Mrs. G.: Powder covers up but
does not correct complexion faults.
Use this simple lotion and your skin
will assume its former youthful clear
ness and take on a charming tint.
Dissolve i ounces spurmaX in p pint
witch hazel Cor hot water) and pour
in . teaspoonfuls glycerine. Using
the spurmax lotion instead of powder
overComes the shiny, oily appearance
and gives to a coarse, lifeless skin an
exquisite fineness and healthy look.
Even in hottest weather it is only
necessary to apply the spurmax lotion
once day, because perspiration does
not spot it, and then, too, it is invis-
ible when on.
Madge w: I never advise the
electric needle for superfuous
growths. because delatone paste does
the work quicker, more thoroughly
and is devoid of pain. Mix some pow
dered delatone with water, then apply
to objectional hairs and after 2 or
minutes rub off. wash the skin and
the hairs are gone. This leaves the
skin smooth and firm.
A. b: Cutting the eyelashes is
dangerous. I would advise applying
pyroxin to lash-roots with thumb and
forefinger, as this makes them grow
long, curly and silky. Your straggly
eyebrows can be made to come in
thick and beautiful BY putting pyroxin
on with finger-end. Use caution and
don't get pyrOxin where no hair is
wanted.
V. NJ: Soap was never intended
for shampooing, because the free"
alkali il contains raises havoc with
the scalp and hair-roots. Use canth-
rox and you will find your dull
streaky, brittle hair win grow bright
and even in color and be Of a soft,
silken texture. 4 teaspoonful canth-
rox dissolved in a cup hot water IS
ample for delightful shampoo This
creates a wealth of rich, penetrating

A Delightful Trip

The classic little town of Oko. Iona has long been in the desire of our heart to visit, SO after makingall arrangements through friends, we took through ride" there Sunday, accompani- ed by Miss Dixie Dees. We reached there just in the nick o-time" (2:30) to hold our meet ing. And such an audience! It bespoke culture, up>to-dateness and a responsiveness such as is not common to every such gather. ing.
 After Miss Dees gave her usual soul-uplifting talk, the writer explained that her re- marks must be welded into an active, living force for righteous ness and appealed for an organi- zation, whereupon the gifted layman who spoke for the Pres colt people just proceeding the election and at many other places also arose and in a few strong d convincing arguments, clinched what we had said and then at the close of the meeting, such a response. We pinned the little white bow over many loyal heart and we feel sure that Okolona can and will be the ban ner Union of the state as she was the banner city for righteousness in the recent election.
 We cannot refrain from saying that the music furnished for the occasion would do credit to any town much larger than Okolona, and when the Soloist rang out notes of Victory" as we've heard on several National plat forms, we felt assured that God is in the march of the nations and victory is ours as soon as we convince His children, who have already profes sed His name, to say so.

Second Snyder Letter
Pollard,
Secretary.


Hon state Insurance Board,
Austin, Texas,
Gentlemen: Your esteemed favor Of
the 16th instant has been received
and contents carefully noted
We are very we'll aware of the
fact that the method used at arriv-
ing at the key rate for Snyder is the
same as used for other towns in the
State. What we attempted to point
out to you was the seeming injustice
done in the application Of tho stan
dard set by you
It is quite clear to us that It is
quite possible for a standard 20 be
set that will not work this injustice
and that will work the same for all
towns ia the state. IL is not there
fore sufficient to say that you are
merely following the standard set
when there is something wrong with
the standard that can be easily rem
edied
We take the liberty 10 suggest "a,
least one plan of remodyins this de-
feet, which to our minds win easil
work. Instead OF multiplying The
entire population of the town by the
estimated consumption of 40 gall
Ions daily, multiply the population
of the town that receives full key
rate credit In the rates made by the
10 gallons and in this way you will
arrive at actual conditions, on which
rates are made instead Of imagin-
airy It is a very easy matter TO get
the required data from the water
department upon which to make the
figures.
We would be glad TO hear from
you again as we are not satisiie
with the condition as it now exists
Very truly yours,
Baker, Grayum and Anderson
