How to get the Habit of

But again. our method of sleeping
is not quite involuntary. because
there are many things We can do

way toward training ourselves to get

So many people get up morning

TO KEEP The HANDS NICE

To promote the softness and white
ness of the hands, use only mild.
emollient soaps, or those abounding
in oils. as such soap will cleanse
and heal. while the coarse alkalj
soaps used for the laundry will rem
der the skin dry and brittle. If the
hands are black and dirty, a very
little good laundry soap may be
used with warm water but JUST
as soon as the skin is clean. il should
be rinsed off, A small brush may
be used to scrub the skin with. where
there are seams and dirt. After
washing the hands, rub them dr.
with oatmeal before drying them.
There are so many ways to whiter
and soften the skin where the hands
are not used for hard. dirty work
but one of the best is to wear cotton
gloves whenever you are at work;
re sure the gloves are kept clean

IT is STRANGE.
That More People Do Not See Great
Pictures at Grand.

A most remarkable moving picture
is the drama of humanity-'Satan-
that is being shown at the Grand. All
the secret devices known in the max
ing of movies were employed by the
Ambrosio company in producing the
weird effects in the five thousand feet
of film
The color effects add much to the
general grotesqueness of the scenes.
From the time that Satan was defeated
by the angels of the Lord and thrown
from heaven the work of his terrible
destructive forces is shown. The part
of the picture which depicts the work
of his satanic majesty through the
mediums of alchemy and black art is
particularly interesting.
Another strong picture show viii be
given at the Grand next Monday ana
Tuesday.
There will be three reels of Parsl-
faI which according 80 advance notices
are particularly fine. Then something
new in movies: the human heart Will
