Cold Cream

Dear Mrs Svmes-
What is the name OF a good cold cream
that I may buy at some drug store? My
skin is very sensitive. and powder and
cold cream make it scaly. Do you know
of any powder that VII. look smooth when
put on i? 1 have tried all kinds OF talcurn
and other powders. GREGORlA.
Once more I must repeat that I
cannot recommend any proprietary
article. If your skin is inclined to be
Scaly. you should use an emOllient. L
think olive oil rubbed into the skin at
bedtime will do more good than any
cream you might use. There are
many persons who are not able to use
powders on their faces on account OF
the drying effect; probably you are
one of these.

Dear MIS-. Adams.
How would you advise me to act toward a
man whom / went with constantly for
nearly two years and a short time ago
stopped paying any attention to me? When
we meet he is as nice TO me as he ever
was. Why, do YOU think did he act this
way? How can 1 make him like again?
LONESOME.
Conduct yourself the same as you
did in the past. Not knowing the
circumstances, it is hard to tell why
the young man has treated you So
You can do nothing to make him
care for you. / don't think you would
want mans love if 1T were not

 OVER WATER RECORD
Aviator Flies 12O Miles Over
 Lake Erie.

Glenn H. Curtiss made what wss technically the longest over water flight ever achieved in an aeroplane when he flew from Euclid beach, a few miles east of Cleveland, O., to Cedar point, eff Sandusky bay, sixty and one half miles, over Lake Erie all the way. He made the flight in one hour and eighteen minutes, averaging 46.1 miles an hour.
 He added another chapter in the conquest of the air the next day when he flew from Cedar point to Euclid beach, circled about above a huge crowd at Euclid beach for perhaps three minutes and landed gracefully, all in one hour and forty-one minutes.
 The aviator insists he travelled sev- enty miles in his flight to Cedar point and a like distance on his return, though the mileage is called sixty and nine-tenths miles and the geolog- ical survey office here figures the flight at sixty-four miles and a slight frac- ton.

 He is about to make away with him. self when he is caught in the firm grip of man with a healthy and opimis- tic view of life, who labors hard and 7 succeeds in restoring the boy to his original self respect and enthusiasm. The youth returns to his home town to fight anew the great struggle of life. He succeeds by first winning the es- teem and confidence of his fellow townsmen and the girl, who has never let her love for him abate in the least. The play teens with character studies of typical habitues of the great white light" and as a contrast we also see the healthy, stury Americans par ticularly indigenous to the small coun- try towns. aa t
 A new play by Margaret Mayo, en- titled Baby Mine." is another produc- tion that is winning much success. This is a farce in three acts, in which all sorts of funny complications follow the borrowing of a baby by young wife. Later on in the season we are to have new play by George Ade.
 "A Certain Party is the title of a new political farce comedy in which Mabel Hite is starring this season. It tells the story of progressive citizen who enters politics with the very laudable purpose of insdtuting some necessary reforms. His campaign fares very badly until his niece's Irish maid, who knows all "the boys, steps to his rescue and teaches him the necessity of the human element in politics With her assistance the re form candidate finds his course easy sailing Miss Hite is supported in the play by her husband. Mike Donlin, the former baseball player.
 Fanny Aymer Matthes has written a play called 'The Red Swan" which has for it's theme a grand opera prima donna's career. It is to be produced under the management of John B. Doris, and it is expected a real grand opera singer will take the leading role, which is rather melodramatic.
