Superfuous Hair.

Nobody need suffer the Disagreement
OF superfuous hair on the face. There
are too many ways Of getting rid of it
II you have the money and time, vol
can go to an electric-needle specialist
ana have the hairs removed by a multi
ple-needle process, which is not painful
II properly done and which removes
many hairs at time. most of them be-
ing permanently removed Some beauty
shops, however, use different kinds OF
wax or paste, which harden around the
hairs and pull them out in a quite pain
less and harmless fashion.
OF course, this is all right as a tenn
porary measure. but the little hairs un-
der the skin will continue to form and
in time grow out. Do not be worried
about this, there are always many hairs
buried deep in the follicle under the
skin. and, Of course, under normal and
healthy conditions they must grow out
again.
The best way is to make the condi-
tons less healthy-that Is, less healthy
for the new hair. Before you begin tc
pull out the hairs, cover the skin with
little full-strength peroxide of hydro.
gen. Pull out the hairs, using tweezers
to do so, which is, in my opinion, q
much more satisfactory way, and after
you've pulled out four or five hairs pal
the skin again with a small wad OF
cotton wet with the peroxide. This pre-
vents any germs getting down into the
skin through these hair follicles, and il
does something else 1t bleaches the
hair before 1t grows in, so that when II
comes up through the skin 1t will be
blonde and unnOticeable

PSYCHIC ADVENTURES OF
GREAT MEN AND WOMEN
Mime. Constans' Warning, Which Saved Great French
Minister from Being Dynamited
BY J. p. GLASS.

Something warned her to 60 slowly. She
opened the book with the utmost care,
although she could think Of no reason
for so doing.
When it was opened, she thought
that she preceived "a filthiness" about
it. She Immediately handed it over to
the chambermaid.
Take it to the ante-chamber," she
instructed. "It is something infamous
Perhaps the besta proof that Nine
Constans really had had psychic

up to this moment she had not sus-
nected with the book, and was acting
without apparent reason. But now she
became suddenly alarmed. The maid
had hardly gotten out Of sight before
she rushed after her, crying do not
open 1t; do not touch it!'
BY now her suspicious were thor
oughly awake. She sent for M. CaSsel
director of public safety, and asked him
to examine the book.
In picking it up he saw some small
whitish particles drop from 1t to the
table. Finding these to be inflamma-

It was at dinner at the observatory
Of Camille F1ammarion, the noted
French astronomer, at Juvisy, that M.
Constans told the story Of the strange
warning that came to his wife.
The warning averted the destruction
at the time he told the story, was min
lister of the interior and president Of the
Council of Ministers. His own life and
the lives Of many others might have
been lost.
Mime. Constans, had awakened that
morning with a feeling that some dis
aster was in the air, although she could
not divine what it might be.
Her later description Was that she
had felt some horrors"
She was seated in her dressing room,
having her hair dressed by her maid,
when NJ. Constans entered hurriedly.
He was then in the midst of an i'm
portant political discussion regarding
the revision of the French constitution,
which had precipitated some bitterness,
but there was no cause for alarm, al
though he had undergone some sharp
verbal attacks. His chief necessity was
haste, for he had to go to meeting
Of the council.
He had Just received his mail. In it
was a book Tossing this upon a table,
he asked Nine Constans to see what 1t
was. and departed.
The book presented a very ordinary

But with this action her gloomy feel

The interesting variation on this all
too-common domestic situation Is in the
postscript, which reads: Written in the

she would like friend husband to write.
I doubt whether he would like it or
write it. For it is one of the further
handicaps of chronic anger that 1t isn't
conducive to self-analysis.
Again and again we come upon the
two orders of nervous difficulty in be-
havior-the one a too ready discharge
of impulse into action, and the other a
too hesitant discharge. The going is
either too easy or too hard. Anger oils
and fear gums the works; anger ex-
plodes like bomb and fear f1Zzles like
a dud. Anger must be checked and feal
eased. And we tend to the one pattern
or the other, according to our nature.

KEEPING MENTALLY FIT
BY JOSEPH JAsTRow.

story is to miss the main point. We're
all subject to fear and anger, and must
learn to control both. OF the two,
anger is the more common temptation
of childhood, so that the big business
Of childhood is to get a gradual control
of anger And as we grow we learn
when we dare and when we dare not
(for fear of consequences) let ourselves
go and get as mad as we EEL like being.
That's the second important point. Elk
anime the situations and you will ind
that toward certain persons you let
yourself go and toward others you hold
back. Many an anger f1end breaks out
at home as he wouldn't dare to do at
his Office.
So there's the hope of the situation.
If a man treats his family as his own
property and thinks it proper to rule
the ranch, and has no high standards
of what the family relation should be,
and happens to have a pretty quick
temper, he'll fly off the handle when
ever he lets go, and in between may be
as soft as putty and as manageable as
go-cart. OF course, it's 10 times as
hard for some men and more women to
keep their temper under trying occa-
sions than it is for others, just as
strong drink is a terrible temptation
for some and not much to resist in
others.
You may call it bit of hysteria, or a
bit of the devil, or the old Adam, or the
original Eve, and it doesn't help mat
tiers much. That there Is a strong
hereditary factor. as this letter indi-
Gates, Is altogether likely. But that
doesn't excuse; it only sets more diff
| cult problem. Anybody who will invent
good technique to control anger
should be awarded the Nobel peace
prize.
1t would be we'll for the anger addictS
to recognize that they are victims OF a
disorder that takes the form of a temp
tation; that it is not only bad form but
bad mental hygiene to let this peace
| destroying habit get the better Of you
and ruin your disposition and Other
| peoples lives as well as your own. II
should be considered more Of a dis
grace, more of bit of childishness thar
it is to ny off the handle. Perhaps We
need a national association for the sup.
preston Of anger as much as we dc
courts of domestic relations.
After all, there is no other way t.
combat outbreaks in reasonable
grovn-up than to reason with him o.
her along these lines, while yet sym

BEAUTY CHATS BY EDNA KENT FORBES

In time this constant pulling out of
the hairs and use OF peroxide will kill
on the growth. It really isn't very much
trouble; 1t simply means watching the
skin, and when the hairs appear pulling
them out properly. You need not bother
more than once every couple of weeks.
For thinning the eyebrows use a lit
tie cold cream, as the skin is more
sensitive here.
w. M. C.-You should not have the
dark circles about your eyes nor the
bloodShot eyes, SO you do need to have
some attention from the doctor. Even
If the circles should come from poor
circulation, you should not have that,
either. Exercise in the work you are
doing helps to keep you in health, but
poor circulation" would not be helped
much merely through exercise. 1t goes
back to nerve energy and other causes,
all Of which show you need to be built
up. Your appetite will improve also
when your general condition is cared
for.
You should take some time to be out
in the air each day and sleep with your
windows open. The constant odor from
cooking food would be depressing unless
you had enough fresh air.

Everyday Law Cases
Is Deed Signed With Pencil
TnDdlid?
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

Charles Porter leased a plot Of land
to Frank Bailey. the agreement being
signed by both parties in pencil. Be-
lieving later that he had made a bad
bargain, Porter informed Bailey that as
the agreement had been signed with a
pencil it was invalid. Accordingly he
demanded that Bailey surrender the
lease and move from the premises.
Bailey refused to comply, and Porter
filed suit in ejectment. The former con-
tested the action, contending that the
lease, though signed with pencil, was
valid
Bailey's contention was upheld by the
court, who stated:
THE sutton has the erroneous view,
entertained by many laymen, that a
deed or any other legal obligation can
not be signed with a lead pencil, but
must be signed with pen and ink. There
is no authority for saying that where
the law requires contract to be in
writing that writing must be in ink.
I'm the case, however, of signature
required by law to be made by public
officer. signatures with lead pencil have
generally been held to be insufficient"

their artistic skill to designing smart,
wearable and practical sports clothes.
The new house frocks for warm
weather wear are many of them sleeve
less. like the dresses designed for warm
weather tennis; and many of them have
slightly circular haring skirts following
the lines of the new sports dresses.
Bingham is used for many of the new
house dresses, as it Is for many Of the
new sports dresses. Linen has the ad-
vantage of being easily laundered but
the disadvantage of showing wrinkles
more quickly than cotton fabrics. There
are new printed cotton voiles that need
only the quickest sort of pressing to
make them presentable after they have
been washed.
Many of the new cotton and linen
dresses this season are provided with
lightweight hats of linen or pique suit
able for country or resort wear.
This weeks circular gives a diagram
pattern for a charming little poke
bonnet. the original of which was made
to go with young girls Summer dress.
You could quite easily make one Of
these little sun hats for yourself or
