HOW TO BE BEAUTIFUL

The people of Pocatello had a
treat this week in some lectures on
how to be beautiful and healthy and
of harmoious mind, Madam Ida
Chernoff being the speaker, accord
ing to the Pocatello Tribune, her ad-
wise and philosophy being about as
| follows:
Shakespeare said Beauty is
bought by judgment of the eye Is
that why, when we ask anyone for
his opinion of beauty, he is likely
to say, beauty is grace of carriage;
then another will add, beauty is the
hair and it's arrangement; the third
will exclaim that he has found real
beauty in tranquility of face, all
other in the soft tones of the voice.
Then we have the ardent admirer Of
beauty of SOUL This, to my way of
thinking, is the real beauty. The
beauty that comes from within, she
who only thinks unselfishly, does al
ways what she can for others, and
thru reflection gets the real benefits
from her action. 1t is truthfully
said that we get what we reflect.
TO strive for beauty. externally,
today seems to be the innate desire
of most women, and shall we ex-
clude the men? For we are not
using the term literally, rather than
fguratively? Primarily, most peo-
pie are not interested in beauty it
self, as that is but an empty thing,
but combined with character, and
good health it is indeed blessing;
for we must admit that we always
make way for the well groomed
woman, the woman who has the con-
scious feeling that she looks right,
because she has seen to it that her
tongue is sweet, her eyes have the
open countenance of one who lives
rightly, and her body, thru the man
ner in which she cares for it, shows
that she cares for herself, not for
vanity, but for the pleasure it gives
to those who surround her.
1.-The three life sustaining princi-
pies, if properly INDUCED in, are in
themselves creative of beauty in a
rare form. They are food, air and
water. But living in this day and
age as we do, always in a hurry, we
overlook these important elements
of life, and rather place them in
the background.
GAS to food, we should be very
careful in our selection of it. The
person who is thin, and inclined !
therefore to be nervous, eats of |
heavy pastries, thinking they are fat
tening. Then too, she eats hurridly, |
as if always to catch a train. She |
does not know, unless she is in
therein, that she must eat
very slowly, and of certain foods
that are easily digested.,
'The person who is inclined to be
4 little overweight, and because
obesity is not consistent with good
health, desires to reduce, should fol-

/, in the shortest possible time.
Going away from home to buy
goods, especially bargains was shown
to be false move in most cases, a:
Miss Leigh described one buyer
whose purchase advertised as bar
gain at some little distance from hel
home cost more than she would have
paid right around the corner, wher
she added car fare, the price of q
soda because of her fatigue in going
so far, etc. This was shown to be
equally true in going out of town tc
make purchases. Uusually the added
car fare and other incidentals make
the purchase move, not less, expen-
sive.
Then Miss Leigh gave some
"Don'ts" that she had handed out to
her by a group of some fifty sales
people whom she had asked to tell
the things they would like to have
her say to just suclI an audience as
the one she was addressing. First,
don't run your hand, upon the
fingers of which you are wearing
rings; especially with stones in them,
into silk stocking or silk under
garment Moore often than not the
setting of the stone catches pust one
tiny thread, which it breaks; a run
follows and the article is unfit for
sale.
Please don't go to the movies or
theatre, etc., and then leave an
afternoons shopping all to be done
in about ten minutes.
After that message, Miss Leigh
gave not a little valuable informa-
tion to the women present as to GER
tain kinds of merchandise the value
of which they have wrong idea Of
When in doubt it is well to ask the
salesperson, as they often can give
good advice, but not always. An in
stance given was that the customer
usually in buying glove silk under
wear, wants. the-heavy quality The
speaker showed the weight has
nothing to do with the wearing
quality of glove silk underwear But
the purchasers thinking that is what
they should buy, the manufacturers
have had to meet the demand and
are using tin to weight the silk to
the desired consistency. This weight
ing only creates friction and lessons
the wearing quality of the fabric. A
good saleswoman will tell a pur-
chaser which is the best quality and
it will not be the heaviest. Other
examples given were the idea of
buying face powder by the perfume
and fancy box, often done by intelli-
gent women; table linen that is
''heavy''-with sizing; electrical
goods not understood by the pur-
chaser. When in doubt, Miss Leigh
advised asking the saleswoman or
man, or if they did not know, the
buyer or manager. The next best
guarantee of an article is ole that is
nationally advertised or has nation
known trade mark. Such manufac-
.urers must maintain their reputa-
ion by selling such goods of the
quality that they advertise and will
make good"
Miss Leigh was asked if there
we're such things as Real Bar
gains" She said there were, espe-
tally in wearing apparel. Often a
person would buy suit or dress or
:oat at the beginning of the season,
when the style was new and pay, say, |
$40 or $50, when toward the end of |
he season another would buy an
,ther suit or dress or coat exactly |
he same for $25 or $50, because the
lyle was no longer new and the
eason advanced. The quality and !

get up, and take this deep breathing,
and you have started the day right.
You will feel as If you can conquer
worlds, and if you have the strength
of the determination to follow up
the desire, you will f1nd-you can!
So you see it is necessary to breathe
correctly, to improve ones efficiency.
If you doubt this, will you kindly
ask any doctor, or other authority?
Have you ever known an athlete
to commit suicide, who, in his train
ing, had to breathe properly? No.
Do you thing 1t Is merely a coincf-
dence that you do not? 1t Is because
he cannot throw away anything so
precious as life, when he knows what
| life can be-thru deep breathing.
Have the children try it.
"Then the other element l refer
red to which in itself is certainly ef-
fective toward creating good health,
is drinking water. And bathing
of course. We're we to read the sta
tistfcs on how many sicknesses could
actually be avoided by taking more
water into our systems, the figures
would be 30 appalling that never
again would we forget, and we would
take no less than six to eight glasses
of water a day, unless otherwise
directed by physician. But how
many of us, who have little ailments,
not serious at all, you know, do
drink water, except In the hot
weather with our meals, when we
should not take it at all. If you are
going to drink water, cd it between
your meals. With your meals, you |
do not depend upon thoro mastica-
ton of your food, but instead, wash |
1t down with water or other liquids.
Simple advice? Yes, but every
thing helpful in life is simple, or
most of us could not follow it. But
these principles of life do as much
toward making you feel good, re-
fiecting beauty, and giving you poise
in carriage as anything else that is
sensible can.
There is a little verse that is
surely in itself lesson, and points

SHOPPING TALKS TO WOMEN


In the old city of Kingston, New
York, they recently had sort OF
farm bureau meeting of the women
to talk over problems Of shopping
and a Miss Leigh, who had been out
interviewing salespeople and custom
ers to get their views of both sides
of the question, took the lead in
telling how to shop and how best to
get the things wanted. We reprint
part of it from the Kingston Free
man of that city on "a Picture OF
Yourself-As Seen Behind the
Counter
Miss Leigh said it was a rare treat
to her to address group of women
who were customers, for the most OF
her time was devoted to addressing
salespeople. While it was less fire.
Quent for her to address women who
buy she had many messages from
both merchants and salespeople to
give to them. Nor did she for one
moment discount the fact that there
was always much to be said in a
critical or suggestive way to the
salespeople.
The first request that she had
from a prominent merchant was that
she try to convince women buyers OF
the grave error of acquiring and
keeping up the looking and long
ing habit whereby they take up
the time of salespeople and make
themselves unhappy by wishing for
things that they see in shops, but
which cost more than they can pos
sibly pay. To get the best possible
for the money that one can spend
an1 then to be satisfied with that act
was a much better plan.
From both merchant and sales
people came the request that Miss
Leigh urge women customers to
make out a shopping list and then
take it with them when shopping
Miss Leigh showed how much time
of the woman herself, other custom
ers and the sales people was con-
sumed by the woman who tries to
shop without list, and wonders
what she wants at such and such a
counter" while other buyers wait
for the services of the saleswoman
whom she keeps waiting while she
tries to recall the list left at home
An excellent constructive sugges-
ton was made to Miss Leigh by
COuS1uSTdI0 anu WISE CuSlOncI, anu
that was to have two lists for shop
ping; one list of things one must
have, the other a list of things one
would like to have. Many of the
latter articles will be found as bar
gains while one is going about buy
ing the things one must have.
Again Miss Leigh begged of women
everywhere to go up to the counter
with as definite request as pos
sible. To go to trimming counter
and ask for bright colored banding
to trim a bingham dress for little
girl, the same to be about an inch
wide and to cost not more than SO
cents, would save an immense
amount of time and good nature for
both the buyer and seller, whereas
TO go to the same counter and ask
for trimming" would result In
much waste of time and exaspera-
ton. Or II one does not know just
what one wants, then give as defin-
ite a request as possible, but tell the
or man that one does
not know exactly what they want,
not knowing the styles or materials
used In that. case good sales per-
son would be able to offer valuable
suggestions and show possible goods

HUGHES DENIES
POINCARE PLOT
AGAINST SOVIET
But 1t Appears There
Was Gentleman's Pact
10y The Federated Press)

WASHINGTON, July 6.-Speciflc
denial that any understanding had
existed between Premier Poincare and
the State Department, whereby French
and American governments were
to consult one another before either
should change its policy toward Rus
STA, was made on Monday by depart
ment officials. They were resentful of
a press report, which appears to have
originally been published in Chica-
go, to the effect that Poincare and
Hughes were bound by a compact to
give no recognition to Moscow except
by joint consent.
What existed was a promise by
Paris to notify Washington whenever
a change in policy was to be made;
this did not imply that Hughes con-
sent would be required before the
French foreign office could make any
move. 1t merely gave Hughes a
chance to change his own attitude at
the same time.
France is going to recognize Mos
COW, and Hughes is going to continue
probably until after the November
election-to refuse to deal with Mos
COW. After November another story
may be told.

Promotions to high ONCE in the
Chicago fire department were pur-
chased, not made by merit, according
to the testimony of Assistant Fire
Chief Dennis Egan, who admitted that
he was sane and challenged anyone
to sue him for his statements. Egan
spoke before the city council commit
tee headed by Alderman Guy Guern-
sey.
Oflces as low as lieutenants were
subject to sale, and of course, all the
jobs higher up, Egan said. First As
sistant Chief John c. Mcdonnell said
that charges against fremen never
came up before the civil service COM
mission unless the man charged was
absolutely without friends or stand
ing.
Most of the charges made in the
committee referred to the administra-
ton of the fire department under John
f. Cullerton as fire commissioner The
council committee is continuing its
investigation and will possibly seek
indictments II it is found that civil
service laws have been violated.

Spy Really to Blame
For German Raid on
Russian Mission

The so-called German Communist"
Botzenhardt has been exposed as a
police spy by comrade H. S. Kamien-
ski, the Berlin correspondent of the
Communist Polish paper "Trybuna."
Botzenhardt was held by German au-
thorities after the raid on the Russian
trade delegation.
Botzenhard, according to Kamienski,
was supposed to be on the way from
the Anhalt railroad station to the
Szczecin railroad station when, as the
capitalist press reported it, he "es-
capped" into the Russian Trade dele
cation headquarters, which was not
at all on the course between the two
stations. Police knew in advance
about the coming escape" and we're
prepared hours in advance to raid
the place to get their prisoner" The
story that Botzenhardt convinced the
policemen that the Soviet Mission was
tea room is too much to believe,
said Kamienski.
