Mllady's
Mirror
Avoid Nervous 6rinnacins.

A great destroyer Of beauty lines
in the face is the nervous twisting of
the lips and grimaces. Many women
are guilty Of these when talking They
are unbecoming habits and are the
means Of developing many ugly lines
and wrinkles that prematurely age one.
Time, worry and habit are three
things that line the forehead with fur
rows and bring sagging condition OF
the muscles, especially affecting the
muscles under the chin. When these
muscles lose their elasticity the result
Is the unsightly double chin.
The reason that burrows (wrinkles)
make their appearance on the counte-
nance Of an aged person is due to the
fact that the fat underlying the skin
becomes absorbed. Consequently the
cuticle loosens and becomes wrinkled.
To remedy this condition gently mas
sage these parts with good skin food;
then before retiring adjust forehead
band which has been Amounted with
skin food. This should be worn each
night.
Sagging cheek muscles may be
strengthened and contracted with mas
sage and an astringent lotion and. as
has been said before. tightly bound up
overnight with band-either muslin
or rubber.
In regard to premature wrinkles
caused by worry or habits. they should
not only be treated with massage. as
previously directed, but one should
learn to control the muscles to obtain
a calm and pleasant expression. which
is a great aid to beauty.

time every day to some physical exer,
cises these evils may be overcome.
Many and various are the forms Of
calisthenics. The daily use Of dumb
bells will strengthen all the muscles Of
the arms and chest and at the same
time promote a free circulation Of the
blood.
Then there Is the expander. This is
formed Of a strip Of the very strong
est kind of elastic. with loops or han
dies at each end to hold. 1t can easily
be made at home 1t should be held In
both hands and be slowly expanded
and passed over the head. This tends
to develop the chest and strengthen
the back.
Exercises Of this sort should be per
formed regularly every day, and they
must be done steadily. slowly and
firmly.
Dress for any form Of muscular ex-
ercise should be light, flexible and WOOL
len. No corsets should be worn. and
the bodice and underclothing must be
large enough to allow perfect freedom
Of the arms.

If the hands are rubbed over once a

Chapped hands are almost always

Brushing the Teeth Req larry.

Brushing the Teeth Regularly.
II the child is taught early to brush
its teeth 1t becomes matter of habit,
which it carries through life, and the
result is a fairly perfect set.
If the first teeth are brushed and
kept In good condition, and dentist
visited at least once in six months
there is little danger of the second
teeth being infected or crooked.
1t sometimes happens that a first
tooth remains In the gum too long
that Is. after the second tooth shows
signs of coming through. This cOndi
ton should not be allowed to exist. as
the first tooth Is liable to irritate the
gum. which will become sore and In;
fected. and pus will be the result.
II the first tooth does not fall out
naturally on the appearance of the
second the child should be taken to
dentist and the offending tooth re-
moved.
Crowded and irregular teeth are Of
ten the result of first teeth remaining
too long in the gum.
Buying children's Garments.
In buying goods for children the
mother should invest only in those ma.
terials which are very closely woven.
II Is not SO much the weight Of the
goods as the weave. The loose weaves
pull apart In no time, and for children
they are practically useless. A tight
weave need not be very heavy, but 1t
will wear well. 1t is most important
to consider this carefully when buying.
Then. too. when a really fine piece
Vt goods IL found It IL better to buy In
large quantities. for another fine piece
may not be found, and the same mate
rial may be used In many ways.
7 For instance. from one kind Of goods
may be made two dresses for the little
daughter. each in a different style and
with different trimming. a little suit
for thefson and perhaps even a skirt
for the mother herself. There need
never be any waste In fine goods, for
Il can serve In many different ways.

MAKING LESS NOISE.

At the last concert in city park there
was an absence of the offensive honk-
ing of auto alarms which had brought
complaint at former concerts because
of the proximity of hospital. The
attention OF the people was called to
the irritation the unnecessary noise
caused the hospital patients and the
noise ceased. People are willing to
discontinue an unnecessary practice
which causes others irritation and dis.
comfort, If only the matter is called
to their attention.
There are still several varieties of
noises that could easily be eliminated.
One of these Is the running of autos
through the business part of the city
with the mufflers cut out. This is q
violation of the state law, as well as an
irritation to all within hearing. Like
wise, autoists should make as little
noise as possible in running east on
Second street in the vicinity of the
Ottumwa hospital. The roar of an
open exhaust is anything but soothing
to the nerves Of the patients at the
hospital.

JAP CABINET CRISIS.

News dispatches tell US, that Japan
Is having some trouble in the highest
Official circles where there are charges
of graft. The Japs have shown in the
last forty years their ability to meet
governmental and political emer-
gencies and doubtless they will take
care Of the present crisis in their usual
capable manner. At any rate the
crisis is purely Japanese matter and
not one for the United States to worry
over Premier Okumi who felt that
his resignation was necessary because
of the charges against one of his min.
listers. Is very popular in Japan and
will in all likelihood be In the new
cabinet even If no longer at the head
Okumi's popularity is good indica-
ton of Japanese sentiment toward the
United States, for Okumi is distinctly
friendly to this country. In fact a
study of Japanese statements and
policies is convincing proof that there
is no basis for the agitation of a
limited few in this country who are
proclaiming the oriental peril" IA

claims that they have enough room for
expansion in Korea and Manchuria to

WHAT PROTECTION DOES.

The protective tariff on moving pic
ture films, which prevents foreign
manufacturers from invading this field,
has practically given the American
film producers the British field as we'll
as the American field. A London cor
respondent Of The Associated Press
writes:
American film plays depicting Amer
lean life in purely American settings.
have largely a monopoly on British
moving picture theaters. A writer in
one of the London dailies complains
that out of about nine films in each
show seven are likely to be American.
He concludes that while number Of
excellent films have been put out by
British companies based on we'll
known novels, the public prefers the
American, and the proprietors find
them cheaper.
One reason for the success of Amer
lean films, it is pointed out, is econ
omic. While American films enter
Great Britain duty free. British films
are taxed heavily not only In the Uni
ted States but in Canada and Austria
liza. Having the monopoly Of an enor-
nous home area by reason Of the pro
tective traffic, the Americans are able
to export cheaply and undersell the
British on their own soil. British pro-
ducers, moreover, pay heavy local
taxes.
British firms can not afford to sell
films at less than eight cents a foot,
with reasonable profit In view. The

length of a corps Is about fifteen miles,
and when the front attachments be-
come involved in battle 1t will be five
or six hours before the men in the
rear go into action to assist them.
Before this war began it was generally
assumed that a single corps would &C.
cupy about two and one-half to three
miles Of the fighting line; but in actual
experience 1t has been found that the
average front of corps Is consider
ably broader, namely, three and one
half to Ave miles. An army of ten
corps Is not very large, as armies go
III this war; but even such an army
would fight on front of some thirty
seven miles, and the man who under
took to walk from one wing to the
other would require twelve to fourteen
hours in doing it.
The shipment Of m army CORPS by
r.il is no small undertaking. The
troops along require sixty-seven trains,
while the artillery, commissary and
other belongings call for forty one
trains-a total of about 10 trains.
The feeding Of corps appears to be
big problem when the matter Is
worked out upon the basis OF the daily
consumption Of each man and each
horse. The daily average ration OF
soldier in the German army weighs
about 3.6 pounds, while horse gets
his 10 pounds Of oats, and the large
draught horses considerably more.
These figures work out at about $1,000
pounds of food for the men and about
ls6, 900 pounds for the horses, as
minimum. There is thus nearly 3O0.-
600 pounds of provisions to be moved
forward every day, not to mention am
munition. Under the most favorable
conditions, therefore, 1t calls Tor
train Of $50 wagons to bring up the
food for each day.
