m HERE is just one royal road to
beauty, and that is good health.
Il To try to model a beautiful fig
ure and pretty face out of an I'M
healthy body is impossible.
With the gradual Improvement In
health, freshness of complexion, a
smoothing out of wrinkled places,
sweetness of breath, improvement IN
contour, brightness of the eyes and
other evidences of real natural hand
someness come. Moreover, the woman,
be she young, middle-aged or old, is
in much better condition to enjoy the
rejuvenation of the faded beauty.
Girls who wish red cheeks would do
well to see that their feet are kept
warm and dry. Cold feet bring about
a red nose only.
If the cuticle around the nails seems
dry and stiff and there is tendency
to handnails rub in we'll little vase
line or cold cream every night before
going to bed.
When you have several fights Of
stairs to climb you can lessen the
WEAKNESS of 1t by holding the head
erect breathing deeply and regularly
and putting the ball of the foot firm
ly on each step.
In sleeping, keep the head as low as
possible that the blood may circulate
freely in the brain. The less pillows
the better.
Always stretch out your body fully.
When the limbs are crossed or curled
up in any way the rest is not so great.
A glass of warm water before break
fast is a tonic for the whole system. II
the complexion is in need OF improve
ment, try squeezing half lemon into
the water.
One athletic young woman INDUCES
frequently in what she calls her
homemade Turkish BATH" 1t is a
fact. as she says, that one cannot al
ways cleanse with only soap and water
and a comparatively smooth cloth. A
cold cream bath on the face Will prove
that. Therefore she takes small
scrub brush. of the sort sometimes sold
in drug stores for nail brishes, and,
first wetting the body with a sponge
and hot water, scrubs the whole sur
face of the skin with the brush and a
thick soap lather. This goes down into
the pores and cleanses them, carries
off more old skin and particles OF dust
and waste than cloth, and stimulates
the circulation. The soap is next thor
oughly rinsed off with hot water, and
a cold shower, and a brisk rub For
the not too vigorous person, slight
rest adds to the beneficial effect, but,
whether with or without the conclud-
inq nap, the treatment will be found
beth refreshing and invigorating.
There are times when one feels utter
ly weary, and yet knows not exactly
what to do for it. The body does not
seem to be tired, in such way that
living down is a relief and a pleasure.
One has not headache nor any par
ticular disability You lie down and
cannot keep still. You get up and
there is nothing worth doing All en-
thusiasm is gone. 1t is common feel
ing, and is due simply to WEAKNESS.
The best immediate cure is to lie down

An unusual and delightful program
was presented yesterday at the Friday
Morning club by pupils of the Adams
Heights school, who gave pleasing
play "Cross Purposes" arranged from
one of George MacDonalds fairy tales
DR.. Dorothea Moore, chairman of the
dramatic committee, recently witnessed
a presentation of the play in miniature
and was so charmed with the little
actors that she persuaded the teachers
to enlarge the production and present
it before the club.
Fairy Ring, Fairyland" and within
the Fairy Ring" were beautifully
staged and the acting reflected credit
upon the juvenile caste.
It is most encouraging to those who
have the success Of the long proposed
children's theater at heart that three
plays for and presented by children
should have held the attention of local
audiences within q week, the other two
being princess Patience" given at the
Mason for the Bronson house benefit,
and the Mystic Midgets," billed at the
Auditorium last night and this after
noon.
'The County Fair" which opened last
night under the auspices of the High
land Park Ebell, was one of the most
successful methods ever undertaken by
a local club to entertain, and as re-
suit to coax the elusive penny from
pockets and purses
The proceeds are to be applied by
Highland Park Ebell to building fund
for a new club house, and the response
by interested citizens was liberal. There
was an afternoon program, one feature
of which was a Maypole dance. An
old-fashioned supper of beans and
brown bread and pumpkin pie, ETC.,
such as some of us remember to have
eaten "back east" in our youth, was
served early in the evening, and hap
PLY arranged program of songs by the
Los Angeles Glee club and other enter
tainment followed.
The fair proper took place in booths
arranged in a circle around the campus
where the May pole held the place of
honor and in each a local dealer dis
played his wares attractively. There
was we'll pleased and jolly crowd in
attendance, and the wares offered for
sale netted the fund a goodly sum.

wooLLY ART

Frederick Remington, the illustrator,
fresh from a western trip on which he
had been making studies of Indians
and cowpunchers and things outdoors,
met an art editor who insisted upon
dragging him up to an exhibition of
very impressionistic pictures.
"You don't seem enthusiastic" re-
marked the editor as they were coming
out. Didn't you like them?"
Remington, remembering what he
had been told as a boy, counted ten be-
fore replying. Then:
Like 'em? Say! I've got two maiden
aunts in New Rochelle that can knit
better pictures than those!"-Every-
body's Magazine.

INTERESTING ROUTES To TRAVEL

Vanderbilts have become greatly in
terested in the reproduction of these
hand woven spreads, which gives the
people of the villages and mountain
hamlets adjacent to Biltmore not only
employment, but new interest in life.
The coverlets were made on hand
looms during the peaceful time in the
middle of the eighteenth century men
and women working together during
courtship, or, when duties permitted,
after marriage. Oddly enough, blue
and white were the only colors COM
bined, unless a little black appeared
in the design, to emphasize the unique
shapes of birds, or flowers and the
blue was deep shade of delft. Red
was hardly ever chosen, which seems
strange, as a taste for subdued colors
was not often shown by the early set

WOMAN GETS SALARY OF $4,000

Miss K. I. Harrison, the private sec
rotary of H. Fl. Rogers, the Standard
Oil magnate, is reported to receive a
salary of $4,000 a year. So completely
does she possess the confidence of her
employer that she directs all the cleri-
cal operations of his office, and when
he is out of town, which frequently oc-
ours, she transacts much of his bust
ness.
She has come to know all his bust
ness friends and social acquaintance
and all his conferences with them are
arranged through her by corre-
spondence after the nature of the bust
ness has been examined and passed
upon. With the assistance of force
of stenographers, clerks and office boys
Miss Harrison acts both as Official
buffer" and personal representative.

KITCHEN ADJUNCT

A useful article for the kitchen is a
small miscroscope. Show the cook how
to use it. She will be so Mortified if
once shown dates, prunes or figs that
are germ infested that she will take
special pains in washing them.
The microscope is also useful to ex-
anime cereals, cornmeal, bucSwheat
and other things, which unless kept
alright may be unpleasantly infected.
If part of every order that comes in
from the grocer is carefully examined
SO that if not in good condition it may
be returned at once, the loss will be his
and not the buyers.

A PILLOW FOR THE TRAVELLER

Brown suede leather is the covering
of very convenient pillow for the
weary or delicate traveller. This par
ticular small article appeals as the
most convenient of its kind. 1t is about
10x14 inches and is covered smoothly
on one side with suede leather and on
the other with an overlapping piece OF
fine suede. that forms a fiat pocket, into
which the handkerchief or time table
may be slipped.
There is a small leather handle along
the side of the pillow. so that in the
hand it looks almost like brown
suede bag.

QUAkERS GIVE
Big WELCOME
7 0 D R COOK
EXPLORERS TRIP THROUGH
STREETS OF PHILADELPHIA,
WHERE HE is TO LECTURE TO-
NIGHT, CONTINUED OVATION.

Philadelphia, Sept. 29.--.Dr. Cook,
the arctic explorer, came here today
for the purpose of delivering a lecture
tonight and received an enthusiastic
reception at the hands of a great
crowd that waited for him at the sta
tion. His ride to the hotel and UP to
the city hall, where he was officially
welcomed by Mayor Reyburn, was a
continuous ovation.
Whitney Believes Both.
st. Johns, N. F.. Sept 29.---Whit-
ney. in expressing the belief that
Cook found the pole and Peary did
the same, said he knew no reason for
doubling Cook more than Peary.
"Dr. Cooks story" he added
Seems truthful and probable. Nothing
else would explain his twelve months
absence"
Arriving yesterday on the schooner
Jeanne, Whitney said Cook left with
him at Annatok several cases contain.
Ing instruments and other belongings,
but SO far as Whitney knew, no re-
cords. though the records may have
been packed with Cooks effects.
Whitney declared he knew nothing
Of the present controversy beyond
the yaguest details. He denied that
Peary removed Cooks stores from An
natok to Etah. What Peary really did
was to transfer few things and re-
build house at Annatok.
Confirmed His Declarations.
New York, Sept. 29.-Cook said
last night that every thing Whitney
said about the incidents when they
were together at Annatok was sub
.stantially correct and Confirmed all
my declarations" Whitney probably
was unaware of the records being left
with him. They are not of MUCH con-
sequence. as have duplicates. The
whole story of my not going far north
is based on the reply gave Murphy,
when he asked me, Have you been
farther than 81 north" answered: ::
Yes, much farther north" but gave
Murphy no other information and
Whitney would not let Murphy know.
The Eskimos did the same"
Peary's Written Statement.
Bar Harbor, Sept. 29.-Peary's writ
ten statement supporting the conten-
tion that Cook did not reach the pole
is now completed.
AS soon as passed upon by the
Peary Arctic club it will be made pub
lie. 1t is intimated that Peary has
other proofs which he considers un-
necessary to publish now.
General Hubbard said last night:
II do not care to go on record as
saying Peary's statement will prove
that Cook did not reach the pole.
That Is for the public to Judge. l can
say Peary's statements are true.'

old SOLDIERS
AT T.PLE:ASANT
STORIES AND ADDRESSES MAKE
OCCASION A PLEASANT
REUNION.

Mt. Pleasant, SEPT. 29.--One Of the
pleasantest assemblies ever held IN
the city was that of last evening when
the fragment of the Fourth Iowa cav
airy met in a very informal gathering
in the courtroom and recalled happen
ings yet vivid in the recollection of
those who risked their lives that the
union might be preserved. Some of
the incidents were pleasant to remem-
Der, while others brought back sad
recollections, for many whose names
were mentioned have been called 10
answer the last roll call on earth and
their faces are missed by their com
rades.
G. H. Smith of Aurora, ILL.,, was
chairman of the meeting, and informal
talks were given by several of the
boys, among whom were Col. Ben
Morgan OF Oskaloosa and Capt. Lot
Abraham of this city, who sang a few
of the old war songs and the Battle
Hymn of the Republic. The chairman
read letter from General Winslow,
who sent his regrets at not being able
to be present, with his greetings and
extolling for the service they rendered
their country in helping to preserve
the union.
A letter from w. F. Scott, regiment
al adjutant. was also read. Mr. Scott
is the historian of the organization Of
the 4th Iowa cavalry and sent his re-
grets at not being detained in New
York City by legal duties. He has
lately been in Georgia and has visited
many of the cemeteries where lies bur
led many Of his comrades, who were
killed on those memorable marches.
The Evening Session.
The greater part of the evening was
spent in a social way. shaking hands
and renewing acquaintances. 1t was
pleasant to indulge in the pleasures Of
those old gray-haired, war-scarred
boys and feel something Of the patriot
ism which animated their minds when
they went forth to conquer or to die.
Today will be spent in business
meetings, when officers will be elected
and resolutions will be passed.

WOULD GIVE UP
SEATS TO WOMAN
ST. LOUIS FORMS aPoLlTENEssy
LEAGUE TO WORK ON THE
STREET CARS.

st. Louis. Mo-. Sept EFF you are
a gentleman, willing to give UP your
seat to any woman standing in a
street car, you are entitled to wear an
A. r. Stafford True Blue button. Wear
ing this button, you are pledged to see
that women are seated before men.
Mr. Stafford believes if men do this
one week they may get SO into the
habit that they will keep it up. He has
lived in New York, Chicago and st.
Louis and he says of the three towns
st. Louis is the most polite, but he
believes there Is room for improve
ment here and elsewhere and urges
that his "blue button gentleman"
scheme be tried in every city.
Mr.. Stafford first broached his idea
in letter to ST. Louis paper. The
letter was headed, "Be Seated, Ladies'
and read:
While the committee thrash out
the details for our centennial week,
/ want the men and boys of st. Louis
to help me settle the politeness prob
lem permanently, SO that every moth
er's son Of US never will sit down in a
street car SO long as there is lady
standing. Can you tell me how on
earth we happened to get into our
present manners?
Come on, now; let's spruce up a
bit on our politeness to ladies in street
cars. Well know if we are improving
If we see small, plain blue cloth but
ton on your coat. Its color will indi-
cate its wearer is true blue and the
button shows no yellow streak.
Will Prove Politeness Best.
81 don't care for any back talk
through a newspaper, but If any man
feels he can show me valid excuse
for a lady to stand while he enjoys a
seat, let him bring that excuse to me
personally and will send him away a
happier man than he came"
The small button is covered with
navy blue silk. Stafford has ordered
1000 for delivery at once. This dis
tribution Of buttons will be made
through Mr.. Stafford personally,
through his sons and through his
friends, to employees Of downtown
business houses who ride on the cars.
fT don't mind the expense he said,
fff this will help to make the boys bet
ter fellows. I think if the boys wear
the buttons through one week and live
up to what the buttons mean they will
form habits that will cling to them

ELICIT IN DUTY TO REFUSE.

washington. d. c., Sept. 29.--No ac-
ton has yet been taken by the war

of the United Societies of Chicago
against General Grants recent ap-
pearance in the so-called temperance
parade in that city last Saturday
while wearing the uniform of his rank
in the army. The letter had not been
received by the department this morn
ing. There Is no regulation on the
subject, but some of the department
officials think it would be better for
officers not to wear uniform on unoffi-
cial occasions.
Grant Expresses His Openion.
Cen Grant, who is in the city, says
it was not a temperance parade, but
demonstration In favor of law and or
der. and he feels he would have been
derelict in his duty had he declined
the invitation to head the parade He
also declares that until prohibited by
the proper authorities he will con-
tinue to do the same thing whenever
he deems it necessary In the cause of
good government.
The Chicago Protest.
The protest was made yesterday by
w. R. Michaelis Of the executive
board of the United Societies for Lo-
cal Self-Government, at Chicago, who
sent a letter to Secretary of War
Dickinson asking if there is any de-
partment rule governing such an ap-
pearance. When Mr.. Michaelis' action
became known to DR.. H. G. Newton,
secretary Of the great temperance
and law enforcement parade commit
tee, he addressed letter to the war
secretary declaring that General
Grant performed a patriotic duty"
A third letter, addressed to Secre-
tary Dickinson by A. P. Bal1ou of the
Hamilton club, defended General
Grant against the protest OF the Unit
ed Societies officer.
