aug. 81
Four thousand acres in peanuts in
one neighborhood, namely Rock Is
land in Colorado, gives some idea
of the immense increase in acreage
in peanuts in Texas. P. F. Poor
baugh of that place is now in San
Antonio arranging for the market
ing of this great crop of peanuts
He says that the peanuts have
yielded on an average of 40 bush
els to the acre, and that he has
practically closed deal with a local
peanut factory for the sale of 150,-
900 bushels at an average price of
sixty cents a bushel. The land used
in raising these peanuts, he says,
has already produced a crop of win
ter vegetables of Irish potatoes
yielding from $50 to $75 net, and
the additional $25 is velvet He
says the peanuts have been used
even more profitably to fatten hogs
and as cattle feed, but the acreage
this year was SO large that the sur
plus had to be disposed of.
The remarkable development and
growth of peanut raising in South
west Texas has led the Business
Mems Club of San Antonio to un-
dertake the demonstration of a pea
nut Oil industry. In this, the De-
partment of Agriculture has assist
ed, and arrangements have been
made for the importation of African
peanuts which are said to yield
a much higher percent of oil. These
African peanuts will be raised as an
experiment by many. farmers in this
section next year, and a manufac-
turer in San Antonio will take their
product and make oil.
According to report from Con-
SUI D. !. Murphy of Bordeaux in
France, peanut oil is manufactured
there in great quantities and is es-
teemed better for table use than
Give oil. AS high as $500 per acre
is paid for the peanuts, at this rate
the land here would yield $50 an
