Home Folks.

Des Moines Register and Leader: It
was the Youths Companion which
suggested recently the advantages. to
be found among home folks when one
had passed the stage of youthful ego
tism which demanded that one be "un-
derstood." Home folks never under
stood you. and after while you are
thankful that they never did. 1t
would be rather embarrassing, really,
had you been actually understood.
Not only is this true because moods
change. and SO also ideals and enthu-
siasms, but because it is frequently
restful to feel perfectly safe and sane
and unreproached among a group Of
persons who have not been treated
to the disarming intimacies Of your
widest dreams: because there is moth

which have grown stale and because
you like occasionally to revert to the

ky Do French Won n
A nays l. ook Young?

In France mothers and daughters
look like sisters. How are the women
there able to retain their youthful
looks until long past middle age? Is it
because they are much given to the
use Of mercolized wax? This wax
possesses a remarkable absorbent
property which quickly removes the
fine particles of cuticle which are
constantly dying and which are the
immediate cause of an old-looking
complexion. Thus the livelier, health
Ter, younger skin beneath is given a

likely it will require two weeks to
make your complexion IS clear, soft
and beautiful as a young girls. Just

CODE SUPPLEMENT
NEARLY READY
Editor Wilcox is Rushing the Work 50
Distribution Can be Made Lat
ter Part of May.

Work OF publishing the supplement
to the code Is progressing rapidly, ac-
cording to C. S. Wilcox, editor. He is
promising to have the volume ready
for distribution the latter part of May.
The copy is being rushed to the state
printer as rapidly as possible and the
force at work on the code is swamped
with the proof reading.
According to the estimate Of the
printer. the supplement will contain q
500 pages. Already 500 pages of the
book have been printed and the remain
der will be sent through at the rate Of
thirty-two pages day. There will be
10000 copies of the supplement issued,
and 5000 will be bound Immediately.
The state binder is instructed to de-
liver to the state authorities the first
consignment of bound volumes within
a week after the last printed pages
reach him.
There is considerable speculation
among the state authorities as to what
will be done with the remaining vol
umes of the supplement of 1907. In
the state store house there are several
thousand OF the books, which accord
ing to the document department,
should be destroyed. The reason there
are SO many of the supplements which
were not distributed is said to have
been that many of the counties of the
state did not furnish the officials of
the county and the township with them.
According to the law all persons hold
ing office may apply to the county au-
thorities for copies of the supplement.
The state department sends to the
counties as many volumes as are ap-
piled for.
1t is believed that this year the sup
PIGMENT will be more widely distribut-
ed and that fewer Of the volumes will
be left on hand at the close of the
period when another supplement is
due.
