Advice About Wrinkles.

Youth is the time when woman
should begin her fight against that arch
enemy to beauty-the wrinkle If she
waits until middle life to combat this
stealthy foe, it is too late the wrinkle
has established its cobweb Of lines across
the face. 1t has a spidery cunning and
persistence that will require all the self
control a woman can muster to out
wit it.
Few women realize how early this en-
envy begins its work OF undermining
beauty. The child who is encouraged
to make an ugly face because it is anus
ing soon develops a funny trick into an
ugly habit, and the first foothold is given
the wrinkle
One cannot begin too early to guard
against this habit, and the best safe
guard is self-control The woman who
uses her lace to give emphasis to a shaft
of sarcasm is harming herself The
girl who gushes and acquires afFeeta-
tiOn is writing lines upon her face that
in later years she will strive TO erase.
The woman who makes an effort to
change a sullen disposition will soon
possess a eountenance that explains it.
self. The quick temper, the melancholy
temperament are both fostermothers to
the wrinkle. Il is possible to suffer
deeply and vet carry a serene face to
the world if women will only practice
self-control
Of course, wrinkles are often produced
by nervousness. bad eyesight and in

A Nebraska man, S. j. Case, says
that he has recently put a concrete
floor in his horse stable, but he is be-
ginning to fear that this kind of a
stable will be hard on his horses

others who have tried the concrete
floor. We know a number Of in
stances where two inch planks have
been put down on top of the concrete
these being placed about one inch
apart so as to keep the floor dry.
The space is made by using an inch
washer and this held in place by rum

for each stall should be separate so
that it can be taken up.
