A Tennessee mountain woman
was eating pigs feet one day at
the door of her cabin when a
neighbor came to tell her bad
news. Her husband had got in
to fight at one of the town sa
looms, a bullet had lodged in his
lungs, and he had died soon
after.
The woman. a pigs foot held
midway to her mouth, listened
to the narrowing tale in silence.
Then, falling on 10 her pigs foot
vigorously, she said:
"Jest you wait till | finish this

eral Service In Columbia

Columbia, S. c., Sept. IT,
The funeral Of Mrs. Annie Howe
of Philadelphia, only sister of
President Wilson will be held in
the First Presbyterian church of
Columbia Monday noon, on ar
rival of the Seaboard Air Line
train from the North, due at
11:35 a. m.
The funeral party will procede

Interment will be made in the

vice, which will be private, will
be brief and simple.
President Wilson has intimat.
ed to friends in Columbia, to
whom the making of arrange
ments for the funeral was in
trusted, that it will accord with
his late sisters desires and his
own if no official cognizance be
taken of the occasion. He comes
not as President but as bereft
brother, returning to his old
home to bury his only sister.
Honors which would otherwise
be paid him therefore be omit
ed out of Difference to his pref
erences and those of the family.
The funeral party after the
interment will lproceed, some to
the private cars parked at the
Seaboard station, others proba-
bly, to apartments which have
been reserved at the Jefferson
Hotel. Most OF those expected
have undergone severe and con-
tinuOus strain during the long
period in which Mrs. Howe lin
gered in a critical condition.
They will leave Columbia al
6:15 o'clock tomorrow evening
via the Seaboard Air Line.
Flowers will be sent to the
church Monday morning be-
tween the hours of 9 and II.
The following have been in.

Joseph Hyde Ptatt. DR.. Pratt is
a colleague of George Howe in

lima State University. He will
join the party in Raleigh tomor-
row morning.
Mrs. Howe will rest beside
her late husband, the beloved
physician" of Columbia, who
died April 20, 1895. The same
modest shaft which marks his
grave will indicate hers also.
But a few feet away and in the
same rallied inclosure are the
graves of her father and mother,
the Rev. DR.. and Mrs. Joseph
Ruggles Wilson. Nearby re-
poses her late husbands father,
tie writer and theologian,
George Howe. Mrs. Howe's
little daughter, Jessie Woodrow
Howe, born October 80, 1878
who died January 80. 1885, is

SOME WOMEN steam their faces in a
manner which reminds me Of we'll
worn joke. The doctor told the pa
tient two teaspoonfuls of medicine a
day would cure him in two weeks,
and the patient, wanting to attend a
picnic next day, decided to drink the
bottle and get the cure in one dose
instead of dragging the process
along. with results that may be
imagined.
A young woman wrote me once
that she had a bad complexion and
asked for a pimple cream To
soften the skin, she steamed her face
before applying the cream A weeks
treatment showed a good improve
ment and being in a hurry, the lady
steamed her face hard every night.
The result was that the sensitive
skin showed new and more violent
eruptions due simply to irritation
from many steamings, and the pores
expanded and clogged. forming
blackheads.
Never steam the face more than
twice a week, and then very gently.
And as soon as the skin is soft and
the pores opened, rub in cleansing
cream: steam this out, taking the
dirt with it, rub in a bleaching or a
iesh-building cream, rinse with cold
water and ruD piece of ice over the
face, and dust with fine powder
This way, you get all the benefits.
The steam opens the pores, the
cleansing cream enters easily and
absorbs the loosened grit and dirt,
the new clean cream has a chance to
do its work, and the ice closes the
pores tightly preventing dust from
entering again and causing the skin
to become finer in texture.
Harsh steaming. or too frequent
treatment only irritates. Were # not
