many honest people have been COM
PEELED to eliminate meat from their
menus, Spectators were boarding the
necessaries of life in order that those
compelled to have flesh for food
would be forced to pay them their
prices.
While the annals of the poor may
be short and simple, when such facts
as those above referred to are read,
the great majority naturally want to
know why few people, whom for
tune seems to hover over, shoub1 be
allowed to seize and keep the neces-
saries of life from the masses Tor
whom they we're intended by mu-
nificent Creator.
In some of the old countries, where
the land is insufficient to support
the toiling millions, meat is rarity,
and is seldom seen upon tables of the
great majority. Is it to become so
in the United States! Should pres
ent conditions continue, and our law
makers close their ears to the cries
of those who really make wealth IN
which others bask, time may come
when not only the bulk Of the money
will be concentrated in the hands oil
few. as in the days of ancient Rome,
but the necessaries Of life also. while
those cruelty holding natures pro-
ducts will be enjoying champagne
suppers and ocean excursions. There
is an abundance for all in our country
were the products properly dlstrl-
buted.

LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS
HINTS ABOUT FACIAL MASSAGE.
BY BLANCHE BEACON

"Estelle'' writes me pathetica11y that she can simply never use cold cream comfortably because 1t smears up in- to the roots of her hair and makes her utterly miserable with sticky hair.
 What a pity, EsteI1e, for all of us need a. little home massage once in a while. But let me tell you a few things to do before and after and see if I cannot make it easier for you.
 In the first place, before you begin the massage get into a1oose comfy ki- mona with low neck and short sleeves
 Now take a towel, and bind 1t around your head, covering every vestige of hair and leaving your ears out.
 Next, put the cream into the palms of your two hands, and ttspat'' your fingers gently into it until your hand is quite covered with the cream Now begin the massage. Work in broad, strong strokes.
 Now that winter is coming on, you
 will want to get rid of some of that tan and sunburn you have accumulat- ed during the summer. Make up this cream and use it.
 Sub1ined sulphr-one-haf dram. Carbonate of zinc-one dram. Ointment of zinc-one ounce. Apply this lightly to the skin Let 1t rest second or two, then take 1t all off and use nice soothing cream. Here is another cure that is applied with a brush several times daily: Murtate of ammonia-three-four dram.
 Lavender water-two drams. Distilled wate-eight ounces. And besides all this, wear a comfort able veil when you go out.

Ccontinuod,

The maTq- , man of his own position and morality owed it to the world to point out every horrible example even if that example were the son of an old family friend. flor how otherwise can the rising genera ton get the proper moral perspective ?" he had asked more than once.
 So now he did not hesitate though he was well aware that his utterances would place him in the light of seem ing rather less of a gentleman than he was in the minds of those who might not understand his real feeling in this and related matters
 He won't love paying for it," he said. a.and for his other foIlies''- Even Beverley felt that he was going too far.
 But the mind of Lady Antrobus was alert for any bit of gossip.
 Are they so very costIy?'' she con t1nued. hoping to open the doors of the marquis Indignation.
 But Lord Beverley glanced at Lady Diana not very far off. Then he coughed as he returned hesitatingly:
 ssHem-er-I have heard so.''
 Fuel to what she felt was a flame about to expire the voluble neighbor of FaIconhurst added:
 I've only met him once" she said. with thu air of one contra dieting the marquis, ssand I thought he'd charming manners and was quite good looking. Every youngster must sow his wild oats, you know. my dear marquis"
 Lady Antrobus had partially succeed ed Beverley did not, it is true, add to her fund of knowledge regarding the escapades of Brancaster, but he 
 bly. though in his somewhat suited phrase
 Certainly. let him sow all the wild oats he wishes he said. ''but not in my garden. If you women of position in social England did your duty a boy like Brancaster would be cut. Yes and we men are just as much to blame too. for we should cut him for your sakes We smile too much and look the other way in these days Many a youngster would be saved from perdi- ton if his elders only spoke out as men and gentlemen should speak, as myself would speak to .Brancaster. ii he ever came near here
 If we all acted as we should in re gard to these spendtbrift boys and these wastrels more than half of them would turn from their folly and be come Wof1ny or IDelr ancestors. II Brancaster ever came to Falconhurst ] would not hesitate to say to him While my women folk live in my house you are not welcome within it. :
 Lady Antrobus sighed at thought o1 the young earl who was so unwelcomt in the home of the friends of his ia ther. She might have returned to the attack, but at this moment loud cry from Captain Rayner, one of the meI of the house party. drew the attention not only of her, but of Beverley and all of the rest.

CHAPTER w.
An old Acquaintance. A

 ~1 1AYNER was standing near the highway. which passed not tN very far from a corner of the
 stables. and he was looking up ward along the tortuous course of the road as it steadily mounted to the highlands.
 Down that road from the plateau above a large touring automobile was rushing. swaying from side to side as the man at the wheel took rockingly the many turns in the course. There was 8 woman beside him. Suddenly she arose and screamed. A moment later she had jumped from the car and was standing in safety in the road watching the terrifying descent of the automobile.
 Not all of the women in the group at the Falconhurst stables saw the wo- man after she had left the lurching vehicle, as some of them were too oc- rupfed with their own fears and ter rors, for gradually, after their first moments of amazement. they realized that the car was beyond control.
 After the woman jumped the man looked backward for just heetfng in stant as though assuring himself that Hhe were safe. Then he doubled over his wheel.
 TO the autoists among the watchers it was soon apparent that the man in ths ear possessed no means of check

ASPHALT EARNINGS LESS

of Working Capital.

The General Asphalt Company winch
made public it's report for the year

sls.542,28l. Net profits were sLSi3.e9s.
equal 10 per cent on the company's
100000 preferred stock and an addi-
iional 37S per cent on the 100000 com
mon. Regarding the years operations
President Arthur W. Sewall said
"The important features OF the year
under review have been the continuing
increase in the consumption Of asphalt
and asphaltic products for street and
road purposes, the consequent enlarge
ment OF the companys sales business
and the successful development OF pc
troleum fields in Trinidad and Venezuela.
With the large increase in the sale OF
asphalt and asphaltic products and the
use OF an increasing amount OF the COM
panys working capital in this branch OF
its business the amount OF contracting
work done by the company itself has
necessarily decreased. Efficient paving
organizations have been maintained. but
their operations have been more concen-
trated than heretofore The shipping
and refining capacity OF the company has
again been heavily increased during the
past winter. and the company is now
adequately equipped to import and refine
a larger quantity Of asphalt than ever
before"
