large acreage of ground broken up,

and indication points to a bumper
corn crop in this section of the par
ish.
The moss factory here is present.
ly running at full forceWith a large
supply of moss and Palmetto has
once more assumed a busy aspect.
An entertainment was given at
the school house on last Tuesday
evening by Rev. Father Roy for the
benefit of the proposed new Cath
olic church, Misses Idea. Hudspeth
and Hawkins deserve much nraise
for having successfully drilled the
school children in their recitatiOns
and songs. Father Roy. as a pho
tographer, made a hit, when he dis
played an array of beautiful pic
lures. G. Meyers is a splendid floor
manager and we would recommend
him for any entertainment. Judg-
ing from the manner in which the
refreshments were sold we would
pronounce Mesdames Isacson, An
derson and Fitzmaurice as excel
lent saIeswomen.

number of scouts present.
During the meeting the boys plan
ned cfoss-country run for that
night: they met on the courthouse
square for the start, the run being
to Washington and back, covering
a distance of twelve miles.
One of the members who attract
ed much attention was our little
scout Joe Eastman, who kept the
pace set by the leader from start

credit for sticking as he was in fast
company. All the scouts showed up
very we'll considering that this was
our first cross-country run.

HE AL TIL HINTS
FACE POWDER.

Face Powder has its dangers the
same as gunpowder. For several
years occasional cases have come un.
der the observation OF socculists in
which the patients. Invariably women,
complain Of vision being blurred, ina.
,bility, to use the eyes for any length OF
time. and severe itching Of the lids.
In these cases the slightest rubbing
of the lids produces a marked redness
and only sggrayates the itching. In
severe cases the lids are frequently
swollen from constant rubbing. &
There is also a sticky. elastic secre:
ton which, when being removed pulls
out in long strings. An examination
of this secretion under a microscope
reveals masses of what appear to be
crystals. Only after considerable re!
search was it. discovered that 1.-THE crys-
tails came from face powder.
When the powder is applied to the
face with puff, a portion Of the fine
dust is driven upwards and lodge on
the moist Seyeball. When this be.
comes mixed with tears 1t changes to
