 I've come early to show you some thing interesting" she said to the gro- cer with the smile of woman sure of what she's doing.
 She set the bags on the counter. From one she. drew a tin cup part full of water in which hobbled a tiny glass tube about the size of a homeopathic pill bottle. Holding the tube up to the light she asked Grocer Davit to look through it. With as much curiosity as we'll regulated merchant dare show
 Cloudy oil," he remarked
 Cloudy melted butter" she correct ed. "It stood in warm water half an houy and turned cloudy. It's some of your 34 cent butter
 Put sample of that same butter about the size of the tip of your little finger in this spoon," she said. Then taking the butter he gave her from the firkin in the spoon, she held it over a low gas flame at the back of the store
 Boiling makes it crackle like green leaves on a fire" she remarked, calm ly She emptied and wiped the spoon "Now let me have a sample of butter from that 39 cent tub We'll see if ii will crackle, too"
 Pure butter" reiterated the suc- cessful salesman as he brought the second sample. Then he batted his eyes waiting for the crackle, as she held it over the jet.
 "It only bubbles," he said in sur prise. Tt doesn't sputter like the other"
 Mrs. Bill" went back to the counter and out of the second bag took a wooden boat of tub butter. She showed it tuward the grocer.
 Here's the pound you sold me for pure butter yesterday. It's the butter ed when melted. I want to tell you it's margarine or process butter. Ii you bought it for pure butter, then your wholesaler cheated you"

Butter left setting half an houl in tube in water Hot enough to raelt it shows cloudiness if it is margarine and it remains clear if 1t is pure.

BEAUTIFUL
 COMPLEXION
BY LUCILLE DAuDEr.


 NSV NE glance around a room where men and women are assem- A bled will show the observer
 that the women who present attractive. well-groomed appearances are the popular ones. With increas- ing years every one is realizing that beauty is more than skin deep; but, just as the illustrations of a story must be attractive to create a desire to know about the story, 50 must the skin be attractive before one feels like ferreting the depths of the person within 1t.
 Thereare any number of local ap- plications to be tried to clear the complexion: but these things cost money and are really unnecessary if one will obey the laws of nature and will take the remedies which she stands ready to give. It is pathetically true of human beings that they never appreciate the things at hand. They try all sorts of artificial means to beau tify themselves without stopping to To- cate the cause for being other than beautiful and then trying to remove the cause.
 Beauty is really the expression of health. and in health only is 1t to be found If there is anything wrong with the mechanism of the body, the fact is bound to be apparent in one's physical appearance.,T To acquire beau- ty and to keep 1t, one must follow strictly the laws of hygiene. Nc, poi sons should be introduced in the body. Pure water taken internally and used freely externally is essential. Suff- cient sleep. exercise and sunshine and the proper amount of nourishipg food are important. There should be no blocking of circulation and no cramp- ing of vital organs by uncomfortably tight corsets.
 Many girls are too indifferentsNo the beauty there Is to be found in the prep CT use of soap and water. One should get in the habit of cleansing the face thoroughly every night before retiring so that the dust and dirt will be re- moved and the pores will have an op- portunity to breathe properly. The proper treatment is to first of all open the pores with towels wrung from hot water. A good quality of soap should then be used to cleanse the skin from grease and dirt. If the skin is too tender for soap. use an agreeable quail ity of cold cream to cleanse the skin If the latter is used it should be rubbed we'll into the face and the su- perfiuous amount should be removed with soft cloth. Then rinse the face with warm water. In order to reduce the pores to normal size massage the face with ice. Should this be incon- venient, extremely cold water will an- swer the purpose.
 When this is all done, massage the face with the f1ngertips. Begin with the first finger and use each one in succession, just as you would practice a finger exerciseson the piano. To see the blood coming to the surface stand before your mirror as you do the work. You'll be so pleased with the result that you'll VOW to give your face this treatment every night.
 Many people complain about the hardness of the water in which they bathe. This condition of affairs can easily be remedied and really should be, for the hard water dries the skin and makes it prick. Oatmeal bags added to the water, borax or toilet am- monia. are splendid water softeners.

1" ONE very effective decorating H has been done in wheeling N stitch" It is just another
 adaptation of .buttonhole stitch, and, of course, is the simplest thing in the world to do. While wal lachian stitch was rival of solid en- broidery, wheeling stitch will play out line stitch. The stitches are taken rather short and are not placed so close together as to present solid appearance. Almost any pattern de- signed for outline may be worked in this variety of stitch. All curves are most readily turned-hence the name This stitch variation will be valua- ble addition to the semi-embroidery stitches, which are called into regui- sition this season on account of the demand for hand stitchery upon gowns and cloaks.
 Tl OW that cretonne and chintz are |VN used so universally about the house this cleaning sugges-
 tion should be invaluable, as it can be adopted in the home so easi- ly. Take one pound of rice and boil it in gallon of water until the rice is quite soft. Now strain off about one quart of the milky water in a separate vessel, and add to it piece of gum arabic about the size of a small egg This to be set aside and used for starch later on. To the remainder of the wa ter and rice add enough warm water to wash the curtains in. Instead of soap rub the curtains with handful of the boiled rice, and "souse" the ere tonne up and down many times. Rinse in fair water, and finally starch with the water as prepared above. The ere tonne or chintz material should be ironed when partly dry (not allowed to dry and then sprinkleO, and medium hot iron should be used. If this meth cd is followed the hangings will be like new.

that it was one of the Thatcher

Denver, altho his home was in Pueblo
where he was largely interested in
the banking business. He was inter

Mr. Thatcher had reached the ripe
