LEMON GOOD FOR COMPLEXION

Facial messages and the use of a

Stir the circulation and bring the blood
to the surface. Drink plenty Of pure
water. Drink at least eight large
tumhlerfuls a day, preferably on arts
ing, between meals. and before retiring.
You will find that the juice of a lemon
squeezed into a tumbler of water and
taken occasionally, the last thing al
night or first thing in tine morning,
has a wonderful effect upon the com
p~lexion. After taking the lemon always
clean the teeth, as the acid quickly pro

"A picture recently published in Mum
ich shows hat the peculiar vanity
which manifests itself in a desire to
be photographed often kills the sense
of d%ecency," says a writer in a Berlin
paper. The picture shows five uni
formed men standing on the smoking
ruins of a building. In front of them.
propped up against the debris, are
eight mutilated corpses. Under the
picture is this legend: The Indian coast
has been infested for hundreds by
Malaga pirates. Recently a body OF
Europeans, conducted by natives, pur-
sued and captured one of these robber
bands. whom they bound and cast into
q pagoda. which they then blew up
with DYNAMITE The men who posed
for a picture, in which they seemed to
gloat over the deed, the fruit of which
forms the grewsome foreground, were
all Europeans.

EXERCISE THE BEST
WAY TO REDUCE HIPS

Here is an exercise which. il
persisted in, reduces the hips
rapidly. You should lie extend
ed upon the floor supporting
yourself with one hand while the
other is placed upon the hip.
While holding this position raise
the body gradually from the floor
until the whole weight is sup
ported by the hand and feet. It
is comparatively easy to get the
body from the floor as far as
the knees. but to bring 1t up to
the full extent is not easy at
first. It should be tried first on
one side and then on the other.
When beginning this exercise
you should be careful to get
used to 1t gradually, as 1t puts
a great strain upon the muscles
n IS liable 70 make you as
lame as q first horseback ride.

NJ. Firmin Roz. in the Revue des Deux
MondeS
The Puritans of Yorkshire disembarked
on a land that offered them nothing, but
promised everything. 1t invited to labor:
and the pioneer had only to advance in
order to conquer. Property spread out be-
fore him., unbounded, free, and offered to
his simple effort. And the development OF
industry, the progress of steam and cleo
tricity, and the discovery Of mines re-
Sulleu III d leIiOlu expansion OIL energy,
initiative, and daring. An unexpected
world awaited the hand and mind of man;
and man responded to this appeal.
There was no burdensome legacy from
the past to hamper the free hands of the
workers; their effort turned spontaneous
ly toward the future. Action was concen-
trated toward a single end-the production
of wealth. This was a primordial condi-
ton of life before it became an ambition.
Whereas other peoples have expended
their energies in safeguarding their from
tiers from enemies or rivals and in real
izing their dreams of military glory, the
colonists of New England and the citizens
of the young republic devoted themselves
to economic development and to the most
intense labor. The latter characteristic
continues to the present time. 1t stamps
each individual with its imprint, and thus
reduces to uniformity the continually in
creasing diversity of races and peoples
thrown by immigration on the shores OF
the western hemisphere.
Physical energy of effort dominates the
entire psychology of the American.
Pioneers, trappers of the North, cow
boys of western %solitudes, seekers for
gold, soldiers of fortune-all subsist by
this force of energy. This initial necessity
has never changed. One finds it even
among the kings of industry of railroads
and Of finance.

2S0 STUDENTS
in AGRICULTURE
MANY "FARMER ENROLLED Al
THE FAIRMoNT STATE NOR.
NAL SCHOOL.

Agriculture seems to be the lead
ing subject at the Fairmont State Nor
NAL School and now ESQ students are
enrolled in this one study. A large
percentage of these $50 agricultural
students are teachers preparing for
the Uniform examinations, which Sub
ject they will be tested on after this
year in these examinations. It is also
used as credit aud several Normal
students are taking 1t for this pur.
pose. The text book used is of an
elementary nature adopted to about
the seventh and eighth grade pupils.
this is ampIified by lectures and notes
on outside material of g more i'd
yanced nature. The object is to put
into the hands of the students such
subject matter as they can use in
their own work. Special effort is
made to clarity sucn points relating
to Agricultural Chemistry as is need.
ed for an understanding OF soil com.
position, fertilizers, treatment OF
plant diseases snd other things of
this nature. Demonstration and TX.
perinental work is carried on before
the classes. Special emphasis is laid
upon the value of experiments both to-
the sake OF the increased interest
IT arouses and its necessity in order
to make clear the subject matter.
The students for most part are man
tfeSting great interest in the work and
express themselves well pleased in
this topic.
In general way the tendency is
thrown upon farm life greater at.
traction and to give the students
higher ideals of the country.
1t is to be hoped that the students
who go out to teach this important
subject will do it enthusiastically,
mah!ng an effort to inspire the stu.
dents of the rural communities with
a desire TO remain on the farm show.
ing them that there is opportunity
there for the culture and refined liv
ing scarcely to be equaled in the city.
This same work will be duplicated
for the teachers who come in for the
summer term by DR.. Adams who hes
given special attention to the subject.
In addition it ought to be said that
a good many people will look upon
this subject of the modern school as
a fad Of course fad is the word always
used to slap in the face any step for
ward in any line, but that aside there
are two good reasons for thinking
1t has come to stay; first in the old
countries, especially France and Ger
many, agricultural and practical school
gardening has been carried on.
Years ago France passed a law
stating. no ground would be accepted
by the State for public school pur%
poses. which was not large enough to
provide an opportunity to train the
children in raising vegetables and so
give them an the advantages together
with the economic value OF this school
process.
Whether this has been profitable or
not. or whether It has been tad or
not, is really no more a question in
the minds Of the German and French
people of those countries than the be-
lief in arithmetic with us. The re.
suits show on every hand In an acre.
age and an income in plots Of ground
which In this country would be almost
barren.
We sometimes pride ourselves on
being q practical people in compari.
