gins" some wise and some foolish. lie

now On this account and not by their
own superior wisdom the wise virgin class

BETTER THAN ANY COSMETIC
Combination Of Repose and Reiaxa-
ton Is tho Only Beauty Secret
That Is Worth Knowing.

There is a beauty secret, not found
in cosmetics, and which does not lin.
ger in the perfume-laden hangings Of
the parlor Of the masseuse. 1t is q
secret which any woman can possess,
and its magic effect is almost In.
stantly noted. The secret is merely
combination of repose and relaxa-
ton.
A restful woman always appears to
advantage. There is culture in a re-
pose of manner that makes itself felt
both at home and in public There
Is a suggestion Of reserve intellectual
strength, more impressive than the
uneasiness of the woman who feels
that her tongue or her body must be
in motion to let the world know she
is in it.
At the same time, the wear and
tear will leave the marks of strain
on complexion and figure, which no
creams or lotions can remove. To
grow old gracefully and beautifully,
learn to take things easy. Repose is
more beautilyng than rouge, and re-
Taxation more bodybuilding than
massage.-Leslie's Weekly.

FARMERS WARNED AGAINST

there is no available plant food Of
any kind in the material. State

more plant food per ton, while our

Draped Lace Tunlcs,

Although, perhaps, the lace tunic
has a tendency to age its wearer, 1t
has compromising merits which rec.
ommend it to women of middle age
and even younger women who have a
tendency to stoutness. For the close
fitting pointed tunic of black lace cut
with the upper part in the form OF a
coat tends to make the figure LOOK
elm In a manner that many, alas, find
eminently desirable as years come
fast upon them.
The favorite lace employed is Chan.
tilly, and when one knows how to
drape artistically nothing can be more
elegant. On the contrary, nothing
can be dowdier than drapery which
seeks to be artistic and fails lament
ably In the attempt.

A DISGRACE

II would not send q child to the

E. v. Whitaker, Judge Of the coun-
ty court of Hillsbcrough county and

Gently, he had number of rather
bad boys before him. After hearing
the case against these boys, JUDGE
Whitaker said to a Times man, who
was commenting on his statement,
that the State rcformatory was a
disgrace to the State and not cal.
culated to carry out its mission.
At the present time there Is stop
ping in this city G. A. Ball, who is
the manager Of the State reforma-
tory at Mariana. Yesterday after
noon this same Times man met Mr..
Ball and during the course Of con-
versation told him what Judge
Whitaker had said.
Judge Whitaker is right" was
the immediate reply of Manager
Ball, "thc State rcformatory is not
a place in which to ira u children
who have shown a tendency to be-
come inccrrisible. / have done my
best to bring about a change in
conditions there but my efforts have
thus far been useless, even though
I have directly applied to the Legis-
lature Of the State In an effort to
