There are two splendid remedies for
sharp, ugly, dark, dry-looking elbows
One is a permanent cure. the other
temporary; YOU should try both II
you don't happen to have the smooth,
dimpled elbows Of the really beauti-
full woman.
The temporary cure is good scrub
bling with a stiff complexion brush
(this Is essentiaD, soap. and hot water
followed by a good rubbing with
vanishing cream. When the cream
has quite taken up, powder thorough
ly and the elbows will look very we'll
indeed The only bad part of this Is
that they will take up dirt more
readily, therefore I'd advise this as a
last-minute treatment when you are
wearing q sleeveless dress.
The permanent cure is much more
bother, but worth 1t, think. Scrub
the elbows as before with soap, hot
water, and a brush. Then either sit
with both elbows In a shallow pan OF
warm olive oil, or else tie cotton satu-
rated with oil around the elbows (you
can do this by slipping elastic bands
holding oiled silk as a pad over the
oily cotton), or else spend half an hour
rubbing and rubbing warm olive oil
up a lot of the oil, and 1t must be
olive oil, or some equally good fat
tening skin food. Lanolin or lano-
lin cold cream would do; ordinary
cold creams are only cleansers and
of no value at all.
There's no use using skin bleaches
on the elbows, for if they are dis
colored 1t is from dirt, and cleaning
and nourishing the skin as suggested
is all you need.
Powder the elbows before going out
in a sleeveless dress. 1t prevents
their soiling and makes them better
looking.

Children born tomorrow will in

signs of pertinacity and will use all

financial enterprise will derive spe-

AUTO LICENSES
ARE NOW DUE
Auto Owners Are Given
Until February First To
To Purchase 1926
Plates

County Assessor Thomas Trathen,
who handles the sale of automobile
license plates, informs the Republi-
can that very few plates have been
sold this year in comparison to the
sales of last year At this time last
year there had been about five hum
dred plates sold and only about
twenty-five sales have been reported
to date.
According to the law license plates
must be purchased not later than the
first OF February and the law in this
regard viii be strictly enforced at
that time.
The process Of purchase is much
more simple this year as the auto
owner viii merely have to give the
necessary information at the asses
sor's office and will receive his plate.
Last year the plates were mailed out
from the Office of the secretary Of
state at Boise.

SHEEP CLUB GETS
WONDERFUL EWES

The Boys Sheep club organized
through the extension service. at
King Hill and Glenns Ferry secured
% bred Hampshire ewes from the
Rober Blastock flock at Filler. Four
teen boys are enrolled in this club
from the two communities, and have
one and two sheep each. AS these
sheep are some of tn choicest Hamp-
shires in the United States the boys
can well be proud Of them.
The boys all aim to show their
their lambs at the district fairs next
fall and it will behoove the Hamp-
shire breeders Of the state, to be on
their mettle if they wish to maintain
their lead over these coming Hamp-
shire breeders. 1t is also probable
that a buck lamb sale will be held
at Boise after the fair next fall. A
good sale will enable the boys to
clean the slate and be ready for the
next season and those needing bucks
are urged to keep in touch with them.

8th to attend a meeting Of all local

organization of Boys Band, which
win be held at the library at TAO.
The parents Of all boys who are eli
glble are especially requested to be
present and all other citizens who
are interested in the proposed pro-
ject. The establishment Of a boys
band in Mountain Home would be
very valuable asset to the town as
they would in a short time be far
enough along that they could furnish
concerts and music for other public
gatherings and at the same time
would prove a source of clean amuse-
ment for the boys of the town.

A judgment was rendered on De-

Brinck held the National Surety Com
pany responsible in the amount Of
