The last week in August is here, and
school days and state fair days are
upon us. The tent and the camping
outfit must soon return to winter
quarters and the name of Septem Der
comes to society like bugle call to a
social awakening. The long summer
season in Kansas keeps vacationers
away two or three weeks after society
takes on the life of a new season in
other places, and few parties are to
be expected for some weeks yet And
after all, for Kansas bred people there
are worse affections than Kansas
summer. Two Topeka people dreamed
of their vacation in the north all
through the hot days of June and early
July and then they left for WiScon-
sin. In less than two weeks they We're

was so cold that the tourists thought
of the cost of fuel by day and dreamed
of arctic exploration by night.
However, whether the outing was
pleasant or not, the vacationers will
be coming back in a few weeks, and
already the various organizations are
making their plans for the winters
activities. The principal music clubs
have prepared their programs for the
season and set the dates for the meet

named Wednesday, october s, as the
date of its first session this fall. The

it's first autumn meeting in the early

PEARL OYSTERS IN JAPAN.
Beds Under Culture in Omura Bay
Contain 200, 600. 900 Shells.

Mr.. Y. Ogita. manager of the Nag
asaki branch of the Mitsui Bussln
Kaisha. states that his company has
recently acquired extensive interests
in culture pearl oyster beds al OmUra,
a city some miles north of Nagasali
on Omura Bay These beds contain
approximately 2OO.00O,O 900 pearl oysters
already planted, and it is expected
that at least 1 in every 10 will yield
a pearl of commercial value. The
mother-of-pear will be used in the
manufacture of buttons.
There is now one small button fac
tory employing about so women ut
Omura. but most of the oyster shells
from Omura are shipped to Osain
where they are made into buttons for
the Chinese market. The Mitsui con-
pany is planni--g to establish a I3.ge
button factory at Omura. The manu-
facture of buttons at that place will
save a great deal of expense in
handling and packing the shells and
buttons and in freight charges. and
Omura buttons will thus be able to
compete most favorably in the Gin
ese market with the Osaka product

L. NJ. P: You are unduly alarmed about
the seeming coarseness of your complex
ion. The sun and wind are hard on deli
cate skins. and maybe you have used
some injurious face powder. Here is a
preparation which will serve the double
purpose of cleansing your skin of the sal
low muddy look and whitening it in the
way the best powder cannot. 1t is natural
in effect and will cling and look like a
part of your skin. Dissolve 4 ounces OF

teaspoonfuls glycerine- This gives you a
beautiful Velvet-like complexion, besides
preventing skin-defects.
Queene: Yes, dotted wells are bad for
the eyes. but l hardly think that is your
whole trouble. You need a tonic to rest
and strengthen the eyes which ache from
over-strain. Here is formula you can
mix at home at slight cost. Dissolve an
ounce of crYstos in pint of water and
put drops in each eye daily. 1t is sooth-
ing to inflamed lids, relieves eyes of red
ness and is a great help to those who
wear glasses. If you lids are puffy and
dark underneath, this daily treatment will
he of immense benefit.
