On occasions of impending danger PEG.
pie sometimes do what seems to them
most absurd at other moments. When
the steamship America, which carried
one of the Ziegler exploring expeditions
to Franz Josef Land in 1908, was be-
ing crushed by Ice the following winter
1t became necessary to abandon the ship
in haste. Orders were given to unload
upon the ice everything that would be OF
use in the long winter yet before the
men. The work must be done with dis.
patch.
While the crew was passing the bags
over the side of the ship the cook, who
was of an excitable nature, suddenly ap.
peared at the rail with a large bag,
which he heaved over with all his
strength. 1t struck the Ice below with
a resounding crash, causing one of the
sailors to exclaim:
"Hello, cook, what was thatP"
"Oh, that Is all right" be answered
"It was lamp chimneys and flatirons."
But it was hardly all right, for during
the winter they we're obliged to cut the
bottoms out of pickle bottles and use
them in place of chimneys that had beer
broken

How 10 Be More Beautiful.
By 6u Ja1.e

The love of good looks is very natural
feeling. We are all just human enough
to wish to look we'll and make good
appearance.
have met many people, some of them
ladies, who were mortified because their
faces, otherwise attractive and often even
beautiful, were marred by dry and
sallow skin, Aabby and wrinkled, or by
un,ightly pimples and blotches.
Ithas been my good fortune to point these
people to a safe and very simple remedy
for their affection; and because there are
many Others who suffer in the same way,
/ am giving my remedy here. Every
one should understand, however, first,
that these troublesome things have
very simple cause and come only because
nature Is failing to eliminate poisons from
the system in a natural way. If these
people will take Dr.. True's Elixir they
will aid stomach and bowels to carry of
waste matter that now is clogging the pores
of the skin and marring physical beauty.
counsel all who wish to possess good
looks to follow this advice and urge
them further to use, every night, Parker's
1902 Cold Cream. Persist in this and
nature thus aided will give you back hefull
measure Of beauty that is yours by right

Thou shalt have no "affinities" but
center thy love upon the wife of thy

fleeth from the hand of stingy man.
Thou shalt not short circuit thy COM
pliments after the honey moon, but con.
tinue to give praise for that which
seemeth good to thine eyes.

all her loving ways, but refrain from
making odi0us comparisons In the

Thou shalt not smoke to excess.
Thou shalt not gamble.
Thou shalt not use profanity In the
presence Of thy family.

manner, but Commissioner Hart wink
ed his eye at the press table and re-
marked that they ought to use the
newspapers anyway. Mayor Harry

nance did not prohibit the distribution
of bills at residences or stores in the
city but did cover the throwing Of pa

vote, it was unanimously passed.
