Compilations Flaked
Off at Home
(From Pilgrim Magazine)


The girl with the poor complexion
complains, Il have to touch up my
cheeks. l am sallow and a sight and
only my makeup saves me-
Now, as a matter of fact. more
women spoil their good looks than
improve them with cosmetics. The
practice certainly is unnecessary,
now that the virtues of ordinary mer-
colized wax as beautifier have be-
come known. IT has been found that
the incredible in the wax has Won
derful absorbent powers. 1t causes
the faded or discolored scarf skin
to fake off in minute, almost i'm
perceptible particles, so gently, grad
ually, as to cause no inconvenience
at all. In this way the old complex
ion is actually removed-likewise all
fine lines, pimples, blotches. moth
patches and other surface defects. A
new complexion appears clear,
smooth, youthful, healthy-hued skin
such as no paint, powder or lotion
can produce. Mercolized wax, TO be
had at any drug store, is applied
like cold cream.

This also means that the papers will
be accepted in the mail as second
class matter. Heretofore, there was
objection to receiving the papers as
such because the people to whom they
were mailed did not pay for them in
advance, as is required in the postal
law for second class mail. Now the
various camps of the organizations pay
in advance for the papers that are
mailed to the members of their camps,
doing away with the question which
kept the papers from being accepted
as second class mail while carrying
Because of the large circulation of
both publications, the advertising is a
valuable asset to both.

by Henry Gehl. manager of the En-

tinction last year also of placing
the first new rice of the season on
the market, The rice was of excel

the best in style of the early re-
.ceipts Of recent years. The ship
me1lt was received at New Orleans

Billy MccIeIland.

I1Ou. w. A. MCGleldnd@ announce
& that he is a candidate to succee
himself as representative in the gen
5eral assembly from Acadia parish.
Shortly after his election, durin,
the first session of the Legislature
of which he was a member, the in
famous sheriff's fee bill came up
1 and Representative MeClelland an
nounced that he would vote agains
Iit. The man who had charge of the
4 lobbying for the bill approached the
Acadia representative and solicited
his vote for the measure
I'm going to vote agin the BILL
replied Representative McClelland
Il don't like it myself, and my folks
out home say. they don't want it.
I'm sorry if it's goin' to knock some
of you fellows out of a little money,
but believe in doin' what my folks
ask
You better get in line," was the
threat that followed. If you vote
against this bill we'll beat you for
reelection. You can set that down
as a cinch."
The Honorable w. "A. MeClelland's s
answer to the threat to beat him
Tor reelection was not5classically ele-
CANT. In fact, it was extremely rude,
and we hesitate to chronicle it. We
do SO only in the interests of his
torical accuracy.
s1You go to hell,'' replied old Billy.
My folks out home don't want this
here sheriff's fee bill passed and
I'm goin' to vote agin' it if every
other man in this House votes for It,
didn't allow to run for reelection,
but il that's the way you feel about
it, you sure got me to5beat''
1t pains us to know that Billy Nc
Clelland would use sIch reprehensi-
bic language. We want to be un-
derstood as frowning fiercely upon
such talk It's positively awful, and
We hope Representative McClelIand
is properly ashamed of it. We hope
he regrets it and that he will never
use such words again
But while we stenly discounte-
nance the Honorable w. A. McClel-
lands impo1ite phraseology, we re
speetfully submit that the idea he
conveyed stamps him as a man who
deserves to go back To the legisla-
ture by the unanimous vote of his
constituency.
The attitude "old Billy took on
that question under the circum-
stances earned him the right to the
support Of every citizen of Acadia
parish who loves an honest man who
IS unafraid Of the political bulIdozer.
&c There may be greater orators in
the house than s<O1a Billy,n but none
Of them have made any better
speeches than that #ane. Mr.. Nc
Gleiland is probably ranked IN the
house by men who have a wider
knowledge Of affairs Of state than
he, but none try harder to do what
'.the folks back home want than
the representative from Acadia. Me-
Clelland may have made mistakes,
for he is human, but he has always
done what he believed was right,
