LADY OF VANDYKE SO WEAK
FROM STOMACH TROUBLE SHE
COULD HARDLY WALK, She 5SAID.
Twins Separated by Surgeons Knife

San Antonio. Texas, was recently
the scene of what is said to be the
only surgical operation on record Of
the separation of twius bound to-
gether since birth, without fatal
result to both of the subjects oper-
ated upon.
Guadalupe and Josefab were two
Mexican girls, twins. who were
bound together from birth. They
were 5 years old at the time of the
operation. Physicians in various
parts of the United States and Mex
leo had declared that the result of
an attempt to separate them would
be instant death to both children.
This was the invariable answer to
their father, Diego Francisco Hino-
joss, who had carried them to vari-
Gus physicians in the two countries
in hopes that the abnormal condi-
ton could be rectifed.
1t was an extremely difficult mat
ter to get a physician to undertake
the operation, for it was feared that
the vital organs were concerned, as
the children were bound together
by growths from the stomach of
each, and each surgeon who was ap-
preached declined.
When, however. they finally found
one who would undertake the oper-
alton, and it was made, the fear of
the other physicians was partially
justified in that one of the children
died, while the other is alive and
thriving. The fact that one sur
vived is pronounced extraordinary.
The children were natives of Mex
leo. having been born in the State
of Tamaulipas.

Young Men of Georgetown Drowned.

Last Thursday Georgetown was
shocked by the news of the death
of the three young men, Harry
McNaron, j T Schroeder and Dozier
Misbrow, while duck hunting. These
young men had been out hunting all
day. Nothing was known OF the
accident or at what time of the day
it took place until another hunting
party returning home saw the boat
with one lifeless body stretched
across it. The supposition is that
the other two were drowned, the
third one reaching the boat but af-
forwards succumbing to exposure
and the intense cold.
MIR Schroeder was relative of our
townslady, Mrs Louis Stackley.

FOR HOMELY HANDS

Washing the hands in a bowl of warm milk every night is a good bleach for redness. Another bleach is made from lemon juice one ounce, honey one ounce, and perfume one ounce If you wish to make your fingers longer and more tapering, soft en them with warm water or olive oil and then massage them with a long slow stroke from the wrist to the ends of the fingers. Then take each finger separately between the thumb and forefinger of the other hand. Pinch the fingertips gently at the sires, at the same time drawing the finger out from the hand.
 If your hands have congested swollen appearance, with distended veins, it is sometimes a sign that you have some article of clothing too tight for your own good. It may be sleeve, collar or belt, perhaps. If this is not the case, the trouble is that the blood rushes to your hands too much. Form the habit of holding the hands up as much as possible instead of clown at the sides. This will relieve the blood vessels of their extra bur den.
