Rev ,Steinmeyer Pounded"

A large crowd of the members of
Dixieland and Myrtle Street Meth
odist churches with several from
the First church and a few outsid-
ers took Rev w. H. Steinmeyer
by surprise last evening and crowd
ed in upon him at his home on Lake
Morton Circle and favored the min
lister with an old time pounding. ;"
The large dining table was SO filled
with numerous packages of choice
groceries and foodstuffs that it fairly
groaned under the weight. There
were canned goods, meats, fancy
groceries and in fact numerous ar
ticles of goods that give relief to the
inner man. Mr.. Steinmeyer was
very much surprised and very agree
ably so when he was presented with
these tokens. Miss Maude Stein
meyer was called upon for a song
and rendered very nicely several Sc
lections which were received with
much enthusiasm. After this Rev.
Steinmeyer in a few well chosen re-
marks thanked the people for their
remembrance and generosity, clos
ing with a short prayer He has
been pastor of the above named
churches for the past two years and
is held in esteem by his members.
This last demonstration is greatly
appreciated by himself and family.
1t is regretted that Mrs. Steinmeyer
was absent on this occasion, but she
will doubtless be much gratiied
upon learning of the good news

OF those who do not pay their dues.
For three years all have Jared alike,
those who have paid, those who
have paid for part of the time and
those who have never paid at all.
We have Sc members, 30 are behind
a part or all of their dues. During
this year we have had the cemetery
cleaned off three times and had a
nice pavilion built for which we
give many thanks to the Carpenters
Union. This pavilion is for the use
and comfort of all who so out there
and the ladies would regret very
much to be forced for lack of funds
to have to only keep the drive and
walks and few lots cleaned. 1t is
not possible for eight or ten ladies
to continue doing the work that ev
cry one who has an interest there
should help in.
This is the last appeal we will
make to you, so please send your
dues to Mrs. j. l.. Skipper, or my
self before Tuesday, Feb. 8, by 3

GOOD SUGGESTIONS
FOR CLEANUP WEEK

The Boy Scouts, under the direc-
tion of the scout master, Mr.. Kelsey

will be evenly distributed.

going on all week, and in the next
two days there can yet be much
done, especially if everybody will
take the good advice and suggestions
of the sanitary department and the
Woman's Club, which is being is
tributed in circular form and which
is as follows:
Buzzards are brought by bum back
yards.
Flies multiply fast from filth, and
fill folks with furious, fearful fevers.
Trash thrown on the thoroughfare
terrifies tourists.
Garbage generally generates
germs.
Therefore, lets not have it.
How to get rid of it: Burn it,
bunch it. box it, or barrel it for
burial by the trash man. A mum

When Will They Believe This

Does a woman clearly realize that
own judgment? She may not like to
admit it, but this is a fact neverthe-
less. She is made the victim of her
milliner and dressmaker who impose
their own ideas and decisions upon
her 1t is done astutely, very suaye-
ly, but it is done necessarily. Mer-
chants and dressmakers, in private
council, determine what the vogue
of a season shall be: they induce a
few to wear what they fix upon, and
the contagion spreads. We hear
women protest; a style is called
''ridiculous:" and yet within six
months these women are wearing the
very fashions they protested, says
the Ladies' Home Journal. Fashions
have truly become a case with wom-
en- of first endure, then pity, then
embrace" It is from under this
slavedom that women must emerge
in the matter of their clothes: this
curious following and aEoption of a
style, no matter what IL IS, nor how
unbecoming it is: this lack of in
dependence. For this is, plainly
speaking, what it comes to: women
dare not, in the matter of their dress,
be independent. They are deadly
afraid of being different, and yet in
that very fact of being different in
their clothes lies the very secret of
good dress-becoming to the wearer
and distinctive in its quality But
when will women believe this? When
will they learn this simple lesson?

Doctor Tells How to
Shed Bad COn7pIexi0n

We cannot restore degenerated facial
tissue any moro than we can restore
lost limb. II is useless to attempt to
convert worn out complexion into
new one. The rational procedure is to
remove the complexion instead-remoye
the deyitalized cuticfe. Not by surgical
means, however as the underlying cults
is too thin, too tender to withstand i'm
mediate exposure Applying ordinary
mercnlized wax will gradually absorb the
offending cnticle. By degrees, new,
youthful skin appears skin soft and
delicately tinted as a rose petal.
No lady need hesitate to try this. Pro-
cure an ounce of mercoiized wax of the
druggist. Spread on a thin layer before
retiring, removing this In the morning
with soap and water. In from one to
two weeks the complexion is completely
transformed
An approved treatment for wrinkles is
provided by dissolying an ounce of pow
dered saXolite In a half pint of witch
hazel. Bathing the face in the solution
brings prompt and remarkable results

TO the Girl Who Wants to Sing

In the June Woman's Home Com
panion a contributor. who has had
long experience as singing pupil
and opera singer in Europe, writes
an article entitled ITO the Girl Who
Wants to Sing" in which he shows
why so many girls fail, who Is to
blame, what kind of talent is needed,
and where to study to win success.
Following is an extract:
ION this subject I can speak very
feelingly, for my own career just es-
capped utter failure when | faced the
realization which no singer, no mat
ter how talented, can escape; I mean
the realization that the master can
do only ten per cent. OF the work.
The pupil must do ninety per cent.
There are no good masters, there are
only good pupils.
My opening studies were made at
the Royal College of Music, in Lon
don. There l had two lessons a
week, and never learned my music
by heart. From that institution I
went to Bouhie, in Paris. For three
weeks worked with him on the

that time I had not memorized it.
One day, Bouhie said to me: You

"One that measures up to the re-
quirements of the law. A majority
of the Holsters trapped are 'snappers,
or those that come short tof the
measurement. These are thrown back
into the water to attain their full
growth. AS a heavy fine is imposed
on every one of these little fellows
found in the possession of fisher

are kept. If it were not for this fine

Yes, and wondered what they were

that Holsters are thrown into them

Small wooden pegs are first inserted
in their claws TO keep them from dis
abling or killing one another. A few
big fighting fellows with their claws
free would destroy hundreds of dol

short time. And one of our duties
will be to make sure that no careless

SLIM, GRACEFUL DESIGNS FOR NET OR CREPE

Among the sheer, crisp materials
favored for summer frocks there is a
fine meshed net. Some of these nets
show a printed border of pink or
yellow roses or conventionalized
Greek designs Although extremely
diaphanous, this material is far more
durable than many other sheer stuffs.
1t may be made up over a foundation
of liberty or soft taffetas. Chiffon is
often combined with it most effee-
lively
For simple afternoon frocl1s showing
pannier or puff, the Dolly Warden
taffetas are quite the most fetching
things imaginable, with their soft
coloring and quaint flower designs.
Plain silk crepes, too, are much
used, as they are becoming and most
practical. The tunicked frock shown
in No. S370-803S is developed in one
of these silk crepes; the color Is
French blue. and crush girdle of
black satin offers pleasing relief. The
average width of silk crepe is 80 to
- inches and 1t may be purchased
from IS cents a yard and up.

Dainty collar and cuff sets are
worn with various kinds of dresses,
waists and coats all the year round,
but more especially are they used
on coats in the spring and summer,
when the furs have been laid aside.
They may be made of fine round
thread linen, handkerchief linen,
lawn, batiste or organdie, and en-
broidered with fine white or colored
mercerized cotton
This simple design should be de-

and, if desired, narrow Valenciennes

finishing the edge. There are, con-
