As soon as it became know that Taft
was elected, busir.e ess began to revive,
and after his Cincinnati speech the bus
mess of the country was accelerated by
leaps and bounds. Money that went in
to hiding pending the election came out
and the circulating medium found its
way into the channels of trade. 1t has
always paid the country to elect repub-
lican presidents and this last is no ex-
ception TO the rule.

Characteristic letter anent Judge Taft S
religious beliefs, and among other things
the president says: ITO discriminate
against a thoroughly upright citizen be-
cause he belongs to some particular

ayowed his allegiance to any church is
an outrage against that liberty Of con
science which is one Of the foundations
Of American liberty" The letter is well
worth reading and the sentiments con
tanned should be approved by every

II is often asked, "what good have
the women of Colorado done by their
ballots at elections? Things ARE just
as bad as they We're when men alone
voted" Are they! What about our
child labor law, which is one of the best
in United States? Women worked
bard to get this and other good laws
passed in Colorado? How many more
men than women in Colorado that vote?
Answer, 80, 900. Considering the odds
against them our women have accom-
plished wonders.

Mr.. Rowland gave scholarly plea for
the development OF the body in our
secondary schools, fortifying his position
with statistics which showed how small
proportion of those who entered the
public schools ever reached the high
school and academies and even the col
leges where physical culture was often
part of the curriculum. He also urged
that manual training be made part of
the public school course that the many
who were obliged to drop out before they
reached the top might be better equipped
for their life work In closing MIR. How
land spoke of the splendid work the
Women's Clubs of the country were
doing along various lines and hoped by
their united effort more attention might
be given in our public schools to the
training of the body and the hands
Following his excellent address the
club chorus gave another selection,
'Shoogi- -Shoo." The chorus showed the
effect of the good work done during the
past few months, both selections being
most excellently and pleasingly rendered.

Tt is astonishing" remarked well known authority on Diseases of the skin, how such a large number of peo- pie, especially ladies, are by attractive. ly written advertisements, induced to purchase some of the many so called Beauty Creams now on the market, not knowing of course that they most ly contain oly or greasy substances that clog the pores of the skin and are for that reason the very worst things that they could possibly use. My treat ment of Pimples, Blackheads, Blotch- es and all eruptions of the skin, are as follows and has invariably proved very successful. Wash the face carefully every night before retiring with warm water and little oatmeal tied up in a small cloth bag, then after drying well. use the following inexpensive and perfectly harmless prescription which can be filled at any Drug Store. Clearola 4oz. Ether oz. Alcohol ozs. Use this mixture on the face as often as possible during the day, but use night and morning. anyway, allow ing it to remain on the face at least ten minutes, then the powdery film may be wiped off. Do not wash the face for some little time after using. By following this simple treament, you will soon have a clear and Brilliant CompleyiOn.

RECEPTION TO MIR AND MRS A.
 D. WOODRUFF.
 On Friday evening the Washington club gave MT and Mrs A. D. Woodruff a very large reception, the occasion being their 25th wedding anniversary. Strings of Japanese lanterns twlnkling among the shrubbery guided the guests to the spacious doorway, where they were hospitably welcomed by the recep- tion committee. One corner of the large room had been tastefuily deco rated with trim white birches, tall grasses and large bouquets of exquisite pink and white asters. When all the guests had assembled Mir and Mrs Woodruff. preceded by the ushers and attended by their small son and daugh- ter, walked through beribboned path way to the strains of Lohengrin's we'd ding march and paused under the silver bell among the greenery which an- nounced the pair bride and groom. Mrs Woodruff was becomingly gowned in silvery gray silk. MT Woodruff's ac- companist, Mrs Waudling. presided at the piano, having made the trip from New York especially for the occasion. After congratulations had been re- ceived and greetings exchanged R. s. Barnes with a few well chosen words presented Mir and Mrs Woodruff with a paper box carefully tied with white ribDon. MT Barnes expressed his be- lief that man who founds orchestras and trains singing societies is indeed benefactor of mankind. He announced that the whole community, year round residents, summer sojourners and pill grjms had joined in this gift of appre- citation for MT and Mrs Woodruff's work in behalf of the young people of Washington. He paid a special tri- bate to Mrs Woodruff's loyal support and inspiration to her husband in the social and friendly art of music. Mir Woodruff replied in his genial and hearty manner, thanking both friends and neighbors for their expressions of good will and for the gift which the box contained. He jovially declared that he should be glad to see all the good people of Washington at his 50th anniversary. Coffee. cake and fruit punch were served to the guests, but it was not until late hour and when only few intimate friends stood around him that MT Woodruff ven- tured to open the mysterious package. It contained covered glass bon-bon dish overlaid with silver filigree work. Inside deftly hidden in folds of tissue paper Mrs Woodruff discovered 25 sil- yer dollars and at the very bottom of the dish six $50 bills.
