Mine is a perfect skin-a skin

I owe all this to rich, ambitious

methods to multiply my beauty and
to keep her youth. Those helps made
me famous beauty, and they keep
me beauty still.
Now I have arranged so every gin

cal helps. Thus I hope to bring to
millions the benefits 1 got.

Reindeer Guard
Boy from Bear

Anchorage. Alaska, April ca. r.
by. maiD-Evidence of reciprocal
protection between men and animals
came to light recently at Cantwell,
where big reindeer herds are rang
ing under the supervision of the
United States Biological Survey and
ESKIMO herders.
Several Eskimo boys, had been
standing guard over n herd to ward
off wolves and other predatory ami
mails. The boys were sitting idly
while the herd grazed when a mon
ster brown bear, followed closely by
her yearling cub, rushed out of the
woods. The boys saw no refuge and
to Outrun the bear was impossible.
Sensing the only beans of escape,
they headed straight for the herd,
with the mother bear in close pursuit.
The reindeer, which ordinarily
would have taken the running APP
proach of the ESkimos as a signal to
move forward, scented the danger.
by some primitive command, and the
Instead of fleeing, they turned, as if
by some primitive command, and the
big bucks rushed forward to meet the
boys and the bears. AT the same in
slant the does called their fawns to
their sides and huddled together.
The Eskimos shouldered their way
into the middle of the herd, watching
the elemental maneuvers of bear and
reindeer.
The monarchs of the herd stood
with antlers pointing forward and
tho bears ewerved, milling up and
down as if looking for an opening.
The bucks turned with the motions
of the bear, their sharp antlers form
ing a barrier of bayonets.
Finally, realizing it was impossi-
bic to snatch a fawn or an Eskimo,
the great bear and her cub retreat
cd. The herd relaxed, and the Is
kimo boys emerged to resume their
vigil
