To Keep the Skin in Fine
Condition in Summer
From the Family Physician.)

1t would be much better for the skin
II little cream, powder. or rouge were
used during the heated term. Mixed
with perspiration. dust. and CRIME. these
things are anything but beautifring.
Ordinary mercoiized wax will do more
for the complexion. and without giving
an oily. shiny, streaked. spotted or
pasty appearance. 1t Is the ideal appli-
cation for the season, as 1t not only keeps
the pores clean, but daily removes par
ticies of scarf skin which have been
soiled by dirt or weather. BY constantly
keeping the complexion clear. white, and
satiny. 1t does more toward perpetuating
youthful countenance than any of the
arts or artifices commonly employed.
One ounce of mercolized wax. obtainabls
at any drug store, will completely reno.
vate the worst complexion. 1t is applied
at night like cold cream and washed OF
in the morning.
To keep the skin from sagging or
wrinkling, or to overcome such condi-
ton. there's nothing better than a face
bath made by dissolving 1 ounce pow
dered saxolite in u pint witch hasel.

summer season is closing in a

~He summer season is closing in a
blaze Of glory among the society
people Of the country, for no
matter where they are, they are
surrounded with sayeties such as will
make this season a long-to-be-remem-
bered one in the social history Of the
country. Bar Harbor has been exchang-
ing festivities and celebrities with Now
port, and Newport has encroached con-
siderably upon the prestige Of Bar Har-
bor as the rendezvous for Ambassadors
and other diplomats during the summer.
Bar Harbor and the North Shore have
long been the favorite vacation spot for
this interesting circle.
The retiring Ambassador from Austria
Hungary and Baroness Hengelmuller
were probably responsible for the begin
ming of the popularity Of Bar Harbor
among the corps. for they have estab-
Ished the summer embassy there for
many seasons; in fact. each season they
have remained in this country. 1t has
been their habit to go there for the ear
iy part Of the summer. and they were
usually the earliest arrivals and the first
OF their set 20 close their embassy here.
Then they would go to Lenox for the
late summer and early autumn, and be-
fcre returning to the embassy here
would, as a rule, make their visit to
their own estate in Austria in the early
wi.4ter. Recently the baroness and her
young daughter have remained there un-
I'll the season here was well on the way,
or about over, as the baroness has taken
little part in the social affairs Of Wash
ington, where she made herself such a
factor for many years. She has always
felt much attached to the life and peo-
pie here. as some Of the greatest events
and incidents of her life have come to
her during the Ambassadors service in
Washington.
Their only child Baroness Mila, now
about fifteen years old. was born here.
The Ambassador was made an Ambas-
sador and afterward created a baron in
1902 after a considerable service as
Minister, and the baroness had the high
est honor and title for a woman within
the gift of her Emperor conferred upon
her during these last few years OF her
husbands regime at this post She will
be greatly missed and sincerely re-
GREETED.
The rumors which have fioated about
for some time rega:d ding the transfer of
Baron Hengelmuller. who has been dean
of the corps for little more than a year,
becoming at last a reality leads many
of that circle to speculate upon the
other rumors so rife in the corps. Bar
on Hengelmuller's successor as dean,
NJ. Jusserand, the French Ambassador.
has long been the subject of transfer
rumors. He has served his country
here for the past nine years and a half,
and his departure would be keenly re-
GREETED, particularly as his promotion to-
dean would bring an American woman
The Washington herald., 1912-08-25
to the head of the Diplomatic Corps as

hostess
Mime. Jusserand. although Paris raised
and educated. is a Boston woman. and
there Is every wish to see her maintain
the dignities of that position for long
time, dignities which she Is so well able
to grace. Should the Ambassador be
transferred. however. the British Am
bassador. Mr.. James Bryce, would come
to the head of the corps. and rumors
have been so thick and fast regarding
his early departure from this post that
1t is difficult to believe there is little in
them. In case they develop into fact
the German Ambassador. Count Won
Bernstorff, would succeed him as DEAN
and he was all but transferred by the
dispatches from abroad the past few
months. Should this rumor also prove
to be casting OF the shadow before and
Count Won Bernstorf no. return to
Washington, the Turkish Ambassador
would become the dean OF the corps.
should he still be here 1t is most inter-
esting to note that the women who pre-
side over these embassies are all Amer
lean women, born in this country, with
the exception of Mrs. Bryce. who is of
English birth. but who has many Amer
lean relatives.

Horticultural Meeting.

The Boone County Horticultural
Association held its last meeting the
14th of December. The program
was devoted mostly to the discus.
sion of the Agricultural Extension
School, everybody present seemed to
realize that if the school was attend
ed as it should be that it would
prove the most important move
ment that had ever been made in
Boone County for the advancement
OF agriculture,
All branches of agriculture are
more or less interdependent and all
present realized that each one must
work for the advancement of gen.
eral agriculture and animal hus-
baudry as well as for horticulture
Three bills which we are informed
will be presented at the next session
Of the legislature were discussed and
favorably passed on. These were
the bill to provide for the inspection
offoreign nursery stock for the pur-
pose of preventing the introduction
of injurious insects and diseases,
particularly the gypsy and brown
tail moths; the bill to conserve the
natural resources Of the state, the
portions relating to the protection
of birds beneficial to the agricultur.
list and horticulturist were especial
ly considered; and the bill providing
for the farther teaching of agricul.
ture in our public schools.

Longfelow has used one of these
stories in King Olaf's Christmas. y
Another, in which real religious fer
vor and moral heroism play part, Is
the story Of the first Christmas cree.
There stands at Altenbcrgen, in
northern Germany statue erected in
1871 In honor OF Saint Boniface and
the place OF the statue Is said to be
the site Of the first Christian church
in north Germany.
Boniface, who must not be confused
with any Of the nine popes who bore
the name, was a Briton by birth, and
his name was Wynfrith, Declining
high ecclesiastical honor, he chose to
be a missionary to the rude tribes OF
the German forests. OF these tribes
Tacltus tells us; and we know that
they we're implacable In war and
bloody in their worship, but that
among their virtues was marked
purity OF private life and love OF
home.
Each year these people sacrificed
to their gods. One Of their holiest
shrines was great oak at Gelsmar,
There they gathered at midnight at
the winter solstlce, and offered a fair
lad as a sacrifice TO call back the re.
treating sun.
Thus they were assembled at the
Yuletide In tho year 72t. As the mid
night approached, an old priest raised
the hammer to strike down the child,
when Boniface interposed strong
arm and an eager word. He told them
OF a child who was born seven hun.
bred years before and how he show
ed to men that they need offer no
more bloody sacrifices lie told them
OF the love OF God and the beauty OF
his service The stern men heard and
believed Urged by the heroic mis-
sionary, they hewed down the dark
thunder-oak, the scene OF 30 many
sacrifices,
The legend says that when the tree
fell II left young FIR growing be-
tween tho shattered branches, and un.
broken by their fall Boniface told
them to take that tree to their ban
quoting hall; to serve God with Joy
and feastIng; and to take for their
Yule tree this one, with roots un'
