To the People of the Tenth Congress
sional District:
I am a candidate for congress, and
now ask for your support in the dem
ocratic primaries to be held the com
ing May. l stand on the Woodrow
Wilson platform of democracy and feel
that great blessings and prosperity
will come to all the people under dem
ecratic government directed by our
great statesmen and Christian Presi-
dent
I have no training in legislation but
Ii you send me to Congress, three
things I now see that I will try to do.
I want a rural mail route to the door
of every home in Western N. c., AID
we need a few millions of dollars from
the National treasury to help US build
good roads, and I believe that we can
get it. And we need today in the
principal towns in our district govern
rlent buildings for the post Office, and
believe that we can get them. I have
a large capital and every dollar of it
consists in my acquaintance with the

ed, will result in some change from
the present condition.
AS is well known, the building was
erected about twenty years ago from
the proceeds derived from the sale OF
bonds. For a numbr of years it was
a valuable asset, but in later years
was condemned as unsafe. Since
then the building has Teen deteriorat-
ing until today the entire upper floor,
containing opera hall, ETC., is of no
service; the roof leaks; the windows
are out; the window shutters have
blown away.
The city commissioners use ona
room, the business manager another,
the fire department is underneath and
that is about all the benefit derived.
Hendersonville is sadly in need of
. public building, with offices suitable
for the city's use, an opera house, a
prison, fire department, ETC., and the
Democrat would be glad to see the
city commissioners take a progressive
step in the direction of d~isposing of
the structure with the view to provid-
ing advantages highly desirable and
for which there is a growing need.
Additional facilities will soon be de-
manded by this growing city, which
today has nc building OF it's own ade-
quately large for a public meeting. If
FIendersonville hopes to enjoy a per-
manent growth it must have theatre
cal attractions, it must have a public
meeting place, a prison, ample and
safe quarters for a fire department.,
suitable offices for the discharge OF
administration affairs, ETC., etc.
Of course H~endersonville is not
with money. We do not hope
to see it over blessed with finances at
an early date for it is not often the
CT of municipalities to be so favored.
therefore delay until the present build
ng becomes what might possibly be a
liability cannot be made in
he hope of boarding fabulous wealth.
The Democrat sincerely trusts that
something will grow of the present
agitation along this line. at the same
being cognizant of the many per-
phases confronting the Off
on this subject.

THE CITY HALL,

The average taxpayer of Hender-

the discussion and consideration that
is BEING given to the proposed DISPOSE
ton of the city hall at an early date.
The discussions are new by no
means, but that there is a progressive
sentiment among the board of com

OF the municipal building into all
asset of which the city would feel
proud, is sufficient cause to stimulate
renewed thought that, it is to be hop

 Zine.)

zine.)
 What are you going to do for your complexion these warm summer days. when dust is in the air, and the sun burns at every turn? Never in the whole year are you quite so anxious to look your best, as now!
 The quickest and most direct way of treating the blemishes that come with the hot weather is tn take each one separately and apply it's own spe- cific remedy.
 Powder Is one of the causes of a poor skin at this time of the year. But this does not imply that face powders are not good for the complexion; on the contrary, it can be stated that they are highly beneficial, but one must know how to use them. Pow der should be applied to the face only after 1t has been rubbed with good cleansing cream: and even then. 1t should be>put on lightly and rubbed in until not a. particle of it is visi ble.
 Wash the face daily in very hot water
 Use plenty of soap. lathering the face ,and neck with soap jelly, and rinsing 1t off afterwards with a bath hose
 Let no soap remain upon the skin, but be sure that 1t is removed by us- ing as many waters upon it as one has patience to apply.
 After the thorough washing. the skin must have a little cream or little skin food massag ged into It. Then it Is ready for further treatment
 If the cheeks are thin, or there are hollows in the neck. there is noth- ing so beneficial as slow massage. A gentle "spatting' of the skin will de- velop it and increase the flesh under meath. For thin face five minutes "spatting' each day is advised
 Where the face and neck are too fat heavy massage is preferab ble In deed, there are these differences in the quality of massage: that while quick massage takes off the flesh. a slow rubbing will develop It.
