Beauty Chats By Eaae Kent Forbes
Sleep

For ALL the unnumbered things that
have been written about sleep, little
enough has been said about its beau
tifying qualities. Physicians insist
upon It for health-but beauty spe-
cialists mostly preach the gospel OF
face massage and cold cream and as
tringents, to restore the lax muscles
that too concentrated a life has pro-
duced, whereas, one night Of deep re-
freshing sleep will iron out more
wrinkles than weeks Of cream and
work They say a man should
sleep six hours at a minimum, a
woman seven, a child eight TO nine.
! should add an hour TO each, as the
proper period for rest. And q deli
cate or a nervous woman needs at
least nine hours out Of tWenty-four
20 restore her energies completely.
There is danger in OVersleeping as
well as understanding. The brain
grows lazy, never wakes to ifs full
activity. the blood seems torpid and
the whole system below normal
standards.
When you sleep, close your eyes
with pleasant thoughts In your mind,
remembering that whatever the wor-
ries Of the day, you can do nothing
now-your present duty is TO gather
your energies for strength and clear
vision in the morning. Sleep with
plenty Of fresh air in the room, all
OF Il you can get. with warm, light
coverings. Signing, OF yawning,
sometimes induces sleep. And dur
ing the day. when you feel even the
least bit fatigued, stop a moment and
lie back with your head against a
pillow and your mind a temporary
blank.
Then you can go back TO your
duties with a mind freshened by it's
brief respite from work. You will
find your face freshen a bit from
even q few moments OF rest

 Where's your watch? MT. Caudle, you have watches on the brain tonight feel under the pillow I say; that's where you always put it when you go to bed. There now, MT. Caudle; do stop talking and go to sleep; I'm sure it's the very best thing for you tonight. You'll be able to listen with more reason tomor- row morning? Perhaps. I always did despise to talk to an intoxicated man.

anybody but its wearer Engulfed by their wives tempestuous petticoats, men lost their last vestige of super- eminence. They remonstrated in fear and wrath. They exhausted them selves in ridicule, not understanding that women can never be laughed out of folly. They appealed to art, they appealed to economies, they appealed to reason. They would gladly have ap- pealed to religion, had it been of any use. The hoop skirt, having reached the greatest possible magnitude com- patible with human intercourse. went slowly out of fashion It died literally by inches, growing smaller and small- CT every season. and refusing to bs hurried in it's decline by the impor- tunities of men. But the bloomer, the comfortable economical, symbolic bloomer, lived it's brief life in vain; blighted-not by the uneasy prejudices of men, but by the contemptuous dis regard of women. who, in the supreme matter of dress, have never permitted any appeal from their own court. The failure of sumptuary laws in all coun- tries and in all ages proves the per- petual impotence of men.

A Challenge to Human Genius
Rx EEsrus NJ. CLARK

Iis V AL4Akt fN parently interested in neither the service nor the reward.
 It has been said, and perhaps truly that the southern people have not yet awak- cred to their great and boundiess future; that they dream away the golden mo- ments, indifferent to the busy, bustling world about them. This I shall neither affirm nor deny but one thing I do as scrt, and assert positively, that the peo- pie of Florence. Ala, are waking up to some of these golden. opportunities.
 Florence, beautiful little city in north ~n Alabama. is perched comfortably on a high bluff, a silent sentinel that guards the picturesque Tennessee as it slowly winds it's peaceful way towards the Ohio. It is situated about 10 miles below the noted Muscle Shoals, of which the world must soon hear. It has 1000 busy, ener- getic and progressive people. They are just at this time in a high state of en- thusiasm over one of the greatest oppor- tunities that has ever presented itself to the people of America. This is the great conservation project of utilizing the 10,0aO cubic feet of water wasted each second at Muscle Shoals. This project concerns not only the people of Florence, not only the inhabitants of the Tennessee valley, but it vitally concerns every person in the United States
 To give a detailed account of the pro- posed work would require many vol tunes. Therefore, I shall state as brief ly as possible some of the Fundamental things to be accomplished.
 To understand clearly the subject, a somewhat brief description of the Ten nessee river becomes necessary. It is navigabIe from it's mouth at Paducah, Ky, to Knoxville, Tenn, distance of GA miles, although it is ''corked up just

HOW TO PEEL OFF A
 WEATHERBEATEN FACE

It's really simple matter to renoyate face soiled by dirt, wind or cold Or dinary mercolized wax, used like cola cream, will transform the worst old complexion into one of snowy white ness and velvety softness. It literally peels off the outer veil of surface skin, but so gently, gradually, there's no dis comfort. The wornout skin comes off, not in patches, but evenly, in tiny parti- eles, leaving no evidence of the treat ment. The younger, healthier under skin forming the new complexion is one of captivating loveliness. One ounce of mercolized wax, to be had at any drug store, is enough to remove any coarse, chapped, pimpled, freckled, faded or washing it off mornings.
 Many skins wrinkle easily with every wind that blows. An excellent wrinkle remover, because it tightens the skin and strengthens relaxed muscles, is d wash lotion made as follows: Powdered saXolite. l oz., dissolved in witch hazel, one-half pint This gives immediate results.

 How dare you, MT. Caudle? You are in a state of intoxication, sir, or you'd never utter such words to me, your poor, neglected wife. That comes of letting you go to these Christmas ban quets alone, with lot of silly men who like to hear themselves talk. A selfish woman, did you say I am?

above Florence by Muscle Shoals, a ber--which act as an inpediment to navi- gation A canal has been built, permit ting boats to pass the shoals; yet the navigation is far from satisfactory. At this point the river, being from one and one-half to two miles wide, is very shall low; and due to fall in the river here of 135 feet in 35 miles, it is in many places very rapid. The engineers found that 10000 cubic feet of water passes any given point each second. They further found, after careful survey, that, by means of several dams, the river can be made navigable to it's mouth, be- sides being made to yield 6S0000 horse power. One of these dams, purely a navi- gation dam, is to be constructed at Flor ence. The others will be erected at points near Muscle Shoals, higher up the river.
 The dam at Florence will have a height of about 20 feet. The dam just below Muscle Shoals will have height of 102 feet and a length of 4450 feet, and will require about 1,304,700 cubic yards of con crete. Still another dam will be built at Muscle Shoals. It's height will be AS feet and it's length will be about $500 feet. The cost of these dams is esti- mated at g little over $lS,O0OOOO-a very small sum when compared to the great benefits to be derived therefrom.
 A detailed enumeration of the mar vicious advantages made possible by this work would sound like a fairy tale. I shall not attempt to discuss all of them. l shall make only a few brief statements about the unpara1- leled opportunities that this great un- dertaking offers to the people of the United States.
 In the first place, since these dams would make navigation surer and make Florence the greatest river har- hor in the world. the commerce on the Tennessee river would l.. greatly increased. And this would, of course, convert the obscure and neglected little

Agnes Repplier in Harper's Magazine.
 It is interesting to note that while men have always railed and railed in vain against the excesses of fashion, they take swift alarm when women show any disposition to appropriate q portion of their own sensible and sani-
 tary clothing. The spreading hoops of our sainted grandmothers were to our unregenerate grandfathers a source of measureless annoyance. The general ef- feet produced by a crinoline was an absence of space for anything but it. self, and an absence of concern for

to the people of the United States. But there are many difficulties to be encoun- tered and many obstacles to be overcome before this marvellous achievement can be realized. The people of the entire coun- try must be educated-must be taught what it means to them. The machinery will probably cost about $35, ,000,0O0; and only small amount of this capital will be furnished by private corporations: the remainder must be appropriated by the Congress of the United States.
