Death in the Vanity Box
BY SCIENCE SERVICE

CHICAGO, June LITTLE flappers war
paint may not only be perfectly killing" to
the beholder, but fatal to herself. At least,
If long continued, the use of modern cos
metics may result in serious illness, said
Prof. H. n. Cole of the medical department
of Western Reserve University to the mem
bers of the American Medical Association in
session here today.
This danger resulting from the OF cos
metics was outlined by DR.. Cole as follows:
''In the first place, there is the mechanical
obstruction by creams, powders, and rouges.
The pores in skin were intended by
nature to serve as lubricating and eXcretory
ducts. II these are constantly closed off, the
mechanical obstruction alone is bound to in
jure any skin.
Then we have the specific chemical ac-
ton, depending in the first place the
susceptibility of the patient; secondly, on
the strength and duration of the applicat ton,
alOng with the character of the nostrum APP
plied-fOr example, mercury, arsenic"
Other dangerous substances contained in
beauty preparations listed by DR.. Cole are
lead, bismuth, compounds Of silver, salicyic
acid, resorcin pyrogallic acid nitric acid,
calcium, barium, and a most dangerous sub
stance called raphenylendiami Thu most
commonly offending substance found in pow
ders, face enamels and creams is lead, which
causes the well known lead poisoning. This
illness causes Inflammation and sT cling Of
the affected parts, as well as severe internal
pains, intox alton, and sometimes death.
Another common poison used in bleaches
is mercury. Regarding this danger, DR.. Cole
said, 1.-The American Medical Association
Laboratory reports that in their analyses of
bleaches and frecke lotions they have found
bichloride OF mercury in solution as high as
| to 200. When one stops to consider that
bichlorid Of mercury in solution l to 1000
is an efficient antseptc, we can readily see
what danger woman must be running in

false balance is an abomindtion to the

When pride cometh, then cometh shame,
but NTH the lowly is wisdom. The in
tegrity of the upright shall guide them,
but the perperseness of transgressors shall

from death. The merciful man doeth good
to his own soul, but he that is cruel
troubleth his own flesh. The wicked work-

eth righteousness shall be a sure reward.
As righteousness tendeth to life, so he that

June the Fifteenth. 1915

~ NE of the greatest days in English his
tory, June the 18th, 1915, witnessed
thrilling drama five miles west of
Windsor, in Surrey, on the right bank of the
Thames river. The place was called Runny-
mede, and the stage was a great meadow
broken by cIumps of noble trees one of
which was standing few years ago.
To this spot came great company, march
ing from the town of Staines. There were
the earls, barons, archbishops, bishops and
burghers OF England accompanied by two
thousand knights. The air, full of banners,
trembled with the blare of trumpets and the
flashed on waving plumes and danced on
lance point and crest. To the same place in
silence, almost, came another and a smaller
company. These were led by John, King of
England, who, having become vassa of the
Pope, and having lost his Norman posses
sions, was about to sign away forever
kingly prerogatves.
This smaller company was composed OF
eight bishops, a papal representative, a COM
mander of the English Templars, the Earl of
Pembroke, and thirteen other gentlemen.
This was the little group which faced Fitz-
walter, and England's nobility on that ia
nous day, and saw the king attach his sig
nature to the document which was to be
known forever Magma Charta.
The barons and their goodly company had
brought the king to this meeting 1t was
they who in November preceding had n ed
the day and place. Their demands as ex-
pressed in the charter had been submitted to
him and he had at first sworn his lannon's
OATH by Gods teeth, will not grant these
people liberties that will make a slave of
me" but, fear triumphing, he asked for time
to answer; day after Easter. They had
named June the 18th as the day on which
they would receive his answer, and Runny-
mede as the placc.
The king had reason to fear. The as
sembled barons and knghts might be di-
vided by brides and chcanery, but they had
appealed to the free Cities to the strong
Independent burghers and the middle classes
depending on them. On these, as it turned
out, really rested the liberties of England:
they held the sovereign power, but did not at
that time know it. Had the cast in with
the king the revolution would ave ended,
and many a noble head have fallen. But
they were wise cid burshers and knew hat
the encroachments of the crown would some
day ruin them; aad here was a settlement
In sight; chance to play the two enCs
against each other for the salvation of the
middle. London threw open her gates on a
Sunday, and the army of mobiles uttered
entered so quietly that divine service in the
churches was not disturbed.
This had ended the struggle, for the king,
at that time. He had asked for delay,
and it had been granted. But now the day
had come, and his name was on the Hateful
contract.
But John had not the slightest intention

ia, but differs in it's origin strikingly.
Whereas the English constitution came by
way of royal grants and ACCOMPLISHMENTS In
England and Saxony, the American was pro-
mulsated as an expression OF the inherent
rights of man. What the English did not
took little by little or inherited from remote
Saxony. AS a general proposition l. may be
said that their laws arose through the con-
sent Of the governing power In the begin
ming. In America the individual is q sover-
eign. Law is derived from him. Grouped
as states these individuals lost as much of
their sovereignty as they conceded to the
Union, but the individual has lost nothing
On the contrary he has gained, since he, as
is to all intents and desired purposes a
citizen of forty-seven other states also, and
in time of peril from an outside fee will have
their protection. We derive the idea OF a

One other lesson was taught at Runny-

barons could have bought peace Eat any
price, but they were not pacfsts to that
extent What if they had yielded? They
did not yield On the contrary, they fought

No answer Mary clasped her hands. She
looked at his averted face and wondering
eyes Almost it was on the tip OF her tongue
to say:
II am Mary Furnival You knew that,
didn't you? Surely you knew that?"
He went on speaking before the words
were formed.
Nigel seems to have thought great deal
of her. He speaks of her as his best friend.

what she did for him and-and his wife"
And now he turned, looked at her across
the room steadily. 9
that lightning pause her mind seemed to
have covered miles and miles of thought
Her agitation fell from her. She felt il she

for Mary Furnival! What easier than to say
that she had married. and was even now on
her way to America. whilst she-she--
She allowed herself to travel no further
down that line Of thought. She began to
speak slowly and collectedly, meeting his
eyes fairly and squarely.
'She is married. Mary Furnival was mar
ried just a week ago. She is her way to
America now with her husband"
Bretherton WAS standing with his back to
the light, and she could not see the flicker
ing amazement of his eyes. When he spoke
his voice was quiet and very courteous.

you will do SO for me?"
She did not answer Her heart was beat

she had said and done.
He went on:
Il came here this morning because want

Grange. I wanted to ask If you would care to
come down there, to live down there"
Mary stared at him. II! To live there!"
For moment she forgot that she had al
lowed him to think that she was Dolly; for
the moment she could only remember the
beautiful old house as she had seen it that
once with Nigel-the Uncovered walls the
sloping lawns. A faint color tinged her pal
lor. Her eyes flashed.
ooh, I should love it-loye IT," she
breathed, then stopped.
What right had she there? Why was he
making her this offer?
David continued evenly:
'If Nigel had lived, it would eventually
have been your home. I am sure it would
please him to know that you are there, even
though he is gone"
The color had died from Mary's face. She
was white enough now. She stammered as
