travellers tell you that this information
was given them in person. In order to
bring this to a head, let us get to-
gether and figure out route for the
Iowa, Nebraska and Illinois tourists to
this country so that they will not be
compelled to take the misinformation
and other hazards in passing through
the Twin Cities.

Twin City writer's who know so little
and write SO much about the forest
lire situation in Northern Minnesota
are only succeeding in frightening the
tourists away. Their latest story that
10000 acres of timber are on fire in
Lake of the Woods county is bunk.
Due to the dry weather the situation
calls for care on the part of the
farmers and campers, but to say that
the whole county is on fire is pure
story telling.

The Added Years.

Some women grow old at % and
some look like young girls until they
are almost 40. It's temperament, It's
health. it's nerves, it's the way they
live. it's probably even heredity. Yet
whatever it is, there comes day In
every woman's life when she suddenly
realizes that 1t will take certain
amount of effort thereafter TO keep ner
youth.
No one In a few words can tell her
how to do this, but a few hints might
be useful. If she is beginning to grow
old, she must not work so hard. This
is easter to say than to do, but there
are always ways of saving work. as even
the busiest woman knows. She must
rest more than she has been doing; II
she cannot sleep late in the morning
she must go to bed earlier at night,
even though the half-hour or so extra
comes off the days recreation.
She must take particularly good care
Of her teeth Young teeth will stand
a good deal of abuse, but teeth that are
becoming middle aged demand the BEST
of care. A young mouth is filled with
sound teeth, but where there are cav
tiles and shriveled gums the lips droop

trils to the chin. The woman must take
particularly good care Of her COM
plexion.
A young girl can allow her skin to
become dry. but no woman over IS dare
permit such a condition except for a
few days at a time. She should keep
on hand jar Of pure, flesh building
cold cream. or small bottle of first
quality olive oil, or first quality almond
oil, and use these freely whenever the
skin is dry.
She should use a hair tonic, even
though her hair is healthy: 1t is impos-
sible to treat the hair too well, and
she may put off by many years the time
when her hair becomes frankly gray.
She should take specially good care
of her hands and nails and Of her neck.
Nails that are kept well manicured are
much less likely to develop ridges, and
hands that are occasionally rubbed with
some nourishing oil will not so often
become middle aged.

Talks to Women About Money
BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN.

There are two forms of guarantees.
One is given by store and the other
by manufacturer. In most instances,
reliable stores will not pass the buck. "
If they have sold any article with a
guarantee they will render, satisfaction
first. and then make their own adjust
ment.
In buying or selling anything, from
a stock or bond to your home or car,
remember that the ability and willing
ness of the buyer to pay or the seller
TO deliver what he has sold, Is as inn
portant as the price or terms of sale.
1t does not pay to have dealing with
dishonest persons, however advantageous
transaction may appear on the
surface. This applies as much in the
butcher shop, vegetable market and
fruit shop as 1t does in the department
store or speciality shop. Any one whose
dealings are known to be sharp or
dubious does not deserve your custom
It does matter with whom you do
business and it is unwise to wait for a
costly experience to prove the point.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-03-15

1t matters greatly with whom you do
business whether your business IS your
home, or of commercial sort.
Just as it is of no use to buy a
bargain in a roast If the butcher sends
home cut you did not select, so there
is no use in striking commercial bar
gain If the other fellow" does not live
up to his or her obligations.
In shopping, many women VIII recon
hotter in the by ways of town TRYING TO
discover some esoteric bargain. Finally
one may be apparently located. All TOO
late they discover that the shop IS not
responsible, and has no interest after
the sale has been made.
Stock brokers are thought by some
women to be mercenary creatures VINO
think only of buying and selling. There
are all sorts of brokers, and the repu-
table and conscientious ones are anxious
to safeguard your money and insure the
quality of your investments. They WIZ

Camphorated oil is a splendid re-
ducing medium and will prove ef-
fectual when used immediately after
exercising. This oil should be slight
ly heated, making penetration more
complete; then, using an upward
movement, press the fingers firmly
against the flesh and run them
upward well past the joint Of the
knee. If by chance your sudden
burst of exercise has caused the leg
muscles to feel stiff and tired this
oil will soothe and ease them for the
next exercising routine, as well as
serve to counteract after soreness.
For the under-developed or bony
knees warm olive oil should be used
in the same way as the camphorated
oil, and it will serve to soothe the
muscles and nerves, at the same
time nourishing and building up the
tissues and muscles around the
knees into beautiful feminine con-
tours.
If you wish to hasten the reducing
