EXCELLENT FOR TENDER SKIN
Victim Of Sunburn VIII Find Relief
In This Preparation, Which Is .
Homo Remedy.

A preparation that will suit most
tender skins or skin that has been
sunburned is made by mixing togeth-
er four ounces of pure almond meal.
an ounce of powdered orris. two
ounces of powdered CASTLE soap, one
half drachm oil of bergamot, four
drops of bitter almond oil and quar-
ter Of drachm Of extract Of musk.
Only tepid water should be used on
the skin and after wetting 1t rub on
some Of the above preparation In
stead of using soap, using the hands
to make the application because q
wash cloth usually causes friction and
this, added to a sunburned skin,
would make 1t sore and tender. More
water Is used and the skin is cleansed
with the hands and finally rinsed sew
eral times and with old soft towels
patted dry. Then mere suspicion
of cold cream is massaged into the
skin and SO left for the night.
Any girl or woman who will be
careful to protect her skin and care
for It as just described even though
It IL naturally Of dry texture Will
not burn or tan nearly as quickly as
Will the girl with the oily skin. One
would think that girl with oily skin
would not burn as readily as the girl
with the dry skin on account OF suf1-
oient oily moisture, but nevertheless
It has often been proven that she
burns even more quickly. Why this
II 30 Is because Of the difference In
the skin tissues.

SYNOPSIS.

For fifty years the continent Of North
America had been isolated from the rest
of the world by the use of Trays. q won

USED STRATEGY
TO SAVE negro

Cairo, Ca, Aug Ed LaConte, who
attempted to murder the entire Bodi-
ford family is now in the cambridge
Jail He was chased by posse in
Whigham, little town seven miles
west of here, seeking some one to su :.
render to. He was taken in charge by
John Knight, deputy sheriff, and a
northbound passenger train being
then about due, he was rushed below
Whigham, while arrangements were
made in Whigham for the train to stop
and pick him up. He was landed safe
ly in the cambridge Jail
Posses later formed in Cairo and
left for cambridge to take the negro
from the Decatur county Jail, but
learned before reaching there that
authorities had rushed the negro TO
Arlington in an automobile, where ne
was put on a Central of Georgia train
and carried to Albany, where he can
be protected by troops, if necessary.

WHAT WILL BE EFFECT
OF CONLEY'S TESTIMONY!
That is The Question Being Asked in
Atlanta Recently.

Atlanta Ca, August 5.-The ques-
ton which absorbed every moments
conversation in Atlanta today was
would the fierce grilling of Luther Ros-
ser break down the wonderful story
told on the stand by Jim Conley, the
only reputed eyewitness against Leo
Frank, charged with the murder OF
Mary Phagan. If Conley's story is true
Frank is not only a brutal murderer,
but a degenerate of the worst type,
If untrue, Conley is the greatest liar
ever on Georgia witness stand and
so the defense holds-is himself the
slayer of Mary Phagan.
Conley bore up we'll under the OPP
ening ross-questioning by Mr.. Ros-
ser, sticking faithfully to his original
statements, never wavering, never
faltering, refusing to be trapped into
making conflicting statements. He de-
scribed wildly the alleged incidents of
the fatal day, repeated his testimony
in former affidavit that Farnk had
got him to carry the body to the base
ment and had paid him So and promis-
ed more if he would keep his mouth
shut.
The most startling features of the
|negro's testimony are unprintable. He
claimed to have seen Frank in situa
lions which would prove him vicious
degenerate, and the state claims it will
introduce witnesses to substantiate
the negro's evidence along this line
The hundred women in the courtroom
hung their heads as the negro recited
this part of the testimony, and Mrs
Frank hung her head in shame.
| 1t is the general opinion that upon
Conley's testimony rests the fate Of
Leo Frank. If the jury credits the no
gro's words, then there is slight chance
for anything but a conviction.
