How to Keep the Hands From Chap
ping During the Winter.

ping During the Winter.
The first chilly day is the day to be-
gin to wage a war against chapped
hands. If you can keep your hands
from becoming chapped in the transit
tionaI weather between warm and cold.
you will have little. difficulty with
them later on, for it is in the first cold
days, that they are especially. .sensi-
tive to, cold. ..-.. ..... !. =. :,. !,
!Chapped. hands are almost always
caused by insufficient drying. after
washing or perhaps the water was icy
cold and very hard, or. used too hot.
Both extremes are bad for the skin.
To preserve the hands in good condi-
tiou;f in cool weather they should.
whenever possible. be washed in tepid
water, and it: this is softened. by aytea-
spoonful OF borax so much the better.
Be sure to use a soap of good G:lal-
ity and when drying the hands take
the precaution of rubbing each finger
separately. II the hands are rubbed
over once a day with 4 slice of lemon
and a little cold cream or if mutton
tallow is rubbed into them thoroughly
before going to bed at night there will
be little danger of the skin becoming
chapped or rough.
An excellent and delightfully."- fra
grant cold cream for the hands. or the
face. either. can be made as follows:
Take eight ounces of almond OIL one
and one-Quarter of IN ounce OF sperma-
cet1. one and one-quarter of an ounce
of white wax. Shred the wax and the
spermaceti finely and put in china
marmalade jar. a sinai. enamel ware
saucepan will do. Stand It in another
saucepan about !, third full of boiling
water. Keep this simmering until the
ingredients are entirely melted and
then add few DROPS of lavender oil
and pour into small china pots The
little pots in which cheese often comes
are excellent for the purpose. The
preparation can be used us soon as it
is cool and will keep for !, long time
Another invaluable lotion for hands
that are inclined to be red in winter,
even though they do not chap badly. is
made OF lemon juice. eau de cologne
and glycerin, equal parts of each
This can also be used for chapped
hands.
Point to Be Remembered.

BUILDING AND LOAN
I'm GOOD CONDITION
Splendid Statement of Local
Company Shows It's
Rapid Growth.

The statement of the Fairmont
Building & Loan Association publish.
ed in another section OF The West Vir.
gilman is splendid one and shows
the rapid and substantial growth OF
the institution.
AL money received after paying
Withdrawals at the end OF each week
is loaned to members on first mort.
gage on real estate approved by the
board of directors or stockholders
may borrow on the shares OF stock
held by them TO the amount paid in
on them. This is a convenient meth.
cd where only a temporary loan is
needed.
The loans are made on easy terms,
SO that the borrower may have no DIFF
flculty in meeting his obligation, which
Is to pay twenty-five cents per weeA
on each share borrowed, together with
the interest and premiums. ANY 9TH
er amount may be paid on the loan
at any time, or all II desired. Pay
ments are made like rent, so that in
stead OF paying for property owned
by some one else, you are paying for
your own property.
The idea OF the Building & Loan
Association is to assist its members
in buying and building homes, but the
Association must be kept secure at all
times, guarding against loss by fire,
depreciation Of property. &c. The re-
lation between an investor and Dor.
rover stands as equitable as the con.
ditions will permit, as the Association
has a two-fold mission--onc 10 help
the home seeker, and the other the
saver; to encourage frugality among
the people of limited resources.
Any one may become member Of
the Association at any time by apply
ing TO the secretary at the offices Of
the Association in the Jacobs building.
A payment of only twenty-five cents
per week is required on each share
purchased.
AS the directors OF the Association
are composed of the very best bust.
ness men of Fairmont. there is no
doubt that the Association will con-
tinue its good work Of building up
the community.

Grain and Produce.

CHICAGO, Sept. 10.-The septem,
Der wheat future was by far the lead
er In tho markets OF the United States
today. That month advanced 47sc
here over yesterdays closing. Shorts
bought freely, not only around the
lower levels, but followed the market
upward.
1t is known in Board OF Trade cir.
cles that the open interest in Septem.
Der wheat amounted TO many millions
OF bushels when the shorts began
covering ana that there is still large
open interest in that month. Unless
the shorts are favored with weather
favorable for threshing and moving
the crop. they will likely be forced
to go into the pit and bid the price
OF the September future upward.
