 GREAT AT KEENEYS

One of the most nouvelle acrobatic acts on the vaudeville stage is to be seen at keeneys this week, namely the act of the Six Webers, a troupe con- ssting of six of the best tumblers to be found in the United States.

Eeldom does a woman realize the
 history nature of her beauty, which
 rendered immune from the evils of
 hd, sun and weariness by that
 tent element of beauty, youth.
 anesccnt Is La Beaute du Diable. 5
 But when youth and it's magic glow
 ve gone many woman realizes she
 been left high and dry with
 thing to take the place of her only
 ource -- that mysterious thing
 ich is out of her control-which
 given by nature-and taken
 ay by nature-and which, from the
 etingness of it's character is called
 the French -"Beaute du Dia ble.'
 ere are, of course, many ways of blonging youth indefinitely, but,
 en so, the day inevitably comes
 pner or later when the chin loses
 roundness, the cheeks their color,
 d even vigor of the limbs becomes
 paired.
 History and literature are full of hmples of women who, having de- ted all their energies to the cult of eir bodies, suddenly disappear from
 w at the age of forty or fifty, and |.example of this has ever been more liking than the case of Mme. de 'stiglion, of the court of Napoleon [., one of the most famous beauties Europe. She was married at the |e of fifteen to young Italian, the Iunt Castiglione, and for the next |enty years her life was long lies of triumphs. She was famed l her beauty in the great capitals of krope-London, Paris, Vienna and bme-was the possessor of jewels hich were worth kings ransom, Id it is written of her that when she ftered crowded room people would hnd up on the chairs to get a tmpse of her.
 ''Ruin Worked By Time" linen when she was only little |er thirty her beauty began to he. According to contemporary: Id age came sooner than she had (pected, placing it's pitiless brand what had been her glory, her |wer and her triumph. She had bed like Ninon to triumph even this and to resist times ravages Ithe end
 t'She found herself losing, little by He, her abundant hair, her pearly kth, the perfect contour of her ee.

 Inner Glow Puts Age to Flight. What, then, can woman do to olong her youth and her charm?

Eomen Mourn Disappearance
 of the Magic Glow of Youth
nless Moral and Intellectual Forces Are Educated They Are Left Without Anything to Take Its Place
 Something of Value Should Occupy Their Time

Dyeing the hair, painting the cheeks and dressing in more youthful manner will not do it, for obviously these things only make more eV1- dent the ravages which they try to hide But to occupy ones mind with something that absorbs all it's moral and intellectual powers, keep ing alive the intelligence and ner- vous energy, gives alertness to a woman's mind and brightness to her eyes. A systematic course of read irg, cultivation of musical or ar tistic talent, social service work or organized charities, all these are things which today make many women past forty simulate women Of thirty.
 Intellectual Charm Endures.
 Moral and intellectual aims count for more than anything else. The body, of course, makes it's de- mands which must be met, but the power behind the machinery of the body is the intellect, and the more animated this becomes the more smoothly will the machinery work. We have all heard men say of a woman: "Yes, she is pretty, but she can't talk
 Therefore if woman has an ac- tive mind. a sympathetic and sunny temper and is interested in the af- fairs of the day she is so secure in her position that she need have no fear of losing her charm when the bloom of youth has gone. She ap- peals to a mans intellect and he is eager to make her his companion.

EMBROIDERY HINTS
 BY MAY MANTON Tranzser Pattern of this Design sen. to Any Address for 10 cents.

These patterns are transferred by the hot iron process. which is the simplest method that has yet been devised for effecting perfect transfef. All that is necessary is to lay the pattern on the material and press over the entire surface with a hot iron when perfect transfer will result.
 The flowers, leaves and dots all can be worked solidly with the stems outlined, or the dots can be worked as eyelets with the remainder of the design in solid en1- broidery, or all the leaves and flowers can be worked as eyelets, with the dots either as eyelets or in solid embroidery.
 Make solid embroidery by first alarming backward and forward over the stamped figure and then cover closely with over and over stitches, worked in the opposite direction from the padding. To outline, take short stitches, keep the needle toward the right and work upward. To make the dots as eyelets, first encircle by running a thread around the outline, pierce with stiletto and work over and over. To make the flowers and leaves as eyelets, first run a thread round the stamped figure, then cut a slight slit lensthwisc, and then crosswise of the long openings, push back the material on the wrong side and work closely over and over.
 Use embroidery cotton in weight adapted to the material.

 A good method of keeping butter from turning rancid in hot weather is to put it in brine. Take jar and put water in, then add salt until you have a brine strong enough to float a potato. Put the butter in the jar, cover, and keep in a cool place.
 When watering plants be careful not to water them too freuuently; this will cause the soil to become waterlogged and the plants will die A way to test the soil is to rap the side of the pot; if it rings clear the soil is dry; if the sound is dull do not mOisten.

GAVE A GRAND CONCERT

Prof ID. F. Gifford's combined or
chestras gave an orchestra concert at
the M. Il. church Tuesday evening to
a good sized audience. If the wealth
er had not been so extremely cold.
the church would have been filed to
its utmost capacity.
The concert was a grand success.
The program was composed of yari-
ETY. of selections. The opening num-
Der was given by the combined or
chestras after which the first orches-
ira furnished most of the music. They
were assisted by Mr.. Sheldorf, clarin-
etist, of Manning and Mrs. Adams,
with the flute. These same orchestras
gave a concert some six months ago
and the people who were privileged
to hear them Tuesday were unani-
mously of the opinion that the music
ians had made marked improvement.
Prof Clifford is to be congratulated
for his splendid efforts to give Audi
bon a musical organization that is in
deed credit to the town and the peo-
pie in general are pleased to note
that we have such excellent home tai
ent.
Miss Wynona Farquhar gave a
reading and Mr.. Hoogenakker rem
dered a'vocal solo with orchestra ac-
compartment and both of these num-
bers were we'll rendered and gave a
variety to the program that was APP
preciated.

KILLED BY ACCIDENT
Gun In Hands of NeighbOr Boy Dis.
charged as Young Man Takes
it To Shoot at Mark.

A very serious and distressing ac-
cident took place last Monday after
noon in Greeley township, seven
miles east of Evira when Nels Refs
gard was accidently killed when
gun was discharged in the hands of
George Hoover, son of Jerry Hoover.
From all information we have been
able to secure, it seems that a num-
Der of boys were returning to their
homes from school. They were on
the River to River Road and young
Reisgaard was shooting at crow and
at mark when the Hoover boy came
along. Young Reisgaard had done
some shooting and when he reloaded
the gun he handed 1t to young Hoover
who is but eleven years old. He ask
ed the Reisgaard boy Of the safety
had been put on, and when he was
informen that it had, took the gun
with the intention of shooting at the
mark. Just as the Hoover boy was
putting the gun to. his shoulder to
take aim, the gun discharged, the en-
tire load taking effect in the body of
Reisgaard, who is sixteen years old.
The boy fell to the ground mortally
wounded. In the excitement the
children scarcely knew what to do,
but the PROSTATE body was put on
sled and taken to his home nearby,
where a physician was called His
parents were in Audubon when the
accident happened. They were COM
municated with and returned to the
sad scene at once.
After the death of the boy, Sheriff
Sunberg was notified and SO was cor
oner, A. G. Harmon. Mr.. Harmon and
deputy Sheriff Reynolds went to the
scene. A coroner's jury was empan-
neled composed of Geo. l.. Gore. Geo.
Schwab and Lawrence Petersen. A
number of witnesses were examin-
ed and thorough investigation was
made.
After hearing all of the evidence,
the jury returned a verdict that
young Reisgaard had come to his
gun in the hands of George Hoo
yer.
Funeral services will be held at
the home this morning at 10:30.
After the service at the home the
body will be taken to st. Johns
church west of Extra where services
will be held, conducted by Rev. Ras-
Mussen. The body of the unfortunate
boy was laid to rest beside his moth
er in st. John cemetery.
Nels A. Reisgaard was born Oct.
6, 1898 in West Extra, was the old
est son of Mr.. and Mrs. Pete Refs
gard. His mother died when he was
small and he with his younger broth
er went to live with their uncle Nels
Reisgaard where he was at the time
of his DEATH.
He leaves to mourn his loss one
sister, Miss Hilda Reisgaard of Ex-
ira who makes her home with Mr..
and Mrs. Joe Gearhart and one broth
er, Emmert who was with him at his
death, and his father and step-moth-
err, Mr.. and Mrs. Pete Reissaard and

The second contest at the Melville
Center Sunday school closed last
Sunday. The class was divided into
two sections one of which was desig-
mated the blues and led by Mildred
HOLSTER and the other section, the
reds, was led by Grace Campbell.
Sometime ago a similar contest
closed with box supper and pro-
gram at the church, but this time it
came to a fitting close with a class
party last night at the home of the
teacher, Mrs. A. j. Hunt. The con-
tests were started for the purpose of
securing new members for the class
and for the ones learning the largest
of Bible verses. There has
been much good natured rivalry and
the class now numbers 81. The Mel
Vile Center church now has an en-
rollment of 40 to As and much inter-
est is being manifested.
