A New Way to Use
Buttermilk for Beauty
tFrom The Woman Beautifully

(From The Woman Beautifully
There's new way to use buttermilk
which Is said to work real wonders
for any complexion. While the re-
juvenating effects OF buttermilk are
well recognized, the treatment is not
without Its disadvantages. For In
stance, the liquid, properly fermented.
is not always easily obtainable; and
many do not like It's odor Some
emollients, creams and pastes are OBJ,
jectionable because they leave the
skin oily, or because OF the presence
of certain acids or drugs. Buttermilk
soaps should be tabooed for the
same reason every soap should. Aka
lies and other things in soap are not
good for any skim.
The new presolated buttermilk
paste overcomes all the objections
named. A generous coating Is ap-
piled at night, being rubbed in gently,
and washed off in the morning with
cold water. This is more cleansing
than any soap, and won't clog the
pores. Presolated butterm TX paste
(obtainable at any drugstore) may be
applied to face, neck, arms, hands, OF
wherever It Is desired to have akin

NAUVOO WOMAN
DIES FROM BURNS
Mrs. Charles Reimbold Suffered Ter
rbIe Accident Monday Morning
and Sucoumbs Tuesday.

NAUvOO, Ill, July 24.-The most
horrifying accident that has occurred
in Nauvoo in many years was that OF
which Mrs. Charles Reimbold was the
victim Monday morning in which she
sustained burns which resulted in
her death Tuesday morning.
Mrs Reimbold had carried her gas
oline stove into the cellar basement
preparatory to washing some cloth
ing. This was about $40 o'clock.
She usually generated her stove with
wood alcohol kept in small oil can,
but not taking the oil can with her,
and being somewhat In hurry and
wishing to save steps, she concluded
to pour oil into the cup OF the gaso-
line stove from a gallon oil can
which she kept in the cellar in
which she kept her supply of wood
alcohol. She removed the crate and
cap of the burner and poured the al
cohol through the tube leading to the
cup. After the alcohol had burned
out Of the cup she lighted the stove
but found 1t would not burn properly,
not being sufficiently generated. She
turned the blaze out and attempted
to pour more alcohol into the cup to
generate it the second time, but 1t is
thought a small pin flame must have
been burning un-noticed to her, caus-
ing the wood alcohol can to explode.
The bottom Of it was blown out ami
the burning oil was thrown over her
clothing.
All ablaze she ran screaming up the
stairs, which leads to the kitchen.
where Mr.. Reimbold met her. She
ran on out of the door, however, and
lay down on the concrete platform nf
the porch, having the presence Of
mind no doubt to think that Mr..
Reimbold would have better chance
to fight the flames there. He did the
best he could, with his bare hands.
and succeeded in extinguishing the
flames, but it was too late to be of
avail, as nearly all her clothing was
burned from her body and her body
was horribly burned and charred
She was burned from her neck to her
feet all over her body except down
the middle Of her back. The worst
burns were across her abdomen, and
her hands were burned almost to a
crisp.
The agonizing screams attracted
the attention of neighbors, number
OF whom came and rendered what as
sistance they could.
The deceased's maiden name was
Elizabeth Diemer. She was born In
Nauvoo 4S years ago on March 18th
last, and resided here nearly all her
life. She was married to Charles
Reimbold Jan. IS, 1885. They resided
in Leayenworth, Kan, for six years,
after which they returned to Nauvoo,
Mr., Reimbold entering into the hard
ware business with his father. To the
union were born two children, Mrs
Ida Warder of Humeston, Ia, and Err
win of this city. There are also sur
viving three sisters and one broth
er, Mrs. c, J. Loesch and Mrs. VIM.
Dieters Of st. Paul. Mimi, and Mrs
VIM. Schlade of Fort Madison. Ia,
and John Diemer of Hyannis, Neb..
also her step-mother, Mrs. Val. Diem.

To Look Young
Is to Feel Well
(From The Home Maker.)

Il
Facial indications OF illness, age,
fatigue or worry, are not easily hid
den, even with the cleverest use Of
cosmetics Indeed, efforts In this d.
rection often only emphasize pained
or lifeless expression. AS there are
times when many. though feeling quite
unfit, can hardly escape certain So
cial obligations, here's something
worth knowing: A perfectly harmless
jelly-like substance, known to drug
gists as parafied plastoid Jelly, pos
sesses valuable attributes as a face
roster and quick rejuyenator. Spread
over the entire face and allowed to
harden, 1t forms supporting mask
for the tired muscles. A soothing
sensation Is experienced and II the
patient will lie down she will doubt
less fall into sound slumber. The
mask firms up the facial tissue un.
derneath, and all fiabbiness, hollows,
rings beneath the eyes, etc., are no
ticeably improved at once. The face
assumes a youthful pink color. a
healthy, animated appearance, and
Its owner certainly would not be. con-
sidered sickly.
The dried jelly should be kept on
Tor 10 minutes to an hour; 1t is cas-
lily washed off with cold water.-Adv.

FROM OTHER PENS
CONCERNING PANJANDRUMs.

CONCERNING PANJANDRUMS.
One of the English weeklies, the
Bystander, heads an article on ambas-
sadors' diplomatic ~panjandrums. One
meaning of panJandrum, according to
the Century, is "burlesque potentate.'
The Bystander says America sends am
bassadors who have no connection
with Diplomacy, but have money
enough to make a real splash We
are frank and cynical, in other words,
and do not make buTlesque potentates
out of our ambassadors. The Bystand-
for his London house. It suggests that
American ambassadors try more mod
est quarters, like Bloomsbury. We like
this suggestion. The British Museum
would be- near the ambassadors house.
And Bloomsbury contains several good
temperance hotels, where our ambaSSa-
dor; could entertain his friends with
conspicuous unostentation. If he him
self lived in one Of these temperance
hotels he could almost live on his sal
airy. The more we think of this idea
the higher we rate it. An ambassador
who adopted it might do what many
men have tried and failed to do-con-
bad scheme to buy official dwellings
for our diplemats.-New York Globe.
TWO MORE STATES NEEDED.
In urging the Massachusetts, 1egis-
1ature to take prompt action in ratify-
ing the income tax amendment to the
constitution of the United States, Gov
ernor Foss sets a timely example to
the governors of other states where no
decision has been reached. The legis-
latures of thirty-four states have rati-
fled the amendment. The votes of
only two more states are needed for
it's final adoption. OF the fourteen
still undecided or already recorded in
the negative, no one doubts that two
favor of ratification of the amend
ment. At the approaching special ses-
sion next spring congress is expected
to make an honest and downward re-
vision of the tariff. If it gives due re-
gard to the rights of the consumers,
it will reduce or remove taxes on many
necessaries. 1t should not be hamper
ed in its labors in behalf of the con-
sumers of the country by the delay of
two or three states in voting on the
income tax amendment.-New York
World,
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1913-01-17
TOO MUCH TALK.

Gov. Woodrow Wilson appears to be
spelling for a fight. Ever since his
election to the presidency. he figurative-
ly, has been carrying a chip on his
shoulder and has been challenging any
body to knock 1t Off His speeches re-
mind one of the Irishman at at Donny-
brook fair, who invited some gentle
man to step on the tail of his coat.
The governor not only invites an en-
counter, but he is showing a disposition
to initiate Cervantes's hero, by attack
ing the windmills.
No disposition to oppose the presi-
dent-elect's programme or policies has
manifested itself in any quarter, but
a well defined sentiment that he is
talking too much. has developed. The
saying that deeds speak louder than
Words is not truer anywhere than in
politics.
If Mr.. Wilson continue to maintain
his present attitude he may in time,
succeed in starting something that he
will find it difficult to stop.
He appears to be modelling his course
after that of Col. Roosevelt rather than
that OF Col. Bryan. The former is a
man of much buster and few accom-
plishments while the latter never bat
ties with empty air.
The Nebraskan waits until the head
is in sight before attempts to hit it.
and he seldom misses.
So far, there has been no serious
