Beauty Chats
By EDNA KENT FORBEa
A SUGGESTION.

Girls who work in offices almost l always become round-shouldered ana l hollow-chested, unless they take 1 enough exercise out of office hours to | overcome the effects of sitting at a 1 desk or unless they sit better than
 most of the office workers see. 1 My suggestion today is that the girl I who sits all day long at an office 1 desk should try to work with her 1 chair pulled closer to the desk, so 1 as to keep her back a little straighter. My other suggestion is that she form the other girls in her office into a gymnasium class, to practice deep breathing and shoulder strengthening exercises for ten minutes during the lunch hour. Big business firms, real izing the value of this, are doing it for their employees, but my sugges- ton is for the girl who works in small office with two or three others and hasn't the benefit of the classes and gynnasiums the big concerns go in for.
 The exercises really should be taken outdoors or on a roof, but If this is impossible. a room with the windows opened will do. Five min utes should be given to deep breath ing while the girls stand erect with hands resting on the ,hlps and five minutes should be devoted to exer- cises that make the arms swing and that bring the shoulders back, the head up and the chest out. Any book on gymnastics will give you plenty of suggestions. Every week or so there is som lething in this pace about just such exercises as these.
 If you can interest your fellow workers and keep them at it, your appearance will improve and your work will benefit and you will not have that cramped and achy feeling after a few hours at an office desk.
 F. w.: A woman 30 years old it. in. should weigh 120 pounds.
 c. O. R.: A girl IT, 5 fit. "A in. should weigh 123 pounds. You are nearly 20 pounds overweight. I would not advise you to take any quick re- duction method. but to exercise and diet until you are the proper weight.
 Tall Betsy: Cocoa butter can be purchased in five and ten cent cakes at practically all drug stores. When slightly warmed it messages easily. If you are underweight, you can fill out the arms, legs and chest more easily by taking little extra nourishment every day.

POLES.

A capacity house again greeted Way Down East,'' the monumental Griffith production at Polls last night. Only today and tomorrow re- main to witness this the most human and natural photo-drama that has ever been thrown on a silver screen
 Way Down East has all of the elements of greatness in it. It is a simple tale of plain people but the vortex of thrilling drama into which they are thrown makes a picture of tremendous power. Anna Moore, the girl wronged by a. mock marriage and played with such consumate skill by Lillian Gish is character that stands out in bold and unforgettable relief.

The heart Of man is domestic
 BARBER'S ITCH.

My husband is troubled with some kind of skin eruption caused, I think, l by shaving. The hairs on his face seem to grow in which causes the ! most unsightly pinples. Sometimes he will try for weeks to shave those hairs out, and when he does succeed there is a little yellow matter comes out with black spot at the root Of the hair. What can this be?
 Answer-You indicate the bottom of the trouble-the socket in which lies ber's itch) comes only on the hairy part of the face and is generally suf- fered only by men. He will never get rid of this until the hairs tn the time he must, with a pair of tweez1 CTS, pull out every hair that sticks through and around every pimp1e. This is necessary because the para site is not on the surface of the skin, but at the roots and in the hair fol- 1icles from which the hairs arise.
 Let him then bathe his face in water, as hot as he can stand it. dry thoroughly, and then apply a per cent. resorcin ointment or the oint- ment of amrnoniated mercury. These are to be had at the druggist.

Poli Review

It's always the good old home town
 stuff in a play that strikes the popu- lar chord. That is so in the Way Down East film which continues to
 draw record crowds to Polls thea tre.
 Memories of childhood's happy days fare awakened by the rollicking barn dance scenes in which the merry
 makers are carried to the scene Of
 merriment in old fashioned sIeighs.
 So realistic is the picture that the merry jingles .l .he sleigh bells are almost heard.
 By gosh, that carries me back to l forty years declared a former Tor f1ngton resident, as he poked his wife m the ribs in his spasm of gIee.

 Then there was the ice jam scene and the thrilling rescue-a great combination of thrills and pathos. Getting back to the old hometown features, the 'fWay Down East" quar- | teet is daily scoring hits by the rem diton of the old-time melodies. '"The l Old Oaken Bucket sounded as of yore.

get dollars worth for every dollar
spent, and watch inefficiency and ex-
travagance as jealousy as on our own
farms if we are to reduce taxes" said
Earl Crawford of Milton, state high
way commissioner. speaking at a
Good Roads" meeting of the Webster
township farmers association Thurs
day night.
Mr.. Crawford told in detail how
these principles had been applied by
his commission to the state road work
Only one mile of state highway con-
struction was contracted for last year
on account of war time prices for
labor, road machinery and materials.
Money was spent only on existing
roads with the consequence that,
since much more work can be done
for the same money this year, the state
will have a greater road mileage with
no increases in taxes.
Strict impartiality in letting con
tracts is the policy of the commission
also. said the speaker. No local CON
tractors are favored because of being

to do the work cheaper than firms
outside the state IF we pay extra
profits to such firms, it is we'insteao

said Crawford.

themselves in fair competition. Woulo

gives them should come through On

Inadequate drainage, frequently du'

that some local condition is at faul

LARGE EXPENDITURES
DENOUNCED IN OPENING.
SPEECH OF BEvERlDGE.

FORT WAYNE. Ind. March 10
Extravagant primary campaign ex-
pendftures were denounced by Albert
J. Beveridge, candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination for United States
senator, in a Twelfth district rally at
Fort Wayne Thursday night.
Exhibiting number of advertise
ments which appeared in the papers
throughout the state as part OF Sen
ator News publicity program, Mr.. Bey-
eridge declared:
Surely no such paid advertising is
needed by any man who has served
with conspicuous merit during SIX OF
the most fateful years of our history!
Unless ii has sinister purpose, 1t is
all nonsense-not wickedly meant, but
deplorable in it's result; and. undeni-
ably 1t puts our party at serious dis
advantage in the battle we must wage
with the Democrats next fall. In the
end. dollar popularity is always as
hollow as it is expensive"
Mr.. Beverage said it is common re-
port that large sums of money are be-
ing spent by the New organization.
He pointed out that the salary of a
senator for six years is $4,000 and in.
quired how can candidate justify
himself to the electors in November
if he spends more than that amount
in the primary campaign.
Indiana should lead the way for plac-
ing limit on campaign expenditures,
he declared, and for that reason he
proposed conference with Senator
New in friendly spirit, to agree upon
a limit
Urges Rates Reduced.
Railroad rates must come down,
he said. Nobody can prosper when
transportation charges eat up the prof
its of the shippers-and sometimes
more. Tax laws that still paralyze
trade and madden the whole people
must be thoroughly overhauled, and
basically changed. Business cannot
revive so long as leech legislation
sucks the life blood out of the veins
of business"
After declaring that the right oil
electing persons to office belongs tC
The people, Mr. Beveridge said: "Vot
ers should take into account only one
thing. who is the best person for the
place during the particular term fol-
which the officer is to be elected. Il
Is the peoples business that is in
volved. and nothing else; it is the
good of the people that must be at

is a silly falsehood, and Presiden

But so long and industriously has tina

Adequate supervision, and closer
attention by the public to road affairs,
as we'll as other public matters; care
to see that common sense methods are
followed in draining wet spots; work
ing roads at proper times. rather than,
under the old system. whenever there
was nothing else to do; care in Sc
lecting candidates for township trus-
tees and county commissioners, and
more assistance given to them after
election, were some of the measures
suggested by the speaker. Blame for
poor roads in many cases, he said,
rests squarely with local conditions in
which the citizens themselves are at
fault.
Federal Aid
Only 40 per cent of federal aid road
money may be spent on primary, or in
ter-state roads, said Mr.. Crawford.
With primary roads amounting to
about 5000 miles, and $4,000 miles OF
secondary roads, funds available will
amount to three millions on primary
roads, one million of federal and state
money on secondary roads, and the
same for paving on primary roads
The federal plans call for spending
as large part of the money as pos
sible on interstate highways but the
commission is making every effort tC
secure as large part as it can fol-
improving farm to market roads. The
speaker warned against further efforts
to secure extravagant improvement oil
highways while the side roads are
neglected.
