HOW TO WRITTEN THE THROAT
Lemon Juice or a Ripe Tomato VIII
Remove Any Dlscolorations-
Alcohol to Harden.

Shapeliness Is not all that Is neces=
sary to the making of throat beauti-
full. The texture of the skin must be
flne and soft, white and unblemished.
Cleanliness is the first essential. A
good thorough scrubbing with a not too
soft brush, hot water and soap, once or
twice a week, will do no harm, the rest
Of the time using the ordinary cloth.
Apply lemon juice or ripe tomato to
any discolorations that may appear,
and unless the pores are enlarged,
use cold cream freely.
Alcohol will harden the flesh. As
Tor the various bleaches, there are
some that are harmless, except insofar
as they invariably are drying, which
ultimately leaves the skin harsh and
brash. Here is one that can easily be
made at home, but, like the others, 1t
Ii drying, so be sure to counterfeit this
effect by applying cold cream after
using 1t. Mix half an ounce of perox-
lde of hydrogen, six ounces Of witch.
hazel and half an ounce of Tactic acid
Apply this with soft cloth.

TRULY TIMES HAVE CHANGED
Philosopher In Puck MoraIlzes Over
the Announcements Which the
World Has Seen.

The time was when you could get a
woman to do all your homework and
tend to the garden and milk nine cows
night and morning, and do it for two
dollars a week and be glad to get the
money. Where have they gone?
Time was when you could get man
to cut wood for rs cents cord, and
when a dollar day wasn't paid to
anybody except in harvest time. Look
at things now!
Time was when days work meant
to be up by candle-light doing chores
and eating supper by candle-light after
the evening chores was finished. And
I'm talking about summer-not winter
Time was when you could go to the
county and get boy to work for you
for his keep. He was bound out to
you till he was eighteen, and II he run
away you could bring him back and
HEX the nonsense out'n him. II you
want boy. these days them people
Will ask you a. many questions az Ii
you was selling horse.
Sometimes when look at this herr
country that I've give my whole lie Z
$50 to speak-I wonder Il It's real,
an truly paid. ! tell you I dunno

Tho Proper Thing for Both White and
Colored Linen Parasols-Wide
Variety Of Designs.

White and colored linen parasols
show hand embroidery. They arc
mounted with ivory or bone handles
and tips or with light natural or pol
ished wood handles and brass pointed
tips. Some of them are finished about
the edge with fringe, some with plain
hem and some with an embroidered
scallop. A wide variety Of designs is
shown in embroidered parasols. Satin
stitch, eyelet work and outlining are
used in combination to produce both
ornate and simple effects. Almost all
parasols are made with eight panels
and half a dozen skeins of cotton are
needed for embroidering each panel
with a design Of moderate size; I'VE
or six dozen skeins, therefore, would
be sufficient for any parasol. The Dig

broidered panels into parasols and sell
sticks and frames.

EASTER CLOTHES

Spring models are now on display at our
MEMS Toggery. The only difference be-
tween our store and large stores in the
city is the amount of each size garment
carried.
Our stock is as varied and just as COM
plete as stores of many times the amount
of stock. We take our cue from the city
styles and when you buy from us you are
buying where a matter of acquaintance
compels us to deal with you so that you
must say a good word for us and will re-
turn.
