At some time in the near future
Mayor Rowland will ask some
citizens Of the town to discuss
with the town commissioners, at
a meeting of that body, the best
plan to adopt to bring about alb
solutely sanitary conditions in
Lumberton. Few will deny that
all who can do so should be re-
quired to connect with the sewer
lines, but in enforcing a general
order of that kind difficulties
would be met with that may be
obviated, to some extent at least.
At considerable expense the sew
er lines were extended two years
ago and there are unquestionably
many property owners who should
be required to connect. We hope
Mayor Rowland will call a meet
ing soon and that some plan will
be hit upon that will settle the
matter with the least possible
friction.

King George V was formally
proclaimed as successor to the
throne at 4o'clock this afternoon.
The ceremony was an impressive
one, occurring in the throne room

His coronation, originally set

SOME OLD FRIENDS RETURN
Materials Familiar to a Past Genera
ton Have Again Become Popu-
lar Favorites.

An inspection of the materials for
summer wear show that certain old
time, reliable materials have returned
under new names, but our mothers
will recognize their friends in the
shape of the coarse linens that re-
semble oatmeal cloth, hopsacking
and the various basket weaves.
The feature that commends itself
to many women is the fact that the
weave is so evident that it serves for
decoration, and, therefore. requires
very little other ornamentation Sim
pie braiding designs or buttons are
generally sufficient for the morning
dress, while the square meshes of
these coarse fabrics form excellent
backgrounds upon which designs in
cross-stitching (done with wooden or
linen threads) may be added
When the individual touch of en-
broidery is added, these materials are
excellent for afternoon wear, and al
though the design is more conven
tional than the trailing vines worked
by the weavers of so years ago, the
effect warrants the time expended in
the construction.

CLEAR SKIN A NECESSITY
Claim to Beauty Cannot Be Admitted
Without the Possession Of
That Charm.

The fascination of a clear, fair
skin is recognized by every woman.
No matter how regular her features.
If the skin is blotched woman loses
all her power to attract. A good skin
is an evidence of health, pure blood
and right living. Powder will not
cover an imperfect complexion, but
will give 1t a mottled, livid appear
anoe. A new preparation gives soft,
youthful bloom to the skin, will not
show and is absolutely beneficial in
every way 1t contains no zinc, perox-
ide or white lead, and may be used
on a baby-surely a perfect test OF
its purity 1t will remove the tired,
old expression engendered by pain or
fatigue and the haggard look which
the hustle of modern life will give
to even a youthful face. Rarely In
deed can a beautifier be found which
cannot be detected, and the obvious
use of cosmetics robs a woman of
that air of refinement which makes a
lady. A fresh, natural appearance ex-
acts willing admiration from either
sex, and such is certainly to be OBJ
tanned by the use of this dainty
preparation.

To Use India Print.

Blue and white India print cut into
bias strips of varying width makes
an excellent trimming for a child's
dress.
Here is something unique and yet
beautiful, that will not fade and is by
no means too old-looking for a little
girl.
India print is an altogether desira-
BILE and durable stuff in color and
quality, and can be used on fine or
coarse white linen without the least
danger of the colors spreading into
the white surface.
Buttons covered with the print will
add style and then, too, the end OF
material you have left will do for a
band round the dark blue or white
straw hat.
