 It is set forth in the bill that If any wife has reason to believe that any woman, other than herself, is on in

 Punishment Not Drastic.
 According to the bill, the woman who receives such notice 'and who persists therfeafter in associating or communica ting with the husband shall be guilty of a. nnisdeneanor and fined up to S100 for such offense." But the farmer measure takes notice of the fact that one man may ''Yamp' another mans wife. Therefore. no favorites are played under this bill.
 The husband is empowered to write a like nissive to the man he suspects Of paying too much attention to his wife. If such notice is not needed (and there has been no gun-play in the m eantimel the same penalties are provided for the protection of the husband as for the wife.
 A Clause in the bill makes it oblig- atory that all notices must be sworn to before a justice of the peace, and the justice before affixing the verified tion to such notice shall make dlli- gent inquiry in order to- determine whether or not the statements con tained in said notice are true. In other words, the measure, if it passes, puts it up to the justice of the peace to reasonably prove whether the wife or the husband is being ''vamped.'

COLD CREAMS

In these modern days practically
 every woman should include a cold
 cream of some sort among her toilet
 necessities. The woman with an oily complexion should never use any thing except a cleansing cream. This is in way nouriShing and as it is not absorbed by the skin it will not make the complexion any more oily. A cleansing cream. most of my readers know by this time. is made up of mineral oil wax. rosewater and other ingredients, and it's sole purpose is to get into the pores of the skin and soften the dirt which 1 is srimed in during the course of the [ day Women who live in the city where there is a great deal of dust
 will need cleansing cream almost every day.
 But if the complexion is dry it | needs a cold cream that is nourish- ing Now a nourishing cold cream is always cleansing as well. so that 1t is not necessary to go in for any 1 elaborate ceremonies in the use of creams. One variety is sufficient The only necessary thing is to know If you have a dry skin, or if you are approaching the age when wrinkles are little too prominent,
 or if you live in very hot dry cold cream You had better make this yourself. sirce most creams OF the market are made with mineral oil which is much cheaper. An ex- ceuent general formual is:
 Fine Cold Cream
 Rose water ounces Almond oil ...... f ounces Spermacet l ounce hlte wax -.'.-- ounce Benzoin drachTn To make this, put the white wax and sperma ceti with the oil and heat until all are melted together. Take from the fire at once, add the rose water and benzoin, which should be warm, and beat as they cool.
 Anna C.-if you send me an ad- dressed stamped envelope, I will be
 able to assist you in your difficulty MT. R. c. K.-You should have no | trouble in purchasing a depilatory The druggists that carry good lines in toilet articles always include this preparations. You should also be

 nent stores. as. most Of them sell
