GIRL TRIES SUICIDE
Niece of Witch Doctor Takes
Poison When Aunt Charges
Her with Theft.
LITTLE HOPE OF RECOVERY
Frightened on Eve of Wedding
When Told That Super
natural Agents Had
Singled Her Out.

Lipiza Cardiff. young Italian girl,
took poison yesterday on the eve Of her
wedding upon being accused of theft
BY her aunt. Mrs. Carmella Rubino,
once a notorious witch doctor of Grand
street. Little hope Of her recovery was
held at Bellevue Hospital.
Her fiance, Antonio Spurri, was So
distracted with grief that it was
thought necessary to keep a watch on
him. Mrs. Rubino was punished by a
fine of $500 in 1910 for practising med
icine without a license. When Magis-
trate Kernochan had heard the case
against her he said: Now l know
why they used 10 burn witches"
Just how much poison the girl had
taken could not De ascertained. She
did not tell of her act but about noon
Ers. Rubino's sister law. Mrs. An
toinette Silvinone, who is one OF their
household at No. 80 Grand street, was
struck by the girls pallor. Not only
was the girls change Of color startling
but as Mrs. Silvinone looked at her
she staggered and sank into a chair
She said she was all right but Mrs
Silvlnone. in putting her arms around
Lipiza TO support her, found a bottle
inside her waist.
The bottle contained bichloride Of
mercury tablets. Lipiza admitted that
she had swallowed some Of the tablets,
L.
many. DR.. Attilie Favorini was sum-
mcned in haste from his Office at No.
10 Macdougal street. He administered
an antidote and worked over the girl
until he believed that the danger was
past. AT o'clock in the afternoon
LipiZa's condition was evidently very
grave. and call was sent to ST Vim
cents Hospital. DR.. Dealy at once re-
moved the girl to Bellevue. where she
was entered as a prisoner, charged with
attempting suicide
1t was learned that Mrs. Rubino had
accused Lipiza of stealing $40, half 0f
her savings. which she kept in her
trunk. Lipiza said her aunt insisted
that no one else could have taken the
money. as the spirits had revealed her
as the guilty person.
Tho County Medical Society prose-
cuted Mrs. Rubino in 1910 for practis-
ing medicine without a license. on the
complaint Of Mrs. Leonora Buffano Of
No. % Wallace avenue, Jersey City.
Mrs. Buffano said that she and her
family paid Mrs. Rubino considera Bile
sums TO rid them of pains and various
other troubles that the woman told
her were caused by evil spirits, but
that Mrs. Rubino's remedies did not
have the desired effect.
The bill Of the witch doctor. accord
ing to the testimony Of the Buffano
family contained the following items:
Six powders TO prevent fatal disease.
at $40 apiece $50; charm to keep Leon
ardo Buffano faithful to his wife, $40:
advice to evict Carmella Palermo from
the Buffano household so that the fam
lily will remain healthy, $50; charm to
prevent the money-hungry devils from
returning 10 the Buffano house, s65,
and charm TO keep Mrs. Buffano faith
full TO her husband. SO. 1t was re-
marked that the husband paid only
half as much as his wife for a charm
for the purnoSa last mentioned

LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS
Keep a Youthful Profile
BY BLANCHE BEACON
familiar with their

Few women are familiar with their prohIes.
 Have you never started with. sur prise when the proofs of your photo graphs came home and among them was a profile pfcture2
 am sure it almost seemed to you as though you were looking at an un- known face. You never noticed be- fore that your cheeks were sagging a bit; that your chin has lost it's round ness; that there was a teI1-tale wrinkle just in front of your ear and a. rath- CT deep dent behind it.
 The age at which the profile of a woman is at it's best is between twen- ty-f1ve and thirty. At this time she still retains her youthful outlines, but her profile distinctly shows character. After thirty her features begin to change, but the change Is so gradual that for at least ten years not even her dearest friend hardly notices it.
 You cannot help your features changing, as every thought and exper- fence of your life irnprints itself upon your faces as surely as the sun prints your face on the photographic nega- tive. But with care you can make this change add a. richer and fuller beauty to your countenance.
 It takes a. woman a long while to realize that her exquisite eyes must grow smaller as she grows deshier, that they will look sunken and luster- lens when she allows herself to wor- ry over little things and for the same reason her mouth will fnperceptibIy sag from day to day. She must re- member that her chin will droop from loss of teeth which she does not think necessary to replace because they do not show when she opens her mouth.
 The woman who wishes to keep her profile youthful must never wipe her face with downward strokes, she must never allow her teeth, to close hard and she must think to keep her mouth curling up at the corners all ways. She must not allow herself the luxury of pampering her stomach with much rich food, as she will surely pay for it with two or three chins, thus destroying her profile forever.
 After forty a woman should dress her hair high. All the lines of her face should be upward. Dangling earrings will age woman's face ten

 The foregoing Is a scientific treat form an ordinary face into one of beauty-beauty of color, beauty of plumpness and beauty of health. A pamphlet to be found in the packages gives much advice which thoroughly endorse
 Mrs T. B. writes: 'I wish you would be kind enough to give me the tonic. I am losing my hair and it looks dull My scalp itches all the time.

Fill the bottle with soft, pure water shake well and apply with the tips of the fingers, thoroughly massaging the scalp. Also dampen the hair with it and you will soon note most beautt- full change. Avoid anything contain ing alcohol.
 Alice M asks: s'Do you think it safe to take som ething to reduce obe- sity? If so, what is best to use?''
 Answer: Very beneficial results are obtained by many of my friends who have used 5-grain phy-thyrin tablets, which are sold by most pharmacies in sealed tubes. Physicians of my ac- quaintance commend these tablets,a and I believe them to be the best reduc- ton remedy extant. Be careful of your diet, and take vigorous exercise if you do not wish to take medicine.

THE LAST TO FALL.

Some like the Hlacs on the bushz
 Full blown and new. Of course like 'em that way too, But then, I'd rather hold in hand, Or place upon a bedroom stand There spread to open view. The dandelions, some people say,
 Are common things; To me they herald whisperings Of blended ttnts in rainbow huesb From rambler reds to daisy bIuess Which every summer brings. Then buttercups, I guess it's true
 Most people pass As meekest flower of the grass, Though as for grace. I'm telling yor They quite excel the high blown hue Of those of richer class. The tIlistle-yes; the thistle mind,
 In form and shade, Though coarse, and rather honely made, Has in it lines exceeding neat. Which high born blooms can scarce compete.
 And live the last to fade. The lilies Of the field. I know
 Have highest call, And others, not to mention all, Are sought for finer, fairer mould, But naming every grace all told
 I love the last to fall.
