Attractive Women.


Most parents are fond of inculcat-
ing in the minds of children the idea
that beauty is undesirable, and that 1t
is really snare to the possessor.
And yet, in spite of all this, every
body wants to be beautiful. The de-
sire begins with life, and ends only
with death-if, indeed, it ever ends.
Almost the first thing the little girl
will do, after she is able to run alone,
will be to climb into chair and sur
vey herself to the looking glass.
You may preach to her till you are
hoarse that beauty is only skin deep
and that pretty dresses are not better
than plain ones, and she will listen to
you perhaps; but when she gets a
new ribbon, or hat with bright
feather in it, she will strut like
peacock, and look down from the SUI
preme height of satisfaction upon lit
tie Sally Smith, whose hat does not
show a feather.
Why is it? Because every human
being is born with the desire to be
beautiful. All who have any self re-
spect try to be beautiful. They will
do almost anything which promises
to improve their appearance.
The blooming young girl viii sleep
with fresh beefsteak on her cheeks
to increase her bloom, and the thin
haired belle will suffer year after
year, every night, the torture of curl
papers for the sake of looking more
attractive.
No matter how old and staid. and
sober minded the woman is, she al
ways wants to improve her looks.
Some of the grandmothers Of today
have their little private boxes Of
pearl powder and rouge; and the
grandfathers sport sets Of worries and
dye their gray hair and whitened
mustaches, and pad their attenuated
forms, just as if they had not reached
the age of the lean and slippered pam
taloon.
Women will risk thei- lives by ar
senic eating; they will lay themselves
liable to paralysis from the use of
lead powder; they will invite blind
ness with belladonna on the eyelids:
they will give consumption cordial
welcome by neglecting ordinary pre-
cautions; they will do a score OF
things of the same description, and
for what? Why, to be beautiful.
1t is perfectly right and proper that
every one should strive to look as
well as possible where the health,
physical or moral, is not in danger
of being injured by the means en-
ployed.
But natural beauty may be attained
without the aid of artificial appliances
We believe that cleanliness, open air
exercise; and kindness practiced to
ward all, viii do much toward making
a plain face attractive.

For the Housewife

Peach stains can be removed by
wetting the spot with water and put
ting on layer of cream Of tartar.
Then place in the hot sun.
When washing oilcloth a tablespoon
of painters size added to railful Of
water will give a glossy surface and
make it wear much better than when
washed in the ordinary way.
To keep celery for week or ev-
en- longer, first roll it up in brown
paper, then in a towel, and put it into
a dark, cool place. Before preparing
it for the table put into pan of cold
water and let fireman there for an
hour to make it crisp and cool.
To wash brushes and combs put
& teaspoonful of amonia into a basin
Of hot water and dip the brush up and
down in it, letting the comb remain
in the water for few minutes. In
this way all the grease will disappear,
and after rinsing in cold water both
brushes and combs will be perfectly
clean.
Patent leather shoes are very hard
to keep in cold weather, but if few
precautions are taken the shoes will
survive all the cold without a crack.
Every time they are worn they should
be rubbed for five minutes. When
they are first warmed thru by the
heat of the foot, rub them with the
palm of the hand until moisture Of
the skin lubricates the leather. Once
a week put three or four drops OF
neatsfoot oil in your palm until warm
and then rub it thoroly into the
leather. This treatment viii prevent
cracking.

Lac Successful Hostess

To be successful hostess, a woman
must have tact, amiability, and be
able to assume an air of indifference
when accidents occur before the eyes
of her guests. She may possess
wealth untold, she may have the kind
est of hearts and the brightest of
minds, but unless she has absolute
control of her feelings, there will be
some time in her career as hostess
that she will display annoyance or
furry, and the contagion, spreading
to her guests, win cause an otherwise
successful entertainment to result in
undisguised failure. A model hostess
must to all Appearances he made OF
stone, so far as digagreeable happen
ings are concerned Even though a
guest or careless v-aiter Inadvertently
breaks bit OF china which can new
er be replaced, she must smile as
tho tie loss of the entire set would
but emphazize the pleasure of the
evening Her ,Wellbred calm inspires
her guests with a feeling of conf
dence; and tho in her heart she may
be very dubious about certain impor-
tant details of her dinner, if she does
not show her anxiety everything win
pass off to happy conclusion. A
Hurried hostess or nervous host
whose countenance but badly conceal
the worry. they feel, can do more to-
ward making the guests uncomforta-
bic than if the soup were served
stone cold. An imperturbable calm
and ready tact are two important
factors in the making of model hos
tess. Secure these and you need new
er fear for the success of any of your
entertainments.

Don't expect bright eyes and a good
complexion if you stay indoors all day.
Where there is an excess of oil in
the hair the glands are in some way
over stimulated and then it is advis-
able to brush the hair only as much
as is necessary to keep it free from
tangles.
If the feet are given to excessive
perspiration powder lightly every
morning and night with pulverized
alum. Callous spots from walking,
dancing, ETC., may be removed by
soaking in hot water and rubbing with
pumice stone
When the children return from
school and complain of hunger. have
prepared on the back of the stove a
warm drink, either cerial, or some
soup, or hot milk and let each child
have cupful. A warm drink is much
more nourishing than bread and but
ter, cold meat, pie or cake.
A good method of removing warts
is to wet them with hot water and
then rub them for two or three min
utes with table salt. At the end of
this time cover the wart with salt
and let it remain undisturbed for an
other five minutes, when the wart
should be freed from its coat of salt.
repeat this treatment several times a
day for a week when, in most cases,
the wart win be no more There will
be no scar, SO feel no fear of this
treatment.

Commissioners Write Smoot,
Favoring Plan Stephan
Sponsors Use of Building.

The District Commissioners yester-
day gave their Endorsement to pro-
posal to permanently establish the
District Militia in the Pension Office
Building.
Writing to Senator Reed Smoot of
Utah, chairman of the Public Build
ings Commission, the Commissioners
declared that the Pension Office Build
ing would serve the purpose of an
armory for that organization admir-
ably for the reason that the large
open area in the interior of the build
ing could be utilized for drill pur-
poses"
They also pointed out that If this
assignment could be made there would
be no necessity for the enactment of
the legislation now pending in Congress
for a new building to house the organ
ization and a saving might be effected
in the rental for quarters which is
contained in the District appropriation
act
A proposal Is before the commission
to locate the armory in the Pension
Office Building when the general &C
counting office, using it, Is allocated to
new structure called for in the
public building program. Maj. Gen.
Anton Stephan, comman nding officer of
the militia, is keenly in favor of the
plan. The building is ideally situated
for the use of the militia, he told the
Commissioners, and if turned over to
that organization, space could be set
aside for meetings of veterans organ
tzations.

DIR. H. Otley Boyer Of the University

will prove the existence of stone-age
culture on the island of Luzon $4,000

This culture, he claims. has been
Malayan for at least several thousand
years. The earliest foreign contacts
were Indian and Arabian. The Chi
nese contacts came much later from
the Sung to the Ming dynasty. Speci'
mems of Arabic and Indian contacts
include Indian glass beads, bracelets
and bangles and Arabian pottery.

fense in the trial of Nicola Sacco and
Bartolomeo Vanzetti, convicted in 1921

A. Parmenter, paymaster of the Slater

Radical organizations in this coun-

of Sacco and Vanzetti, both avowed
radicals. and a fund of $2S2, 900 was
raised for the purpose.
In 1924 Judge Webster Thayer. who
presided at the trial in Norfolk SUI
