THE DESERT

n ZEE VIRGINIA WETHERFORD
began her return journey into
the mountain west with exulta-
tion. From the momen she
opened her car window hat August
morning In Nebraska the plain called

ell quite as big, rs tawny, as she re-
membered 1t, ft arena for the epic
deeds In which her father had been a
leader bold and free.
Her memories Of Roaring Fork and
its people were childish and romantic
She recalled yividly the stagecoach
which used TO amble sedately. not to
say wheezily. from the railway to the
Fork and from the Fork back to the
railway In the days ten years before
when she had ridden away In 1t a
fearful, despaIring. long limbed girl
and fully expected to End it waiting
FOR her 1t Sulphur City. with cid Tom
Quentan SELL as Its driver.
The first hint of 1.-THE new west"
came to her by way Of the ~pretentious
Hotel Alma, which stood opposite the
station at Sulphur and to which she
was led by a coiored porter of most
elaborate and kindly manners.
This house, which furnishes an ex-
ceIlent dinner and an absorbing mix
ture Of types both American and Eu-
ropean, was vaguely disturbing to her.
1t was plainly not the old time west
the west her father had dominated In
the days before the invasion" 1t
was indeed distinctly built for the
tourist trade and was oiled with all
that might Indicate the comfortable
nearness Of big game and good ash-
ing.
Upon inquiry as to the stage she
was amazed 70 hear that an aufo1no-
bile now made the journey to the Fork
In five hours and that 1t left iHmet

She was still handsome In q large fea-

there and her face laid with a network
OF fretful lines. Her color was bad. At
the moment her cheeks were yellow
and sunken.
She complained of being short Of

like sometimes l can't scarcely drag

A pang Of compromising pain shot
through virginia's heart. II she could

patted her mother on the knee. "Poor

Left alone, Lee Virginia wept no
more. but her face settled Into an ex.
preston of stern sadness. 1t seemed
as Ii her girlhood had died out of her
and that she was about to begin the
same struggle with work and worry
which had marked the lives of all the
women she had known in her child
hood.

A Home Recipe For
Removing Wrinkles
tFrom Woman's National Journal. }


Who will blame the modern woman
for trying to look as young and at
tractive as she reasonably can: Why
should she be placed at a disadvan-
tage in numerous ways by wearing
wrinkles, If she can avoid these hate
full marks Of advancing age?
Few women. however, know what
to do to effectually rid themselves OF
wrinkles or sagginess. None of the
advertised preparations is satisfactory
and most of them are very expensive.
But very simple and harmless home
remedy. which any woman can make.
will work wonders where all the pat
ent preparations fail.
Buy an ounce of powdered saxolite
at any drug store. Dissolve the whole
ounce in half pint of witch hazel
and use it as wash lotion. The
results are practically instantaneous.
Marked improvement is noticed i'm

BABIES KEPT IN milk
BY TWO LABORATORIES
Opening of the Straus Plant
Will Not Affect Plans of
Mr.. Oyster.

The reopening today of the Nathan
Straus pasteurized milk laboratory will
have no effect upon the plans of George
NJ. Oyster. jr., to continue the five phil
anthropic milk stations which he has been
operating this summer.
In fact, three of the Oyster stations
Friendship House, Neighborhood House
and Colored Social Settlement-formerly
received milk from the Straus plant. and
Mr.. Oyster states that he has no inten-
ton of abandoning them.
Nurses Are in Charge.
Nurses are in charge of the Nathan
Straus laboratory work, and cases need
ing a physician are receiving attention.
1t is expected that within few days a
large number of the mothers who were
feeding their babies on products of the
plant when it was closed some months
ago will again return for the daily sup
ply for their infants.
The reopening of stations which the
Straus plant was supplying in various
parts of the city when ii was closed has
been considered, and it is understood that
the work in these places will be re-
sumed. shortly. In instances where Mr..
Oyster has taken over the locations for
merry served other locations will prob
ably be chosen. The plan will be one of
cooperation rather than any sort Of COM
petition.
