ST. JINX DAY.

Today is st. Jinx's Day., the only
Friday, the Thirteenth to be found
on the calendar of 1915. 1t is to be
hoped little later Oh, when the
pretty custom of celebrating the day
becomes universal, that it will be CIV
en- greater recognition. The popular
ity of st. Jinx's carnival is making
distinct progress, however, and it is
noticed now that many more people
are unlucky on Friday, the 18th, than
has been the case heretofore. III an
other year or two most all of us will
be willing to swallow cigar holder
or miss the top step in honor of the
saint. AS it is today, quite few are
doing nobly to spread the idea.

Simple Face Peeler

To maintain a clear, white, youth1u'
complexion, there's nothing SO simple
to use and yet so effective as ordinary
mercollzed wax, which you can get al
any drugstore. Just apply the wax
at night as you would cold cream.
In the morning wash it off with warm
water. If you've never tried 1t you
can't imagine the magical effect OF
this harmless home treatment. IL
causes the old WORKOUT scarf skin to
come off in minute particles, little
at time, and soon you have entirely
shed the offensive cuticle. The fresh
young underskin now IN evidence Is
so healthy and girlisn looking, SO
free from any appearance of artificial
ity. YOU wonder why YOU had not
heard of this marvellous complexion
renewing secret long ago.
Equally magical in it's action is a
simple Notwithstanding lotion made
by dissolving an ounce of powdered
saxolite in half pint of witch 'hazel.
Bathing the face in this for two or
three minutes Immediately affects ev-
ery line and furrow and improves ia
cial contour wonderfully. tAdyt.)

GOVERNMENT MAY

Washington, Oct 12-Investigation

ysis of American trade in the Allan
tic or any similar injury to vital
American interests, a broad issue
might be raised transcending the spe-
cific question of international law dis
cussed in connection with the U-boat
raids.
Such consideration as dislocation of
shipping on the Atlantic seaboard,
great increase in marine insurance
rates, and possibly of serious freight
congestion and railroad embargoes,
have been foremost in the minds OF
officials. it was Indicated, and will
determine largely the government S

Scott Nearing, for example 9bhssievss'
that most newspapers are biased or
corrupt because they are not disposed
to embellish their pages with his long
and not very convincing arguments
for national defense, says the New
York World.
Nothing in this world is easier than
for an excited individual to imagine
that his failure to make a profound
impression is due to somebody's pref
udice or dishonesty. Many humbug
gets great srace in newspapers-for a
season. Many a man Of one idea fig-
ures briefly in the big headlines. But
many person profoundly in earnest
is taken up and quickly set down
again because it is found that, after
all, he has no true message.
There is hardly day that does not
develop in some line of thought man
or woman, generally young, who has
discovered that the inherited expert
ence of the human race in it's social
aid political relations is worthless.
IL the humdrum newspapers which
deal in their ignorant way with life
as it is and has been were to accept
all these prophets at their self-valu-
alton this world would be more of a
bedlam than it is.
Truth sometimes has to fight for
hearing. but never hopelessly. Folly
and presumption are much more
likely to receive hasty attention. In
most cases it is when folly and pre-
sumption have been found out and
dropped that we hear of the unfriend-
illness of the press. Truth recognized
and established, presents no resolu.

Homemade varnish.

A simple recipe for a good varnisL
suitable for table tops is as follows
Mix enough lampblack with shellac
to make the mixture black, but not
enough to thicken it much. After sand
papering the wood smooth, apply two
coats OF varnish, sandpapering lightly
after each coat. Over this put one
or two coats of dull varnish. This
makes the wood waterproof, preserves
1t. and improves the appearance Of the
table top.

In making succotash, scrape the
