LATEST SECRETS GIVEN
OUT BY MANICUR|s1|
Let Soap Lather Dry on the
Hands and Then Rinse
With Scented Milk.

The welI-groomed girl is careful oil
her hands. If they look discolored she
rubs them with a few grains Of pumice
after which she fathers them with soap
letting the soap become dry or the
hands. This IL the latest secret of the
manicure's establishment-let the latherI
dry. on your hands, then wash 1t Of
with scented milk.
The scented milk secret Is one Of the
girl bachelors cherished secrets. Into
q wide-mouthed bottle she puts a hand
full OF pulverized oatmeal. On top Of
this she pours some boiling water, let.
ting the bottle stand where 1t will keep
hot. BY night it is filed with a milky
substance that is cry soothing to the
skin. 1t is used by pianists and paint
ers and people who must be deft with
the hands.
If after cooking she finds that her
face Is red she goes ove 1t carefully
with a piece Of chamois. Then she fans
herself to cool the skin, and then she
dusts some powder on her face, taking
care that the powder Is the shade Of
her complexion.
If the skin is carefully gone over with
the channels skin and If the powder
matches the complexion the girl bach
elor will appear at her w table with
a c~ountenance as well Rroomed as any
body's.

WOMEN SHOULD NOT
NEGLECT THEIR FEET
Rub With Cocoa Butter Of
Alcohol Is Excellent-Keep
the Feet Warm.

There Is no more common n per-
sistent neglect than that which the
great majority Of men Inc women give
to the feet. No other part Of the body,
says Health. suffers so much abuse and
distortion with perhaps the exception
of h waists OF grown women The
feet are susceptible to all sorts or de-
formities and the subject OF all sorts
OF neglect.
Many people do not battle them suffi-
GENTLY often. do not change their
stockings with sufficient frequency, and
do not care for them in other ways as
they should.
The soldier who cares for his feet Is
the one who holds out on the march,
and many foreign armies have doc
tors who see that the men care for
their feet. The dead skin which hard
ems and produces callous spots needs
to be removed twice a day IL the feet
perspire freely.
To rub the feet with alcohol re-
freshes them wonderfully, n nothing
is As good for them. as a vigorous alco-
hoI rub after they have been wet or
chilled.
A rub with cocoa butter is a fine
tbing for the feet at all times. Get a
cake of this and give them a five min
ute rub at least once a week after the
daily bath, and you will a v yourself
many a groan.
we should wear rubbers whenever
we need them, and take them OF as
soon as we can. The feet must be kept
warm and dry.
A. famous physician is reported as
saying that his income would dwindle
to half IL women kept their feet warm
And it may be added that a woman's
chance of being q comfortable soul and
q jolly person to have around would
be improved considerably II h would
wear the right kind of shoes, care fol
them and her feet properly, and try tc
have everybody else do the same.

Beware the Comma.
.om the Chicago Eyening Pos..

From the Chicago Evening Post.
Are you a reckless user Of commas?
II so, beware; for the lowly punctuation
mark, for all its dropping. humble aspect,
has vast possibilities of mischief and Is
addicted to twisting sentences into a
mockery of the writer's ideas.
The commas field of greatest activity
Is the law. In the history Of Illinoi at
least one statute has been ~overthrown be-
cause the printer, or the proofreader; or
some shrewd politician slipped in a comma
where none was intended, and so ruined
the whole statute. Nor is this state alone
in its experience with the diminutive pune
tuation marks mischief making proclivi-
ties. No less dignifed a statute than a
tariff law has e made the sport OF
this innocent appearing mark. The law
in question contained a clause Intended
to read "fruit-plants. etc." but the printer
substituted a comma for the hyphen, and
thereby placed fruit or the free list.
The whole asphalt imbroglio may be said
to rest upon a punctuation mark a deci-
NAL point this time. When, way back
In 1888, the first asphalt concession was
made, the surveyors report described the
asphalt deposits as $50 instead OF 1.S0 me-
tiers above the sea, and this mistake sup
piled the Venezuelan courts with an ex-
cuse for revoking the concession.
Clearly, 1t behooves the wisest among
us to keep a watchful eye on the comma
and it's relatives OF the punctuation fam
fly. When in doubt use a p~eriod-and
stop.

EVERYWHERE THE DOT.

Dots and dots and still more dots are
not only printed upon dress silks, rib
bons, p~arasols, hosiery and handker-
chiefs, but, embroidered In varying
sizes and tasteful groups, they decorate
whole blouses and, sometimes, entire
costumes.
In combination with a scalloped edge,
they form charming %flounces. Some of
the prettiest hand-embroidered collars
show designs composed merely of dots
or of dots alternating with eyelets.
The charm Of hand-wrought decora-
ton this aso depends more upon
clever arrangements Of simple motifs
han upon elaborate designs.

Troy weekly news. (Troy, Idaho) 1897-1933, 1908-12-25
TROY is DRY.

The rnuch-talked OF event has actual
ly happened. Troy is now without a
saloon. The last one closed its doors
Monday night and we are now dry.
Now comes the test. There is the law to
be enforced, and the statement proven
that Troy is not dependent upon the sa-
loon for prosperity of this community,
and believes the town will get along bet
ter without the saloon. But will il?
That is the qdestion that began apracti-
cal test Monday night. We believe men
who have spent their earnings over the
bar will now spend morr with the mer-
chant. At least these fellows will have
more than they or their families can
spend with the merchant, and if they
have money their families will get more
than they have had. The case has
worked out this way in other places and
will certainly work out this way here.
And then comes the moral side. There
are our boys and girl, of vastly more
concern than mere business, and no one
will pretend that the saloon is good
thing for Il e boys. And the girls7 Look
about. Girls grow up and get married.
If the husband drinks, if he spends time
and money in the saloon, does it concern
our girls, some of whom will be unfor-
tunate enough to marry drinking men
And, after all, the moral question is the
real question. If the saloon strikes at
your family, if it ruins your boy, or
brings disgrace and sorrow to your girl,
you will understand the question in its
proper light Think Of it, If not your
boy or girl have some concern for the
boy or girl of your neighbor. 1t is for
reasons of this kind that has made men
and women fight the saloon, and has
sent mighty protest rolling over the
land. The saloon is forever doomed.
Rum has had its day. The work now
started will sweep on and on, and after
awhile the government, the biggest
booze dealer on earth, will be forced to
go out of the business.

Spread the Word.

The Potlatch country has never been
advertised. 1t has never been boosted
or doomed, and it has never advanced as
1t ought to. Now the time has come
when we need population. We need
more people, and smaller farms. With
the development of the country tribu.
tary, with the rapid growth of Spokane,
and with the development of the coun.
try tributary, with the development Of
not only our own timber but the timber
up the Clearwater, and the rapid growth
OF Lewiston. all Of which will mean in
creased demands for home products
from our farms, there ought to be steady
and rapid increase in farm values. We
ought TO send the good news to the
people Of the east, inviting them to 10.

TRY 1T ON HEPBURN.

The republican party of Idaho is under
no obligation to re elect Senator Hey
burn. He broke his end Of the bargain and
laid down the doctrine that convention
pledge is 1T binding. The News a ways
supposed a pledge was something to be
carried out, but with man who refuses
to accept this doctrine of binding party
promises and platform pledges, and who
openly denounces the doctrine, there is
certainly no reason to complain if the
promise to ie-elect him is ignored. II
a direct primary pledge is not binding,
then neither is a promise to re-elect
Hepburn binding. And the News hopes
the legislature will see fit to take Hey
burn at his word. Why not apply Hey
burns doctrine to Hepburn.
