The Executive Committee met in Co.

But to this some of the defeated

Then the committee appointed SUBJ

And report the result to the best

The subcommittee then met up in the
big Spartan City,
And such another uproar and mess
that it was really a pity.
Some of the spectators and commit
tee ranted at such a rate
That the chairman threatened to go
int secret session or adjourn to
Charlotte, over in another state.
The frauds reported from Spartan
burg, Anderson and Greenville
were really enough to gorge me.
And Aiken really acknowledged
that good many voted in their
county from Georgia.
Now all these reports of fraud and
ugly doings represents very sad

This was their only food. They
drank as much hot water as they

In reducing their flesh. The dan

is that the exclusive beef eating

DR.. Sumner was anxious to find

disk-shsped glass plates of the
proper diameter, and putting them
in Jars.
Photographs Of the fishes were
taken, with the backgrounds thus
varied, by means of an overhead
camera which was pointed verti-
eally downward. As a result, II
was found that the founders were
able not merely to match colors,
but even to copy the patterns of
the artificial bottoms on which they
rested-say, for example, a bottm
painted in black and white squares.
The experiments proved that
these changes were due to move

By Mime. Lima Cavalier

I ALWAYS think of March, so far
as beauty Is concerned. as the
L bridge of the year. Winter, a
trying season. is behind; Spring
and Summer, more favorable to
beauty, are before. March is the
bridge one crosses between. and q
most uncertain bridge it is.
The bridge may be even more
trying to beauty's eyes and COM
plexion and hair than the Winter
has been, for 1t is a hybrid month,
subject to the sudden changes that
fling one back from the gentle
promise of Spring into the rigors Of
midwinter. II is the month when
an umbrella should never be out OF
sight. and rubber overshoes should
always be. so to speak, within call.
q Sudden changes from heat to cold,
or the opposite, are deleterlous,
especially so to the complexion. a
fact which beauties have long rec
ognized by holding a screen before
their faces when they indulge in the
homelike practice Of sitting before
the open FIRE. They know that the
intense heat Of the blaze will dry
and shrivel the skin, and to pre-
serve its moisture and delicacy they
lift the saving hand screen.
The person of naturally dry skin
suffers most from the cold Of Win
ter and the harsh. drying winds of
March. The skin that is not plenti-
fully supplied with natural oils, or
in which the lack is supplied by
good, nourishing creams, will look
dry and show the first faint lines,
II not the deeper creases, Of actual
wrinkles this test month, or bridge,
OF beauty's year.
The owner of such a skin should
literally feed 1t with nourishing oils
and creams. II you find that you
