Secret Revealed-AvoidP Powders, Al
legged "Skin Foods" and Face Creams
Also Unhealthy Soaps

A grown woman with a skin as clear
and soft as babes is delight To the
eve, and the envy of other women with
bad compilations. They don't see how
she does il. OF course they're jealous
because the men flock about her. Here
is one woman's secret, which is fast
growing To be that OF many.
She avoids powders, so-called ''skin
foods" and face creams and unhealthy
soaps. Instead of trying vainly TO COW
er up with paint and powder an ugly
skin, marred by pimples and black
heads, and in which the wrinkles are
beginning TO show, she takes care of
her skin and keeps il healthy.
The best thing ever discovered TO keep
a good complexion or regain one when
lost is Balm of Almond. 1t goes back
TO first principles. Instead of half COW
ering the ugly skin, il cleanses it, re-
moving, not rubbing in, dirt and ruin
Gus accumulations IL takes the place
OF soap-only IL cleanses better than
soap.
Cleansing the pores, stimulating the
complexion, preventing wrinkles and
removing pimples, blackheads, moth
patches, freckles and tan, Balm of AL
mond leaves the skin soft, white and
fresh. A good complexion is preserved
by il. Mothers use il FOR their babies.
IL contains no paraffine, very injurious
TO the skin and found in face creams,
nor other harmful ingredients.
Balm of Almond is sold i'm this city
by Wortley Il French for so cents per
lar. Or send the money TO the Charles
Chemical Co., Grand Rapids, Mich,
and they will send you Jar postpaid.

The American Romance.

Several recent criticisms of Ameri-
can imaginative literature have made
the point that in all our multitudinous
output of fiction, While there has been
a general dead level of artistic value,
there has been no single peak-no lit
erary landmark no creation of su-
preme and enduring worth
There is nothing surprising about
this; nothing that is not in accordance
with the development of art and the
laws of cultured life. Where there is
compact and homog eneouS society
say, in France, in England, in Iceland
or the Isle of Manx-the student of
manners, of customs, of dialect, has a
comparatively easy task before him.
So we have such intimate and distinct
I've stories as Daudet. Hall Caine-a
thousand capital tale-bearers-per-
vaded by the very atmosphere of a
limited country, have so cleverly writ
ten.
II is quite different with us. Our
national life is Kaleidoscope. The
great American novel has not been
written simply because there exists
no American type as yet. The Creole
in New Orleans, the Swede in Mime
sofa, the Dutch in Pennsylvania, the
colored man in the south, the Italians
in New York-a1l these have been en-
balmed in exquisite portraiture- That
is, in miniature But until there ar
rives an ama1gamation of our racial
components how can we expect a story
to be written, even by the highest gen.
ius, which shall fuse these into one
faithful integral picture ?-Philadel-

NOT oulIEIHERE.

The price of pork is high, but the
top-notch price has not yet been
reached in New England The top
notch period was after the close of
the Civil war when money was not
worth much and provender was worth
everything. 1t was then that the one
hundred dollar hog was sold in YER
mont. The Rutland News tells the
story in the following words:
Clarence S. Whittier, who was for
several years in the meat business in
Montpelier, and whose father, r. H.
Whittier, had a meat market there
for over 40 years, takes exceptions
to the present hue and cry that IL
cents is the highest price ever paid
for hogs in this section of the coun-
try He can remember, he says, a
time shortly after the civil war when
his father paid Is % cents a pound
present price of IL cents, and that,
too, when a hog was supposed to
weigh from 400 up before he was
big enough to be butchered. He tells
of one occasion when his father bought
a hog of one of, the farmers which
weighed very nearly 600 pounds, which
at 16 2-3 cents a pound would come to
ain even 500. The difference was so
slight that his father paid the farmer
S160 for the hog, which was the ban
ner price ever paid for one porzer in
this section of the country.
"One summer and fall. Mr.. Whit
tiers market ran short of salt pork,
and George w. Parmenter, who was
then employed there, was sent out
among the farmers to buy up salt
pork, paying them IS cents pound
for pork which was sold for % cents
when it reached Montpelier
Pork has some scope yet before 1t
will reach the top notch prices of the
last century.
