KEEPING THE SKIN FRESH

The modern girl and woman has a tough problem to solve in keeping her skin fresh. Our grandparents may not have had a beauty parlor at every corner, but they did not have scot ladened air and alum-hardened wa
 ter.
 It covers a multitude of feature de- ficiencies to have a fine skin and col
 bring. Yet nothing is so hard to achieve-naturally- harder to keep
 when blessed by nature.
 The modern girl, with her zeal for
 an open-air life and love of athletics,
 forgets all about her skin until it be-
 gins to go; then she is agitated and rushes into all sorts of foolishness in complexion cures.
 What is needed is ordinary precau- tion and common sense every day. In many families there are skin To- tions handed down from one genera tion to another, and the women of that family are sure to be noted for their good skin. If not lucky enough to have such a lotion, every girl should find some one thing that agrees with her skin and then stick to it.
 There is no bigger mistake than to try every skin remedy recommended The girl who would keep her skin in good condition first considers her di- gestion. With a poor stomach small fortune may be spent on complexion cures in vain.
 Exercise is another potent complex | ion maker. Let the circulation grow sluggish and the skin is sure to suf- | fer. A brisk walk every day, espe- cially on rainy days. is worth a dozen | lotions for foundation work. Cleanliness is an essential factor 1T | a good skin. The badly washed face soon shows it.

MIR. HILL SMILES AT RElLLY'S IDEALIsM

The distinguishing feature of the stand pat element in government is its lack of sensibility. Current press report says that when Rep. Thomas L. Reilly gave to the House the news that Rep. Ebenezer J. Hill is strongly interested in woolen manufactures, the latter gentleman only smiled"
 The implication of MT. Reilly that q legislator ought not to be drafting bills to effect industries in which he has a peculiar and private interest, did not strike responsive chord in the sensitive soul of MT. Hill. There fore he smiled.
 To MT. Hill it seemed preposterous that anybody should see impropriety
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-04-01

in one trusted with public power using it for his own advantage. For what is a man elected to office except to help himself and his friends?
 MT. Reilly is an idealist. Practical men will continue to look upon MT. Reilly with pity. When he has been in Congress a little longer he will un- derstand that the lofty notions of pub lie duty which he entertains became obsolete shortly after the death of Abraham Lincoln.
 MT. Hill is an officer of a company engaged in woolen manufactures. He is also member of congress. Why shouldn't Hill the statesman look out for Hill the manufacturer? Why not, indeed?

A SHABBY LEGISLATIVE TRICK

the situation moved to reconsider, and the motion to reconsider was tabled, with the result that the bill is in the air between the houses. The assem blyman says that his oppisition is due to efforts made to defeat him by the women of his district in the last election. The women denounce the tactics used by the assemblyman and Speaker Merritt as grossly un- fair, which, of course, they are. The thing is a legislative trick, and a pretty shabby one at that.

COAL STRIKE SETTLEMENT

The outlook is hopeful that a coal strike with its attendant disturbance of industry may be avoided. At the eleventh hour the operators show. disposition to come to terms with their men. This disposition upon the part of the mine owners will be found more than themselves.

daring woman rider who ever sat in

youngest member OF celebrated
family Of equestrtans this season
with Barnum and Bailey's greatest
circus. which on Thursday, July H.
will pitch its tents in olarksburg for
"a days stay. Miss with is slen-
der sylph like girl of twenty with
nerves Of steel and a seeming indif-
ference to danger that makes the
most courageous shudder. Miss
Wirth rides like man as we'll

country has never before seen.
mo reckless Rio Grande cow

gerous beast than the horse she
iconquers and rides. No drunken
Indian ever rode more Tecklessly :.
There is an art to her daring that is
bewitching. To see this slight and
rosy slip OF a girl successfully resist
the murderous intent OF a horse
that strong men fear, is a sight to
revive the spark of gallantry in a
confirmed old bachelor.

OF the celebrated equestrians are the
famous Davenport family, Fred
Derrick, Ella iBradna and. Charles

america has ever seen any of these
1peopIe ride. This is their first sea-
son in this country. They are the
stars of their profession in France,
Austria, England. Germany, Spain,
Italy and Russia. They give a
highly interesting exposition of the
Characteristic riding of the people of
the earth. A sample OF American
rough riding is offered by Tony Mar
tiposa, known as the 'whirfwind OF
the Rio Grande."
In addition to it's riders this cir
Gus has superior attractiveness in
every other way. The acrobats,
clowns, aerialists, gymnasts and
tumblers are also the worlds top

tiful and the most skiI1fuI woman in
the world, Miss Sandwina is only
80 years Of age, yet she is stronger
than any man ever exploited by a
circus. Her act is a great surprise.
