ment. and sometimes develops into
definite cancer.
Once the paraffin is injected there
is no way to remove it again. without
mutilation Of the face.
Now there are conditions which do
nevertheless warrant the use of paraf
FIN. but only when there Is a mutt
lating defect to be alleviated and only
when surgery is impracticable. The
misguided girl or woman who permits
anybody to inject parattin in her face
or any other part OF the body merely
for beauty" culture is taking Il long
chance.
A reputable plastic surgeon calls
my attention to a recent statement by
a beauty expert" who told the reader
that a plastic operation on the nose
is done by external cutting That
would be, "a fair way TO mutilate the
nose, but if the purpose Is to correct
cosmetic defect the surgeon makes
no external inciSion; he operates from
within the nose.
When writer without medical
training tries to tell the public about
a new cure or remedy, a new opera
tion, in fact, any medical or surgical
development, almost invariably he
gets more fiction than truth in his
story. Highly colored yarns often
hold out false hope to suffering people
and prompt them to neglect proper
care or treatment in order to chase
some will-o-the wisp.

WHEN WE co SHOPPING
By MRS. HARLAND III. ALLEN.

manufacturers make up laceS in suffi.
cient shades to meet all needs. Many
Summer shoes are white. with trim
mings of tan. black, or other colors.
On these shoes most women prefer
white laces. The white laces can
always be cleaned. and if they are
colored they are bound to be flecked
with white anyway from the cleaning
fluid or powder.
Shoe laces come in four popular
sizes. For low shoes the most service
able sizes are IS and "a inches. while
for high shoes the popular lengths are
Sc and 40 inches. Men usually use 2S-
inch laces for their oXfords. Laces
that are too short can't be used at all,
and laces that are too long are a
nuisance unless they can be cut off.
If you wear high shoes buy laces that
have tips firmly attached. Tips that
are just stamped on won't wear long.
The best tips are wired on, or beaded
on. A good deal of your shoe COM
fort depends on your laces, so make
them dependable by selecting the right
ones for satisfactory wear.

High Price of Beauty.

Describing the sad consequences OF
paraffin injections, which had been
made by beauty doctors" for the
purpose of pumping hollows or re
moving wrinkles or improving an
unsatisfactory nose, Drs. Douglas w.
Montgomery and George ID. Culver OF
San Francisco remark:
The question Of Furnishing persons
who cause such suffering is a grave
one. The legal phrase caveat emptor
let the buyer beware-is an old one
I'm Anglo Saxon law and is justly re-
spected but the conditions in modern
life have changed. \ few years ago
no one suspected the psychic effect OF
advertising. We now know that the
most vicious and destructive agents or
measures may flourish under its in
fiuence, and that a given amount OF
advertising will secure given amount
Of trade, irrespective of the worth OF
the article advertised.
The effect of injecting paraft1n under
the skin, to fill out hollows or plump
q sagging cheek, is in too many
instances a kind Of slow tumcr forma-
fiou, which physicians call parar-
tiuoma. There is a boSgy or doughy
swelling and a low grade inflammation
about the paraffin, which not only
gives a hideouS appearance, but
seldom responds to any kind or treat

ALBANY Easy on Tories.

ALBANY, April 90, 1776.-Decisions
handed down today by the Albany
Committee Of Correspondence in Tory
cases are marked by q determination
to conform the sentences to the cir
cumstances of the offenders. Inde'
terminate sentences and releases on
probation or parole are favored by
the committee, though heavier SEN
tences are advocated by many patriots.
Charles Gorden was acquitted OF
inimical designs against the liberties
of this country, and, being destitute
of money to bear his expenses home.
IA shillings was appropriated for that
purpose.
Lieut.. James Hewetson, brought
before the committee as being a per-

Shoe Laces.

Did YOU notice this morning. or any
preyious morning, what kind OF shoe
iaces you had OH your shoes Shoe
laces aren't the most vital things IN
ones life, but they do have consider
able significance. Your tan Shoes
would look pretty funny with white
Iaces, and you know what nuisance
1t is to lace high shoes when one Oh
the strings is minus a tip.
For light laced shoes of calf or Kid
skin you probably want marrow laces:
They are usually made of merceflzed
cotton thread, which gives them Il
silky CLEAN. II your shoes are low
cut, YOU may not want tips on the
strings. Some prefer to have the un-
finished ends. You can get narrow
lsces that have been WaXed, but they
are often stiff, and will be uncomfort-
able until after they are worn for a
while.
For oxfords YOU can't get anything
better than a thick lace that Will al
most cover the tongue of the shoe. II
you do any amount or walking you IL
prefer thick laces anyway. They don't
slip as much as thin laceS, and once
you've tied your shoe, it will stay tied.
Don't buy them 50 thick, however,
that they can't be pulled through the
eyelets.
Such footwear as sIli-boots, skating
shoes, and mocassins, are ordinarily
laced up with coWhide. CoWhide
strings have an advantage over other
materials because they wont suffer
much from water or snow. II you
keep a coWhide lace oiled it will last
indefinitely. However, many women
have very delicate feet. and cowhide
cuts into them. Oling will soften a
couhide lace, but only constant wear
ever makes it really bearable to the
sensitive foot.
Shoe laces should be matched in
color with the leather of the shoe.

lace on u black shoe. etc. There are

 love, thrills, adventure and sorrow. Two brothers, virile mon and with
 greatest love for each other are sadly separated in their love for girl who lives in Java with her mis-
 sionpry father The brothers. on different ships, go 10 Java where the girl makes her choice and the re- icctcd suitor's heart turns to hatred for his successful brother.
