For Freckled, Rough
or SpOtty Compilations

The freckling, discoloring or
roughening to which delicate skins
are subject after exposure to wind
or sun, often appearing in early
spring, may readily be gotten rid
of. Mercolized wax. spread lightly
over the face before retiring and
removed in the morning with soar
and water, completely peels off the
disfigured skin. Get an ounce of
the wax at any druggists. There's
no more effective way of banishing
freckles or other cutaneous defects
Little skin particles come off each
day. so the process doesn't even
temporarily mar the complexion.
and one soon acquires a brand new,
spotless, girlishly beautiful face.
Wrinkles caused by weather
worry or illness are best treated by
a simple solution of powdered saxo-
lite, 1 o., dissolved in n pit. witch
hazel. Bathing the face in this pro-
duees q truly marvellous transfer

Washing Won't Rid
Head of Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of
dandruff is to dissolve 1t, then
you destroy 1t entirely. To do
this, get about four ounces of
ordinary liquid arvon; apply it
at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and
rub it in gently with the finger
tips.
Do this tonight, and by morn
ing most IL not all of your dan
druff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will COM
pletely dissolve and entirely de-
stroy, every single sign and trace
of 1t, no matter how much dan
druff you may have.
You will find, too, that all Itch
ing and digging Of the scalp will
stop at once, and your hair will
be fluffy, lustrous. glossy, silky
and soft, and look and feel a hun
dred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t Is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work.

Mary Pickford's Yearly Salary
Is 100000, Yet She's Modest
by GERTRUDE NJ. PRICE.

NJ orsuihSUE w. I-ftiSE.
Los ANGELES. March 16. -
The rosiness of life depends, not
ON money or fame, but on good
digestion.
"II feel cross or blue or have
a headache, just put on my
makeup, get into harness and
forget It.
I'D rather live In a cozy little
house, with flowers inside and
out, where nominees radiates,
than In the biggest mansion In the
land.
Jealousy is the ugliest, least
excusable monster In existence.
There's room for everyone who
will work for what he wants"
The most loved little actress in
the world. not yet 81, courtsied
to me as she delivered these pro-
nouncements on her philosophy
OF life. An emphatic nod sent
the sun-kissed curls tumbling
about her head.
"Out of the mouth of babes
couldn't help thinking.
We were standing Just outside
the big Famous Players Western
moving picture plant at Holly
wood, CAL, where this beloved
little actress and philosopher does
her work.
Her name you've guessed al
ready-Mary Pickford, who draws
the biggest salary In the history
OF the world and who is applaud
ed in every land.
Yet, for all her international
fame and salary that Is a for
tune, she Is as modest and retir-
Ing as violet.
She is almost but not quite 81.
AS big as a good-sized minute,
even high heels and a suggestion
of pompadour In her natural curls
add but a jot to her five feet and
no inches.
TITS nice to be successful" she
said, land I'm proud of the posi-
ton I've been able to attain. But
I'll never forget the one-night
stands of the early days. l can
remember the time wistfully
when / would have thought It
heaven on earth to have been able
to play one town for 10 days.
Some day I'm going to build a
home out here near the hills In
the sunshine. love the trees and
birds and the big open country. 4"
And this modest little morsel OF
Humanity gets an annual salary
OF 100000, which makes IL all
the more strange that this rich
girl should fancy playing poor rag
and latter parts better than auy
others. In fact, her next big pic
ture is one called Rags"

two grown daughters going
to high school and three sons.
Now one woman made free to
tell her this talk was going
on and what she thought
about her. And what do you
think, she told the woman
who wanted to be her friend
that she was too low to talk
to. The girls do not recog-
nize lots of their old friends
any more since this woman
came there to stay, and al
though she is much older
than they, they seldom go on
the street any more unless
she Is with them. Now do
you think she is doing right
to stay there when she knows
this talk is going on about
her and this man?
A READER.
A.--Oh, my! Isn't it scandal
Gus? n would be absolutely inn
possible for a man and woman
who aren't married to live I'm the
same house and be respectable,
wouldn't it, that is, according to
SOME people, and they make me
tired. l think the woman knows
her own business and Is minding
IL a whole lot better than some of
her neighbOrs. i admire her for
being broad enough to live above
evil minds and gossipy tongues,
and i'm my estimation, a father
who endeavors to keep his family
together, even though he must
employ hOusekeeper, ranks
higher than one who doesn't
make an effort. No one with
good common horse sense would
blame his daughters for standing
by him even though they must
sacrifice q few summer friends.
Q.-My husbands salary
Is $35 a month. We pay 81
a month rent for two unfur-
nished rooms; Sc a month on
our furniture; 81 a month
for wood, and average $40
a month for groceries. Can
you please suggest some
way that l might save a lit
tie, or more economical
way to live until his salary
Is raised? DOROTHY.
A.-Cut down your grocery
bill. 1t is more than is neces-
sary for two people who are. try
ing to economic. A great many
women who pride themselves on
their frugality are not economical
In their cooking. Buy substan-
tial foods and those that go far
thest; avoid nick-lSnacks and
throw nothing away.
Q.-To settle q dispute,
will you answer the follow
ing questions? A says the
Shoshone Dam in Wyoming
is the highest in the world.
B says the Arrow Rock dam
in Idaho will be the highest
when completed. Which is
correct? E. w.
A.-Both. The Shoshone dam
is the highest; but the Arrow
Rock will be the .highest when
completed.

THE FINAL VERDICT.

THE FINAL VERDICT. sh stories Of Men ND
Women. By sidney L. Nyourg. limo. D. III.
Philadelphl2: ]. b. Nppneott Company.
These stories are all six about law
yers, and the plots of four of them
deal with the practice of the law. The
final verdict" of the fifth story is
question Of the conduct of life by. a
man vino happens to be lawyer by
profession the sixth is legal varia-
ton of the old theme of duty VS.. love.
The first story is the best. 1t tells the
case Of young lawyer who has proved
his fair clients innocence in an I'M
savory divorce case, has fallen in love
with her in the course of his profes-
sional association with her, and VINO
is about 10 propose to her when he
learns from her own lips that all the
black charges brought against her
which he has disproved in court, are
really true. Mr. Nyburg's ictional
practice of the law is, indeed, chiefly
concerned with marriage, divorce and
the custody Of children. One OF his
cases is, furthermore, complicated by
a pretty blackmailer. "A Legal Fic'
ton" is roo far-fetched TO interest the
reader. As matter Of fact, none OF
these stories is of any particular i'm,
portance or strikingly interesting. II
would seem as il the practice OF the
law at the bar and on the bench could
yield far better material than Mr.. Ny
burg has drawn from IT.

gathered by the Society of Psychicsl

Of self-delusion or deliberate fraud.
This Unknown, he continues, comes
ain a rather sinister way TO trouble

And the means 1t employs are the IA

might say the certainty, OF becoming
involved in controversy. Nevertheless,
such histories should be written, and
we must be prepared to overlook soma
inevitable imperfections in them IN
view Of the very conditions which we
have described.
Professor Beard has on the whole
done his work we'll, though J.. -
marred by some glazing errors similar
20 those which We have pointed out in
Professor BaSsett's work. Thus, IA tell
ing of the anteccdcnts Of our war with
Spain he tells Us that Mr.. Cleveland's
second administration closed without
any positive action on the Cuban ques-
/ ton. Within four months after
! mis- Inauguration President Mckinley
protested strongly TO Spain against her
policy in Cuba" Both these statements
are quite true, yet the impression con-

[ tirely fails even TO suggest what was
on the whole the most significant pcli'i-
cal circumstance o. shat tlmc-thst
President Clcyelaud'S last message and
President Mcklnlcy's first message
both took very advanced ground on the
Cuban question, and both took idenu-
cally the same ground, so that one
might trsnspose from one message 20
the other the passages on that subject
without the slightest incongruity.
Again. the author twice repeats the per-
sistent error which We have noted
above, of saying that we purchased the
Philippines from Spain for 10000, 600.
There is also a faulty sense of pro-
portion shown in many places, perhaps
most Of all in 4 sighting Of the fore ign
relations OF this country, which have
been particularly interesting and i'm
portsnt IN the period under considera

Of the feminist advance. Her book has

masses who are interested, but take no
active part in the movement that VIII
benefit them. The leaders, she points
ont. sneak and write eloquently enough
FOR themselves; and as for the ad-
vsnced skrmishers, the extreme theo-
rists. she is not in sympathy with them
and tells us why. An Englishwoman py
birth, an American by marriage, she Is
equally familiar with the past and the
present in the old country and the new,
and both know her as actress, writer
and lecturer. Her book is, indeed, 70
a large extent q comparison between
the present status and future prospects
of feminsm in both countries, and is
outspoken in its condemnation OF the
subiection in which women is held IN
the kingdom. Mrs. Hale considers Ger
many "overmasculinized' By militar-
ism. but what about England, which,
according to her own showing, keeps
its women in far greater subsection
Yet it certainly is not military state
The author shows q wide familiarity
with the literature Of feminsm, Amer

and fiction; third is devoted TO
review and explanation Of present prop
lens, and a fourth to THE Future
Vision" Mrs. Hale has serious quar-
rel with a midVictorian melodrama
called shall We Forgive Herr" She
also points out that Dickens's Mrs.
Jellaby was really an early feminist
with the wider vision OF woman
sphere, which Is, TO say the least, an
original point OF view; but why does
she include in the list Of our serious
feminist novelists the author OF the
extremely fluffy "Bambi"? And she
nraises the author Of within the Law
as a feminist dramatst.
On the whole, however, this IS
sensible, brief survey OF the begin
n;ugs OF feminism, its progress

tions.
