Paris, Oct. 1s.-In attempting tc
carry out his plan of bringing sur
plus American and Canadian men
over to marry the surplus girls in
France, DR.. Carnot, the eminent
physician, will encounter, 1 fear
many obstacles.
According to DR.. Carnot the young
men of America and Canada dream
OF nothing but coming to France and
marrying French girls. From Nortf
and South, East and West, he says
he has received letters from young
Americans asking him to find
French iancee for them. A word, a
photograph, and they're ready tc
jump on the boat and rush into the
French noaidens' arms.
Imagine what the arrival of the
first husband train will be like
What confusion, What joy! What
deceptions,
Naturally the first time there
must be confusion. Each man won't
recognize his girl. nor vice versa
Some who were to have sailed will
have missed the boat, while Others
who were not supposed to go will
have gotten on board. Besides

when the original turns up. They
may even cause a breakup of the
scheme on the very platform of the
station.
But little by little everything will
settle down. And after a while
there is every reason to believe that
the hanCes from over seas will be
received as methodiCalIy as the huS.
bands who now visit their wives at
tn seashore.
In many cases matters will be
facilitated by the fact that the boys
coming back will be boys who were
here before, and who knows but
that the number OF those returning
will sUrpass the number OF first ar
rivals? But. on the other hand
anyone organizing such a scheme
must be prepared for the difficulties
Invariably attached to the making
and breaking up Of ordinary matri-
monisl ties.
when all the Investigations which
the French family requires before it
approves a future son-in-law are to
be considered. what will happen
when these Investigations have to
be made. not in France. but in
America?

How Many Men Keep
Youthful Looking

II is we'll kHown that within recent years
tn" men have become extensive patrons
of beauty specialists and masssurs Not
only the fastidious. but men generally who
have a care for personal appearance. This
has also led to the employment by many
nf homa methods calculated to enhance or
preserve physical sttraCtiveueSs. especially
by those who abhor beauty parlors" or
these. perhaps the most widely used is the
mercolized wax treatment. which explains
the mystery Of the silver haired gentleman
with the boyish face. The mrrcoIized wax
obtstnable at any drug store, is applied
the same as cold cream, only not rubbed in
This gradually zbsorbs the dead and half
dead cuticle in tiny particles, revealing the
freSher. healthier-hued skin beneath To
secure best results many apply the wax at
night. washing IL on in the morning. Women
not only encourage husbands in this, but
use the treatment themselves
To keep away wrinkles and flabbinPSs
many. men use, after shaving preferably
q simple lotion made by dissoIying an ounce
Of powdered ssvolite in a hsIf-pint Of witch

WILLIAMS CALLS
 FOR NEW CARLOAD

That farmers in this county should sell of their undesirable live stock and hold their best breeding stock through l the winter, is the advice of County | Agent T. M. Williams, who today made call for a cooperative shipment which should include only the "culls" out of all herds. The present high price of feed will make it unprofita- ble to keep undesirable live stock through the winter, and it is for the purpose of selling them at any price that the shipment is planned Con- ! trasted with the low cattle market, the hog market is good, MT. Williams said, and fat hogs can be sold to advan- tage. His statement on the live stock sitaution is as follows:
 Editor Log Cabin Democrat: As all know the cattle market is very low with no outward indications for improvement.
 To ship means practically giving them away, and to keep them through the winter, feeding high priced feed means that they will consume more than can possibly be received for them in the spring, without taking into consideration that many will die in the meantime.
 The man who has pasture and feed will make money by holding his best breeding stock and feeder yearlings, but the undesirable should be sold off before eating much high priced feed.
 All those who plan to ship cooper atively, and will take whatever price received with smile, list them with me for an early shipment
 The hog market is good. If you have any fat hogs which the local market does not want let me know.
