LAUGHING a Wrinkle Cure.


Laughing is one Of the very best
remedies for wrinkles. The old say
ing. Laugh and grow fat" is certainly
a good rule to observe, for laughing is
usually accompanied by a happy, care
free mind. and there is no better wrin-
kle eradicator than a contented dispo-
sition.
II is simply wonderful how smooth
and soft a face becomes If its owner Is
given TO frequent outbursts OF hearty
laughter. Smiling alone won't do.
Laugh with your mouth and eyes and
don't be afraid that it will spoil the
beauty Of your features. for it will not.
II may in course OF time produce dim
pied cheeks or chin, but these are a
much coveted possession and sure TO
increase and enhance ones beauty.
II ill health is the cause of wrinkles
the best and only thing to do is 70 con-
suit a doctor He will soon find out
what the trouble is and will treat you
accordingly And why should you wait
until the wrinkles have become so deep
and pronounced that it will be a diff
cult matter to remove themf
II the wrinkles were occasioned by
worry look the trouble square in the
face and see II II Is necessary to worry
to such an extent If there is not one
way out Of it. In nine cases ont Of ten
the trouble viii seem much reduced on
second sight, for no sorrow is so severe
that there is not at least one ray Of
sunshine to be got out OF It If one has
only the firm intention Of finding it.

Good Freokle Lotion.

For freckles there Is lotion which
Is very good indeed. II consists OF
chopped cucumbers or cucumbers cut
in slices with all the Juice in them.
They are then bound upon the face In
such a way that the Juice will dry on.
For freckled and chapped hands
there is a bath OF witch hazel and Gu
cumber Juice in equal parts. This can
be applied to the skin with a little
sponge After It has been on fifteen
minutes It can be washed Oh with
soap and water. for there is something
unpleasant about the incest lotion
when II is allowed to dry upon the
skin.
The summer skin is a matter Of much
anxiety, for in the summer all would
have a nice complexion, yet It is er
tremely dificult when the sunshine
brings its blemishes. and the verl
winds are laden with tan and freckles

PEKIN. Aug 2O-President Yuan

today to meet whatever trouble may
develop for him out of the execution
of Sun Vat Sens friends. Generals
Chang Tsen-Chu and Feng Wei, whom
he had shot last week when they ac-
cepted his invitation to come to Pekin
from up country to talk politics with
him. Strong forces of troops we're
on duty everywhere. The Presiden-
tial headquarters in particular we're
surrounded. Street gatherings we're
broken up scores of times during the
day. Members of the advisory coun-
Gil and of the national assembly, in
both of which there are anti-presiden-
tial majorities, were under surveil-
lance.
A reign of terror prevails in the
city. No prominent man of Republican
affiliations considers himself safe
Even though Yuan may hesitate to
arrest and have them executed with
a pretense of formality as calculated
TO aggravate the situation farther
they are afraid he will have his
soldiers attack their houses and kill
them, after which they think it likely
enough that he will punish the as
sassins
Confirmation Of rumors that Sur
Yat Sen has been killed is lacking
here, nor is the story believed. 81

is the concensus of opinion Yuan hat
made capital blunder, indications
are that he has brought about a tenn

Treating tho Hair After Sea Bathing

While salt and water very weak is
good tonic for the hair and scalp. sea
bathing with the salt left in the hair is
about the worst possible thing, and
this is the month when women go
down to the seashore and stay around
In. the surf hours at a time.
As daily shampoo with clear soft
water would soon take out all the lus-
ter and leave an almost dry scalp, the
best way to manage is to keep the head
covered, and the best thing for cap is
silk rubber cloth. This can be had
now in so many tints as well as pat
terms. checks, stripes, etc. that there is
no excuse for such a cap being unbe-
coming. But the cap should cover the
hair, and a narrow rubber run through
a hem will keep it in place.
After the surf riding or the swim the
hair should be let hang as long as pos
sible before being dressed, and il there
seems any dampness use little brush
"a toothbrush is goodwill a few
drops OF cologne. parting the locks at
inch intervals and rubbing the scalp
until it glows. But il there Is any salt
In the hair It will have TO be sprayed
out. This does not mean thorough
shampoo, but a good spray with per-
fectly fresh, clean water. first warm,
then cold. and a good rubbing after.
The idea Is TO get the hair dry without
the real washing entailed by regular
shampoo.
