FASHION FADS
| AND FANCIES
BY Mildred Ash

~ OLOMON in all his glory
was never arrayed in more
~ resplendent raiment than
the gorgeously gowned woman of
today, whose evening frock is
highly embroidered in beads or
encrusted in stones. Some Of the
most striking gowns Of the sea-
son are embroidered in large
pearls, or brilliantly illumined
with silver nail heads.
A pleasing contrast is offered
the white chiffon motor wells by
their borders and deep bands Of
a vivid color repeated in the
scarf, handkerchief, purse, and
other accessories that liven the
otherwise white sport costume so
generally worn at Southern re-
sorts.
Demonstrating the serpent has
been so successfully done that 1t
has become quite a useful crea-
ture-yielding up it's skin. not
only for milady's shoes, but also
for her latest, close-fitting hat,
which Is made entirely of snakes
skin and bound in narrow, silver
ribbon.
CoQuettish combs are round and
have jeweled Enthusiastically
Of pearls. A great relief from
the monotony of the high,
carved Spanish type Of comb or
from the regulation bandeaux Of
ribbon and flowers. These combs
are being welcomed by many Of
the best dressed women seen in
the fashionable cafes and theaters.
Extremely well-heeled are be-
witching evening slippers with
decorated heels. One pair of
white satin dancing slippers have
green heels, while still another
pair-also of white satin-have

YOUR BEAUTY
AN UNFAILING RECIPE FOR A TRULY
EXQUISITE MOUTH

; to perform wonders with their
lipsticks-to achieve startling"
effects. But attempts to improve
on nature in this respect are
usually more startling th:n 5eauti-
full. Makeup undoubtedly has its
place and usefulness. But If you
must use a lipstick, do so with
discretion. Do not rob yourself
Of every trace of individuality by
Transforming the character
curves" of your lips into a conven.
tional, artificial, rosebud pattern.
What though your mouth be a
bit large? That very largeness
may add character and individu-
ality to your face. Do not erase
such lines Of charm with red
grease paint. BY doing so you
may possibly attract attention If
your carmine is bright enough
but not admiration from persons
who are worth while.
Nature is a wise artist when It
comes to the fashioning Of beauti-
full women. Go out into the sun
shine and fresh air and walk and
walk. Eat simple, natural foods.
Sleep-and during normal hours
for sleep-in a room where dark
ness and fresh air have full sway.
Battle freely. Fill your lungs
with fresh air at all times.
You will find If you persist in
these simple beauty measures
that nature will paint your lips
in the most charming manner
with rouge that is irremovable.
And best Of all, you will feel as
happy and wholesome as you
look.
Then If you would add charm
to your beauty, fill your mind
with happy good will. Follow the
suggestion of the song so popular
a few years ago
Pack all your troubles in your
old kit bag
And smile, smile, smile!'

asked Bobby bursting with excite

"A big fat rat" announced
Bunny.
But" said 1, how under the
sun could a rat get at the syrup
surely he could not tilt the
Jug"
"Oh, no." chuckled Bunny. He
fished it out"
"Fished it out" Bobby and
exclaimed.
Eyes stree, Bob" continued
Bunny. THAT rat sat on the
edge of the mouth Of the Jug.
Then he dropped his tail right
down into the syrup, drew up his
tail and licked 1t off just like
Bobby eats a lolly-pop."
How we laughed and laughed.
But we laughed more when Bunny
looked at his little short tail and
said:

kHTNVERY girl is pretty when
she SMILES" a wise
0woman said. And, un-
doubetdly it is true that face
lighted by a smile that is spon-
taneous. kindly and genuine can
not be less than charming.
This smile of beauty is far more
than a perfunctory upward curve
Of the lips. The heart from which
it springs is filled with kindly
goodwill. The woman with a
captivating smile has banished
every ugly emotion-hatred and
fear. for instance-from her con-
seriousness by filling her mind
full of active friendliness, the Joy
Of life and an eager desire to
serve.
She does not try to smile. Her
goodwill irresistibly finds express
sion in eyes that sparkle and lips
that curve upward. ThiS express
sion may be as enigmatic as that
Mona Liza or 1t may ripple
into the laughter Of sheer JOY.
One of the most refreshing and
heart-gladdening experiences of
Of life is to be greeted with this
friendly sympathetic, genuinely
happy smile.
Lips are always lovely while
they are kindly and smiling. And
the mouth that smiles often and
easily Is gradually transformed
into lines Of beauty.
There Is no recipe for a lovely
mouth as unfailing as happy
thoughts. Operations have been
performed to make a mouth over
into a conventional rosebud with
the result that the lips could no
longer relax into a smile. Could
any fate be more pitiful, more dis
astrous to charm?

SECRETS OF HEALTH
AND SUCCESS
By C. A. L. REED, M. D.

Former President Of the Amer.
lean Medical Association.
r RECENTLY received an an
nouncement of an institute
that is to give thoughtful and
scientific study to the great prob
lem Of lengthening the span Of
human life.
1t is announced that one part
or section Of the institute is to
be devoted to Orology.
'Orology"
That's new word, a new
orology."
1t, however, has a very respect
able Greek parentage in two
words. one meaning an orifice
and the other meaning a dis
course.
1t is being used to cover dis
ease Of the natural orifices Of the
body but, in the present instance,
it will be devoted particularly to
diseases of the mouth.
The importance Of this new de.
partment-let us hope not a "spe-
cialty"-of medicine becomes ap-
parent when you stop to consider
just a few facts.
Nearly all If not all diseases"
are caused by influences, chiefly
germs, that originate outside the
body.
The natural coverings of the
body outside and in, 1. e., the
skin and the lining membranes
Of the body, are so constituted
that they prevent the passage Of
germs through them.
The only way germs can get
through these protecting layers is
by some injury to the layers
themselves.
How, then, do they get in?
Nearly everything that gets into
your body goes in through your
mouth in the form Of food or
drink or air.
OF course you breathe in q GER
tain amount Of air through your
nostrils, which are other natural
openings of your body.
Food and drink and air may
each be the carrier of disease
producing germs, although we
take much care to make them as
germ.free as possible.
Some Of these germs lodge with
particles of food between the
teeth or under the edges of the
gums or, possibly, In the little
pockets. called crypts. on the sur.
face of the tonsils.
The germs thus lodged multiply
and, being kept In position, soon
destroy the protective layer, after
which either the germs them
selves or their poisons are absorbed
into the system and keep on form.
ing and being absorbed as long
as they are kept in this position.
This is now known to be the
cause of vast majority Of con.
ditions that we have heretofore
called diseases"
You can readily see why this
development in medical sciences,
embraced in the word "orology,"
is one Of the greatest blessings to
humanity.
There has been no advancement
in human knowledge, since the
discovery of the germ causation
of disease itself. that has pro-

FEDERAL LET'S CONTRACT
TO SINK MAIN SHAFT AT
MORNING MINE 200 FEET.

ThOs. II. Owen, assistant gem
eral manager of the Federal Mi
ming & Smelling company, stat
ed yesterday that a contract had
been awarded to sink the shaft at
the Morning mine 200 feet, and
that work would start February
1. The lowest level in the Morn
ing from which the shaft will be
extended is the 245O. which means
that it is 2450 feet below No.
tunnel, or 1850 feet below No. 6,
the main operating tunnel. The
addition of 200 feet to this depth
and the opening up of a new level
will mean that the great Morning
ore body is being mined at a
depth of 1000 feet in round figures
below the apex of the vein. No
estimate is made as to the time
that will be required to complete
this contract. 1t is a big job, big
ger than most people realize.
The Morning shaft has four COM
partments, but that does not
fully indicate the size of the ex-
cavation, which must include not
less than a foot of open space
around the shaft timbers. This is
necessary on account of the con-
slant ground movement around
the shaft, and permits control of
the pressure which would other
wise force the shaft out of line.
In sinking the Morning shaft,
therefore, it is necessary to make
an excavation IL feet by 81, a
job that represents not only a
heavy expense to the company.
but also one that is perhaps the
most difficult and disagreeable in
underground work.

STRATToN MINES SHIPS
ANOTHER CARLOAD ORE
TO BUNKER HILL SHELTER

The Stratton Mines company
last Tuesday shipped the second
carload of ore, this car going to
the Bunker Fill smelter at KEEL
logg. The weight of the car was
70. $50 pounds, or a little more than
S5 tons. The first shipment TO
East Helena netted the company
about $50 per ton and it is estim-
ated that this one will run high
er. The shipment was all crude
ore as it came from the NINE
containing no jig product. There
is an accumulation of probably II
tons of the latter, which will be
included in the next shipment
The first of the week there was
notable change in the ore in the
face of the drift. 1t has bright
er lustre and is associated with
siderite, which is characteristic OF
the mineral bearing veins of the
district. An assay of this ore re-
turned 50 per cent lead and 80
ounces in silver. The drift at the
Stratton has now been in ore
continuously for about $50 feet
