MISS JEWELL RETlREs
Children's Homo Loses a Capable and
Devoted Worker

Children's Homo Loses a Capable and
Devoted Worker
Sioux Falls-In q recent issue the
Deadwood Pioneer Times pays the
following tribute to Miss Allie Jew
ell who has done such good work
In the western portion of the state as
representative of the Children's Home
at Sioux Falls:
Though many OF them are yet too
young to realize 1t, the homeless chill
dren OF South Dakota have suffered a
distinct loss which Is shared by thou
sands OF the older residents In the
announcement that Miss Allie Jewell,
the western representative OF the Chill
drens' Home of Sioux Falls Is about
to sever her connection with the
work.
Miss Jewell has yielded to that
national cry of back to the farm and
after twelve years Of activity In a
field that returns little remuneration
beside the satisfaction Of assisting In
a great work for humanity, has decid-
ed to try the delights of ranching and
will become a homesteader near Lew
iston, Mont.
Miss Jewell first associated her
self with the work OF the Childrens'
Home In 1896, when w. b. Sherrard
was the superintendent. 1t was a
work to which she was peculiarly
adapted and she soon became inter-
ested in the opportunity to better the
conditions OF the hundreds OF little
waits and orphans that are found in
every community. Possessed OF good
judgment, a charm of personality and
a ready wit that tided her over all
emergencies, Miss Jewell put her
whole heart into the work which calls
for a t~ireless energy that would soon
cool the ardor Of any but an ~enthuiast.
1t became her duty to go where she
was called, investigate the cases re-
ported, decide upon the emergency
and then to represent the Home In any
legal actions that might be necessary
in the premises, either In taking chill
dren from unworthy parents or i'm
proper atmospheres, or completing
their adoption into homes where the
lisp Of baby lips and the clasp OF a
little child's arms, brought the one
note of harmony that vas lacking In
the lives of two people.
Twelve years ago Miss Jewell vas
given charge Of the western portion
of the state in this work. It has re-
quired many weary miles of travel by
day and night In stuffy coaches on all
railroad lines, without the Injuries OF
Pullman ssieepers, hard rides into DESC
late sections of the country in all
kinds Of weather, the constant care OF
children of all conditions and moods
and not ~infrequently the personal ex-
hortation OF c~haritably inclined citi-
zens for the maintenance OF the work.
In all this time Miss Jewell has han
died to exceed one thousand children
whose lives have been made brighter
through her efforts and when on
April / she bids farewell to Super
intendent Stuckeman OF the Home, 1t
will be with a consciousness of a work
we'll done"

BY Legislative Enactment Distinctive
Names are Protected

oy Legislative enactment Distinctive
Names are Protected
Pierre-Two acts OF the last legis-
lative session, IL carried out in their
intent will give more individuality to
school and farm life in this ctate,
and the probability is that when the
laws go into effect the first Of July
there will be a general movement to-
ward their observance.
One OF these Is senate bill 122 by
Weaver, which authorizes owners OF
ranches and farms in the state to
give them distinctive names, and have
the same registered in the office of
the clerk of courts of the county In
which the farm OF ranch is located.
The registration is to show the To-
cality and name selected, and the
name when registered gives the one
registering an exclusive right to that
name in the county in which he lives.
While some land owners have given
names to their farms, anyone else
whose fancy might be attracted by
such lame could use the same causing
COuluSlOH, UuL when d legal anu eA-
elusive designation can be made no
doubt most Of the farms of the state
will in. the course of a year or two
have a name by which 1t will be gen.
orally known in all thecommunity,
and be as definitely located by name
as any town or p~ostofice in the
ty.
Another act, house bill 90, by Par
sons, allows the patrons of any school
district of the state to select a dis
tinctive name, and register the same
with the county superintendent of
schools Of the county, in a book to
be kept for that purpose, and when
a district so registers a name it has
an exclusive right to the same for the
county in which it is located.
This will also give a distinctive le-
gal name to the different school dis
tricts, and most of them will be names
which will attract by their pleasing
euphony rather than the weired names
which often attach to districts, and
grow as time goes on, so strong that
1t is hard to shake them off.

A great many people go on suffering
from annoying ailments for q long

Engine Starts Fire

Rockham-A west-3ound freight
train set FIRE to the prairie a few miles
northwest of Rockham, and for a time
there was great excitement. The fire
spread rapidly because Of the high
wind and soon had extended over
quite a scope of country. Several au-
tomobile loads OF Rockham men went
to the scene of the FIRE and with the
aid Of ccores OF farmers succeeded In
saving farm buildings which were
threatened. After sweeping about half
a mile into Hand county the FIRE was
extinguished. Much damage was done
to hay and pasture land

USING
COLD CREAM.

A cold cream that suits one skin to

al creams she finds nothing that
agrees with her complexion it is pref
ty safe to assume that she has not
yet found the right unguent or is
using them all wrongly.
No species of unguent must be put
upon the face until the skin has been
cleansed Of soil and softened by the
warm bath. In the daytime the face
can be cleansed occasionally with the
cream, but it is better to get used
to it only at night, for where the
face skin is concerned there is such
a thing as using too much grease
In the application Of all unguents mas
sage is half the battle, 80 the trick
many women have of dabbing on a
blob Of cream and smearing it lightly
over the face is all wrong. The 1ubri-
cant must be worked down into the
pores for the velvety softness desired
to come, and after they have absorb
ed all that they win the remaining
oiliness must be removed with a soft
cloth. It this superfluous quantity
OF cream Is left on the skin it only
does harm. The pores get so used to
the drenching that they won't act
without it and all that lies on top only
hardens or gets rank under atmos-
pheric changes. Many species Of PIN.
pies and hard dry skin may be attrib-
| uted to an overdose of cold cream.
I have talked before of the simple
methods of massage that may be used
at home, so I will say here that the
manipulation must be done in a way
to hinder or correct the lines that
come in the course of time. The
beauty people use the three long fing-
ers of each hand and with a firm yet
gentle touch rug outward and up

| bit all the face Is gone over in this
| way and the patient can easily tell
when the important cheek muscles
have been touched by seeing the skin
| pull taught about the mouth, thus
effacing the dropping lines at the side
of the nose. The muscles that run
| from the corners Of the mouth. over
the cheek bones are massaged with
clawing movement, which must be
light and quick, but not pinching. This
| fills out hollow cheeks and banishes
the lines of worry about the mouth
and nose Hollow temples should be
clawed up in the same light, brisk
way and afterward treated to the ro-
tary movement.
After the expert masseuse has gone
all over the face with these upward
and outward movements and the 9TH
ers necessary she gives some final
heavy strokes, using the fiat Of four
fingers, palmer way" as they call it.
These go from the center of the fore
head outward and back Of the ears
| downward on the veins at the side of
the neck; she also goes upward at
the side of the mouth and nose with
the palmer strokes and from the chin
to the ears to empty the veins and
promote better circulation. To con
clude, there are a few moments OF
general rotating and soft stroking.
All this sounds complicated, but
it Is simple enough when one
catches the trick, and two of such
face treatments a week are required
by all persons who use cold creams.
