SOLUTION TO REMOVE HAIR
cisfisurIns Growth on Upper Lip May
Easily Be Done Away WIth-Use
Of Lemon in eeautifyinq.

One of the worst disfigurements
that women fall heir to is the growth
of superfluous hair on the upper lip.
many and varied are the remedies
suggested, but such should be followed
with the greatest discrimination and
judgment.
An excellent cure is suggested as
follows: Moisten the superfluous hairs
with simple sulfo solution. 1t will be
found that this application will dis.
solve the hair and, whether heavy or
light, 1t will disappear.
Most depilatories are apt to leave a
red spot and an extreme irritation Of
the skin, but this particular remedy
will leave the skin soft. smooth and
clear. Its action is gentle and most
effective in Immediately removing the
lair.
Smart women generally keep lemon
on the toilet table. as the application
of fresh lemon Juice is excellent fol
whitening and identifying the hands.
The Juice will also remove stains from
around the finger nails and will vastly
improve the color Of the skin. No toilet
table should be without the ever-use-
full lemon.
It is not universally known that an
excellent whitener for the teeth is to
be found In common salt. The teeth
should be carefully brushed with lit
tie salt at least once a week, taking
care to rinse the mouth out carefully
afterwards, so that not one particle of
the salt may remain around the teeth.
The whitening effect of salt upon the
teeth is instantaneous.

THE WEDDING EVE
BY n. NJ. EGeERT.

Claud Deering was as happy as q
rising young doctor in q small town
could be, for on the next day he was
to marry the best woman In the world
Ray Clifford.
Neither of them was In their first
youth. Deering was thirty and Ray
had shyly confessed that there was
only year or two between them In
age. "A year or. two. my DEAR" she
had said. laughing. land don't forget
the two"
And Ray had been married before.
Deering knew all about that tragedy
in her LIFE; the inexperienced girl of
twenty-five, fascinated by the rogue
who wanted the little legacy that her
father had left her. John Brooks was
a man of the world; he had seen a
good deal of the world, and not its
best side. OF all that Ray was COM
pletely ignorant. She loved him with
all the devotion of her nature, and
would have stuck to him in spite of
all-of his prison record, Of his igno-
BILE life, had he confessed to her. But
having got possession of her small
fortune, Brooks had left her for an
other woman, three months after the
marriage. Later came news of his
death in a brawl in low saloon, and
Ray resumed her maiden name,
Well, one can only take up ones life
again when it has been broken. Ray
took up hers. Nearly six years had
passed before she met Deering, and
their first meeting told them that they
had been made for each other
AS Deering sat in his Office, dream
ing over the happiness in store for
her, there came knock at the door.
He was alone. the old housekeeper
having gone home to her sick sister.
Deering rose and opened the door.
A ragged tramp was standing out
side.

surly scowl.
That's right" answered the doctor
heartily. He felt on good terms with
all the world that night. Come in
and sit down. What can I do for

The man collapsed into a chair, and
then Deering saw that he was in the
last stage Of weakness and emacia-

PRIZE FOR THE HISTORIANS
Priceless Records Found by virglnlan
Librarian Are Being Tabulated
for Publication.

II anything is more wonderfully
fraught with chance than history, it
is undoubtedly the collection of his
torical materials. The rich mine in
which Assistant State Librarian Sven
OF Virginia has been delving for manu-
scripts concerning the Old Dominion,
Kentucky, and the Northwest, is cal.
culated to make the growing tribe of
western antiquarians green with envy.
His zeal and industry in tabulating the
mass Of material that he discovered
in the basement of the library are un-
deniable; but how its exploration was
left for him is story paralleling the
finding Of the Jesuit Narratives and
Kaskaskia records. Mr.. Swem's re-
port, "A List of MSS. Recently De-
posted in the State Library by the
State Auditor" enumerates among the
accumulated state and county papers
Of century and half nearly 100000
pieces of value. Records of property
alone are estimated ito constitute the
most authentic and comprehensive
source material for the economic and
social history of Virginia from 1882
to the close of the war between the
states" Items abound scarcely less
interesting than the following: clark,
George Rogers. Seventy packages Of
letters. accounts, orders. captured pa
pers. and miscellaneous documents
concerning George Rogers Clark and
the Illinois country. 177S-17S3; 300
pieces per package" Nothing of more
interest to the growing army Of curl.

 Both parties wore most mournful faces. The price of land was reaching an uncomfortab1y dizzy height. Wal ingford looked particularly gloomy, and Blackie called attention to that fact. s.szs
 .'They won't go much higher,'' he confidently asserted.

 Since Crompers hung to that resolu- ton, and since Blackie did not seem l anxious to shake his resolve, $5, ,0OQ more was all they bid, and Walling- ford's crowd won the contest at $60,0O0. eff this was a business day I'd take something to bind the bargain.'' an nounced Dad, tEut, seeing that it ain't. if MT.

 Wallingford turned to his committee with pursed lips. He consulted for a moment with his Commercial club friends in low mumbles. then he came to MT. Thompson and MT. Daw with a new proposition.
 seWe may as we'll make short work of this absurd contest" he suggested. 'fIf it is agreeable to. all of you we shall take five minutes for consu1ta- ton, and then offer MT. Thompson written bids for his farm. the highest bidder to get it. ''
 Mr. Daw and MT. Wallingford re- tired with their parties.
 There's no use fooling with this proposition,'' said Blackie. 'HThfs man Wallingford is a reckless cuss. could see that from his eye. had good look at him while we stood there talk- ing.

 Crompers groaned. "tWhy, there ain't hundred acre farm in the state worth that much. Much more than that, I hate to think of Dad Thompson walk ing off with all that money. He'll take every cent of it and go away from the town and buy big wheat farm in Da- kota, like he's threatened all these years.''
