LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS
Concealment vs. Frankness
BX BLANCHE BEACON

From time irnmemorial, woman has sought in some way or another to i'm prove or change her particular style of beauty. In past time, it has been done less skilfully and less comforta- bly, than now.
 It was mostly a matter of witch craft in olden times. The successful warlock was the one who had the finest collection of ba.lrns and lotions. But because witehery was under a rather heavy ban, the maiden who wished to whiten her cheek or hand was obliged to resort to the envelop- ing cloak and mask, and betake her self by secret paths to some gloomy den for her sa1ves and ointments
 Now it is rather different I1n- proVement Is looked upon as a 1egfti- mate and natural thing. Madame is not forced to apply her powder in deadt1est secrecy. Most men are pleased rather than shocked when little Miss Fiancee, on seeing HIM appear, hastily dabbles a bit of rice powder on her small nose and chin. It f1atters his personal vanity that she

CANCER, A DURABLE DISEASE
(New Haven Union.)

pr. Mayo's opinion that if a good surgeon gets to a case of cancer with the knife early enough the affected cells can be cut out and the patient saved is the opinion of most doctors. None the less, cancer h gaining, which Dr. Mayo explains is due to failure to recognize the disease in it's early stages. He says:
 After IS years of special investiga- ton of cancer of the stomach we are assured that it is a curable disease. Nearly one-third Of all cancers occur proves that cancer is a curable dis ease. Of course cancer of the etom- ach cannot be cured in all cases. Out of 1,O00 cases operated on from 1894 to December 31 last, 378 resulted in cures, 246 patients were improved and their lives prolonged and 576 were giv- en up as hopeless after exploratory op- erations. Perhaps all of these eases could have been cured if the disease had been diagnosed in time"
 Today it takes the life of one man in every 12 and of one woman in every eight. Once rare or unrecognized, 1t is now common; and while the nor one-third from scarlet fever three eighths, from tuberculosis almost a sixth and from meningitis two-ninthe during the recent advances in medical science and in public sanitation, yei- low fever and smallpox being practi- ca1ly ob1iterated, the death rate from cancer has steadily crawled up untn in seven years, in one state, it rose from an average Of 59 for each 100, 900 Of population to "A.
 No man knows what causes cancer. but every doctor likes to guess. To a recent issue of the Louisville Courier Journal Dr. George w Norman con trfbuted a theory founded 40 years of close observation.
 Having noted the entire absence of cancer in primitive races he concludes that it is a disease pecu1iar to civfIiza- tion and guesses that it's chief cause is-gluttony. He continues:

 Concea1ment vs. frankness is car ried still farther by some women. Aside from their auction methods of flesh reducing, their servant problems and new recipes, the most frequent topic of conversation is some new beauty stunt.
 After all, dn this age of semi -scien- tific aids to beauty, most people are familiar with them. It is said that the woman who resorts to false aids deceives nobody but herself-aI1d now not even herself. It is a pdtiful thing to see the woman who is obviously b1eached, made up or otherwise arti- ficia1, try to conceal it and patent1y to deceive her friends.

tite in any way cannot but cause a weakened condition of the digestive organs, Yet everything conceivable Is used to concoct dishes for us to eat which we don't need and shouldn't have. When we consider the way people live it isn't surprising that such short span of life is now the rule or that the majority of the human race succumbs to disease when they are at their most useful age. Oils, fats, sweets, beer and stimu1ants of all kinds are hard on the liver and when used to excess this organ can't perform it's natural functions. Whenever the liver is deranged every organ in the body is more less affected The liver not only eecretes and excretes bile, the natural gatfve, but it is the grave yard, to worn-out red corpucs1es of the blood. When the liver is over worked, as 1t generally is, this poison is left in the body and brings about many disorders, the most fnsidious of which is-CANCER!
 From my own experience I am convinced that whenever the liver fails to eliminate effete matter from the blood, the cells become inpregnat- ed with this poison and accumulate as a deposit where some lesion exists and a cancer is often developed. Warts. blemishes, runs about the face, the ir- ritation of the pipe stem on the lips; ton is hindered. make convenient cells.''
 Whether this be the true exp1ana- ton of cancer or not, is not ours to decide, but in any event the moral is plain:
 Deal fairly with your liver!

OBITUARY

Nellie Ridge, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Ulysses s. Ridge, was
born Jan. 10, 1877, at Robinson,
Kan. She was married to Horace
G. Trapp on Dec. 20, 1893, and to
this union were born three child
rem, Horace Floyd, Hazel Gertrude
and Dorothy Lucille.
Nellie Ridge Trapp died at her
home in Monte Vista, Colo, Jan.
81, 1913, at the age of 36 years and
q days. Death came unexpectedly
though she had been in poor health
for two and one-half years, caused
from an attack of pneumonia
The funeral WAS conducted at
the First Christian church, of
which she became member in
1903, Feb. End at 3 p. m. by DR..
Joseph F. Findley, the pastor,
assisted by Rev. Wm. Kerry of
the Presbyterian church. The
text used on the occasion was sug-
gested by the last words of the de-
parted to her husband, 81 am
ready"
The large, sympathetic audience
was a strong token of the love, re-
spect and high esteem in which
Mrs. Trapp, as well as the family,
are held in Monte Vista and the
entire community. The large choir
felt the sacredness of the hour and
rendered music which touched the
hearts of all.
The life that was lived in whose
honor the audience met was true
to her dying words and the minis
ter had an easy task to impress
this truth upon the minds of the
hearers.
Indicative of high regard was
the large and beautiful tribute from
many friends including the High
landers Lodge, of which she was a
member, Woodmen of the World,
@. E. Society, Missionary Society,
Ladies Aid, Embroidery Club,
Sunday School classes, Sophomore
and Junior classes of the Monte
Vista High school of which the
children are members.
Mr.. Trapp and the family have
the deepest sympathy of the COM
munity who fully realize their
great loss, but the family have the
assurance that their loss is heavens
gain.

THE LATEST NEWS
FROM PLATORO

Following are extracts from a letter
received by us this week, written Feb.
End, by G. s. Barnes, United States
Mineral Surveyor:
"Will be glad to see you in here with
a saw mill soon, and feel that you can
sell all the lumber you can cut when
building commences in the spring.
Glad to learn that steps are being
taken to fix up the road to Sumner in
the near future.
"As to quantity Of lumber that this
tract Of land will produce, l have not
sufficient knowledge Of the tract to make
an estimate at the present time, but
know that it is heavily timbered. Being
in mineral section, surrounded by
good mines and prospects, some OF the
veins Of which run into this ground, |
consider its mineral value OF chief i'm
portance.
Owing to heavy growth OF timber
and deep soil covering the surface,
there are no mineral groupings to be
seen upon the ground. Yet there Is one
important lead, the old Reynolds prop
erty, that plainly runs onto, and trav-
erses the entire distance, one half mile,
in North South direction across the
ground. The probabilities are that
other good ledges will be discovered
upon this ground when it is explored.
considering the land as whole, it is
VERY VALUABLE holding, and promises
to develop into as good mineral prop
erty as can be found in the district
