THIS SKIN PEELER ALL
THE RAGE IN SOCIETY

X X x x X X X X X X X X X x x \;
There is Il growing tendency among
women of culture and fashion to pay
more attention to hygienic means of
preserving their charms. The advent
of mercolized wax doubtless has been
largely responsible for this. This re-
markable substance produces complex
ions SO natural in appearance, so mag
netieally beautiful artificial complex
ions are no longer desired. Instead of
''doctoring" an offensive skin, the
skin is peeled off. The wax peels the
skin so gradually, in such fine par
tieles, no discomfort is experienced.
The fresher, younger skin beneath,
wholly in eevidence within a week or
two, is lily white, satiny soft and
smooth. It's not a patched-over com
plexion, but brand new one. That
why mercolized wax has become such
"a rage among society folk. The wax
is put on nights like cold cream and
washed off mornings All druggists
have it; one ounce will do.
Another hygienic treatment now
much in favor is one to remove wrin-
hles, made by disolsving l or. powder
ed saxohte in l2 pint witch hazel,
Used as a wash lotion it "acts like
magic. -

A O T IN

Astory which indicates that the get rich quick
promoters are cutting fresh bait Tor suckers came
out of a certain police court proceeding at New
Ark, N. j., the other day.
ID is a story not without interest.
A young man named Murphy was hauled into
court By two men who said they had loaned Muir
ply 1910 in order to get started a company to
be known as Buyers and Investors Of America,
Inc
Suspecting that Murphy was not acting in
good faith they had him arrested.
Murphy had a scheme to make money by gath
ering names of persons about to come into money
and selling these names to men who want to I'M
load so-called securities. One of his plans was:
With $4,000 of borrowed money Murphy
went to one of the large cities. There, he said,
he secured a contract to furnish certain "secur-
tiles" companies the names of 100000 persons
every month living East of the city in question,
who were about to conc into possession OF at
least 100000. He was to do this for a year,
and he was to be paid fo ty cents for each name
supplied.
According to Murphy, therefore, the eastern
half of the United Stat, $ can furnish at least
1900, O00every year who receive S10,0 00.0 avail
able for investment.
With his contract for business amounting to
S48N,000 a year, it shonld have been easy for this
young man toraise the 500, 900 capital he wanted
to set the business of Buyers and Investors of
America" A pretty distinction, that, between
buyers and investors. ,
# you are an unfinished for sucker, your value
to the promoter is forty cents. If you have ever
taken sucker bait, however, land the fellow who
is selling your name can prove it,, your value may
rise as high as $500. You are most valuable
if you can be shown that you have swallowed sew
eral different bats.
In the business Of buying Securities the
cid adage that a burnt child dreds the fire is dis
proved. "Once stung, easy stung again" That
is the promoters theory. And through long ex-
perience he is prepared to back it in his business.
The investment game is one most intricate
and complicated in the world, and the only safe
plan in making investments is to consult your
banker, who is familiar with the business from
beginning to end, and who will gladly give you the
benefit of his knowledge and advice.

A DAILY NEWSPAPER TOWN.

When a town reaches that stage in it's career
when it will proftably support a daily newspaper,
it passes the stage Of a country town and reaches
that of a real city. ~T
Greenwood, MISC, has now reached that stage,
as evidenced by/receipt of the first issue of the
Daily Commonwealth, which made it's initial ap-
pearance on Sept. l. That it will have a success
ful career is certain when it is known that it is
being edited and managed by Hon. j. L. Gillespie,
who has for more than a quarter of a century
proftably conducted the weekly Commonwealth
But let it not be understood that Mr.. Gillespie is
going into the daily field without something more
than mere promises upon which to base its future.
The business interests Of Greenwood have for a
year been clarnoring for a Daily. 1t was needed
not only as a better means to reach the buying
public with the advertising messages OF each in
diyidual merchant, but as a public demonstration
that the town is a 'Daily-size" city. So a num-
Der of the leading merchants at a meeting of the
Commercial Club and in the absence Of the editor
of The Commonwealth, publicly pledged their sup
port, which later took the more tangible form of
contracts for a given amount of space at a profit
able rate, enough, in fact, to guarantee, in adj
vance, the success of the enterprise. And be it
said to the credit of the business interests of
Greenwood, instead of sending away and backing
some "fy-by-night" irresponsible newspaper man,
they went to one of their own men in the same
line of business in whom they had confidence, and
pledged their support.
The same sort of action was taken by the Com
mercial Club in Natchez recently, mention of
which was made in these columns at the time.
And both these progressive towns will soon
feel the beneficial effects of this progressive move
ment, for no town can be greater than it's news
papers, and no newspapers can be greater than
the support behind it.-Yazoo Semi Weekly Sem

EXTRAYAGANT AND WASTEFUL.

Granting our virtues we Americans are too
extravagant and wasteful. The recent effort to
make citizens realize the economic value of waste
may do some good along this line and we hope it
will.
The trouble seems to center in an exaggerated
ego. The average man thinks it foolishness to
save waste paper or clothes or what-not. Usual
ly ne sings it into the back yard, where it stays
until hauled to the dump by the street depart
ment.
The idea is mistaken. Big fortunes are made
through the use of things that are thrown away.
The value of coal tar and its product is a case in
point. For a long time cotton seed was allowed
waste but its meal and oil make it valuable now.
Those who first marketed these wastes made
money. So don't despise the value of anything,
however worthless it appears.

5000 PROFIT ON 25 GRADE HOGS.

There has been a lot Of talk about Yazoo's pro-
fits from hog shipments, but there has been no
single success to compare with the attained by
Prof. H. E.. White, of the Yazoo Agricultural High
School, says the Yazoo Semi-Weekly Sentinel, of
the 9Th inst.
Here's Whites record: Fed and cared for rs
grade Duroc Jersey pigs nearly eight months.
Paid shipping expenses and cost of attention and
all other costs and derived from the sale of the
pigs a profit of nearly $200-S195.3 3 to be exact.
Here's how White did it:
During April and May these pigs wer grazed
on a good white clover pasture" says Prof. White.
They were fed at night and turned to pasture
during the day. In June, the pasture was not so
good but the same practice of feeding. During
July and August they were put on full feed. Self
feeders were used for the corn, tankage, cotton
seed meal and charcoal mixture. They were kept
up from about six O'Clock until 2 o'clock the fol-
lowing day during the whole period of full feed.
From 2 o'clock to 6 o'clock, they we're allowed to
run the pasture. Plenty of fresh water and a
rubbing post, made of a gunny sack nailed to a
post and saturated with oil, were kept where thew
could have access to them at all times"
When asked by the Sentinel reporter what
KIND OF an impression that this experiment would
have on farmers in convincing them that the
proper methods of feeding was the only profitable
way to raise hogs, Prof. White said, '"The exper-
lment would indicate that unless corn can be sold
Tor something over one dollar per bushel, it
VIII pay the farmer to market it through the pig"

THE WAR AFTER THE WAR"

The British government announces the pur-
chase Of 100000 tons of zinc concentrates each
year for the ten years following the war. Private
enterprise in the empire have purchased about
10000 tons annually and it is intended that
France and Belgium shall take the remainder of
4OO,OO0 tons. thus taking the entire control out
OF German hands. News from Paris and Rome
indicate that all governments are pledged to this
policy and after the war that German trade will
De effectually destroyed. Protests have of
course occurred in each country, but no formid-
able opposition has arisen anywhere.
