 Why, l never looked so well before in all my lifer she exclaimed. How did you dc it?'
 Then told her. and l am going to tell you, too, so you will understand. that the proper use of face powder is really an art Of course. we long ago over come all objections to it's use Very few of us indeed are blessed with skin that is not improved with the judicious appli- cation of a good-face powder. None of us want to look shiny and glistening. A prominent nose should not be highly DOW dered; small flat nose should; the fore head should always be remembered with a generous amount of powder, while the checks must be powdered according to the height of the cheekbones and the shape of the nose. After had given my customer instructions to powdering and also demonstrated my ideas. she was the happiest of women, and the very next day called me over the phone, just to let ms know that her husband had compliment ed her by saying:
 I told you you would look ever so much better if you would stop using pow der
 We had hearty laugh over this, but after all it proved just what I claimed that the proper use of face powder is all art

SUFFERED AWFULLY

A Lady's Suffering Was So In tense, That at Times, She Was Unable to
 Straighten Her
 Body

Walnut, N. C.-"About 12 years ago." says Mrs. S. W. Mcclure, of Wal nut, q began to fail in health. getting worse all the time. I wasn't able to do my work, suffering awfully at times with pains in sides, especially the right side. and none of the time was I well.
 Sometimes I could not straigthen up my body for the intense suffering suf- fered more or less all the time and was irregular
 As Cardui has helped others, started trying it. I bought six bottles. and after using two or three bottles, I com menced improving, getting better all the time, until I was entirely well.

 Cardui is fine medicine for suffer ing women, and I recommend it to all my friends who have womanly trou- ble'

Ole Miss, de Care uv de Hair is a very Important thing in mos Wimmin's lives kase dey Parts hit every Mawnin', an Parts Wid Hit every Evenin'! Yassuml

50 many hairdressers fail to grasp the idea that becomingness is the first essen- tial," Mrs. Dennerle continued. Tt doesn't matter how artistically a coiffeur may be arranged, the customer is never pleased if it.i.s not becoming. The hairdresser must study the face of each customer. The high forehead needs wide effect in hair dressing. for instance; the receding chin and forehead call for a pompadour effect, rathe. low and projecting; when the chin or forehead project the front hair should be worr close to the forehead, but neither too high nor too flat on top of the head; when the back of the head is inclined to be fiat, low masses of hair should be used in order to balance the fullness of the face; when the nose is conspicuously large, the greatest care should be eXer- cised in getting a good profile effect in hair dressing. as any deviation from a becoming style accentuates this ungainly feature and enhances the homeliness of the face; when the nose is little and up- turned the hair should be worn back from the forehead. and the psyche knot or cluster of puffs. makes a most becoming coiffeur for this style of beauty
 f"In the care of the hair" Mrs. Dennerle went on to say, ''the greatest attention should be paid to details. For instance, many women use cheap hairpins and use them until they get rusty and worn, bent out of shape and rough, when if they stopped to think of it a minute they would realize how they injure the hair. There are silk-covered hairpins being made now to match any color of hair. This is quite an innovation, by the way"
 "The new fluffy hair dress demands n very young complexion, it seems to me, as we usually associate huffiness with youth" l observed.
 "rhat is easy to have" Mrs. Dennerle said agingly. Some one has said that in mems faces lines are only lines, but in women's faces lines are wrinkles, simply wrinkles and nothing more How ever that may be, there are few women who are resigned to the possibility or act uality of wrinkles and ugly skin. With the wonderful things that can be accomplished by massage there is excuse for any woman to look old or wrnkled no matter what her age is. Cold cream cleansers, sanitary powder, and if she needs bit of rouge, though it is scarcely ever neces- sary after good electric massage, may all be used with good effect. An amateur makeup is easily responsible, and every woman should take lessons in how to ap- ply rouge and powder. To illustrate what 1 mean I will tell you about a customer who came to me recently with a tale of woe which I was inclined to smile at, un- til I thought it over. She said: wish you would tell me just what to do about using face powder. My husband is always complaining that I use too much. Really, don't use half as much as my friends, but I must agree that while they are always improved by it's use, do seem to appear a perfect fright
 q studied her features for a few mo- ments and then I Said, Remove your hat and let me try my hand at it.

ANNISTON

Anniston. March 5.--(Special) 1.-The city court grand jury has been in session for tive weeks and is expected to adjourn Saturday afternoon, and their report is awaited by the citizens of this county with much interest. Tn charging the grand jury, Judge Thomas w. Coleman laid particular stress upon their duty to investigate the killing of such large number of the members of the Anniston police force. He requested them, if pos s,ble, to determine the causes for the kill ing of the officers. and prominent citi- zens of the county have been asked by the grand jury to give their opinions as to the causes which led to the trouble in each of the cases.

Watson, has taken charge of the office, and has been busy for several days getting the books and records in order.
