BEAUTY 8 49,

Cornmeal, perfumed with orris root,
sprinkled through the hair and
brushed out, makes a good dry sham
poo.
In the absence of hot-water bottle
or bag hot plate wrapped in paper
and soft towel will retain heat until
the proper articles can be procured.
1t is stated by an enthusiast of
fencing as sport for women that
there is no exercise which so well
develops the figure. 1t invariably gives
grace to movement.
A camphorated bath Is refreshing
after a days work and is not expen-
sive, says writer. After your regular
tub bath take basin of cold water,
drop enough of the mixture in the wa
ter to make 1t look milky and then
sponge the body. 1t only takes few
moments and you will feel repaid for
the trouble.
A woman who knows all the ms and
outs of the well-dressed world tells
how to scent gloves. Pour perfumery
in the palms of the hand or rub oil of
flowers on the palms and place the
gloves on the hand for several min
utes until the odor penetrates then,
The warmth Of the hand drives the oils
into the glove and good perfume will
remain for many months.

On Mr. Cooks motion a vote of
thanks was extended Messrs. Seaman
and Bixler and Congressman Bowers
for their work.
Secretary Bixler then addressed the
meeting on the subject of taking some
definite steps toward the advertising
of South Mississippi's agricultural r.
ources to the world. He outlined his
plan of getting out a special Home
seekers Edition of the Hattiesburg
News, 10000 to 10000 copies, to be dis

where they would do the most good
President Jackson thought some

this territory settled an absolute ne

TO BE A SEASON OF RIBBON
Especially Rich Are the Products of
the Loom Shown on Shop
Counters.

Ribbons need but the merest added
touch of elegance each season to push
them into unusual prominence. They
are always tempting to the woman
shopper, and this seasons output, de-
signed especially for fancy work, is
more than usually rich. The fashion
for brocade has touched the silk sur
face of many beautifully tinted rib
bons and left them literally sprinkled
with flowers, leaves and sprays.
Heavy ottoman corded ribbons are
printed with flowers upon their white
and delicately colored backgrounds.
Heavy satin ribbons are now turned
and twisted by the deft-fingered into
roses for hats and corsage bouquets.
Smaller rosebuds are made of the mar
rowers widths for festoons and
wreaths for evening dresses; an imi-
tation of grandma's party frock.
Sashes for young girls are cleverly
made Of two long strips of five or six
inch pompadour ribbon sewn together,
with an insert of dainty lace between
the two.
The idea is repeated in an apron
made of several widths of ribbon join
ed with wider lace, and in various
party bags of Dresden design, with
inserts of gauze ribbon between the
wider material.
These little gauze ribbons echo the
color of the flowers in the Dresden
pattern.

Mr.. HiqhtoWers Ideas.

Mr.. T. A. Hightower suggested, as Il
solution of the matter, that a develop
ment company be formed to improve
some parts Of the cut-over lands. II n
man could come in and have place
to live and could be self-slstairing
from the outset, the South Missls-
sippi lands soon would be settled. In
ten years or less this country would
have more things than all it's timber
ever was worth or will ever be worth.
He spoke from practical experience,
and almost anything can be grown
probably on South Mississippi lands.
Mr.. Hearn, of the Mississippi Central
railroad, said what Hattiesburg needs
now is to get the cut-over lands settled
and to get new manufacturing indus
tries into the city. Hattiesbury Is

fornta1.y in the way of competition. He
ordorsed the Homeseekers' Edition
proposed by Mr.. Bixler. Mr.. Hightow-
Iers plan was all right except that i'm
proving lands raised the price of sur.
rounding lands too high. All hinged on
properly advertising this territory.

HIS JEST ON ROYALTY.

i1ven royalty was no protection
from Foote, the famous playwright ;
for when the duke of Cumberland
(the foolish duke, as he was called)
came into the greenroom of the Hay
market one night, and pleasantly
remarked: well, Foote, here l am.
ready as usual to swallow your good
things" the irreverent wit retorted,
Upon my soul, your royal highness
must have most excellent digestion,
for | never hear that you bring any
up again."

Sleeves and Trimmings,

All sleeves are long, but those Of
at-home dresses are made in so many
tiers, and composed of such different
materials, that they convey the idea
of short sleeve. Usually there is a
short cap portion followed by bands
and ending in a mitt sleeve that prac-
tically wells the hand. The newest
dress fastenings (and these are CORE
spondingly placed down long sleeve)
are formed of double row of close
ly grouped buttons, linked together.
They necessitate many buttonholes,
but the result on a severely tailored
silk or cloth dress will be found very

The day of the coat is at hand, and
glorious day it will be to the keenly
observant and to the sensitive souls
who have been panied eyewitnesses
to the much-abused moyen-age gown.

NNL'S
Eczema Lotion

An uncalled for feeling of delicacy
keeps many people, especially women,
from asking for cure for Eczema.
No one should be ashamed because he
or she is afflicted with this most
common of all skin diseases. Indeed,
very few persons go Through life
without suffering at one time or an
other from Eczema.
Eczema may be caused either by
external irritation or by disorders of
the internal organs. 1t can be brought
about by washing clothes or by wash
ing dishes, or baking-by any work
that subjects the hands to exposure to
soapy water or intense heat. The
longer it runs, the harder it is to
cure.
Relief from the torturing itching
is noticed soon after the first appli-
cation of Nyal's Eczema Lotion, and
the most stubborn cases will disap-
pear if this sterling remedy is used
persistently and faithfully. Price, so
cents and $1.O0.
Remember, our store is your store
we aim to please you.

A Big Lob on Hand.

From no quarter in New York has
come any definite informa ton that the
gas companies contemplate immediate
opposition to the decision of the United
States supreme court, which holds the
S0-cent law constitutional, therefore it
was accepted generally that the $4,000
600 deposited with the companies by
United States Commissioner Shields III
the last two years will be distributed
among consumers as soon as the clerical
machinery for such distribution can be
established. On all hands it was admitted
that the. task of strengthening out the
100000 accounts of individual consum-
ers, giving to each his proper share of
the rebate fund, was one that would
require considerable time, and in the
end ii is believed that a very large frac-
ton of the 100000 will remain un-
claimed. What is to be done with that
is one of the several questions still to
be decided, probably in the courts. Dur
ing the litigation Judge Alton B. Par
ker stated that probably not more than
One-half of all the consumers would ever
present claims. Commissioner Shields
said the payment of the 100000
would begin as soon as the official man
date was given by the court. That, he
said, would be within a month.

WHAT Ais OUR FARMS?
Chiefly, Say the Experts, the Greed OF
the Farmers

Chiefly, Say the Experts, the creed o.
the Farmers.
In the closing decade of the last cen
fury the land values Of Ohio shrank
$GOO0O,OC0. In Minnesota, the great
wheat state. the average yield an acre
has dropped one bushel in the last i've
years. In Kansas the retrOgression IS
even more marked.
The census report gives the average
annual product an acre Of all the farms
IL the United States rs worth Sll.oS
| This figure, poor as it is, must owe u
great deal to the newly opened terri
tories, for the great agricultural states
Of Minnesota and Illinois fell consider
ably below it.
With the most fertile land in the
world, says the Craftsman, we are pro
ducing much less than other peoples eX-
tract from lands Of poorer quality and
longer subsection to filth During the
ten years ending with 1906 we raised
thirteen and fye-tentLs bushels OF wheat
10 the acre. In Austria and Hungary
the average was seventeen bushels; IN
! France it was nineteen and eight-tenths
in Germany, twenty-seven and six
tenths; and in the United Kingdom,
thirty-two and two-tenths bushels. The
figures for barley, oats and other crops
show the same contrast.
As an illustration of what can be done
here under intensive farming, it may be
stated that in Yellowstone county, Mon
tana, the following yields an acre have
been secured: Wheat, 90 bushels, oats,
163 bushels, and potatoes, 1913 bushels,
while 1920 tons of alfalfa have been
grown on 200 acres.
The impoverishment of cur lands has
been brought about IN the main by sin
gle cropping and the neglect of fertiliza-
ton. Almost everywhere in the country
it has been the practice of our farmers
to select the crop which promised the
| best immediate return and to plant their
fields in it year after year without rest
or change, and in spite of the protests
of scientists and the demonstrations of
agricultural colleges and experiment sta
tons.
Whereas arabic land should under
proper treatment grow richer and more
bOuntiful year by year, our agricultural
acres are deteriorahngs SO fast that the
owner derives from them an annual in
come equal to no more than what would
be a moderate rental if they were in
ordinary condition and properly cult
waited,

WHY NOT OWN LANDr
One of the Best Ways to Make
Money Is TO Invest in Western
Tn

One of the Best Ways to Make
Money Is 10 Invest in Western
Canada.
Deep down in the nature Of every
properly constituted man is the desire
to own some land" writer in the
Iowa State Register thus tersely ex-
presses a well-known truth. The ques-
ton Is, Where is the best land to be
had at the lowest prices? and this the
same writer points out in the same
article. The fact is not disguised that
the writer has personal interest in
the statement of his case, and there is
no hidden meaning when he refers to
Western Canada as presenting greater
possibilities than any other part of the
American Continent to the man who
is inclined to till the soil for a liyeli-
hood and possible competence. What
interests one are the arguments adj
vanced by this writer, and when fair
ly analysed the conclusion is reached
that no matter what personal interest
the writer may have had his reasons
appear to have the quality Of great
sOundness. The climatic conditions Of
Western Canada are fully as good as
those of Minnesota. the Dakotas or
Iowa, the productiveness of the soil is
as great, the social conditions are on
parity, the laws are as well estab
liShed and as carefully observed. In
addition to these the price of land is
much less, easier to secure. So, with
o1 oh 11rost
the offer of Western Canada-be en-
| braced? The hundreds of thousands
| Of settlers now there, whose homes
were originally in the United States,
| appear to be-are satisfied Once in
a while complaints are heard, but the
| Canadians have never spoken of the
! country as an Eldorado, no matter
what they may have thought. The
writer happened to have at hand a
| few letters, written by former residents
! of the United States, from which one
! or two extracts are submitted. These
| go to prove that the writer in the Reg
| lister has a good basis of fact in sup
! port of his statements regarding the
! eXcellency of the grain growing area
| of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alber-
! ia. On the 29th Of April of this year
w. r. Conley. Of Lougheed, Alberta,
wrote to a friend in Detroit. He says:
The weather has been just fine ever
| since l came here in March, and l be-
! lfeve one could find if he wanted to,
| some small punches Of snow around the
! edge of the lake. There is d frost
| nearly every morning; at sunrise it be-
| gins to fade away, then those blue
| flowers open and look as fresh as if
| there had been no frost for a week.
There is no reason why this
! country should not become a garden
| of Eden; the wealth is in the ground
and only needs a little encoura cement
from the government to induce capital
in here. There is everything here to
build with-good clay for brick. coal
underneath, plenty Of water in the
spring lakes. and good springs coming
