Recipes for Wrinkles
and Bad Compilations
(From Art and Nature.)

(FrOm Art and NaJure.)
OF all the beauty recipes in my scrap
book, here are two that have always
given complete satisfaction:
Wrinkle Remover-One ounce powd-
cred saxolite, dissolved in II pint witch
hazel. Use as a wash lotion. It brings
instantaneous results
Face Peeler-Pure mercolized wax
applied at night like cold cream, only
not rubbed In; wash off in the morn
ing. 1t causes the worn-off scarf skin
to come off in tiny, almost invisible
flakes, a little each day, until the fresh
young under-skin is wholly in evidence
The beautiful rose-tinted complexion
thus obtained is not to be compared
with one made over with cosmetics. An
ounce of the wax is sufficient.
The ingredients named are inexpen-
siye and can be found in any drug
store-Louise LeBlapc.

Story of the Surrender.

Maj. G. G. Taliaferro, Of Roanoke,

history of any living man connected
with the close of the war between
the States. Colonel faliaferro and
Col. Walter Fl. Taylor, of Norfolk,
are the only two men now living

left flank was turned, we had to go
to Buckingham. General Grant sent
a flag of truce over to General Rob

but wanted to know what terms he
would suggest for the surrender,

he might make his terms. Then Gen

parole all of his men and let them go
home and give them their side arms
he would consider It, and General
Grant accepted that condition.

a sword was when General Grant

HOUSTON REBUILDING AS
RAPIDLY AS BURNED

Houston, TeXas.-An example Of
how the progressive American city
RECEIVERS from a blow is evidenced in
the rapdity of Houston rebuilding in
the burned district of 40 city blocks,
devastated in a $6,000,00O fire Feb
ruary 21. In little over week fol-
lowing the fire over 200 building per-
mits had had been issued for new
construction in the burned district,
while owners of Industrial plants de-
stroyed already are drawing plans for
larger and moe commodious plants
and all fieproof.
Immediately following the fire at
the urgent request of the chamber of
commerce the city council extended
the fire limits to include the 16
square miles of the Houston city linn
its. The ordinance prohibits the plac-
ing of anything but fireproof roof
ing on all new construction.
During the February fire great ha-
voc was caused by sparks being car
ried in the 40-mile wind to the roofs
of houses several blocks distant Had
the roofs been fireproof it is believed
the fire could have been confined to
relatively small area.

paid IN FULL" IS
PLEASING DRAMA

a strong, gripping play was Paid
in Full" which was presented to a
rather small audience at the Oregon
Theater last night and those who
witnessed it took away memories that
will 1inger long. 1t was the realism
of the piece that found a response
in the hearts of the hearers and
which raised the play above that of
the common present-day drama.
Built as it was about the fall of
trusted employee, it is contemporane-
Gus with the modern age, one when
every newspaper tells of absconders
and embezzlers. To the audience it
reflects the motive which prompt
young men to steal from their en-
ployers showing them from the
standpoint of both the employee him
self and from that of his employer
and teaching the wholesome lesson
that a mans standard of living should
be cut to the measure of his salary
and that cheerfulness under existing
conditions coupled with conscienti-
Gus effort to rise constitute COM
bination that eventually wins, and
vice versa.
The third act of the play was es-
pecially strong and when the curtain
was rung dwon upon it, the players
were forced to respond to curtain
call after curtain call. II was in this
act that the strength of a good wo-
man and the admiration of rough
manhood for such strength was. por-
trayed and the situations were ad-
apted to good acting.
The cast was perfectly balanced
devoid of any brillian stars but COM
posed of a galaxy of artists more
than average in their ability. 1t was

probably caught the firmest hold or
