The Undeniable
 Charm of Beauty And how to attain it

Youth of the complexion. clear, soft. delicately tinted skin, is every day recog- nized as the undeniable charm of beauty.
 To be attractive, to be admired, is the secret desire of every woman, but few know how to attain this accomplishment :.
 First, it is very necessary to remove all blemishes---tan, sun freckles, dark, sallow blotches. liver spots and pimples and to bring . pink glow of life to the skin tissues.
 No other preparations on the market to- day will so quickly give results, make the skin clear, soft and youthful as Black and White Ointment and Black and White , Soap.
 No tedious hours of application are re- auired, no long hours of appointments at beauty parlors--just a massage of the creamy ointment. before retiring, then rinsed off next morning with Black and White Soap.

be counted in money, and it seems to
me that an effort should be made in
the building of roads to churches and
school houses, because they are the
real civilizers and mainstays of our
government, and without the church
and the school house we would soon
degenerate into state of barbarlsm.
If the good people of the community
would get together and cooperate and
make up their minds that something
must be done there would soon be
something doing, but SO long as we
are satisfied there is little hope for
any forward movement of any charac-
ter. The people of this country can
do almost, if not entirely, whatever
they make up their minds to do, but
the very worst state that any COM
munity can attain is satisfaction with
its surroundings and the conditions
that exist. We do not say this is the
condition out here, but certainly they
need some roads.
