METHODISTS TO TAKE UP
 WHERE DANGERS LEFT OFF

Chicago, Sept. 2.-Dr C. H. Mo Crea, assistant editor of ''The North nounced yesterday that the Dancing Masters Association had given up trying to reform the Methodist Church. The organization had en- deavored to have the Methodists lift the ban on dancing and so devised the Wesleyan, a dance which provid- ed less physical contact. The mas ters made an intellectual effort to have this figure approved by the churchmen.
 Dr. McCrea said, however, that the old problem may yet be solved by the simple invention of mutual athlet- ics" to, replace dancing.
 Since the instructors have given up .ip tne Methodists said Dr. McCrea, now let the MethodiSts reform the dance by devising some form of mu- tua1 atheltics that will have all that is harmless and provide all that is lckinS for the social life of the young people of both sexes''

Montreal, Quebec, Sept 2.-The fourth quarter price on newsprint paper is announced by the Canada Export Paper Company at four cents a pound or SS0 per ton This is a de- cline of S15 a ton from the third quarter price now prevailing.

 BEES, COMES TO FARMER

Winnipeg, Man, Sept. 2.-G. B. B1ssonette, a farmer at St. Jean, Man, was tinkering in his woodshed when swarm of bees settled on a cottonwood tree in his yard. This was six years ago.

Beauty Chats
THE HOME. MANICURE.
By EDNA KENT FORBES.

Being your own manicurist is not at all a difficult task As soon as you find the best method of avoiding work half the trouble of man1cur1ng is over.
 To save work keep a small orange wood stick on the bathroom shelf, and every time when you have washed your hands run around the edge Of each nail to push back the cuticle while it is moist and soft from the washing. This is at least half the business of manicuring.
 Then once every day shape the nails with a strip of pumice board. This need only take one minute or less. It will keep the nails from growing too long and it will keep the well trim med appearance of a recently done manicure.
 Polish the nails every day with a buffer. You will not have to use pol ishing powder more than once every few days and about 25 strokes of the buffer will be all that is necessary. If the nails are done every day the actual amount of time you spend on them over the course of a week will be much less than what you would have to spend if you manicured them
 Nai1s that are we'll shaped, well polished, with smoothly trimmed cut icle are sufficiently well manicured. There is only one thing more to be careful of and that is to keep all stains from the nails. This will not take any extra time at all. If you will keep a bottle of slightly diluted lemon juice in the bathroom and if you will use this on the nails every few days. you need only rub little on and wash it off again.
 Mary J. L.:-There was no reason why you should thank him twice and by doing this, as you parted, you did all the occasion called for.
 J. L:-Cure the pimples by inn proving your digestion. Three yeast cakes each day will help this. A small quantity of the cake applied to the pirnples each night, will also aid, as it heals those already on the skin. An excellent powder is lacipodium, which is sold in bulk form. It is an Egypt ian lily in powdered form
 Shorty:-Join a gymnasium and specialize on the exercise that will keep the spinal column loose and free, so you will acquire more height. Stand properly, which should be so the weight of the body is on the ball of the feet instead of the heels, and the chest is forward, while the stom- ach is fiat; also hold the head well. You will add more than an inch to your height if you do this.
 Hope:-MaSsage the arms each Learn to keep your nails attractive, night, using a nourishing cream. If you have some cucumber extract mild bleach to the skin.
 All inquiries addressed to Miss Forbes in care of the Beauty Chats department will be answered in these columns in their turn. This requires considerable time, however. owing to personal or quicker reply is desired a stamped and se1f-addreSsed en- velope must be enclosed with the QueStion.-Editor.

House in favor of the REIMBURSEMENT
OF the Universe?
And l said keturah, why art thou

now, behold, I must so.
And she said, Thou hast Plat

And I said, | would far rather sit

put on nay long black Fireiess Cooker
and sit up on high.
For he payeth well VINO hath

For he must not yaWn, no matter
how long the meeting is, nor how
dull the speeches, and he cannot slip

And | considered why there are
any Platform Seats, and why thoy do
do not fill them with Effigics Of
George Washington and Benedict
Arnold and other distinguished men.
But Keturah said, Now be silent,
for know thine heart.
He can despise platform seats who
hath them, but thou knoWe8t if they
had not been sent, and thou hadst
seen the platform filed with men
thou dGemest no wiser nor better
than thNseif, thou surely should h&ye

Wherefore put on thy Fircleas

Ton that is why they want thee on

And it was a good meeting, on be-
