KT o other country is so much like
~ fairyland as is Japan. With its
cherry blossoms, its sunshine, its
quaint buildings, the fantastic dress
and its love of festivals, 1t seems a
country made especially for the de-
light of children. AT the sound of the
candy mans drum the little city girls
forget their game of battledore and
shuttlecock, the boys tuck their tops
I'D their sleeves, and, penny In hand,
gather before the candy peddler's booth.
He has no peppermint or

blows 1t for you with his magical pipe,
A half a penny and the candy fish is
yours.
Then there is the travelling theatre
man, who lets the children peep INTO
his wonderful box and see the lively
scenes that he describes in his songs.
And there is the "ire-eating man" who
rolls flaming balls up and down his
arms and then tumbles them, still burn
ing, into his mouth and swallows them
while the children stand wide-eyed be-
fore him.
In his fairy-like land there are spe-
cial holidays for boys and girls.
Especially for little girls chere is the
exciting game of evil spirit one plays

Purely a FlirtatiOn.
Dear Margery Doom:
l am a girl 16 years of age. One day
last week my chum and myself were
riding on a trolley car and I dropped my
parasol, which a young nan picked up
and handed to me. We afterward be-
gan a conversation and when my friend
and | left the a he ACCOMPANIED us
and invited us to a nearby drug store,
where he treated us to ice cream sodas.
l have since been told ii was wrong to
speak to the young man or to let him
treat us. Will you please tell me what
you think about it?
UNSOPHISTICATED.
Certainly you did wrong to speak to
the mar or accept his attentions. You
had a right to thank him quietly and
graciously for recovering your parasol,
but 1t should have stopped there. I
would advise you not to continue the
acquaintance, unless you can be for
mally introduced.

For Sensitive Skins.

The woman with sensitive skin does
not love summer; the hot sun not only
plays havoc with her looks, but often
causes positive discomfort.
The person who burns or blisters can
not run chances with the suns rays; 1t
is too painful. When exposed to the sun
a should go yelled or wear a
broad brimmed hat.
For longer exposure, such as yacht
ing or automobile trips. shelve vanity
and rub cold cream over the face,
thickly powdered with taloum powder.
If you cannot stand a thick mask-like
paste. at least use a little cream and
a dash of powder; 1t will prevent bis
tering.
If you have acquired a bad case of
sunburn, battle the face with hot witch
hazel and keep applications on the face
all night.
Never wash the face in cold water
after being out in the sun. If possible
do not use water for several hour after
coming in; If you do, 1t should be as
TT as can be endured. Later rub in a
healing lotion OF some sort or car
bombed yaselinne.

Don't hold a book above or below the

Don't fail to remember when writing
that the light should fall over the left

would otherwise be cast by the hand or

Don't fail to remember that in read

I made that egg shampoo as you d.

Just like water. Will you kindly let
me know If that is the way 1t Is sup
posed to be? Would it hurt to use more
than two tablespoonfuls If that was
not sufficient to cleanse the scalp? Are
you supposed to part the hair first and
Their rub 1t in? ANXIOUS.
Evidently you did not use enough of
the soap. A good sized cake is required
to form any kind of a jelly. While it
need not be a solid mass it Is better IL
it Is more of the consistency Of cream.
Melt another cake of soap and add 1t
to the mixture, stirring vigorously to
prevent 1t forming in Jumps. If it Is
too thick whip up another egg and add
after the mixture has cooled.

Linen sideboard Covers.


Useful covers for table and sideboards
are of blue linen. hemstitched, and
edged with Irish peasant lace.
The linen may-in fact, must-be
coarse, and it is very inexpensive. Blue
does not soil easily. while the lace is all
that could be desired-made of linen
thread and quite inexpensive.
If the i've is intended for the side
board the lace and hemstitching need
be on only three sides; the selvage
serving for the side nearest the wall.
The hens of these covers should be
about two inches broad.
Covers in colors are particularly
adapted to seashore and country houses,
but covers of natural linen, edged with
white lace, are handsome enough to be
used anywhere.
The Irish peasant lace is a really
beautiful fabric, though it is too heavy
for any purpose save for household fur
nishing.

A Tennessee genius has invented a
Kitchen reminder that should carr him
the thanks of busy housewives. Like
many time-saving devices, it is simpler
thai the system it supplants. A card
or board is notched on two sides. and
opposite each month is written the
name of some household article or arti-
Gle of food, such as soap, starch, ugar,
eggs, etc. A series of strings or rubber
bands are then tied around the card,
loosely enough that they may be moved
into any notch desired. Instead of
writing out a daily list for tradesmen,
the housewife needs simply to attach
the string in the notiches indicating
the article required. The same results
can be obtained by having a bundle of
strings tied in a knot in the centre,
with their free ends long enough to be
fastened in the Sits on the edges of the
card.

GOVERNMENT EXPECTS
TO RECLAIM PERU LANDS

The governments active interest in
reclalming arid land in the west by ir-
rigaton is not a solitary or exception
al movement of tine world of today.
Similar work is going on in many
countries. Irrigation is as old as civil
izaton. hut just now ii Is receiving
more attention than ever before, and
many gigantic problems are being
worked out by the foremost engineers.
Peru is one of the latest TO turn it's
attention to developing waste land by
bringing water upon It from rivers
which have always gone Idly to the sea.
1t is true that irrigation in Peru has
been carried on since before the days
of Atahualpa, 400 years ago, but not
ON scale to be compared with what
is now contemplated
A report to this government by Mr.,
Charles NJ. Pepper, special agent at
Lima, says experts from the United
States geological survey and from the
reclamation service, have been in Peru
for some time, employed by that gov
eminent to investigate the possibilities
of irrigation. The reclamation of .
900 acres between the mountains
and the sea has been pronounced feast
BILE. The rivers are not large aud
the projects in Peru would not com
pare for size with some of the great
irrigation schemes in the United States.
But the marvellous fertility of the lana
In the South American republic, and
It's fine climate assure success In the
highest degree.

MATT CULLEN
BUYS THE REBEL
Old Beaver County Producer to
Be Revived by Veteran
Mining Man.
RICH IN SlLvER-lEAD ORES
May Get Power from Majestic Conn
Oany's Harrington n Hick-
DRY Plant.

II was learned from trustworthy
source today that Mathew Cullen Haa
concluded a deal whereby he becomes
the possessor Of the Rebel group OF
mining claims in the North star min
ing district in Beaver county Mr., CUl-
len hat been the owner OF an undivided
interest in the property for a good
many years and recently entered ne
gotiations to obtain the remaining onH-
half with the result stated.
The Rebel property IN the carly days
OF mining in Utah, was a producer OF
high grade siver-lead ore and the for
mer owners are said to have cleaned
UP anywhere from 100000 To $1,000, 09a.
In fact. the mine was generally regard
cd as being n bonanza well up in the
front ranks. But after working out the
rich pockets Of ore near the surface
the expense OF mining and transporta-
ton We're too great to Justify a con-
tinuance of activity and II was closed
down. in which condition IT has re-
NAMED practically ever since.
II Is the intention OF MIR Cullen TO
revive the proposition again shortly
and equip the mine for very vigorous
bdyelopment campaign. During the
recent visit of eastern officials OF the
Majestic Copper mines company the
announcement was made that power
equipment would be installed soon at
the Harrington & Hickory mine with
facilities to supply power 10 neighbor-
ing mines. II this proves to be the
case, there Is no doubt that the Rebel
mine will be an applicant for the ser-
vice However. If suitable arrange
ments cannot be made with the ma
jestic MIR. cullen is interested in enough
other mines in the district to justify
going ahead with the construction and
operation Of an independent power
plant
