"Once upon a time, as the little birds were making their long journey to

Going a Little Mad at Forty

@wELLKNOWN writer has said that at forty. every woman goes a
And by this. the writer meant that when a woman discovers
IA ~ gray hair creeping in, and a double chin appearing, and her COM
plsxion getting dull and lHeless, and Ter figure taking or curves unpleasant
to the eye, she does lose her head a bit, and rushes around frantoaly to
see what can be done to restore the appearance of youth, even though n
thing itAf Is gone.
She begins privately to look into the subject of hair dyes She be-
enlist her attention. With some women, In a short time. the frenzy passes,
and with a sigh, they accept the inevitable. With others, with the passing
of time, the madness takes more violent form, and shows itselfi IN peroxide
tresses and applications of rouge.
1t is difficult, as w see youth departing, not to make a frantic clutch
to retain 1t. And W o should do all We Ian to make appearance a.
charming t o the eye Is possible The wer-groomed, wel[preserved woman
of middle age ia surely more pleasing than the woman who grows careless
and frowsy with the advance of years. But when this madness OF forty
sehes US, we should try to hold ourselves well In hand. Instead OF resort
ing to hair dye and the rouge pot, W. Will be more charming If 70 cuhi-
vate those graces OF mind and manner which youth to- ohen lacks Mental
and spiritual beauty is as attractive many think more SC. thai physical
beauty; and If the woman of forty would add these to her equipment, she
need not dread the passing of youth. She will find she as just as many
friends, that she is just as we'll liked, that life holds Just a much good
for her. as 1t did when younger. Indeed, 1t may hold more, or she is
better able to tell the gold from the dross.
And 1t is also to be noted that the writer said: 1.-THE woman Of
forty" not the man.
You seldom see a a of forty worrying about his bald spot or the
increasing rotundty OF his figure. Not but that many men would be more
pleasing to the eye II they did give a little lore thought, as they grow
older, to their personal appearance. But at any rate. few lose sleep about
believe they are doing work necessary to the worlds welfare, To others,
1t may not cen so very important; but to them, 1t is And so this period
Of forty passes them without finding them worrying over wrinkles and a
capactous waiHcoat.
And In this, too, Ia q thought for the woman who finds herself in q
frenzy at forty. Let her give ome attention to her appearance. But
Instead of making life a nightmare in a mad chase for beauty that cannot
be restored, let her cultivate those charms of mind and spirit that add
enduring beauty, and let her get for herself some absorbing interest In
life. Then the on-coming of socalLed age will scarcely be noted, and 1t
surely will bring no dread. Life will be filled by the passing of the years.
not emptied. Greater development and increased knowledge will come,
until the chrysans breaks and We pass OF % another existence with powers
ready for new growth.

BACON SCORES TAFT
FOR SENDING FORCE
TOQUELL REVOLTS
Georgia Senator Says Act
Was Without Legal
Authority.

ATLANTA, Ca. Aug Ex-senator A.
o. Bacon, of Georgia, today scathingly
criticised President Taft for ordering
American soldiers To Niaaragua. He
denounced Tafts order as contrary to
the Constitution and without any au-
thority of law
I'm my opinion the sending of from
1000 to 1000 troops consisting OF infantry
marines and armed sailors into Near
aqua by the President without authority
from Congress is not only without the
law. but absolutely in violation Oh the
lGw," said Senator Bacon.
"Of course 1t is recognized that under
certain circumstances small bodies OF
marines may be landed in a foreign
country, for instance, to protect Ameri-
can consulates, but that Is very diff
ferent matter from sending an army
into a foreign country to take sides be-
tween two contesting factions within
that country.
III 1900 to 1000 troops can be sent
why not 10000 or 10000 or any greater
number? The larger force could be sent
by him with equal propriety and JUS
tification into some other country, Mex
leo for instance. There Is just as much
authority for the President to send SO,
900 soldiers into Mexico as to send 3,OV
men into Nicaragua.
"If such action Is really necessary
then It is the duty of the President tC
report the matter to Congress and
have Congress authorize the movement
that duty is vested In Congress by the
Constitution and not to the President

cised by any one man and the Consti
