ADVICE TO
BEA UTY SEEK Frs

Agnes-No, freckles are not really disease and
their removal is quite easy and simple. First, be
sure to keep the skin always clean and well pro-
tected from sun AID wind. Then massage the
face lightly for few weeks with an ethical
proprietary preparation known as Wilson's
Freckle Cream. This may be obtained for SOC at
any good drug store or direct from the Wilson
Freckle Cream Co., Charleston, S. C. 1t is per.
fectly harmless and guaranteed.
Mrs. D. 7. S-A little dry salt rubbed into the
scalp every other night and then well brushed

not wash the hair too often.

Grams is urgently invited to attend the

that every one who is now a member

} indeed, be large and representative
one.
Very soon a report of the yariou!

JUDGES

JUDGES begin life as ordinary
babies, no offense meant, and af-
- forwards become regular boys and
common men, though some of them are
a blamed sight commoner than others.
There is nothing about a baby to in
dictate that he will become a Judge.
When he becomes a youth other boys
mingle with him freely, and sit on his
head with the utmost eheerfulness and
abandon. Even after he grows into
manhood his future is concealed so
carefully that people often slap him on
the back and sometimes on the Jaw as
if he were only a common citizen. But
suddenly, in the post meridian of his
life he becomes a judge and people
look at the spot where he was minute
before as other people looked at the
spot where Elijah stood when he tagged
the fiery chariot.
Some people claim that they can tell
when a man is going to become a Judge.
But they do not do it by looking at his
features. They happen to be well &C
quainted with some politician.
After a man has become a Judge he
is a solemn and awful person with a
perpetual headache caused by n over
hanging brow His duty is to sit be-
hind a mahogany pulpit in a court room
and decide that because the murderer
was indicted in words of two syllables,
instead of the seven syllable words
which are legal tender in court rooms,
he is not guilty and the murdered per-
son isn't dead after all 1t is also the
duty of the Judge to interpret the law
and to preside as referee over rival
attorneys and to instruct jurors, OF take
the case away from them if they are
not wise enough to decide it, and to
furnish politicians with something to
worship. After a man becomes a Judge
he is part of our great Judiciary and
can do no wrong. He may have been
appointed by red-faced ward boss as
reward for stealing ballot boxes, but
after he is appointed he is sacred and
the person who disputes his decisions
