A Frenohman's Recipe for Beauty.
\ French psychologist says women
are growing more beautiful and viii
continue to grow more beautiful be-
cause they are interested in so many
more things than formerly. He says
that II the mind keeps alert, active
and interested the body will improve.
This is road to beauty that will
appeal to many women more than does
the massage and face cream route. And
with the knowledge we are gaining
of the power of the mind over the
body. there seems to be sound, scienti-
fie reason for the biologists state
ment,
The beauty most women sigh for,
especially when il Is gone, il the
beauty Of youth. Analysed. what Is
thise Is it not slim. pretty figure
a fresh, unlned face: but most of all,
high spirits. enthusiasm, a keen in
terest III life? And what is there in
all this that a woman cannot keep. or
regain, ii she will? II all comes back
TO her attitude of mind toward life.
As age comes on women are apt to
grow INDECENT T.iey ride instead OF
walk They sit around and sew and
sleep. All this soon shows In the tig-
ure. They do not stand erect and
their back gets bowed. Signs OF age
So called, yes. But why? Because
they permit these aigns of age to be
written over them. II they would
walk. tramp. skate, play tennis. even IL
they were forty or more, their figure
would continue slim and pretty. A
certain woman, nearly fifty and who
has grand children, does all these
things, and her figure is as slender
and graceful AS Il girls of eighteen.
1t all SINNERS down to keeping young
mentally. and the body follows by
keeping young physically.
Not only does this active life keep
the figure youthful. but by keeping the
circulation of the blood good. and con-
sequently the appetite keen, it keeps
the complexion fresh and pretty
But more important than mere ply
steal beauty in the sum total OF at
Effectiveness Is charm. And charm lays
hold. not only OF the physical. but OF
the mental. So that the woman, who
really wants beauty of the highest or
der, needs on all counts to consider
herself mentally
,Te~eaay mere physical beauty does
not win from thinking men and wona-
en- the deepest admiration. So that
in keeping her mind alert a woman
is not only improving her physical
charms. as has been shown, but she
is adding to them force far more
potent in winning regard. The young,
inexperienced girl, no matter how
beautiful. cannot compare in attrac-
tiveness with the equally youthful

4 Hopeful Message to Scalp Sufferers
And Men Who's Hair is Thinning.

Dandruff now-bald later. The same
is true of scalp diseases. In fact bald
ness is scalp disease. The trouble
with the greasy salyes and lotions, the
so-called dandruff and scalp cures you
have tried so far is that they don't DO
anything but temporarily relieve the
itching and cake the dandruff so it
doesn't fall until its dried out again.
Nothing can cure-really cure such
troubles but a real scalp medicine that
will kill the germs causing dandruff
and scalp disease.
Learning from leading fellow drug
gists throughout America that they had
found a WhirIwind cure for dandruif,
eczema and all diseases of the skin and
scalp, w. A Rembert, on proving to
the laboratories that his is the most
prominent drug store in this city, Sc
cured the agency for the remedy. This
remedy is ZEMO, the clean, liquid
preparation that kills the germ of dis
ease and ZEMO SOAP to wash the
scalp or skin clear and clean of the
dandruff or scale and by its antisep-
tic qualities soothe and heal

OUTLOOK is fine
FOR OATS And CORN
Rains Have Set Them Grow
ing at Great Rate

The outlook now seems excellent
fora fine crop of both oats and corn,
said Mr.. T. B. Hooks yesterday in dis
cussing the agricultural prospects of
Sumter county.
The recent rain came just in the
nick of time" he continued, "and the
beneficial results are already appar-
ent. The corn is coming up well and
believe We are going to have fine
stand throughout the county. The oats
have been stimulated and are making
rapid growth since the rainfall I be-
lieye Sumter county, with favorable
weather from now on, will make bum
per crops along these lines"
Other leading farmers lso report
similarly. The prospects all seem 10
favor, at this time, that Sumter coua-
ty will come to the front with some
great crops for 1911. There will be a
very heavy use of fertilizers, a very
careful working of the fields, and given
good weather and fair prices for the
crops this county will be in the prime
of condition next fall
