HOME MASSAGE TREATMENT
Method by Which the Busy Woman
May Keep HerseIf In Good Phys
icaI Condition.

In an article in the Woman's Home
Companion on Massage, appears the
following:
Even q woman who has but little
time to devote to 1t may have good
complexion and not get sallow and
wrinkled. These exercises, planned
originally for the business woman, are
equally good for the tired housemOth-
or.
Here is what you need: Plenty Of
soft water; one pound Of finely ground
oatmeal from the grocer; q bottle OF
almond oil, or a Jar Of good cold
cream; q packet of fuller's earth for
face powder; a cup Of boiling milk
every night.
Pour half or a quarter Of the cup Of
boiling milk into the washbasin, and
quickly with your hands rub the milk
all over your face several times. Rub
1t well in; wash in It. little as It Is. /
stiIl declare, after many years, that
there IL nothing in the world so re-
Ireshing and soothing after hard
days work as this. The milk in the
bSsin is black? Yes, 1t always is. 1t
cIeanses the skin thoroughly. Now
sip the rest Of the cupful Of milk very
slowly. Nothing like hot milk for
overtired, strained nerves.
Remove bolster and pillow from
the bed; lie down absolutely nat on
your back for 1t least i've minutes,
arms extended, feet extended; draw
several deep signing breaths. release
them very slowly. relax every muscle
in your body. Then moisten finger
tips with cold cream or almond oil.
and for ten minutes or q quarter Of
an hour, still lying down. very. very
lightly do the simple exercises, and do
not forget, whatever you do, that hard
pressure win ruin any skim BY
stretching II. Then, with q soft rSg.
wipe on the superhuous oil. In the
morning take some oatmeal in the
palm Of the left hand. mix little hot
water with It to form q paste, and
rub It well over the face. Rinse It on
and dry your face with q soft towel,
using the three exercises. II your
skin IL shiny, dust over lightly with
cotton wool dipped In fuller's earth.
These exercises must be done regular

DEFINITION OF WORD CARAT

The jeweler tells you that the ring
or your watch case Ia. IS carat gold
and you have an Idea that II must be
pretty good. as you never have heard
OF any that was 20 or %. What the
jeweler means Is that eighteen twenty
fourths Of the ring is pure gold and
that the rest is copper.
Pure gold is "a carats fine and
would be too soft for everyday use.

this purpose is copper. as It interferes

that nearly half Of It Is copper, and
many that are sold for that are not

rings are stamped to show exactly
what they are.
But when we come to the diamond

SHOWING HOW 1T is DONE.

A new departure in national pro-
motion of agricultural pursuits is the
practical demonstrations Of labor
saving farm machinery under direc-
tion of experts from the department
of agriculture.
Georgia is fortunate in being one
of the first states selected for TINS
work. and ten demonstrations have
been conducted in this state at Varl-
Gus points. The attendance of farm
ers at the demonstrations atteSted
the interest they are taking in the
use of improved machinery. The
demonstrations we're under the di-
rection of three experts and were
made by the Representatives of man
ufacturers of farm machinery who
showed how the machines could be
used to the best advantage at a min
imum of cost and economy of time.
Lectures were also given on crop Gull
tivation, the removal of stumps and
kindred subjects.
Nearly all the demonstrations were
in South Georgia, where the POSSIBLE
tiles for the use of improved ma
chinery are greatest, because of its
light loan soil and level, almost
unbroken fields, which offer practi-
cally the same opportunities for
economy in cultivation as the prairie
lands of the West.
This plan of the government, says
the Savannah News, cannot fail to
accomplish much good. Labor-sav-
ing machinery cuts in half the cost
of production while it doubles the
product of the farm, and, better still,
goes far toward solving the labor
problem, which is as great with the
farmer as with the saw mill man
and the turpentine operator. Thous-
ands of acres of good lands are idle
in Georgia this year because labor
could not be obtained to till them.
Had improved machinery been in
general use these lands would be
contributing to the states wealth.
