A HOME-MIXED VANISHING CREAM
70 Take Away Wrinkles and "Crow's Feet

Did you ever notice how coarse skin or one
with large pores will always show the most
wrinkles? This discovery points to the secret of
removing wrinkles, which has never before been
fully realized. By making the pores smaller, a
most remarkable result is produced on wrinkles.
The pores brace up and the skin becomes much
finer in texture. This could be illustrated by men,
tionng the difference in texture between cheese
cloth and cambria. BY making the pores smaller
the skin ceases to be cheeseoloth in texture-it
becomes fine and plump as that of a baby. Making
the pores smaller and thereby eliminating wrinkles
Is quickly accomplished by the use of the following
mixture:
Get from your druggist two ounces Of eptol and
mix with one tablespoonful of glycerne in half a
pint of water The rich cream, which Is the result
makes the skin plump and vigorous and causes
even deep wrinkles to disappear In quick time.
The eptol sells for sixty five cents and you prob
ably already have enough glycerine.

Eastern Apples

The conspicuous success of western
apple-growers, which at first seemed
to dicourage farmers east Of the Mis-
sissippi from doing anything more in
the horticultural line, is now bringing
about a reaction. There is a marked
increase of interest shown throughout
New England with respect to fruit
trees, and especially apple trees.
Many old, long neglected orchards are
being renovated and, after two or
three years of careful trimming,
spraying, cultivating and cavity-fill-
ing, are found to produce fruit of a
surprisingly good quality.
There has been an instructive de-
velopment along this line in Ohio,
under the guidance of the state agri-
cultural experiment station at Woos-

ter. Back in 1908, when many Ohio
farmers were going west to engage in
see whether their own state was real
" so inferior for apple-raising as the
farmers imagined. They selected 4
large number Of representative or
chards in scattered sections and sub
jected them to long course of ex-
perments, applying all the scientific
methods that are used as matter OF
course in Colorado and the Pacific
Coast states.
Their own efforts and those of the
farmers who followed their instruc-
tions, have produced gratifying re-
suits. The Wooster station reports
that instead of only an occasional
professional Orchardist here and there
obtaining fancy crops, as was the case
10 OF IS years ago, there are now
whole neighborhoods that are produc-
ing large fruit crops of excellent
quality.
The ten-year records of the or
chardS under special observation
show an average return of 234 bush
els of apples to the acre, and gross
income of nearly 5000 to the acre
The cost of production is said to be
about 40 per cent, which leaves an av-
erage of net income of 1920 an acre
something surely not to be despised
by any farmer, however prejudced he
may be in favor of grain crops. The
volume of production and also the in
come from it have naturally increased
so mush toward the end of this de-
cade that they are far higher than the
averages given.

garded as Leading candi-
/ date for Vacancy.

RICHMOND, Va, Dec, 17.-So
many prominent Democrats have
been mentioned with the vacancy
created by the death of Hal D.
Flood, Congressman from the
Tenth Virginia district, that it is
probable a convention instead of
q PRIMARY will be held to select
the narminee.
Governor Davis has not yet fixed
the date for the special election
to select Representative Floods
successor, but it is understood he
will do so in the near future.
Many Candidates.
Speculation is still rife as to who
will be nominated by the Repubii-
cans. In the November election sur
prtsing Republican strength was
shown In each Of the counties in
the Tenth district and 1t is believed
that the COP. candidate could make
q good run against the Democratic
standard bearer. $50
Outstanding among the ten or
twelve Democrats thus far suggested
is Harry St. George Tucker, Of Lex
ington, who represented the Tenth
and was defeated by Congressman
Flood about twenty-five years ago..
Mr.. Tucker. who has formally an
nounced his candidacy, made what
Democratic party leaders call Q re-
markable run against Senator Trinkle
in the August gubernatorial primary,
and they believe he would be the
strongest candidate to hold the
Tenth district against constantly
increasing Republican gains.
Democrats In Staunton are. waging
determined fight to have a man
from their city nominated. Already
there are three candidates from
Staunton. They are hugh B. Sproul

Where You
Are Safest

TIME average person suffers a disabling
L accident once in seven years. 1t may be
only a smashed thumb or a sprained ankle.
but it puts the sufferer temporarily out Of
business.
If one would avoid disabling accidents,
the safest place is indoors, in bed, in the
cellar.
Next to that the safest place is a Pull
man car on a railroad train. So say the
accident insurance companies. a passen-
ger in an ordinary railroad car is much
safer than at home. because he is sitting
still and few things can happen to him..
If he is in a Pullman. and there is a col
lision. other cars may be smashed. but his
own vehicle. being of steel and enormously
heavy, will likely escape serious injury.
For all that is said about the perils of
the sea, you are just about ten times as
safe on a ship as on land. One man in
every 22O0 is fatally hurt by Al accident
on land; on the ocean only one person in
-. 900 suffers accidental death.
If there be a safer place than a Pullman
car. it is the Boardwalk at Atlantic City.
Nothing ever happens on the Boardwalk !;
the municipality sees to that. 1t is a via
sacra--a sacred road of planks. The town
authorities keep a watchful eye upon it
day and night. There is never any dis
order there: nobody is held up and robbed.
In winter. if so much as an inch of snow
falls on it. the now-piows appear and re-
move it. If anybody were to slip up and
tumble on the Boardwalk the Jersey resort
would deem itself disgraced.
