FATE SIMILAR TO "a
that OF VICTIM

IHOIner TeQuce her flesh! 10 What
is good for chapped face and hands?
ANXIOUS E. l.
ID In each case soak the dress and
wash 1t thoroughly in about a gallon
of gasoline. (2) The best way to re-
duce flesh is to diet and exercise.
Avoid sweet, fatty and starchy foods,
and heavy eating, and walk a great
deal. CD An excellent remedy for
chapped skin is the following prescrip-
ton: One ounce glycerin; two ounces
bay rum; twenty drops carbolic acid:
one-fourth ounce extract of white rose.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Please tell
me how much a Lincoln penny with
initials on it is worth. (2) When will
one-half pennies come out? ROY.
% The Lincoln pennies with ini-
tials on them are worth only one cent.
(2) Nobody knows whether half cents
will ever be coined. There has been
some talk of doing this, but nothing
definite has been done.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: ~ Will you
please tell me what games to play
at party to be given for both young
and old by ladies' bible class? (2)
How should the invitations be worded?
L. NJ. D.
Peanut hunts and potato races al
ways afford amusement. If the party
lis given around Easter little candy
eggs might be used instead Of pea
nuts. Then games such as wink"
going to Jerusalem hide the Thin
Bile" Ruth and Jacob" would be good.
If you wish to know about any of
these games send me an addressed,
stamped envelope and mention the
games you wish to have described.
(2) Formal invitations are not needed
for sociable affair You might send
out announcements telling simply who
is giving the party, where it is to be
held, and when, and extending an
invitation in a cordial manner.

ADOPTING WHITE MEMS WAYS,

That the Indian, once divcStcd of his racial tribal superstitiOns and given opportunity to make his own way, is capable of be- coming as descent and sclf-sup- porting as men of any other race, IS being illustrated anew ill Alas ka, a territory which has pre- riously, in the experiences at New Metalakatlah, shown what the h. dian can do i'll this direction.
 A new village has been formed at Hydaburg by young Indians of the Hydah tribe from the villages of Howkan, Klinquan and Kasan. These insurgents insist on fol- lowing the ways of the white man, despite the efforts of the older rhicftains to keep up old tribal customs and practices.
 At tlr new village a regular municipal government has been established, under the laws of congress. With regular articles of incOrpnrali and a full set of officers, all, with one exception, Indians. The Indians of the vil- laEc have Incorporated a trading company and established stores, they furnishing the capital from ihrIr nWIl savings from work as fishermen and in other capacities. They have put in Il stock of goods and entered upon regular buSi- ness
 A lumbrr company iS being or GaniZ"d and a SawmiII will be among the first industries of the town. A cold storage plant is al- so in contemplation There arc twenty-five houses under con sirurtinn. with a nunnbrr of the inhabitants sill living in irnlS.
 These Indians have. in inc fish cries, a means of subsistence and also Of securing q margin of say nEs for further brtirrmrniS. som" Of them already own DOW "r boats. and others have, at worst, good canoes in which to carry on their vocation. Some are tradesmcn and mechanics.
 Starting as they do, and look ing upon what New Metalakatlah has done, it is almost safe con- cluSion that this new village will be thriving and prosperous one, comparing favorably with white settlements in most rcspcctS.-- OSt-Intclligencer.

ident of the National Old Trails
Road Association and Col. Dell
Patter Vice-president for Ari-
2ona were here six weeks ago,
The people at a mass meeting at
The court house voted that it
was the sense Of the meeting
that 5000 members ought to be
enrolled here, one half of the
annual dues of $1.OO to be paid
to the National Association and
one-half to the Lexington Old
Trails Association. Some of
the women of Lexington have
taken the matter in hand and
are now carrying around the
Roster Books of the Association
soliciting membership. The Nat
ional organization has been
maintaining offices in the Mid
land Building, Kansas City,
has been publishing maps, per-
fecting organization in the states
and working to secure state
and federal recognition for this
highway. It is a great work
and our people ought to help
it along not only to the small
amount of the annual dues,
but they ought to be enrolled
so that their names will count
in all efforts to secure state and
federal recognition for the
enterprise. The Association is
Incorporated, The officers are
under bond, and some Of our
home people are directors in the
Association. Let everybody
take membership in the Asso-
citation.

Advertiser in New Quarters.

The Daily Advertiser took up
its new abode Monday in the
room vacated by Naylor broth
ers, directly across the street
from the old quarters. Sam,
while a progressive in every
thing but Moose meat, believes
in getting on the sunny side of
everything. The close prox-
unity of a meat market, he be-
believed, had a bad influence on
his "devil, " and rather than
contribute to his majesty's evil
influence, he moved to a former
undertaking establishment, where
the shadow of old habitues might
keep the Imp on the square.
Good luck, Sam. Get married
and be happy.
