Cold Cream Bath

The woman who wishes to freshen
herself up in the shortest possible time
and to feel a sense of IMMIGRATION
after a long motor or train journey,
should follow the example Of the
Frenchwoman. In ten minutes a
Frenchwoman can truly rejuvenate
herself. And her methods are of the
simplest.
She remove first her travelling dress
and gives it to the hotel maid to brush.
Then she dips a towel in cold rea
or white vaseline and gently rubs her
face, neck and arms with it. After this
she saturates a corner of the towel
with eau de cologne and water and re-
moves the cold cream.
Finally a rinsing Of cold water is
given. After a thorough drying with q
soft towel a dust of powder is applied
to the face, neck and hands, and the
dust-stained traveller is a new being.
II there is time the feet are also
sprayed and powdered, for there is
nothing which so refreshes one. Then
an application of a spray filled with
eau de cologne to the hair will remove
the dust.
1t takes very little time to accom-
plish all this. 1t is very hygienic for
the skin, and the traveller emerges q
radiant creature, with a softly glowing
complexion, refreshed both in body and
spirit after the fatigue of a long jour-
ney.

You Should Buy Your Gasoline and Kerosene
From The Local Dealers Who Sell Home
Oil Co.'s High Quality Kerosene
and Gasoline

you KNOW that for years you have been obliged to
take what has been handed you by the local agents,
as you had no choice. We can name many farmers
who tell us that they could not run their gas engines on
account of the poor quality of the gasoline they had to take
prior to our coming here.
Since buying and using our gasoline their engines run
as good as ever, and these farmers are good boosters for
our products. ...... ...
Many of the housewives in our city we're obliged for
merly to clean their lamp %chimneys each and every day, as
they were black every morning from the poor quality of
kerosene sold them. Stree they have been using kerosene
from the Home Dill Go. they tell us they have no trouble
with smoked chimneys every morning.
=. You surely want to buy high grade kerosene and gaso-
line when you know you can get it. Home Oil Co. quality
has in 30 days become so well known in Bottneau and vi
entity that it is not necessary to peddle it from house to
house once a week.
Your own past experience with peddlers has taught
you to always beware of %peddlers' for they usually sell
inferior goods.
Most of the merchants in Bottineau, Omemee, Gard
ena, Carbury and souris sell Home Oil Co. products.
Ask your %neighbors how they like what they have
bought OF us. If they report great satisfaction you surely
want to patronize the local people and you will buy Home
oil and gasoline. If you buy in barrel lots or so gallons at
a time you should phone John H. G. Turner, who is our
local agent: He does not sell less than So gallons in one
order. Prices are always guaranteed to be no higher in
barrel lots than you pay on same date to others who sell
here. Prices are subject to change without notice. .
Kerosene may be a triAe higher in price during the
winter, while gasoline may reach a price S cents a gallon
more than you pay now.
We will also soon have a full line of Lu bricating Oils
to sell you.
Local merchants handling Home Oil Co.. products are:
Catin, Smith Co., Patrons Exchange, 7. F. Woods,
Sanitary Grocery, Ferguson Bros, W. R. Mcintosh, F.

The Man Who Is Devoted Only to Him
self Is a Drag on Society
By Rev. Dr.. EDWARD YATES HILL, Pastor First Prebyte;an
Church. Philadelphia

7 EADERS are the incandescent points in the life of people, and the
finest leadership produces evolution rather than revolution. Not
all people can become leaders, but the functions of great inshtu-
tons today are, first, to sMt out and develop the ablest men for this life;
SECOND, TO PERMEATE IN THE PEOPLE A HOSPITALITY
CONDUCIVE TO HIGH IDEALS. THE MAN MUST FIRST BE
We need leaders in our social life today and wherever public opinion
is expressed. Democracy arises according to its leaders. But we must
check the irrational drift which will be an awful calamity If it is left to
go on long enough.
THE EUROPEAN WAR IS THE RESULT OF A POOR DRIFTING or
DIPLOMACY WHICH HAS NO PRINCIPLE UNDER IT BUT DECEIT.
GREED AND ENVY. AND NEITHER WILL IT DO TO VEIL INDIvlo.
UALIsM IN A CORPORATE NAME.
The man who goes out into the world devoted only to himself is i'm
moral-a bad man and a public calamity who must depend upon society
for existence. A good leader interprets the better nature Of tho people.
Society has no greater asset than the good man.

Health Notes

Ingrowing toe nails are usually
caused by wearing shoes that are too
short and narrow.
A sweetening and antiseptic mouth
wash may be MAJ by boiling CHINA
mon bark in wateS and straining it.
Apples are very heasthful and should
be eaten whenever o%btainable. They
are a great help in digesting other
foods.
If care is taken to push back the
cuticle at the base of the nails when
drying the hands the nails will be kept
in much better condition.
Five miles a day is not too much for
a healthy person to walk, but those
who have not sufficient strength should
go only as far as is not fatiguing.
If possible, comb your hair out and
let 1t hang down your back for a few
minutes each day. There is nothing
better for the hair than sunlight and
air.
A simple remedy for perspiring
hands is made by d%issolving half q
teaspoonful Of b~icarbonate Of soda in a
small cupful Of water. This lotion Is
to be mopped on the hands.
When bathing fresh air is essential,
as the respiratory organs work faster
when enjoying either a hot or cold
plunge, and to shut ones self up in
a small, close, steamy room without a
particle of ventilation takes a certain
beneficial stimulus away from the bath
itself.

The President Of the corporation,
Mr.. j. NJ. Anderson, makes the follow.
ing comment on the business of tho
corporation:
AT the time when our books were
closed on the 30th of October, there
were at least 700 cars in transit and in
terminals awaiting unloading weights.
lnasmuch as we can not make final
returns to shippers until loading
weights have been received, the COM
missions for those cars have not been
placed or the books, and hence have
not been added to the revenue for
October. This commission would
amount to at least 1000. 90, which, add.
ed to the net income reported above,
amounts to 26,OOO.O0 for the period
covered.
"Our business is steadily on the
increase. We are securing new &C.
counts right along. Additional banks
also have given their financial assist
ance to the movement. On August
LIST, for instance, we had but four
banks accepting Equity paper for re-
discount. We have in the neighbor.
hood of twenty banks that are now &C.
cepting our securities for the financing
of the crop movement. We have also
increased our outlet for grain. 1t 10
impossible now to supply the needs of
the buyers who are purchasing grain
from US. There never was a more
prosperous outlook for the Equity than
at the present time.
"The Equity farmers are planning
on a large convention to be held in
st. Paul, December 7th, 9Th and 9Th.
At this time the ground for the Ter
minal Elevator will be broken. A
large number Of speakers have been
secured, and men of national promi.
nence will participate in this conven.

expected to attend"

Architect Dexter
Says That Palisade
Is Most Promising

In talk with architect Granville
W. Dexter this week he stated that
ne had several house plans ready, or
getting ready, for building in the
spring. At least three of these, he
said would be east of Palisade ave-
nue. in Palisade.
Now that this section east of the
Palisade avenue has gotten a start,
L look to see Palisade take a rapid
rise and improve right along. The
Hunicke property seems to have be-
gun sort of mild boom along the
east front. Certainly Mr.. Hunicke
has been wise in adding to his hold
ings there. With plot 200 by 400
feet he certainly has a magnificent
place, and it will be one of the show
places of Bergen in time. Then the
new $4,000 LIE Cato home. This is
one OF the handsomest places any
where. 1t is in keeping with the
finest homes of Englewood or Tena
fly. l do not say this because the
home is my design, but merely be-
cause the corner, harmony in tap
estry brick, represents such a high
ideal in a home The Decoudray
property, is great addition to Pail
SADIE, and has helped along the east
front development greatly. You may
put in | never was an optimist on
Palisade. 1t looks like it had gotten
its long wanted start up grade"
There are many other homes plan
ned in Palisade, mention of which
will be made in due time.

Montclair's social sets, and who has
made herself extremely popular IN
social circles during her stay OF SIX
months in Hasbrouck Heights, was
placed on trial before Judge William
M. Seufert and a jury in the Hack
ensack Courts yesterday On charge
of arson. 1t seemed difficult to con-
ceive how young woman, possessing
such beauty, refinement, and intelll-
gence could be guilty of so serious
an offense and all eyes were fixed
upon her during the day. She smiled
frequently, but for the most time
listened intently to the several wit
nesses who were examined.
Thus far, the evidence produced
made strong case for the State,
and by at least three witnesses all
of them her friends, it was shown
that fires in two separate parts of
the house were discovered within two
minutes after she left in an auto for
Montclair.
Hearing that Mrs. Merrill expected
to spend the weekend in Montclair,
Supervisor of Schools j. C. Thompson
invited her to accompany him and
Mrs. thompson IN Cnelf auto.
Mrs. Madeline c.. Davis, wife of
the rector of the Church of st. John
the Divine, and Mrs. Mary E. Nc
Donald, friends of Mrs. Merrill
waved to the latter as she passed
them in the auto. AS they turned
around and before the auto was out
of sight, they saw smoke issuing
from the Merrill home and gave the
alarm.
The fire occurred about 5:15
o'clock on the evening of September
! II, and Mrs. Merrill was arrested il

$4,000 bail.
Councilman Robert J. Geddes, who
responded to the fire as soon as the
alarm was turned in, testified tina,
conditions in the Merrill home were
so suspicious that he ordered the
police to take charge and sent word
to Prosecutor Huckin's office. He
said he found that eight distinct fires
had been started in different parts
of the house, and that kerosene oil
had been used extensively. Candles
and bundles of excelsior were found
together.
During the afternoon of the fire
Mrs. Merrill left her cat with one
neighbor, her violin with another,
some silverware with another, and
other articles elsewhere, and each
neighbor testified that Mrs. Merrill
had said she was going away for the
week, and was afraid of buglars and
fires.
Mrs. Merrill sent her two little
daughters to New York early Satur-
day morning. Mrs. Thompson testi-
fled that during the trip to Mont
clair Mrs. Merrill had expressed a
fear of burglars and fire.

Hackensack High
School Still Causing
Oceans Of Trouble

Some weeks ago there was a re-
port circulated to the effect that the
Hackensack high school building was
a fire trap. In fact, the fire chief
passed upon the building and de-
clared it unsafe in it's present con-
dition. There was great hullabaloo
over it, school was adjourned for
several days, and it was proposed to
build an addition in the rear of the
main building until the matter could
be adjusted, or a new school built.
There was meeting of the Board
of Education in Hackensack this
week, and the matter of a new school
received attention. In speaking Of
this meeting the Record said:
"Plans and specifications for the
new temporary annex to the High
School building have been mailed to
the State Board of Education at
Trenton. When approved the clerk
will be notified to call special meet
ing of the Board to fix date for a
public hearing to secure permission
to transfer funds for the construc-
ton of the building. The Board will
also fix a date for opening of the
bids.
Messrs. Spiess and Van Valen, in
speaking of the proposed meetings in
the various wards of the town, for
the purpose Of obtaining the opinion
of the voters on new school build
ings held that it was more desirable
to present some definite plan rather
than go into the meetings without
any proposition to submit to the
people.
Chairman Loveland said that the
Board had no pet scheme to favor
and was providing these meetings in
order that the public might suggest
what they wanted.
when the Fire Commissioner
made his report" continued the chair
man, "the statement was made that
it was only case of politics to force
a new High School on the town and
the Board wishes to exonerate ITSELF"
Suitable resolutions concerning the
death of Miss Ada L. Shaffer were
read and approved and ordered
spread on the minutes and a copy
sent to the relatives.
