To Improve the Complexion

For those who are so unfortunate
as to have rough. pimply skins there
is a remedy which is within the
reach OF everyone and costs no money
This beautifier is water, plain water
from the faucet used as a cleansing
wash. A daily washing of the skin
from head to foot will remove the
blemishes. This treatment has two
fold action--lt first makes one clean,
and, secondly il stirs up the sluggish
blood vessels all over the body and
sends the red blood to every part as
nourishment. One needs to drink
water, too, in order to be in health
and to have a soft, smooth skin.
The people who seldom drink water
are never plump or rosy; they are
invariably yellowish and wrinkled.
Another aid TO beauty is eXercise-a
brisk walk for an hour every day. If
there is no opportunity to take a walk
daily. dance-dancing if not too long
continued, is a good exercise for every
one.

THANKSGIVIN' NIGHT
BY Wilbur y. Nesbit
always happy weather

by WllDuT II. 4NeSDll
O, it's always happy weather
When it comes Thanksgivin' night
An we're all at home together
With the fireplace givin' light,
An we set there in the glimmer-
All of us down to the dog
While the sap begins to simmer
From the hickory backlog.
For we're all at home together;
Henrys come clear from the coast.
An the rest-we can't tell whether
There is one we love the most,
For there amt! An me an Mother
Call them in from west an east
Just TO be with one another,
An there's none we love the least
Lizzie, Mary and her baby
Gust like she wuz at it's ageD
Makes us somehow feel that maybe
Time has been turned back a page,
For they're boys an girls made over
An the family's like it wuz,
Even old rheumatic Rover
Ways his tail till it will buzz
At the dinner all is riot
Just as soon as I've said grace,
But at night we all grow quiet
Clustered round the old fireplace.
Done with talkin' of their doin's
In the cities where they live,
OF their hopin's an pursuins,
Now's the time there's thanks to
give,
Me an Mother-me an Mother
Lord, the children never knew
When one went an then another,
What a valley we went through!
But Thanksgivin night together,
Just a-thinkin' each of each,
IT'S the good old backbone weather
Where the hearts too full for
speech.
Not word from any Of us
While we watch the embers die,
But the good Lord up above us
Hears the prayer in each sigh
That tells of the thanks we're givin'
That the world is runnin' right,
An that life is worth the Twin
When 1t comes Thanksgivin' night.

EDUCATIONAL NOTES

COUNTY sUPERINTENpENTs,

At the recent state teachers con-
vention at Kalamazoo the following
significant resolution was adopted:
Resolved that the county commission
ers Of schools should be appointed by
a county board Of education"
The importance Of the idea Of this
resolution can hardly be overestimat-
ed.
Under the present regime the coun-
ty school commissioner is elected un-
der the party system and although
fortunately many good commissioners
have been elected nevertheless there
has always been the danger of a
political slant to the election. And

Late for Dinner

Never force children to eat when
they are hot and tired let them cool
down a little first. For this reason
an interval should always be allowed
between work or playtime and the
meal, and the nurse or governess
must be instructed to bring the young
sters home at least twenty minutes
before the actual meal time. and in
a leisurely manner. Hurrying on the

temper and digestion! If child

THANKSGIVING HYMN

We thank Thee, o Father, for all that
is bright
The CLEAN of the day and the stars
Of the night;
The flowers OF our youth and the fruits
Of our prime,
And blessings that march down the
pathway of time.
We thank Thee, o Father. for all that
is drear-
The sob Of the tempest, the flow Of
the tear;
For never in blindness, and never in
vain,
Thy mercy permitted a sorrow or
pain.
We thank Thee, o Father, for song
and for feast
The harvest that glowed, and the

He walked with her to the door. to
Gilbertis surprise, crossed the thresh-

To leave her for an instant was like

when she quickly crossed the small
space between them, threw her arms
around his neck and whispered:

80, I'm with you. May my love and
my confidence support you ever"
1t seemed to him like a benediction.
Again were his arms around her, again
