An Ant Remedy from Anti-Ant
Dear Miss Doom

Dear MISS doom.
| read in your column last Wednes-
day a number of suggestions and rem
edies for the destruction of red ants in
p~antries and iceboxes, and YOU asked
Your readers to send in any recipes that
they had used with success. l according
ly write you my experience. A couple
of weeks ago / was Mortified to find that
a colony of the insects had invaded my
refrigerator. | tried by securing. etc. to
Danish the pests. but with only indiffer-
ent success; the relief was only partial
and temporary. The ants make nests
and breed in the cracks of the. floor and
under the surbase, and sometimes, |
think. in the woodwork of the icebox it
self. These nests must be reached and
destroyed or the ants will multiply rap
idly. Finally 1 thought l would try Per
sian insect powder, and accordingly
s%prinkled it on the shelves of the re-
frigerator, especially on the lower one.
where the ants mostly congregated. and
rubbed the powder in the cracks of the
flooring and under the surbase. besides
strewing it under and in front of the
refrigerator. l used the powder liberal
ly. The results have been most happy (;
the ants have entirely disappeared and l
can once more breathe mo eat freely.
This remedy, judging by my experience.
is worth trying by anyone troubled with
the ants. Yours sincerely.
Thank you, Anti-Ant. 1 am sure
our readers who are similarly trou-
bled will be pleased TO try the rem
edy you Used SO successfully.

Treatment for Rough Skin

Dear Margery Doom:
Again | come to. you for your good
advice. Here of late my face seems
so rough and %chapped. L use a very
good face powder. which l think per-
feet; also, | rub a good cold cream
into my face two or three times a
F., week, but still my face seems rough
and chapped. Will you kindly tell me
What L could use to make my skin
soft and smooth?
Thanking YOU in advance and trust
inng to see my answer in the
Star soon, as l go on my vacation
next Saturday, and l would like to
follow the advice you will give me
before L go away. l remain, yours
sincerely, MISS r. H.
1t may be possible that the rough
ness of your skin is caused by some
internal disorder. If this is true the
treatment must be constitutional. Be
sure that all the organs perform their
functions with regularity. Remem-
Der that walking and a diet in which
vegetables and fruits are the main
constituents will do a great deal to-
ward keeping the liver, the cause of
so many complexion difficulties, in
good order.
Are you careful to rinse your face
thoroughly after washing 1t with
soar and to dry it with a towel that
is not too rough2 It may be that
soap is too drying for your skin.
While you are on your vacation
substitute almond meal for the soap.
You can purchase this in jars at the
drug or department stores for from
% to so cents. Make a paste of this
with warm water and rub 1t
thoroughly into the skin. Rinse the
face with tepid water and then with
cold water to which a few drops of
toilet benzoin have been added. A
bottle of benzoin is a necessary ad-
Ijunct to the vacation toilet. Inc
water in some localities is apt to be
hard and unless something is added
to soften it it will prove ruinous TO
the best compilations. Use a so1t
complexion brush for it is h only
thing that will keep the dirt from
clogging the pores,
The cream should be used not two
or three times a week. but at least
twice a day. Massage the face with
ii every night before giving it the
retiring bath. Always rub cream
into the pores before applying pow
der. If 1 were you would use very
little powder, just enough to TAXI the
shine off.
After the evening bath, try rub
bling the following lotion into the
skin: Lanolip, n ounce; almond
oil, one ounce; simple tincture of
benzoin, one-half ounce Mix the
three ingredients together thoroughly.
If you find after a couple of applica-
lions that the lotion does not agree
with your skin, stop its use. 1t would
be almost impossible to recommend
anything that would agree with
everyone.
Your rest, which will build up your
entire system, will have it's good
effect on your skin. Be sure, though.
that your rest really is asrest and
not a round Of excitement, which will
leave you nervous and tired at the
end of your vacation.

THE ROLE OF A
~CLERGYMAN'S WIFE

Mrs. Creighton, wife OF the late
Bishop of London, wrote the follow
ing description of her idea of the
sphere of a clergyman's wife;
The sphere of a clergyman's wife
is, of course. a more subordinate one
than that>of any other wife. 1t calls
for an absolute surrender of self.
Her first object must be to make the
surroundings of her husbands life
such hat he can do his work easily;
to make no claims upon him which
would interfere with or hinder his
work. Any help she car give him
should be known only to themselves
and God. At the outset she is called
to make a remuneration of that COM
plete sympathy and confidence which
is the ideal of a loving wife. That
remuneration should be faced and
bravely made; there must be no Curl
osity about her husbands intercourse
with others. | need not say there
must not be the least suspicion of
jealousy.
Any clergyman's wife who follows
this excellent advice will find 1t in
valuable, and she will never be de-
scribed like the too jealous wife of
the new rector as being the rector.
the director and the misdirector Of
the parish.

SCIOUSNESS KILLS
1 have found another letter among
the many that come to me, which
interests me greatly. 1t says:
My lear Miss Burke-I am a
girl of 10 and haven't a boy

boy hat l care very much for
told my girl friend that he cared
for me and would come to call
on me, but simply speaks. Please
write and tell me what L can do
to make myself more attractive
and to make the boys care for
me as they do other girls?
These are very hard questions to
answer, my dear girl, but from your
letter | am afraid you r rather
sensitive and self-conscious. You
probably are always thinking of the
effect o are making on the boy to
whom o speak, instead of saying
what you mean. Try and forget
yourself and enter into the CONVEX
sation If it interests o without
thinking of things to say hat you
think will please the young gentle
man to whom you are talking. Be
sincere and sympathetic.

thing which will be entertaining

are a graceful dancer, you might

CIRCUS DAY
Campbell Hr+Os. Circus Draws Big
Crowd in Lamar .

Today was an ideal circus day
for our people and was a boon al.
so for the circus. 1t was the first
real day they had had after long
hard winter in southern Texas,
and their stock and animals show
ed the effects. The show itself
had played in such hard luck, many
OF their engagements being cancel
led entirely and no place before
reaching Lamar did they get to
give both performances.
The day opened bright and
clear in Lamar and the streets
were soon crowded with a happy
and eager throng of pleasure seek.
ers. 1t was the typical circus
crowd, good natured, happy and
careless of risks. The schools held
morning sessions with the desks
of the boys mostly empty, but were
closed in the afternoon.
The parade began at 1880 and
was a fair spectacle of the kind,
the most disappointing feature be-
Ing the absence of the steam cal
Hope. 1t was followed to the
grounds by hundreds and hundreds
of people, who soon filled up the
seats at the tent. The menagerie
was not large but very good spec
linens, and the circus was one of
the best ever given here.
1t clouded up in the late after
noon and looked like rain but clear
ed later and they were able to give
good evening evening performa nce
also. 1t is a clean and well con-
Quoted show and deserves the lib
eral patronage received here.
