Care of the Hands.
BY M me Jeanne La Place.


Beautiful hards are almost as i'm.
portant to the beauty seeker as is a good
complexion. 70 be beautiful the hands
must be smooth and white and plump.
-Four ounces of rose water, one-half
ounce of pulverzed boraX, one-hali
ounce of glycerine and one-half dram
of tincture of benzoin.
The hands should be washed and
carefully dried, and few drops of the
lotion rubbed in.
With the coming of cold weather,
chapped hands are likely to be source
of misery. The best remedy is proven
ton. Don't wash the hands immedl-
ately before going ont of doors. Don't
put the hands into very hot water. If
this is necessary, rinee the hands III
cool water afterwards. Always dry
the hands thoroughly. Don't wear
wooden gloves if you can help it.
Well-kept nails are absolutely essen
tial for a beautiful hand. Home mani
curing is simple and easy. The Deces-
sary utensils are nail brush, pair oil
small curved scissors a flexible nail
file, an orange wood stick and nail
buffer.
First wash the hands in warm water
and soap, using the nail brush freely,
Then with the orange wood stick press
back the cutie around the base of the
nail.
Clip the nails 10 the length DESIRED
and file them until they are the same
shape as the ends of the fingers. Long
pointed nails are not desirable. Ruo
into the nail little polish With white
n all enamel rubbing the nails OF one
hand in the palm of the other.
Now wash the hands again, and pun
on final polish with the clean buflef'
This will make the nails just "shlny
enough, without giving them the hlgh
polish which is now considered ba"
taste-Woman's World.

To thdeditor Of the Sun-sir Csr.,
ly it is time that the grower ana

he gets them" But several BUYERS On,
together and decide what they will nav

or barrels that the fruit was shipped J.,
as the check returned often will no,
pay for the picking alone.
But Mr.. Cityman, buying appIes q,

net know that they are nothing hu,
culls,,which have been bought for 20 q,
so cents barrel-that is, 10 or II cents
basket, or IL or cents peck.
That is why so many thousands If
baskets go to waste every year. The
farmer has no show whatever. He
works harder than any man. WIZ,
city man begins work one hour before
sunup and gets done about two hours
after shutdown the year round? Count
the hours and see how hard iand lone
he must work, and then the biggest
crop he can raise is dett, and his most
important crop-a mortgage--he is
never able to raise.
Last year peaches on the Eastern
Shore did not pay expenses This year
we had no peaches, but we had more
money than last year, as 80, 600 baskets
left us in debt!
But last year in the city of Baltimore

could do for myself was to get them
three for cents, at the market.
/ know myself that large peaches.
such as YOU read about or see in
pictures, were selling for 20 or 80 cents
for two-peck baskets. AT least the
farmer received that, minus freight,
commission and hauling.
The Gamers combined and said they
would pay no more, and there we were!
The market was fixed and no one
could do anything.
The apple grower is little better off,
for he can cold-storage his crop, but
peaches are left at the mercy of the
buyer.
"back to the farm" is all right if
you have some money TO throw away,
but the poor man had better stay in
the city and be commission man ora

Presidents Head Measur

Pittsburg, Pa. Oct. I.-Whtn
Charles A. NuZum, formerly news-
paper man Of Clarksburg and Parker :
burg, carrying an odd looking machiI
ia his arms, eluded the. army VI deie'-
tives in the lobby OF the hotel Shenley,
this afternoon, and made for Presi-
dent Taft's suite of rooms, suspicious
hotel porter became excited. The port
er raced, at breakneck speed, to the
lobby of the hotel, and whispered into
Police Supt. McQusld's ear "there i q
man with an internal muchine trying
to get into Mr.. Tatts room.
Chief dcQuaid slgnaIled twenty OF
thirty other sleutbs and led by the cx-
cited porter, they ran to the third floor
of the hotel. "fhere he is. There's

The man was 30 excited when le
saw a score of sleuths with drawn
guns, that he did not hesitate for a
moment, but dropped the machine
with thud. "Now gentlemen, search
this man" ordered Supt McQusid.
81 am not crank. simply want
to see the President on business.

pleaded the man almost breathlessly.
But the detectives were used to hear
ing stories like that from other crsnks,
and began marching the man Off the
floor to a nearby patrol box.
The news that crank with an in
fernal machine, had been arrested in
front of President Taft suite of rooms
spread like wildlire.
Within Two minutes mob of ex.
cited people had broken past lhepolice
and forced their way to where the
crank" was heard or all sides. The po-
lice were doing every thing in theil
power to get the stranger out to near
by patrol box without any trouble |
from the crowds.
President Taft, in his room, heard |
the commotlon in the corridor. |
"What's the trouble out there" he
asked Secretary Hilles. Hilles opened |
the door, and found the crowd around |
stranger. "Lets look at him" said !
Hi,les, as he forced his way through |
the crowd. "Oh, gentleman this lis |
mistake. This gentleman has an APP
pointment with President Taft. The
President is sitting in his room wait
ing for him. That machine is confor-
mateur, used for taking the contour of |
the President head"
Mr.. Taft overheard his Seeretary's |
explanation, and he, too, came out |
The President explained that he had |
sent for the man to come ard take the |
measurement of his head for a new
hat, which was to prevent hun from
getting entirely bald. 1
This is rich; he had the machine, |
and OF course he was a"crank," laugh

Nuzum's coat back into place, and led |
him into his apartments.

When patient has reached he irst

ed to relax too much in care. Although
the disease may have been conquered,
the sick man is left in a state of de-
pleted vitality, which makes him eX-
ceedingly sensitive to small discomforts
and an easy prey to plicatious. 1t
sometimes seems as if this stage were
almost worse than the one of acute ILL

conscious of every sensation and often

The clothing store man generally gets the
