Poverty . Stlmulane.

The stings of poverty are often the incentives that stir to action. A fellow will bestir hinrself mighty hard before he will starve. And if he has the right self-respect he will go the limit before he will resort to charity. All over the land there are men looking for fellows with the right metal for big enter prises. When they see fellow trying to make good they usually see that he gets the chance. In the hustle for bread and butter habits are formed that often lead to marked efficiency. Necessity often starts movements that result in untold good. What Is com. pulsion at first often becomes privilege and pleasure later on.

A Never Failing Way
 to Banish Ugly Hairs
Aids to Beauty

No woman is immune to superflu- ous growths. and because these are likely to appear at any time, it is ad- visable to always have some dela- tone powder handy to use when the occasion arises. A paste is made with some of the powder and water and spread upon the hairy surface; in about minutes this $ carefully re- moved and the skin washed. You wl.l then find that your skin is entirely free from hair or fuzz. Be sure how ever, to get real delatone. (Advt)

STRIDE OF A TEXAS TOWN.

In 1913 Corpus Christi, Texas, was ill-lighted, lacked a single improved street, and but a few miles of side walk paving. Wornout and decrepit street cars bumped their weary way, a jest to tourist strangers and a source of shame to residents. The water supply was weak. A volunteer company gave fire protection. An unsightly bluff frowned down on the business. section of the city.
 But a delightful climate, even tenn perature, fine sea beach and medi- cinal sulphur wells impressed citi- zens that the town had future If they cared to do as much for it as nature had done.
 In 1916 Corpus Christi has 12 miles of well-paved streets and more under construction. 17 miles of sanitary sewers. nine miles of storm sewer. q garbage crematory plant, new city building, national guard arnlory, a commercial club, municipal markets. several pieces of motor-drlven fire apparatus and 2S9 arc lights. new water plant cost $300.00O. In one year more than 15 miles of water pipe were laid. A $50,0O0 municipal wharf was built. The ugly bluff in the ousi- ness district has been turned into a beautiful parapet. ornamented with stone approaches and surmounted by lighting standards. The improved looks of the place has goaded the street car company Y" improve its rolling stock And with the develop ment of the streets, general buildins has advanced wonderfully.
 The reason The Graphic dwells upon this remarkable transformation of a small town is obvious. It $ done to illustrate what push and energy applied in the right directions can do.
 Corpus Christi was poor, decrep.t and insignificant three years ago; now it is on the road to unexampled prosperity.
 Of course, some things were pos sible in Corpus Christi that are mad visable in Pine Bluff.
 But what we ought to get Is the spirit of Corpus Christi.
