IMPROVING THE SHAPE Of the nose IS
not beyond the skill Of anyone will
ing to persevere. 1t is well to take
this little feature a bit more serious
" than we are generally inclined.
The perfect nose is a rarity. Maybe
that is the reason We are apt to pass
over the fact, and make the best OF
our bad bargains.
Not many of US would care to risk
our whole faces for a chance at q
surgically-perfect nose. and a few Of
US could not afford it. If we we're sure

Is no need to torture ourselves either,
as 10 accused Amy in Little Wom-
en-" Of doing; and instead Of sleeping
all night with the tip of the nose in
q clothes pin to mould it into aristo-
cratic lines, the same thing may be
accomplished by persistently model
ing it between the thumb and fore
finger.
For example, take the nose that
has wide nOstrils and the whole
feature somewhat fiattened in form;
the shaping process will come by a
light pinching motion, with the
thumb and forefnger, starting at the
bridge Of the nose and working to
the tip. Practise this for a few min
utes at a time. II the nose is in
clined to widen at the noStrils, let
the pinching motion be a pgIling one,
also. as you reach the tip OF TIE nose;
but be careful TO pull outwards. and
not down.
If you have acquired blackheads,
scrub the nose with hot water and
soap: and then rub in some cold
cream. If, after you have gotten rid
of them, you find that you have
coarse pores, which spoil the surface
of the skin. battle with any good as

drops of benzoin in a half pint of
water is all that is needed.

The Democratic banner. (Mt. Vernon, Ohio) 1898-192?, 1916-09-12
LOCAL and GENERAL NEWS

Members of the Methodist Protes.
tant church of this city are extreme.
ly pleased over the action of the Mus.
kingum conference at GAINESVILLE
Thursday in recommending that the
1917 session be held in Mt. Vernon.
1t has been twelve years since this
city has had the honor of entertain.
ing the conference. A conference
church was built in GAINESVILLE at that
time where it was understood that all
future sessions should be held.
Next year will mark the diamond
jubilee celebration of the founding of
the conference. A special commits
sion was appointed to take charge of
the arrangements for this affair and
this body of men recommended to the
conference Thursday that Mt. Vernon
should have the honor OF entertaining
the conference at that time.
1t is peculiarly fitting that this city
should be selected for the reason that
rs years ago the Muskingum confer.
ence was given birth here after a
split with the Pittsburgh conference
which resulted in complete aliena.
ton.
A dispatch from GAINESVILLE Friday
stated that all that was needed to
make Mt. Vernon the meeting place
next year was the acceptance by the
local church.
The Banner conversed with several
members of the Methodist Protestant
church here Friday and all were OF
the opinion that the local congrega.
tion would unhesitatingly and enthus.
iastically decide to entertain the con.
ference.
Definite action will be taken upon
the return from the conference of
Rev. o. e. Ford, pastor of the local
church.
The other chief item of business
which the conference took up in its
session Thursday was the matter OF
merging the Muskingum and the
