WOMAN PULLS DOWN
A STRAY BALLOON

Chicagc.-Mrs. Walter r. Smith, OF
1920 South State street, was grooming
her baby to sleep late the other after
noon on her improvised roof garden

heard series of yells from the
street. High overhead she saw 125

two men yelling little louder than

Mrs. Smith saw by the frantic ges-

her benefit. A moment later she saw
heavy cable, hanging from the dirigi-
BILE, come dragging over the fence
directly toward her roof garden. The
balloonists redoubled their yells.
Mrs. Smith promptly laid her baby

until, she landed with a thud against
picket fence at the side. That
would have been about enough for
most people, but it only made Mrs
Smith mad.
She caught fresh grip, braced both
feet against the fence, and yanked the
rope with ell her 1S5 pounds. Some.
thing gave, and she fed to the floor
with another thud. She caught An.
other grip, gave another yank, and the
balloon dropped easily down into q
nest OF telephone wires.
About then the zoe shouting specta-
tors decided it was safe to offer their
assistance, and came running into the
yard to hold tho balloon down. The
women wRa before them, and helped
the badly scared men, Horace B. WHO

to extricete themselves. They had
lost control OF the big ship and were
In danger OF colliding with building,

LIVE STOCK AS HOME GRAiN q
MARKET MAKERS.

In talking with Professor Hunziker.
Chief of the Department of Dairy Illus
bandry at Purdue, on the subject of
Live Stock on the Farm, as profitabis
market makers for the farm grain
products, the Professor gave the fol-
lowing interesting table on possible
corn consumption by dairy cattle alone
in Indiana.
He said: 81 have not the necessary
statistics within reach to estimate
what portion of the corn crop OF our
state is consumed by dairy cattle or
that by beef cattle, but take for tn-
stance, as an estimate, according Co
the United States census report for
1910, the corn crop in Indiana aver
aged 1913 bushels per acre. 1t is es-
timated that with this yield. that the
acre will produce about ten tons OF
corn silage. The average COW eats
during the year (about eight months}
six tons OF corn silage, containing
about twenty-three and one-half bush
els Of corn. The average cow possi-
bly, receives four pounds of corn meal
daily eight months of the year,
amounting to fourteen bushels of corn
Thus the total corn consumed per cow
in the State would average thirty-sev~
en- and one-half bushels; as We have
$4,000 dairy cows in Indiana, the dairy
consumption would amount to about
24,975,000 bushels annually.

LIGHTS KEEP HENS AWAKE
Street Lamps Bring Grasshoppers,
and Greedy Fowls Stay Up
20 EaS.

Oklahoma City.--John Sherwin, liv.
ing at 25th street and Shartel avenue,
has asked the city commissioners to
have the street lights turned off at
midnight for a rather uncommon rea.
son.
II want the lights turned or" said
he, $50 my chickens can get some
sleep"
Sherwin declares that every night
his chickens go out under the big
electric light at the corner and feast
on the grasshoppers that are attracted
by the big lamp that swings over the
middle OF the street. He has made
repeated attempts to drive them back
to roost, but they cannot be induced
to leave the feast.
Sometimes the chickens remain up
all night" said Sherwin, land go back
to roost about daylight. They are
drowsy all day aud the hens do not
lay"
Sherwin blames dissipated old
rooster for the decentralization of his
flock. He says the rooster was out
late one night and discovered the
grasshoppers. He CALAMITY called the
hens and they left the roost to answer.
Since then the hens have waited each
night for the light to be turned on and
the feast II brings them.

REQUISITE FOR BEAUTY
FINE COMPLEXION A THING
THAT is INDISPENSABLE.
Too Much Care Cannot BE Given &c
This Important Matter--Espe-
eially In Cold Weather 10
the Need Great.

The complexion should have the
best Of care at all times, but espe.
cially is this necessary during the
days of the late fall and when the
winds of winter begin to blow.
The change from the warm summer
days when the pores are open and the
skin relaxed to the raw weather that
shrivels up the skin and causes a
drawn feeling over the entire surface
Of the body. is very trying, and is
often followed by condition that re-
quires prompt treatment.
Feeding the skin is the first step,
and this must be faithfully carried
out. The action OF the wind. particu-
larly when it is driven against the face
by the rapid motion OF an automobile,
tends to dry out the natural oil and
leave the skin dry and harsh. Then,
too, the muscles of the face become
stiff and tense and these must be
made to relax and grow pliable and
elastic.
To accomplish these two require
ments nothing is necessary but a
good cleansing cream as first aid fol-
lowed by facial bath In very warm
water and ending with the use OF IA
nourishing cream which must be care
fully massaged into the pores. The
cleansing cream must be used always
upon coming indoors before any wa
ter is allowed to touch the face. The
nourishing cream may be applied gen.
erously and It should be used as
foundation for the protecting powder
before exposing the face to the wind
and weather.
Among the many directions that can
be given for the prevention of harm
to the complexion, none is more i'm
portant than the careful drying Of the
skin after using water, and the still
more careful rinsing after soap has
been used. These two rules admit Of
no deviation.
Never under any circumstances ex-
pose your face or hands to the cold
after bathing them without thorough
ly drying the skin. This does not
necessitate the use of rough towels OF
any unnecessary friction. Gently pat
ting the skin with a soft absorbent
towel is much better than severe rub
bling and to make sure the skin Is
free from moisture tiny bit of cream
rubbed into the pores, Immediately
after the drying process, is excellent
and is good preventive OF q
chapped surface. The careless habit
OF biting the lips must be avoided II
they are to be kept smooth and nice.
All that has been said about the
care of the face applies equally well
to the hands. In fact greater care
must be given them, as the hands are
in water so frequently. Plenty of
cleansing cream rubbed into the hands
before washing them, the use of a
soothing lotion Immediately after dry
ing them, and the very liberal appli-
cation of massage cream will pre-
vent the chapping which often occurs
when the cold begins to grow pene-
trating. Little time is required for
this daily care and much trouble can
be avoided by observing these small
details.

ANSWERS TO QUERIES.

Miss Elise ]. X: Even though you
are not handsome and magnetic, you
can still be a very attractive girl.
Keep yourself always we'll groomed
clearly and dressed in good taste. Be
cheerful and agreeable. Dress your
hair becomingly without attempting
any of the extreme styles which
usually make the prettiest face un-
attractive. Keep your complexion
clear, your eyes bright and your mind
free from morbid notions, and you will
find that you are quite as much sought
after as your friends who you think
have such an advantage over you, as
far as good looks" are concerned.
Friend: If you use powder every
day-either dry or liquid powder
you will find it absolutely necessary
to give your face thorough cleans
Ing at night, else the pores will be-
come clogged and the skin will grow
muddy looking Use cleansing cream
first, followed by facial bath in
warm water and mild soap. Rinse in
clear warm water and finish with a
dash of cold water. II the skin is
inclined to be dry, little of the
cream should be rubbed on after
wards. If there is a tendency to the
formation of wrinkles, nourishing
cream Is necessary, and IL there are
deep lines, wrinkle plasters are very
helpful In smoothing them out.
Inquirer: You would have better
success with your curling fluid II you
left out the glycerin entirely. Other
wise the formula is all right, and 1t
should make a very good mixture for
your purpose. There is nothing in 1t
which could cause the least harm to
the hair and you can use It every day
without fearing any ill results.
Mrs. william NJ: From what you
tell me in your letter, you need feel
no alarm about the condition Of your
hair. It does not fall out any more
than Is normal, and since 1t does not
seem to be growing any thinner, 1t
is probable just the dead hair which
Is dropping out and new hair is grow
ing in all the time.
