Worry an Enemy to Beauty.


All signs of approaching age are pa

IS much that a woman can do to ward
off these signs. AS matter of fact
any woman can grow old SO graceful

Sadness tends to keep the muscles re-

A woman who Is sad and has wor-

this aged look. The fiat muscles Of the
cheeks relax. and this soon leads to
deep ridges and burrows about the jaw

are pulled down. and the result Is a
haggard. unhealthful look.
1t is generally admitted that two per-
sons living together often become alike

may be said of a woman's thoughts.

woman who is cross and becomes peev-

Keeping Nails Attractive.

In nowise is neglect Of the person
so readily apparent as in badly kept
nails. Neither can the manicure alone
be held responsible for their care. On
the contrary. If woman desires she
can dispense with the manicurist's
services, save perhaps once or twice a
month. and still have nice nails. Nails
grow rapidly and respond readily to
treatment
II they are Ill shaped give them
almond shaped tips that are most at
tractive by shaping them carefully
with the little sandboards. Use fine
pumice powder to subdue the rough
ness or to reduce the little ridges that
sometimes appear, and employ the
scissors as sparingly as possible. Use
them not at all upon the nails them
selves. but merely for clipping the rag

base of the nail Push back the scurf

To make white spots on the nails dis

mixed in equal parts. and remove the
following morning with a little olive
oil. A bruised nail should be plunged
into hot water and held there for If
teen or twenty minutes.
Many of the vaunted powders and

wise to avoid these.

nature, but if the timidlty is at all
strong or frequent it amounts to an
illness and must be treated us such.
A healthy child Is seldom seriously
frightened. 1t may be startled for a
moment, but that is quite a different
thing from the chronic terror which
spoils some poor little lives. If your
child Is always nervouS-ready to shiv-
er and cry at strange sound or to
shrink from an unknown person or to
tremble at a dark room or run from a
strange dog, these signs indicate that
he is not well.
1t is a curious fact that boys under
the age of ten are often more nervous
than their sisters, though girls be-
tween the ages of ten and twenty are
far more nervous than boys. And it
is not an uncommon thing for young
boy to run for protection to sister
practically the same age as himself.
A really nervous child should never
be forced to do long or hard lessons.
Its study hours should be shortened as
much as possible and it should spend
the greater part of the day out Of
doors. Neither lessons nor play should
be too energetic-he should just be al
lowed to go his own way and amuse
himself as he thinks best.
Sleep is of the first Importance. A
nervous child cannot sleep too much
He should always be in bed before 8
o'clock at night and should be allowed
to lie till he rouses himself in the
morning. 1t is very bad thing for
him to be awakened violently, for this
gives the nerves shock from which
they suffer during all the morning
hours.
A cold bath in the morning Is an ex-
cellent thing, provided that the child
is strong enough to stand it. But Ii
he dislikes it very much he should not
be forced into it, as this would lead to
another shock which would do away
with all the good gained from the bath
An ordinary wash followed by brisk
rub down with rough towel makes
quite good substitute for cold BATH
The food should be generous and
simple. Very nervous children need Il
large number Of light meals during the
day, as they are not able to digest a
great quantity Of food at one time. 1t
is a good plan to give glass Of milk
and buttered biscuit in the middle Of
the morning and another glass Of milk.
with sponge cake or piece Of choc-
0late. the last thing at night. II the
child sleeps badly and Is restless you
may put couple of biscuits on the ia
BILE beside his bed, so that he may eat
them If he wakes during the night. A
comforting little meal of this kind will
often send him of to sleep again, when.
without 1t he would lie awake for
hours shivering in the dreadful dark
ness
Above all, treat the nervous child
most tenderly. Never let the others
laugh at him or call him coward, but
make them understand that his timidi-
ty arises from illness and that he must
be pitied and treated as gently as any
other invalid.

MUNICIPAL COURT.
Children Placed in Care of Mrs Hunt
Other Matters.

A considerable portion of the Satur-
day morning session of the municipal
court was devoted to two cases where
children had been brought into court
in order that suitable provision might
be made for their proper care, sup
port and education, in both of which
action had been brought by Mrs. Ada
Hunt, State agent for the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.
The children were Charles Dyer, aged
II years. whose father, Joseph Dyer
of parts unknown, was not considered
a Fit person to have the custody of
the child, and Frances Page, aged two
years, whose mother, Alice Page, had
abandoned her. Both children were
placed in the custody of Mrs. Hunt.
Other business of the court was the
disposal of four cases of intoxication.
One respondent, arraigned on two
charges, paid fire and costs amount
ing to 1921, and the other three were
allowed to go upon the payment by
each of the costs of court, 1892.

HAS CLOSE CALL.
Joe Fontaine Is Found Friday Night
Unconscious in Snowbank.

Had it not been for his discovery by
an Augusta citizen and the subsequent
care given him by the police Friday
night, a man who gave the name of
Joe Fontaine and claimed to have a
room on Mill street, might have ended
his existence in snowbank behind
the Maine Central fence on CONNER
eial street, but owing to a combination
of circumstances he escaped with no
more serious consequences than the
payment of a fine, Saturday morning,
in the municipal court, on charge of
intoxication.
From what could be learned, the
man came over from Lewiston, prob
ably on the evening train, and while
in, an intoxicated condition wandered
around in the vicinity of the foot of
Winthrop hill until he finally laid
down in the snow behind the board
fence which separates the Maine Cen
trail property from Commercial street,
near the Hunt express office. At about
9 o'clock a man who was approaching
Winthrop hill on his way home heard
a noise that did not sound just right
to him, and upon investigating found
scious and nearly buried from sight.
Hurrying down to Water street the
man found Night Officer Cloutier no.
tilted him of what he had found, and
that officer lost no time in securing
a team and taking Fontaine to the po-
lice station. Fontaine was badly chilled
and helpless. and had il not been for
his timely discovery would probably
have persisted before morning. Upon
his arrival at the station the officers
went to work upon him and eventual
ly got him into condition where there
was no immediate danger of results
that might arise from his exposure.
Saturday morning the man did not
seem much the worse for his expe-
rience and was arraigned before the
court as q hnVe stated.

wild root is the ideal and any domesti-
Gated or cultivated variety is merely
a substitute This substitute ought
to be as near like the wild as possible.
If the root grows in the shape or or

The outlook for ice racing this win
ter, so far as Augusta is concerned, is
not very bright and it is doubtful if
anything in that line of sport is seen
until some future season comes along
and brings with it more favorable
conditions. The main trouble seems to
be that there are this winter no horses
owned in the city that are eligible
for good racing. An Augusta horse
man who has heretofore been one of
the promoters CT the sport, said Sat
urday that he could not see where any
races would come in, for the reason
above stated. In years past there were
always enough horses of the stopper
class in the city to guarantee good
ice race at any time that the spirit
moved their owners to hitch 'em up,
but it looks now as If there was to be
anything doing in the race line this
winter it would be out at Winthrop.
