Married 65 Years.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Lundstrom
of Marion, Ark, last week cele-
brated their 65th anniversary.
They were married at Halmstad,
Sweden, when Mr.. Lundstrom
was 81 years old and his bride
two years younger. In 1871 Mr..
and Mrs. Lundstrom came to the
United States, making their home
near St. Peter, Mimi, for several
years, later settling in Iowa. A
few years ago they went to Mar
ion to spend their declining
years in the home of one of their
sons.
Bishop Convicted.
Bishop Anton Bast of the Scan
dinavian Methodist church last
week in. Copenhagen, Denmark,
was convicted of the charge Of,
misrepresentation of charity funds
and sentenced to three months
in prison. His case, conspicuous
because of it's complexity, has
aroused the greatest interest
among Danish and Norwegian
Methodists in the United States,
especially in view of the fact
that he is we'll known in this
country from many visits which
he has made here. An after
math to his conviction is a suit
brought by his chief antagonist,
Rev J. P. Ingerslev of Copen-
hagen, against "Evangelisk tt
dende", official organ of the Nor
wegian-Danish M. E. Church of
America, with offices at Evan
ston, Ill. Mr.. Ingerslev claims
that articles in that paper have
damaged his reputation to the ex-
tent of $4,000,

The Ladies Aid Society of the
Norwegian Lutheran congrega-
ton at Whitewater, Wis, a few
days ago celebrated its fiftieth
anniversary. Mrs. J. O. Schei,
widow of Rev. Mr.. Schei, who
was the pastor of the congrega-
ton from 1882 to 1901, and Mrs.
Maria Simonson are the only
charter members of the society
now living. They were both
present on the occasion of the
fiftieth anniversary celebration.
AIl-Swedes' Day.
Elaborate preparations are now
being made for a so-called ALL
Swedes' day to be featured June
6 at the sesqui-centennial expo
sition in Philadelphia. A large
number of committees have been
organized in various parts of the
country so as to insure. the bring
ing together of a vast material
which is intended to throw ad-
ditional light on the contribu-
ton made by Swedes to the his
tory and the civilization of the
American people. American
sons of Sweden and American
daughters of Sweden are two
new organizations which have
been formed primarily for the
purpose of encouraging a repre-
sentative participation in the fes-

Jersey Gets Peace Offer.

BRUNSWICK, N. j., November 80,
1776-The British Howe brothers,
Gen. William and Admiral Richard,
commanders, respectively, of the
Kings military and naval forces in
America, today proclaimed procla-
nation proffering peace, pardon and
plenty to penitent patriots. All we
have to do to get the peace. pardon
and plenty is to turn traitors to
America and declare ourselves duti-
full and humble friends and followers
Of the Messrs. Howe.
These great benefits are available,
even, to soldiers in the army of
America if they will lay down their
arms and promise to take them up
no more in defense of their homes
and their liberties. This Howe peace
proposition is not unlike that laid
before Long Island after they had
conquered it. They set it before
the Jerseys as a feature of their
campaign of conquest. Will their
scheme succeed? With some faint
hearted individuals it may, but there
are reasons why it will not succeed
with others. Gov. William Livings-
ton has given these reasons In his
rallying cry to the Jersey militia.
These are his words:
1.-The war in which we are engaged
is founded on the principles of self
defense and self preservation, and to

SUB ROSA
BY MIMI.
For His Sake.

One Of the things a girl In love
learns to say first is:
I'm give it up-for his sake. l
won't keep my hair bobbed any more,
even though 1t Is the most becoming
way / can possibly fix my hair-lll
let it grow-for his sake. OF course,
love dancing more than anything
else in the world. But Chet hates 1t.
He'd rather 1 didn't do so much or II:
I'm glad to give it up-for his sake. .
In a few months the infatuated
maiden will change entirely to suit
the glorious Romeo. She'll give up
her breezy. slangy way of talking II
he happens to prefer the soft, gentle
patter of the old-fashioned girl. She II
wear the sort of clothes she doesn't
particularly like herself just to please
him.
It's the natural thing for her to do.
1t makes her happy to give him pleas
ure. she tells herself.
However, even the most infatuated
girl must try to use a little common
sense in the matter of pleasing her
boy friend.
In the first place she must make
perfectly sure in her mind that the
man for whom she's making these
radical changes is going to be per-
IIldHGnl ucT lAAC.
Woe betide the impulsive maiden
who rashly decides not to dance
not to chat breezily-not to dress In
the modern style-for his sake-and
then discovers herself left high and
dry. suddenly, without her man and
without her old personalities to get
the other boys.
There's nothing sadder than the
spectacle of the girl who rashly gave
up all her favorite amusements,
styles of dressing and hair bob to
please a man who wasn't pleased
enough to stay.
While she has been giving up
things for his sake she has been
growing duller and more uninterest-
ing in the eyes of the other boys
so that when she gets ready to stage
a comeback she finds herself out Of
luck. Yet her faithless Romeo my
roam off to seek just the type of girl
he has trained her not to be.
Very often a man fuses at his
sweetheart for things in her which
have really attracted him from the
beginning.
When Tom finally persuaded Ethel
to change from a bright, poppy, pert
young thing into an adoring, sub

his discontinue that he'd created a
change which didn't really please
him at all. And Ethel, Of course,
got left. So that it's wise not to let
the boy friend have too much to say
about your habits, clothes. amuse-
ments, manners and SO forth.
Humor him, but stand on your
own feet, and If you find he's bent
on changing you entirely tell him
that If he really loves you he won't
find it necessary to remodel you to
suit his whims.
You mustn't give up your person.
ality-for his sake. Save what's best
in it, no matter how much you think
a change would give him pleasure.

Tabooing the Yawn.
BY JEAN NEWTON.

The taboo against generally yawn-
ing in company would seem to require
no research or investigation. / heard
a man terSely express the sentiment
the other day when he said to his ap-
parently sleepy companion: why
don't you tell me right out I'm a
bore?"
But at 6 o'clock in the morning,
after an all-night party, when every
one is presumed to be tired. it is con-
sidered just as impolite to yawn as it
would be at II o'clock noon. Why?
At that time it is really unnecessary
to explain that 1t is the hour rather
than the company. But we must
apologize, just the same. And this
general prejudice against the yawn is
a relic of an old superstitution that
has Travelled a long way.
Among the many traditional observ-
ances that are incumbent upon the
Gypsy woman of Seibenberge, pic
turesque mountain section on the
Rhine, when she is about to bear
child. an important one is that she be
careful to closely cover her mouth
with her hand when she yawns, to
keep the evil spirits from slipping
down her throat This idea of the
yawn opening the way for evil spirits
was generally prevalent in the days Of
witchcraft and superstition. Hence
we toboo the yawn.

The Mystery Clue.

Before there were so many murder
mysteries to entertain the paper
reading public the famous sesimoid
bone murder caused great excitement
and called science to the witness box
in a way then rare. In the COS a
rich sausage manufacturer of Chi
cago lost his wife, lost her so COM
pletely that the police were suspicious
and began looking in the grinding
machines for traces of the vanished
lady. They did not find them there,
but they found on the premises a
single bone, a small joint bone, called
the sesamoid. hTe defense argued
that it was a bone from a monkey
IA damaging admission for a sausage
manufacturer in any easel, but an
thropologists and doctors agreed that
only a human being had a sesamoid
bone. AS the sausage king could not
explain how a stray sesimoid bone
was on the place he was adjudged
guilty.

Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mrs. A. c. r. has a little boy 1S
months old and she cannot under
stand why, whenever he gets a
chance, he wants to eat dirt. She
wonders why that should be.
Answer-If your 1S-month-old baby
is having a full and generous diet OF
the foodstuffs necessary at his age
there should be no trouble in break
ing this very bad habit. Correction
of the diet, then, is the first essential
in curing him, and meanwhile make
it impossible for him to eat dirt by
keeping him on the porch when he
plays.
Mrs. NJ. S. writes: II enjoy your
little column and have benefited by it
very much. There are a few things
I would like some advice on. My
baby is II months old and is trained.
Now l have made an experiment and
have found that for the last week,
when she did not get a bottle at bed
time she did not wet the bed at
night, while last night, when l gave
her one, she did. Do YOU think /
ought to cheat her Of this last
bottle? She has eight ounces Of milk
after breakfast and after lunch and
has jun4xet made with six ounces of
milk once a day. Will she be getting
enough milk if I cut out this after
supper bottle?
"Also. may she have well-beaten
raw egg? I give this to her with
spinach. What other cereals can she
have beside the finer wheat cereals?
She gets vegetables every day and
weighs 1917 pounds"
Answer-She is too young to be de-
pr1ved Of her bedtime bottle, and 1t
is surprising that she will go to sleep
without it. Naturally fluids at night
do influence wetting, but when she is
older she will still be able to take a
glass of milk at night, and this should
not affect the bed wetting. Unless
there were some better reason for de-
priving her of the bottle than this,
should not do 1t.
Raw egg can be given in one of the
bottle feelings. 1t seems rather un-
appetizing to me, poured over spin
ach, unless the egg Is cooked.
Oatmeal. put through a strainer, or
barley treated the same way. gives
variety of cereal.

most just and glorious, and warrant
ed by the immutable law Of God.
I'VE have pledged our words and
honor to support the cause with our

opportunity to evince to the world
that such assurances were not the
inconsiderate effusions of the boast
ing bravo, but the cool declarations
of the determined hero, now glory

his valour and avenge the indignities
offered to his injured country.
THE eyes of all Europe are fixed
on the brave Americans, as a people
resolved at all hazards to maintain
that independence which British in
Justice and British cruelty compelled
them to adopt.
I'VE ought not be unwilling to do
for our descendants what our an
cestors have done for us, nor can
we be so base as to surrender with
out a struggle that inestimable jewel
liberty, to a ruffian band of mer-

CHAPTER XXVI.

Many Of Helena's new friends came
to her open Friday nights, and there
were times when the evening took on
a gala spirit due mainly to them.
John was forced to admit it to him.
SELF They gave Zest to the occasion
while his own friends. although al
ways willing to enter into the spirit
of fun created, had to be led.
No evening was ever the same.
Sometimes it consisted largely of
conversation, sometimes they danced.
One night they played chlidren's
games. Charades and a foolish word
game called Guggenheim, where they
all sat around table and ended by
going into shrieks of laughter.
One night they sat on the floor be-
cause there were so many of them
and played a wild game of Up Jen-
kins. There were sides and each
side had leader. A coin was passed
hastily from hand to hand and the
leader Of the other side had the right
to call up Jenkins" whenever he
wished. If some one other than the
leader called the words and any one
on the opposing side responded, the
coin was forfeited.
Afterward they had all trooped like
children into Helenas bathroom to

himself believe that these new friends
Of Helena's were not serious enough,
and. yet he always had a good time
at the Friday nights and wouldn't
have given them up for the world.
Besides these people worked hard
when they worked and they actually
accomplished things, he was forced to
admit that. But he never admitted
1t to any one but himself. To Helena
he was always family satirical in
talking about them.
In the early Spring Helena and
John spent a week end with Natalie
and the two girls had several talks.
Natalie's girlish enthusiasm had
given way to a more serene, more
mature attitude about life. Not that
she wasn't as much fun, and on oc-
casions she still wore her old impu-
dent manner. But there was a dig
nifty about her that she had never
had before and Helena mentioned the
fact that she had changed consider
ably.

promptly.

"You really want the truth?'

REALTY CHATS BY EDNA KENT FORBES

mildly astringent, not enough to be
used against wrinkles or large pores,
merely enough to make the face feel
fresh, and. as l said, to correct oil1-
ness. 1t is equal parts witch haZel
and rose water, and little boraclc
acid-say. two drams to eight ounces
of the other. A little more, or less,
doesn't matter.
A very fragrant and very cheap
astringent, to freShen the skin, to 90
away with oilness after cold cream
massage and to tighten large pores
consists of 10 drops of tincture of
benzoin to a quart of water, in which
the face is rinsed. Or, If you wish to
make a real lotion from this, for 1T
whitens the skin and does it lot of
good, take half pint bottle of clear
water, preferably boiled, add 10 drops
Of the tincture to this and shake up
we'll. If it isn't quite a milky solu-
ton, add a few more drops. To use
it, soak pad of cotton wool in it and
dab all over the face. OF course, the
skin should be absolutely clean before
this or any astringent is used, other
wise dirt Is sealed up in the pores.
Witch hazel is most refreshing. as
perhaps you know. You can make
real face lotion of it by adding a few
small bottle of it, and it will be so
cheap you can use it, too. by soaking
a pad of cotton with it and rubbing
the face.
There Is no use making up a lot of
beauty lotions because they smell
sweet or feel nice. Whatever you
use on your face or hands should do
your skin some good. If you have a
dry skin, you can overcome this by
massaging with cream, and astring
ents will cure an oily skin. as we'll as
tone up a f1abby one. If your com
pleXion is perfect, though, let it alone.
Pete-It is all right to use water on
your face before the massage with
the olive Oil, but have water warm
enough to open the pores so that the
skin will have greater chance to alb.
sorb the Oil.
Massage with finger tips until
muscles tingle from the increased cir
culation, then wipe off the superf1u-

Smooth Elbows.

This time of year. elbows are a diff
ficulty. Cold weather makes them
chap though they are protected by
sleeves. and it is hard to make them
properly smooth and attractive for
sleeveless evening frocks. Unless you
try this treatment:
Make sup my cleansing cream
formula dts in the Beauty PAM
phlet, in case YOU haven't got it), but
instead of the mineral oil use olive
oil, and instead of the spermaceti, use
lanOline. I.anoline will make fat, 1t
will also grow hair. Therefore, 1t Is
not to be recommended for facial mas
sage. but is excellent for elbows. AS
you won't need much. make up half
or even a quarter of the amount the
formula calls for.
Scrub your elbows with very hot
water, soap. and brush. dry and at
once put on the lanoline cream. The
skin should be Steamy and hot for
this to be most effective, for then the
pores are open and the thick cream
more readily absorbed. Rub it in well,
the best way | think is to make cup
OF the hand. and rub this round and
round the elbows. Wipe off what is
left on the surface of the skin.
The only fault with this treatment
Is its awkwardneSs. You can't very
we'll bind up the elbows to hold the
cream on them. as you put on cos
metic glove to protect the hand. Or
rather. you can. but making and
fitting and adjusting a bandage to the
elbow is great nuisance. I'd sug-
gest you try this massage when you
have a good hour of work or leisure
ahead. when YOU can roll up your
sleeves and let the grease soak into
the elbows while YOU do something
else You can do housewOrk. for in
stance, without any special incon-
venience. and if YOU wear working
dress. it won't matter if the elbows
do rub against il. Then wash off
what's left of the cream and powder.
