the humble little home TO which the
stricken family had Just returned after

the eyes OF the father he certainly would
have realized what a world Of good the
money had done. To him the money may
not be much. but TO this father with his
four motherless children 1t will be a
blessing: besides this, in connection with
the many kind remembrances OF neigh

fact there is always a helping hand
somewhere ready to aid the stricken.

life picking up coal along the railroad
track, that the family might be kept
warm, some kind neighbor. during the
absence at the funeral Of what remains
OF the family. had left load Of coal, and
others had left bountiful supply OF
groceries, The father Is laboring man
and always works when work is to be
found, but like all Of his class conditions
make 1t impossible to keep far ahead OF
absolute necessities. even in the best OF
times. .-
During the cold weather in January he
had been unable 10 find employment and
family funds ran low. which necessltated
the picking up of stray Jumps OF coal.

tained a few days work and expected to
get his pay that night, In anticipation Of
which he told his wife she need rot pick
up coal that day for he would buy som'
at evening from nearby coal lard. The
wife, always anxious TO help, went oui
to pick coal just the same and the death
angel arrived ahead OF the pay check.

Ada T; Avoid all complexion creams
which contain oil. as they make the skin
shiny and cause hair TO grow on the lace.
BY stirring 2 teaspoonfuls glycerine and
one ounce almozoin into hspint cold

skin. II is unsurpassed for cleaning the
complexion and making It smooth and

Mrs. F. B.: Weight reduction is a very
simple matter. These old-fashioned theo-
