! There k sjl! another class il which the vegetable powder is tha base. One such is ii,e wel.-bnow l rice powder apparently the most innocent of all. Bnf is rice bowler as innocent as 1T looks?
 Our mothers considered i, 70. For some reason the very nam rice took the harm ont of powders. which on the whole were consider ed adjuncts of the devil. But as q matter of fact, rice or any other starchy powder is the prime cause or enlarged pores and does infi- nitely more harm than those of mineral base.
 Starch, you see, has such an af- finity for water that it unites with the perspiration and quickly swells to twice it's normal size. Lodged in the pores, this causes distention and ultimately the pores become permanently enlarged and the skin coarsened in texture.

Your Health How To Keep It. Causes of Illness
BY DIR. NORRIS F7SHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of HNgcia, the Health Manazinc

! As a part of careful investiga. i tion of the health Of the Bellevue.
 Yorkville district of New York city
 q study has been made of the street
 accidents and their causes. Statsti-
 clans found that there had been
 1852 street accidents in that dis
 trict from January to July 1. 1927. ! In 1,468 of these accidents or
 about so per cent, 1875 persons suffered injuries. The remainder
 represents about o,0oo accidents for each 100000 people, as the district concerned has a residential popula- tion of about 160,000 people. In 70 per cent of the cases, the l accidents were caused by automo-
 piles of various types, four -ffths of these being due to taXicabs or pri- vate cars and the other one fifth due to commercial cars or trucks. One hundred and thirty-four peo- pie were injured in falls, slipping on icy pavemcnts or tripping over ob- stacles.
 About half those killed were school children, one-fourth middle aged and one-fourth older groups Twice as many boys as girls were the victims of accidents, and ap- parently boys and men are much than are women and girls.
 Jay walking was the most fre- quent cause of accidents; the next, attempts to cross against the lights; the next, accidents due to hitchins or getting rides; then obstruction of vision by buildings, and last of all, running or playing in the street.
 X careful study of the conditions causes the belief that in street ac- cidents involving automobiles, the motorist of a defective condition of the car is responsible in about one third of the cases; in the other two thirds, the carelessness of the pe- destrian IS responsible.
 The motorist is accused of high speed, skidding, stopping too quick ly or backing up carelessly Street accidents occur most frequently in afternoons and evenings at the time of the greatest hurry when people are rushing to get home and when children are playing ill the streets
 The factors of increasing safety include additional lights. more guides to traffic, use of safety is- lands, play spaces for children and education in accident prevention.

Young Mfr. Jackson Invites NadSe
 for A Drive

Lillian had spoken truly when she had said that young Mir. Jackson in his calls on Mary was staging as continuous a performance as Noel Neritzen used to do.' Ever since my welcoming dinner to Lillian and Marion at which Philip and Noel yeritzen, Miss Lincoln and Mir. Jack son had been guests, the handsome stranger whom l still dubbed In my thoughts "the mysterious youth with the wolf hound" had been almost a daily caller at the farmhouse.
 With charming courtesy which had a distinctly foreign flavor, he managed to convey the impression that his desire to see all the mem- bers of the family was equally great. And the gifts of bonbons, magazines and fruit which he tn- variably brought with him were i'm partially distributed. Yet there was a. subtle something in his manner to- ward Mary which set her apart. and I gave him credit for the clever ness with which he managed gradu- ally to gain the whole time and at- .ontlon of the young girl for him. self while failing In no detail of chivalrous courtesy to the rest of us
 His conquest Of Mother Graham was his greatest triumph. Evidently sine had quite forgotten that she had characterized him as ''one of gang 0, crooks" for she heamed upon him now whenever he appeared, and she vas always ready to go with him and Mary on the drives to which he scrurulously Invited some older member of our group.
 His strict inclusion Of chaperon upon every occasion when he took Mary driving puzzled me, for he had brought Miss Lincoln to our dinner with no other attendant but himself. Lillian explained it with her usual levity.

You will remember that Reddy Fox saw Farmer Browns Boy take Terror the Goshawk from the top ot the telephone pole. where he was caught in q trap. He saw Terror carried away in a bag and then Reddy raced away to tell Mrs. Reddy the news.
 Now Reddy Fox has quite as much curiosity as, Peter Rabbit or any of the other little people. The chief difference is that Reddy Is more clever in keeping his curiosi- ty from getting hfm into difficult ties. As he raced home he wondered 1T Farmer Browns Boy would keep Terror a prisoner or if he would kill him. Knowing Farmer Browns Boy as he did he felt quite sure that Terror would not be killed.
 He'll probably keep him a prisoner" said Reddv to Mrs. Reddy. Yes, sir, he'll probably shut Ter TOT up and keep him a prisoner. l hope he'll keep him where we can see him. I should just love to go over and tell him what l think of him."
 It wasn't long before Reddy and Mrs. Reddy knew just what Farmer Browns Boy had done. Sammy Jay brought the news. He has him in cage out in the barnyard." cried Sammy excitedly,
 How do you know" demanded Reddy.
 'Because I've seen him" retorted Sammy. You can sec him yourself l: you will go over there"
 Reddy rretenedcd not 10 be inter ested. Why should I care?" said he. Farmer Browns dooryard is q good place to keep away from these days. Terror can be q prison CT over there for all I care" Reddy turned away in a careless manner, as If the subject didn't interest him any longer. But down inside he was fairly itching to get over 10 Farm CT Browns dooryard.
 Reidy did keep away all that Ay But when night came Reddy head ed straight for Farmer Browns. Yes. sir, he headed straight for n certain place where he could watch Farmer Browns house and see when the lights went out Just as soon a.s the last light winked out Rcddy ran swiftly over to the door ward ty a 1t tb1t Go Hound was nowhere about. r. didn't take him half a minute 10 discover the cage in which was Terror the GoshaWk. Straight over 10 il trotted Reddy. The moonlight shoua in. At first Ecddy could soc no one Then he made out the form Of Terror, et- ting where he was sheltered by some boughs that Farmer Browns Boy had put on the top of the cage at one side. Reddy grinned.
 Hello. you robhnr," said Reddy in very unpleasant manner. How do rou like your new quarters?"
 Terror made no reply. He didn't even give Reday the satisfaction of looking al him. He acted as though Raddy were not there at all
 Perhaps this will teach you 10 stay at home where you belong" said Reddy. That is it will f you ever get 2 chance 70 get homo. You probably never will. Now that he's caught you Farmer Browns Roy probably won't let you go. Now don't you wish you had left his chickens alone? IT you had left his chick ems alone you wouldn't be here now It serves you right. I'm glad of it guess there are q lot Of pnopl" Yloi Of Y.

 Reddy didn't finish. He had turn ed his head just then 10 look over his shoulder, and there was Bowser the Hound just coming around the corner Of the cage. Reddy almost turned 8 back somcrsault In his haste to get away.
