From what he learned there were several women sitting on a bench near the house in which Dean was said to have been cleaning pistol. Sud- denly a shot rang out and the Bailey woman fell, shot through the neck. the bullet lodging in the jaw. Medical assist ance was summoned and she was minis tered to. but in little while the wound proved fatal
 Coroner Spain was notified of the affair and authorized Justice of the Peace Thompson to hold an inquest over the body.

 ''To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 We are white women convicts of Jeff ferson county. We have read the article in this mornings Age-Herald in regard to the deplorable accident that happened to Dorothy Bailey. one of our comrades, yesterday afternoon. There is no 'mys. tery shrouding the accident as your pa per stated.
 You or any representative will be kindly received. We were everyone pres ent at the time and we will gladly an- swer all questions asked.
 'The shooting was purely accidental and we are sure that no one deplores the accident more than the gentleman who was handling the gun. There Is not one of us who would have one of our com rades shot and then try to cover 1t un and we do think that it is doing us an injustice to say that the accident of yes. terday Is shrouded in mystery
 We gave our sworn statements to the coronei's Jury. which we suppose Is open to the public. We are here ready and willing to answer all questions asked to the very best of our knowledge. There are seven of us here; take the crowd and you may find intelligence enough td give the information desired.

DON'T ABUSE YOUR BODY.

That wise woman, Mrs. Grisilda
Wallace, said: mo woman has any
more right to abuse her own body
than that OF any other woman" and
yet how many OF US abuse our bodies
and shorten our lives by saying. "Oh,
I haven't the time to do SO and So"
and put of until sone other day what
should be done today. We. alas, wait
until the tell-tale lines begin to appear
then wonder why our complexion Isn't
as It was at sixteen.
It Is not an unusual thing to meet
q friend whom you haven't seen Tor
years and at once decide that she
looks ten years younger. What
comfort 1t Is to go home. and after
taking careful survey of our appear
ance, to decide that we are growing
younger! It makes us feel gay and
risky and there is a sudden fluNer
around the heart as though some one
had deposited Unexpectedly q large
amount in the bank to our credit, for
We are only as strong as our reserved
forces, and when that force is low. we
break in the weak place. Therefore,
let the balance Of reserve accumulate.
Here is pleasant little plan: Go to
market every morning and walk
around the longest way-somethin
like the old love gong. The Longest
Way Round is the Shortest Way
Homeland it will be the shortest
way to regain your vigor. Take
nap in the afternoon-a cup OF hot
water and short nap il inclined to
plumpness; If lean, sip slowly a hot
glass of milk and take a long nap.
At bedtime and also on arising, drink
a cup OF hot water or hot milk. as the
case may demand. Before the after
noon rest apply Hourishing cream
