CURSED HIS HORSE
Magistrate Discouraged Pro-
family Of III Tempered Driver.

Huntington, w. Va.-The finer feel
ings of horses must not be hurt by
blasphemous and profane words, even
IL the animals do give their drivers
great provocation, according to rul-
Ing handed down here by Magistrate
Null in the case OF A. J, West, who was
charged with "cussing" his horse when
the animal baked in the middle of the
car track. To make his ruling more
effective Magistrate Null tackled fine
Of 81 and costs on West
West in explaining why he had used
the Objectionable language declared
that his ''hoss" was baker and would
try the patience Of a Quaker. In fur
ther extenuation West said that his
horse was used to being "cussed" and
didn't understand any other method Of
persuasion
Magistrate Null, however, was ada
mant and refused to remit the fine or
the COSTS. He declared that he is 60
Ing TO make a special effort hereafter
to locate all men who ''cuss" their
horses and when he does so he will
bring them into court, no matter what
their social standing may be. When
he gets them into court, the magistrate

NEW INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.
Impetus Given National Movement to
Obtain Employers Aid.

Extensive plans for uniting capital
and labor in campaign for industrial
education are before the board of man
ayers of the National Society For the
Promotion of Industrial Education, of
which Secretary OF Commerce Redfield
is president.
Efforts will be made to have the
American Federation of Labor cooper
ate in the attempts to spread broadcast
the doctrines of Industrial education.
it is pointed out that the country can
not continually depend upon q supply
OF immigrant labor. but must increas
ingly rely upon the better preparation
Of the native labor supply and that
much OF the training OF the workers
must be done by the employers them
selves.
The board has put itself on record as
supporting "the broad principle that
legislation restricting the hours Of EN-
pioyment Of children between fourteen
and sixteen should hereafter so hand
in hand with legislation for, the proper
use OF the leisure time thus gained" "

A good paste TO use where the nails
are dry is made of sixteen grains each
of powdered resin, table salt and pow
dered alum. Add quarter ounce
sweet almond oil, forty grains white
wax and grain of carmine. A little
of this should he well rubbed into the
nails every night and soon relieves the
dry condition which causes them TO
break easily. AS the manicuring
should only be done once week, this
paste may be applied every night the
week previous. and effects will be very
apparent in short while.
After the process as given is finished
the nails are ready for the polishing
process. and this requires care also, as
81 the buffer is used too long or too
hard the nails will soon get very ten
der and too thin.

The face must often be exposed TO
the spring blasts protected only by a
thin veil. which many times serves to
make the lips and nose chap more than

excellent plan to use little good mas
sage cream before facing the cold
winds, rubbing 1t in gently for only
five minutes, then wiplng 1t off and
using good face powder Literally
rub both in. for the powder and cream
will afford great protection to the skin

Dry the Hands carsfullx.

Always dry the hands carefully after
washing them. A very healing, soften
ing lotion is composed of glycerip and
one ounce of witch hazel. A few drops
rubbed into the hands every time they
are bathed before retiring will usually
keep them soft and white. Soft, white
cotton gloves two sizes larger than the
hands require can be worn at night IL
the hands should be badly chapped,
but If the lotion Is rubbed in while the
hands are warm and moist after bath
ing 1t will be absorbed and gloves will
not be necessary.
