Yesterday Karl Whitney, who has
recently returned from Europe, pre-
scntcd to the trustees of the Ortho-
pcdic Hospital, the pearls that be-
longed to the late Mrs. Whitney.
bazaar which will be held at the
benefit Of the hospital, week after
next.
These jewels are said to be worth
more than "A half million doilars.
They were left by Mr.. Whitney's
wife to her sister Mrs. John Alden
Prescott. Because Of her sisters sad
and untimely death, Mrs. Prescott
has never worn them since they be-
came hers and she decided to sell
them some months ago just after
they were the cause Of a most sens:-
tonal attempt Of burglary in which
Miss Zoe Ellington, the nursery gov
erncss of Mrs. Prescott, met her
death and Mr.. Sydney Carton, an old
friend of the family, was kidnapped
and nearly starved to death before
he was set free. This. Of course,
was an added shock to Mrs. Prescott
and she felt that none Of the family
would ever see them upon her with
out memories of these sad events.
When Mr.. Whitney found what his
sistcr-in-law intended to do, he con-
ceived the idea Of buying the jewels
from her and presenting them in
trust to the bazaar committee to be
sold at their coming charity enter
tainment.
1t will be remembered that Mr..
Whitney built the Orthopcdic Hos
pital and presented it to the city in
memory of his mother.

Did you ever look upon the skin
of little baby, SO clear and pink
and think that perhaps in few years
that same face would be perhaps
blotchy and marred by sears and
pimples" How unlikely it is for any
child even in these days to grow
into manhood or womanhood with
out going through a period Of skin
eruption and possibly Disagreement.
One of the most common Of skin
cruptions is that known as acne.
Acne is skin eruption produced by
inflammation Of the sweat glands and
hair follicles. Before there is any
be blackbcads.
q very frequent skin condition as Il
glands Of the skin and plugging up
Of the outlet of these glands. Some
skins seem to be peculiarly liable to
blackhcads and acne. If your skin
shows large pores or is unnaturally
oily, you are more likely to develop
acne. Blackheads become infected.
pus caps develop, pimplcs and red
spots and swollen places appear in
the skin. The forehead and face
and tho back of the neck and shoul-
dcrs arc favored spots for the dcvcl
opmcnt Of acne.
1t may be highly ,commendablc to
teach children self reliance and indc-
pcndcncc--in fact, it probably is, but
it is scarcely the part of good par
cnthood to neglect to exercise Ger
tain amount Of supervision even dur
ing this period of youthful indc-
pendcncc. Unless growing boys and
girls cat proper food and care for
their bodies as they should, there
is sure to be trouble and this trouble
frequently manifests itself on the
skin.

Baraboo has one of the prettiest
little skating ponds one could wish
for, through the enterprise of a
group of young people, assisted by
H. Fl. Grub, Mayor Adolph andre,
and others. A space on the river
just above the dam near the high
bridge was cleared and the entire
space was outlined with Christmas
trees, which were gathered up from
ash piles and reftIse dumps about
town. The width of the river and
a space equally long is enclosed by
the trees, set upright in snow banks
and here and there benches are
placed for the convenience of the
skaters, The trees not only make
a good wind-break but are exceed
ingly pretty.
