LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS
A Boric Bath for the Eyes
BY BLANCHE BEACON

Arrived at home, fill the tiny cup half full with the borhc acid and press it firmly into the eye socket. Now slowly bend your head back until 1t can go no further, then wink your eye twenty or twenty-five times in the healing, cleansing, beautifyfng liquid. The head should now be straigh tened, the eye-cup removed and it's contents thrown out
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1913-04-14

Eyes that sparke and glow are great ly admired, all you maids and ma irons who lack this mark of beauty should bestir yourselves in an effort to tmpart a pretty Iustre to eyes that are dull beyond compare. The way to obtain eyes bright as stars is to wash them out daily with boric acid.
 If you have never used this dainty eye-wasI-and of course you haven't,

tried creams and all kinds of remedies with no effect. I washed my face with hot water and Cutfcura Soap and put on Cuti- cura Ointment and let it stay on for five min utes. Then I washed it of with Cuticr1ra Soap. After using two cakes of Cuticurs Soap and two boxes of Cuticura Ointment my face was clear from pimples.'' (signeO Samuel Motel. June 19, 1912.

if the windows of your soul do not sparkle-then make it's acquaintance at once as it really does most effec- tive work.
 In addition to buying a three-ounce bottle of four per cent. solution of boric acid, purchase a glass eye-cup, as without this beauty tool you would have much ado getting the bOrtc solu tion into the eyes.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1913-04-14

When it is once more filled with boric acid, subject the other eye to the treatment outlined above, then rest from your labors.
 When the eyes are washed out in this manner three or four times every day, they grow much stronger and clearer, to say nothing of glowing like twin stars This is as much as could be expected of one simple lotion

LADIES OF CHARITY PLATED
 AT SUCCESS OF SEVENTH YEAR
Society Elects Mrs. John I. King to Succeed Mrs. M. H. Ford, Who Retires After
 Four Years As President
Mrs. w. E. Allen Elected Secretary-More Than $1 900 Left In Treasury After Completely Furnishing New
 Maternity and Children's Ward of Hospital

With reports disclosing one of the most successful years since it's organi- zation, and showing great accom- pliSh- Inent in the new maternity and chill dren's ward, the Ladies of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul held their seventh annual meeting at St. Vtncents hos pital, yesterday.
 Mrs. M. H. Ford, who has been president of the Ladies of Charity for four successive years, declined a re- | nomination to the presidency, pleading i the press of other duties. Mrs John T. King, one of the board of direc- tors, was elected to succeed Mrs. Ford, to whom a vote of thanks was ten dered by the society for her untiring efforts for the welfare of the organi- zation.
 Statements of the various officers of the organization, as well as the hos pita1 records opened for inspection during the meeting detailed interesting statistics of the growth of the scope of the hospital charitable work, and showed the important part the Ladies Of Charity have played in the pro- gress of the hospital since the society was organized, seven years ago. More than SIS, ,00O has been turned over to the hospital by the Ladies of Charity. During the year just closed, the new maternity and chi1dren's ward was entirely furnished by the society, which begins the year with a, balance
 
 ciety Is the providing of bed and body linen for the hospital, but in conjunc- ton with the hospital work, consider able outside charity is carried on.
 Mrs. M. H. Ford, the retiring presi- dent reviewed in her comprehensive annual report, the work of the society during the year, and referred in grate- full terms to the generous public re- Sponse to the Colonavi11a, the big charity entertainments held during the winter at the arnOry, through which upwards of $4, 600 was realized.
 Other reports submitted to the meet ing showed that the endowment of a free bed, one of the numerous accom- plishments of the Ladies of Charity, has been a very material aid to the hospitals extensive charity work. At times the free bed maintained by the Ladies of Charity has been occupied when patients for it's use have been received and other cots have been pressed into service. The total num- Der Of days that the Ladies of Char tty have been able to provide free bed treatment during the year was 375. showing that the endowed bed was continuously occupied, and other cots occasionally pressed into service.
 One of the surprising features Of the annual meeting was the statement that the hospital, during the year just closed, has given charity treatment-I for which funds have been received neither from the city nor from other sources-to no less than 43s patients

We understand that Chicago fans are
predicting that the name Of Charles w.
Murphy will be erased off major league
baseball within another year, more or
less, writes Jack West.
The owner Of the Chicago Cubs has
sailed from New York for a sojourn
In Europe, and tits said that the
followers of the national pastime are
not regretting the loss Of Murphy In
the least. Because the Cubs failed to
finish the 1918 baseball season better
than third. Cholly is enabled to go
about his business without creating
any too much excitement
We are also put hep to the fact that
Windy City newspapers have refused
to publish Murph's homemade press
notices, while some critics are positive
in their assertions that Murphy will
sell out his stock Of the Bearlets either
before or after the 1914 campaign.
Murphy was anxious to have pen
nant winning ball club last year. and
although Johnny Evers made as good a
showing with his team as could be ex-
pected, Charles w was not any too
much satisfied with the final standing
Of the aggregation representing old
Chi In the National league.
It seems as IL Murphy has made quite
a little money out Of baseball, and now
that the Chicago press is ''panning"
him he can afford to sell out and not
get any the worst of it.

Dudley Field Malone, the new col
lector of customs at the port Of New
York, was third assistant secretary of
state when named for the more impor
tant office He succeeds John Purroy
Mitchell, recently elected mayor of
New York city. Mr.. Malone was one
of the original Wilson men. He ac-
companied the president on many of
his prediction trips and made many
speeches in his behalf He was prom
inent on Mr.. Wilson's behalf at the
Baltimore convention and shortly after
Mr. Wilson's election was appointed
by the president to the department of
state. At that time Mr. Malone was
assistant corporation counsel of New

nent figure in the Democratic party of

The spruce is the Christmas tree OF
the world, and no wonder it has been
chosen for this purpose, for it is tall,
straight, handsome tree and holds its
branches up finely. The branches all
point upward, and the fresh, green
needles at the tips look like tiny can
dies
Instead of growing in punches like
those of the pine, its needles are ar
ranged in row along the stem.
East of the Rocky mountains we
have the black, white and red spruce,
so called from the color Of their leaves
Or bark; the Norway spruce and the

AS programmed two conventions
are TO be held in New Orleans Sat
urday, Nov. 20.
In one convention the Ransdell-
Humphries bill is to be considered,
and in the other the Newlands bill
is to be advocated, each aiming at
the securing of an appropriation by
Congress for the improvement OF
the Mississippi River and to estab-
lish system of levess for the pro-
lection of the States which sre an
nually threatened by flood.
1t is surprising that there is any
division on so important an issue,
which affects so great interests and
in which the welfare of millions OF
people are involved.
The Caucasian in review OF the
conditions, as they are, has suggest
ed the getting together of the two
conventions into one in order that
discord and contention may be
avoided and that the two resolve on
some action that will secure the
success of a project which is de-
pendent for success on the appro-
priation of s6O,OOO,0OO by Congress.
AS in unity of purpose and of ac-
ton there is strength, quibbling and
personalities should be avoided
