Not ono in all that vast crowd, save

WHO'S AFRAID?
Talk about women being afraid
of mice!
Sheriff w. S. Smith of Column
bus, Ind, was reading news
paper in his office.
A mouse came along and start
ed up inside Smiths trouser leg.
The bold sheri ffbeat all records
in high jumping and loud yelling.
From several blocks people came
running in time to see Smith on
the ground clutching his leg.
The mouse was. penned up all
right, but the sheriff didn't know
what to do with his prisoner. He
was afraid to let it go.
A friend batted the mouse with
a club, but that hurt Smith more
than the mouse. Another sug-
gested pouring oil on the mouse
and setting it ahre, but Smith car
ries no fire insurance. Another
was for holding Smith under the
water until the mouse was drown
ed; still another offered to do a
William Tell stunt and shoot the
mouse.
Finally Mrs. Smith arrived on
the scene.
Let go, you big ninnyp she
chirped to her sheriff husbahd.
He let go. The mouse dropped
to the ground and committed sui
eide by RUNNING into dogs

How a Woman May

HOLMES Bates, the %wcll-known author, to
a Chicago journal representative.
Reputable physicians have declared
that il she INDUCES in artificial methods
she risks losing her health, "shecontinued.
A perfectly natural method Of treating a
bad complexion is by using ordinary mer-
colized WAY; this adds nothing to the
complexion, but removesit instead. This
wax, obtainablc at any drug store, flakes
off the sallow or blotchy outer skin in fine
particles, gently without harming the
skin beneath. which gradually makes its
appearance, The brilliantly beautiful
complexion thus obtained is a new one
quite different from a p~atched-up old
complexion. This is one way to retain
youthful looks. An ounce Of mercolized
wax is sufficient. 1t is applied at night
like cold cream and washed off in the
