It eased her burden and changed her train of thought to pleasanter things.

WRINKLES LOOK BAD
 UNDER NEW FALL HAT

Just let a woman begin to try on the new hats and she will examine her face as never before and bewail the wrin- kles that she has hitherto overlooked. says The Philadelphia Evening Teie. graph.
 woman who would avoid wrinkles:
 Don't speak with all the muscles of the face in play. It is very charming and captivating to be deeply. deadly in earnest, but facial grimaces form creases which in time become fixed.
 Don't worry; but If worry you must, keep the forehead smooth and don't frowp.
 Don't wear tight shoes; they make a young face look drawn and wrinkled in a few hours.
 Don't neglect the ten minutes rest during the day, with the feet raised. IL gives the whole body a great sense or repose and works wonders in smooth. ing out the lines of the face. '..
 Don't let insomnia get the upper hand. By all means in your power. try to break up the habit. Sleeple sSness Is sometimes caused by unconscious hun ger and a cup of hot water or biscuit will often induce sleep.
 Don't go too long without food. Hun- ger gives a strained look to the face- Now and then. if one is fatigued. bite between meals will invigorate the whole system and give repose and re- taxation to strained muscles and nerves.
 Don't sit facing a strong light.
 Don't stoop or bend over while road ing or writing.
 Don't scowl.
 Don't use violence in smoothing out lines on the face, for 1t will not stand pounding. The manipulation must be gentle and even, or the skin will be- come very coarse and leathery.
 Don't rub the lines the wrong way, or they will become more, instead of less. prominent Rub across the wrinkles with a rotary motion.
 Don't loosen the skin from the un- deriving tissues nor stretch 1t.
 Don't forget that occasionally during

 Don't be anxious or disheartened oi impatient. These passions make ugly lines on the face.

PREPARING FOR THE BATTLE
State Counsel Organizing Forces
 to Fight Railroads.
Six Months Expected to Elapse Before Is- sues Will be Brought to the
 Courts.

Little Rock, Feb. 6.-Special.- Chief Counsel Joseph M. Hill, who is leading the states fight against the inscreased freight and passen- ger rates of the railroads, has al ready opened his office in room adjoining the Arkansas railroad commission, and is as relentless a worker in his new duties as he was when chief justice of the supreme court. He sits in front of an old fashioned desk, formerly the prop erty of Mont Sandels and then Lee Sandels, two of Arkansas most brilliant attorneys, and digs away.
 Assistants Kirby and Harrod are in almost constant communication with their chief, and many of the most prominent shippers of the state are daily callers. The attor- neys are now taking post gradu- ate course in railroad rates, famil iarizing themselves with the rates on all commodities for many years back. They will also go eXten- sively into the cost of railroad equipment, the cost of moving freight, the cost of maintenance and construction.
 Il will probably take the attor- neys six months to get prepared for the aggressive moves they in tend to make, bringing the issues with the railroads to a crisis in a hearing of the injunction as to whether or not it is to be perma- nent. The attorneys do not make any forecast as to the time the case will be through the local federal court, but from remarks made by them it is plain they expect year to pass before the case goes to the higher courts. The case is certain to go to the higher courts, no mat ter which side wins before Judge Trieber.

NEITHER HOUSE
 IS IN SESSION

Little Rock, Feb. 6.-Special.- The least estimate given by any member of the legislature as to the probable length of the session of the general assembly is I2o days while a great many of the legisla- tors are openly favoring a session which will last until the first day of June. This plan is not popular with the voters, however, and with the present shortage in the state s finances, it is expected the mem bers who propose session of such length will hear from home on the question to such an extent as to change their vote when the time comes.
 All afternoon the house was ar guing on amendments to the initi- ative and referendum. The senate had no session nor will there be one until Monday. An amend ment was made to raise the per centage of signers of a petition for the imitation Of leglSlatlon rom 5 to 10, and from 8 to IS on refer- ring legislation to the people. Till man Parks talked for over an hour against the amendment. A. C. Martin took up the argument in favor of the amendment when the house seemed overwhelmingly the other way. When he completed a very forcible argument the vote stood 50 to 37 against the amend ment. The recall was then taken up and after lengthy discussion, it was defeated overwhelmingly. The house then adjourned until Monday, taking full Saturday off for the first time since the leg islature convened.
