Not Guilty.

Mr. Wilcox and myself put up a
somewhat similar drink in taste, color
and effect, both said to be the original

up in OF dark amber bottles of the
same height and general size. In sell

my bottles and myself his. The differ

call an exchange system, that is to ex-
change our bottles when they become
mixed.

day of March, 1910, that had some of

Death Of Miss Clara Ann Wilson.

The people of Columbia were not
surprised last Saturday afternoon when
the intelligence of the death of Miss
Clara A. Wilson spread over the city.
1t was known to the entire town that
her condition was serious, and that she
could not possibly recover Notwith-
standing her demise had been daily .ex-
pected for week, and that her rela-
tives and friends were prepared to meet
it, her passing brought great sorrow to
many hearts.
She was a daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
I. I. Wilson and was born in Camp
bellsville September 10, 1889, making
her % years old. Some years ago,
while visiting sister in Louisville, she
made a profession of religion and united
with the Baptist Church. Later her
membership was removed to the Church
at this place, in which she lived a very
consistent life until God called her
hence. While in health she was a
regular attended at Sunday school and
it was not often that she missed a
Church service.
The funeral services were held in
the Baptist Church Sunday afternoon,
conducted by Rev. d. HI. Howerton, as
sisted by Ed z. T. Williams. the build
ing being packed with friends who
were there to pay their respects to one
they loved in life After the discourse
the remains were conveyed to the city
cemetery, followed by several hundred
people The floral offerings were many
and very beautiful.
The passing of this young woman
leaves only two members of the i'm
mediate family, the mother and broth
er. The separation is a serious blow
to them, but they should remember
that the beloved daughter and dear
sister is now free from pain and the
troubles of this world, and that after
awhile they will be made to understand.
May the Giver of all that is good bind
up their wounded and bleeding hearts,
and sanctify this sad death to their
good is the wish of The Adair County
News.

MANS Duty to Man," was the SUBJ
ject discussed last Sunday in the Christ
ian church by ED TT. Williams, pas
tor. This subject was given him some
time ago, and his. disposal of it was
commendable to himself, and well pleas
ing to all who heard it. He took as a
text, the Golden Rule, and from it he
showed mans duty to his fellow Great
ures. Briefly stating, it was a. sermon
that touched and stirred the noblest
impulses that actuate individuals in
their conduct with others. 1t should be
preached throughout the land. Mans
duty to man is closely related to mans
duty to God, and Bro. Williams brought
it out so clearly that the two seem to be
one This community needs more ser

Mile. Gaby DesIys

X TOU have an expression in English
which amused me very much the
first time I heard it. Some one
alluded TO a woman as being well
groomed. thought that only applied
to a horse but>I find now that 1t IS
the same thing as well-eared for, or
"bien soignee," as we say IN French.
Certainly you can not hope to be pref
ty and charming unless you look after
this grooming. Being well groomed
in New York is more difficult than It
is in Paris. because we seem to have so
much more time over there. Why the
q hours over here are gone in min-
ute.
Perhaps It is that distances are
greater here. or that there are many
more things one thinks one has to do.
and somehow even a public person feels
she is much more in evidence all day
long than she would be in Paris.
So much Of the life Of even the most
sedate women over here seems TO pass
in public places such as hotels, for IN
stance, and restaurants, and so many
people live IN hotels that they natur-
ally require tO be more carefully
groomed and more constantly aware
Of their appearance than the woman
who does not leave her own home until
late in the afternoon to take tea, or FOR
a hurried shopping tour.
Then you have so many business
girls over here, and We are only be-
ginning abroad to train girls for
business career. over here they are
much more Suita bly, dressed, L think,
and much better groomed, for you have
facilities here even for people Of quite
moderate income, which we do not have
to the same extent in France
I am abiding to the generous supply
Of M n I
am told Is in almost all the houses,
even the most modest ones Private
bathrooms and running not water IS
still considered a luxury in France, and
our water IS heated especially when we
need #, and does not flow in a constant
stream Of cleanliness and comfort
whenever we turn the faucet.
The French woman struggles with
these disadvantages, but she has in
nate taste and skill in dressing herself
and appearing To the best advantage.
Her grooming consists in being extra
ordinarily neat. Many Of our poets have
fmmOrtalized the little French working
girl whose chief charm and fascination
lay in her exquisite neatness, and no
woman IS well groOmed who is untidy
in the slightest degree
] cannot bear to see a woman whose
back hair strays down over her collar
or whose belt IS not properly arranged
behind and shows the sagging skirt
band.
Another point is the length of the
skirt As we are all wearing short
skirts these days that is very impor-
tant The skirt must be the same
length all around, and must not dip for
the fraction Of an inch In the back
Then one is not really smart or well
EoWned If ones collars are not right.
The high collar is quite ugly unless
It is really high. Nothing gives a 9vvo-
man more provincial air than a half
high. half-lOW collar, which comes
about the. middle Of her neck and
leaves an inch or so of bare skin

work, and his evenings to himself.
His mothers greatest regret was that

so he determined TO 90 to night school
and make enough regents counts to
have that high school education

physically tired out may claim that he
should have the evenings to himself for
good time This is his right and no
