THE USE OF ARSENIC.
How the Poison Acts When Taken as
Complexion Beautifier.

How the Poison Acts When Taken as
Complexion Beautifier.
You no doubt have observed the lily
white complexion of some women.
These women are sacrificing years Of
their lives for that beautiful skin by
the use of arsenic" said a chemist of
Manchester, England.
1T is a we'll known fact that thou
sands Of women in all countries Of the
world use the poison in small quanti-
ties TO bleach their skin. 1t is an eff
fective means of whitening and clear
ing the complexion, but the complex
ION given by its use has no perma-
lency unless the absorption Of the drug
be continued.
Arsenic, as science has long told US,
is an accumulative poison. When one
takes it either by prescription for the
upbuilding of an appetite or for the
bleaching of the skin he does not feel
any i'll effects for several years. The
effect of the drug is bracing and makes
a person feel like eating. 1t also aids
the digestion. The average user Of
the poison takes it in such small guam
titles that he does not realize how
much of it will accumulate in his sys-
tenn in the course of four or five years.
Being an accumulative poison, it
often takes that length of time to see
the results of the drug. Then the user
may complain of not being able to con-
troll his fingers or toes. Subsequently
Paralysis, superinduced by arsenical
poisoning, is the fearful resuIt-Wash-

Getting to Saluda.

SSaluda Standard, 1th.
Mr.. R. B. Wallace says that tne
need of a railroad between Ne"oerrS
and saluda was very forci5ly I'M
pressed upon him several days ago.
Ho had sold a fine Hallett & Davis
vir+nolo to Mr.. ". C. Edwards, OF Sa-
linda and had to ship the instrument
10 Ward, and then drive from New
berry to Ward, on the Columbia ana
Augusta division of the Southern ana
haul the piano back to saluda ABOUT
"a miles.-Newberry Herald and News
This is a good argument in favor OF
= railroad from Saluda to NeWDerry'
and we hope to live to ride to and
from Newberry over this much needed
road, but if Mr.. Wallace had known
as much about how to ship from New
berry to Saluda as he does about SELL
ing good pianos, he would have ship
ned bv car rates via Ward and Bells
on our new road, only a short dis
tance from Sa1uda. Nearly all goods
now billed to Saluda are hauled in
5hort order either from Bells, or Mine
Creek crossings, not more than two
and one-half miles distance.
You will therefore take due notice,
Mr.. Wallace, and govern yourself ac-
,cordingly.

NOTED LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT.
Harlan p Kelsey Visits NeWherry.-
Pleased With WillOWbrO0k Park.
Drives Over City.

Mr.. Harlan P Kelsey, landscape
gardener and arvhitect, spent Sunday
in Newberry with Mr.. E. H. Aull. \ '.
Kelsey, while Southern man, has
been making his home for several
years in New England, living at Salem,
Mass. He has been employed by the
State Hospital commission to lay out
the grounds and roads and assist III
the locations of the buildings that are
now being erected at the State Park
in the general plan of enlarging the
State hospital for the insane.
Mr.. Kelsey, some years age, gave to
Columbia the general plan of parking
that city, which is now being carried
out by the city council. He is also
employed by the city of Greenville IL
a plan which has been agreed upon
by that city for the parking of the en-
tire city. In fact, the parking :dea is
being taken hold of by all progressive
and up to date towns and cities.
Mayor Langford spent sometime
with Mr.. Kelsey on Sunday afternoon,
and Mr.. q. F. Wright was kind enough
to take Mr.. Kelsey over Newberry iE
his car, and amongst other places Wis
tied was Willowbrook. Mr.. Kelsey was
charmed with the appearance of Will
lowbrook, and said that it came near
er his idea of a park than anything he
had seen at any of the mills in this
State, or anywhere else for that mat
ter. He said that one of the many
difficulties in parking Newberry was
the narrow streets, and one of the first
things that should be done would be
to secure asWide boulevard somewhere
through or around the city so that the
people might see what was meant by
the park idea.
He was shown the proposed land for
the Idler's park and thought it could
be made into very pretty park, and
that possibly a boulevard On one side
Of this land might be carried through
under the railroad and on along by
Willowbrook. It is hoped that ar
rangements may be soon made to be-
gil work on this park and while we
viii have to start with a. small plot, it
is expected to extend the PARK down
the creek to the railroad It would
pay the people who own property ad-
joining this proposed park to Cooper
ate in making q wide boulevard along
one side of it for that would material
" increase the value of the land on
such boulevard as a residence section.
All cities and towns the size of New
berry should realize the Importance
of providing Fairgrounds for the chill
dren and parks for the older people
and the city that does not take hold
of it is not keeping in touch with the
procession.

How are you going to make that
Necklace of Perfect Joy? There are
many ways and they are so easy and
so pleasant / often wonder why more
people are not making such a Necklace
for themselves. I can't understand It.
You must be kind and considerate and
generous and unselfsh. They are so
easy and make you feel so much bet
ter. When night comes if you can
remember some kind word you have
spoken to some broken hearted fellow
being that made him feel better; if
you can recall some help that you
have extended without selfish motive
back of it; if you have made some soul
happier and brighter and better, these
are pearls in your Necklace of Perfect
Joy. But if your main motive has
been greed and selfshness and avarlce,
and to accomplish your purpose you
have disregarded the rights of the
other fellow, and have taken advan-
tage of his weakness and helplessness,
YOU have only injured yourself, and
you are drying up the fountains of
youth and growing old while you
should still be young. l am now very
old in years. About the only thing that
worries me is I can't understand the

Suppose you think on this little SER

ing for yourself a. Necklace Of Perfect
Joy, or are you spending your life
on material things and bringing frowns
and wrinkles to your face and pre-
mature old age to yourself. The ac-
emulation of material things is all
right, but when you let it absorb your
whole being it is sure to make you old

sooner or later you must bid it adieu,
and you will long for that Necklace of
