Disfiguring Wrinkles
Can Be Removed
(From Fashions TodayJ

After many years OF experiment
tation with different lotions.
creams and chemicals the clever
women OF America had almost
come TO the conclusion that wrin-
kles, enlarged pores and a double
chin must be tolerated, for they
could not be removed.
However, within the last few
years yhe wonderful results OBJ
tanned from the use of ordinary
thermoiized jelly have become
known. This is not to be confused
with any worthless powdered
drugs, but has genuine and won
derful efficiency. An ounce and a
half of thermodized Jelly may be
obtained for a few cents at any
up-to-date drug store, and Il
makes the skin taut and firm, even
after one or two applications. The
therHo1lzed Jelly builds up the
tissues where they require repair
and draws the whole fibrous tis-
sue back into It's old-time smooth
ness.

Shooting Stars.

Astronomers estimate that about
10000, 100000 of shooting stars reach
this earth in the form of meteorites or
Gust every year OF course shooting
stars in reality are not stars at all;
they are little cosmic particles. often
weighing much less than one ounce
and composed mostly of iron and car
bon. Most of them travel around the
sun In the same fashion that comets

trajectories. Sometimes it happens
that the trajectory of some of these
bodies cross the trajectory of our own
earth If the little meteorite and the
earth get to that point at the same
time they naturally collide. These
planetoids are not luminous in them
selves. So long as they fly through
ether (Which is utter nothineness) there
is no friction; therefore no heat and no
light. But as soon as they enter the
atmosphere with which our globe is
surrounded their speed is so great that

Tram Your Braafhino

"If one learns to breathe properly
when young he finds the benefit of it
in middle and old age" said a physi-
clan.
You will notice that when a middle
aged man gets into train he holds his
breath and then grunts loudly as he
sits down. This is a stupid practice.
1t throws terrific strain on the heart
and may even burst blood vessel in
the lungs or the brain. Many of those
sudden deaths we hear Of are due to
holding the breath while making a VIC
lent effort Only the trained athlete is
usually free from this fault. Athlete
or not. every one should practice easy
and regular breathing If it cannot be
managed with closed mouth then the

forming such operation as lifting a

Broadway and the Strand.

Broadway, New York is the more or
less exact counterpart of the London
Strand. 1t is actually broader but it
appears more narrow because the
houses are so much higher. and 1t is
little straighter because it is a made
road. not a road evolved from what
was once path along river mud The
general effect is Identical There are
the same kinds of shops aud a crowd
of the same type passing 10 or from
The business quarter of the city. But,
rs have said. one rubs ones eyes
looking out at the crowd upon the
sidewalk. 1t Is the Strand crowd
cosmopolitan. varied. people touching
one another so closely that the tops of
their heads appear to form another
tier on the street. a tier paved with
hats instead of wood blocks or gran
lite sets. There 1t is, the crowd. But
1t appears to stop still In ones first
establishment one thinks that all these
people are waiting for a procession to
pass. One cannot believe that they
are the procession. Nevertheless as
the slow trolley passes onward one
realizes that the crowd is actually in
motion-that 1t is the thing itself. not
the procession. 1t is an extraordinary
shock. this first impression of the land
of hurry.-Ford MADDOX Hueffer in At

he did on such occasions. He went
into stores and smashed things gener-

came back and paid for them like a

be found rs many confirmed drunk
ards IS there were among the Thra-
clans, the Iberians, the Celts or the
Scythians. The man who didn't get
drunk every day or two was regarded
as queer The Greeks were moderate
drinkers until they began to copy the
luxury of the Persian feasts. The Ro-
mans initiated the Greeks. Then the
whole world went on a mad drunk. 1t
was a saturnalia. Caltgula owes his
niche in the hall of fame to the drunk
