A DISGUSTING HABIT
An Affront to OCivilizati0n and
of no Good Effect.

"And when thou are spoiled what vii
thou do? Though thou clothest thysel
with crimson, though thou deckest the
with ornaments of gold, though tho,
.endest thy face with painting, in val.
shalt thou make thyself fair; thy lover
will despise thee -Jer. Ago.
Not a day passes that some
woman cannot be seen on the
street painted like a primeval
savage decked in gaudy trap.
pings that show execrable taste
attracting attention from every
discerning person she passes, in
seeming ignorance that she is
the object, not Of admiration, but
of supreme disgust.
The habit Of painting the face
is a direct affront to civilization.
1t was handed down from the
barbarian whose full dress con-
sists of a few daubs of ochre and
q loin cloth. The woman who
paints is a savage. She cannot
be civilized, because the civilized
woman knows that God can make
q better face than a drug clerk.
The habit of painting the face
among so-called civilized women
is incomprehensible. Philoso-
pliers have attempted to explain
it by the theory of .admirationfor
men. It is said that it is an ef-
fort of the sex to secure the ad-
wiration Of men with final
view to matrimony. If this is
the object the effect is certainly
the opposite Of the intent. "ln
vain shalt thou make .thyselfj
fair, thy lovers will despise thee.
Uncle jeremiah evidently
knew what he was talking about
when he rallied against face
painting. He encountered a few
specimens on the street and so
far from being attracted by them
he was repulsed. The crimson
clothes, the gold ornaments, the
painted face, none appeal to him
so much as the sweet face of wo-
man as God finished it. Being
an outspoken writer, Uncle Jer-
ry set down his candid thoughts
that she who paints can read.
There Is not a man on earth
who knows enough to feel a
thrill in the presence Of a sweet
woman who is not utterly dis
gusted with the woman who
paints. Moreover, he has no
particular respect for her, be-
cause the paint she adorns her
self with is but an advertisement
that she belongs to the half
world and is so impudent and
brazen that she does not care
who knows it. e. |
Girls, whatever you do, do not
paint your faces. Truly, "Thy |
lovers will despise thee" They
ought to despise thee. No man
worth having but condemns the
use of paint. If you desire red
cheeks help your mother do the
housework and take a little exer-
else in the open air. Good
health is the best face paint in
the world and no druggist deals
in good health.-Ex.

Husbands are the natural pro-
duct of most civilized countries.
They are plentiful in most of
the United States of America,
being scarcest in Utah and Mas
sachusetts, where each lady owns
but fraction of a husband or
none at all. Those owning no
more than morbid interest In
husband are called old maids.
Although the best husbands
in this country are acknowledged
by experts to be indigenous to
the sol! those commanding the
highest market prices are the
imported varieties, because of
their expensive labels. The
Crown brand brings the largest
figure. !.
The husband is a wary and
elusive animal, fleeing for safety
at the first noise like a skirt to
his lair in clubs, offices and 9TH
er remote caves of his habitat;
but he may be cajoled forth by |
an appearance of Indifference
on the part of the trapper as his
curiosity can always be aroused
by the strange creature who
could remain immune to his
charms; after which he may be

Since the wife is SO constituted
