ROADS BADLY DAMAGED

The severe freezing weather, fol-
lowed by thawing weather the first
of the past week, has played havoc
with many of the State roads in this
and other sections. Bad breaks and
bulges are reported on the Sylmar,
Porters Bridge and other roads.
The frozen ground beneath the
concrete or macadam caused it to
bulge up in many places, when the
thaw broke. The State Roads Com
mission will be required to spend
many thousands of dollars making
the necessary repairs when spring
arrives.

Oio35eS NE1 SERVICE NC

One of the latest beauty develop ments for 1884 is a new powder made specially for dry and normal skin. A famous maker of cosmetics has designed powder which real- ly stays on ana prevents a shiny nose throughout the day.
 Women with oily skin never have so much trouble keeping their faces well powdered. It's the girls with dry and normal skins who have to powder and repowder.
 This new face powder comes in about dozen shades, ranging from a pale cream tone to darkest rachel. Then, of, course, there are all of the pinkish colors for blondes and fair-complexioned women. &
 See that your, powder really matches the shade of your skin. To be well powdered, one should not look powdered at all. You use 1t mainly to give your skin a smooth, well groomeG look and to keep it from getting shiny. Look ing perfectly natural is the vogue. Powder, just as any other cos metic, is used to enhance the beauty which you already have.
 Evening powders in mauve, pale green and, other exotic shades arc to be used, and used sparingly only after you have applied al your other cosmetics and powder ed with your regular daytime face powder.

the salt, and sugar in sufficiently dilute solution. (All starches or sugars, carbohydrates, are con- bohydrates, are converted into dextrose, a form of sugar, by di- gestion).
 Obviously the remedy in cases of excessive water retention is not restriction of diet or any other reduction treatment, but regulation of the salt and sugar metabolism. As a rule an actual increase in the amount of protein in the diet is advisable, and often an increase in the amount of fat, but decrease in the starches and sugars On such a regimen the pale, soft, fabby, phlegmatic, boggy body loses the excess weight and recovers natural vigor. It is not advisable to attempt to subsist on "halt-fpee" food, eX- .cept under the attendance of a phy- sician. All that is necessary is to refrain from adding salt to the food--milk, cheese, eggs. meats, fish contain salt enough. naturally.
 Even in conditions of partial starvation and under-nutrition this retention of too much water in the blodo and tissues is commonly ob- served. Remember. then, that here is one rather common form of over weight where an increase in the amount of protein and fat in the diet is the essential remedy, and decrease in the amount of starches and sugars is of secondary importance.

This committing was no easy job, he thought, watching the water glide past. He would like, for Gypsy's sake, to have a house somewhere near Blue Hills. She could see the family oftener then. Maybe she wouldn't be so lonely. She was cooped up in that apart ment all day with no one but the baby to talk to. It wasn't much fun.
 For all his haste, he missed the train he had tried to catch. It was moving out of the station just as he rushed through the sti!e. What rotten luck! There was a wait of half an hour before the next one and Gypsy would be meeting him with the car. She might think he was not coming at all. It was not his fault; @ chain of circumstances had led up to the telephone call, but it would De difficult to explain all this to Gypsy. She would not understand, might not even listen.
 He went into telephone booth and gave the number of the Mor- ell house. It would help matters if he caught Gypsy before she left for the station. She would know he was on his way.

S}R YOUR CHILDREN
 By Olive Roberts Barton

BY OLIVE BARTON

In id-winter we get into sort of seasonal doldrums. Children get restless and so do we. It is the time of year for ingrown feelings and neighborhood quarrels.
 There isn't anything like bot tled-up spirits to make us sensi- tive and therefore mean. Tommy leases Bob and walks home with his top string. You, or l call up Thomass mother and we can make more out of four feet of cotton twine than Solomon could think of in all his proverbs.
 Change of View Needed
 We know very well that next May the lady and IS" will be hobnobbing over the garden fence and exchanging seeds. That even by Easter Tommy and Bobby will be coloring eggs together. But now it's different. It's the weather. It's winte. It's ingrown dispositions. We need the windows of our souls opened up and to take a long deep breath. We need to look far off at the hills or the horizon and get our eyes off the ends of ourenoses. We need to forget top-strings adn punches -the-noSe both literally and figuratively.
 Before the depression we had Weeks" There was Smile Week" and "Spend Week. and Safety Week" and "Uplift Week" Now nobody wants even to be reminded of these things. The booster is won- dering if he can make his shoes last through another sole. The | booster needs boost. We all need it.
 When the hole fwamily has had grip, the disposition is the last to recover l write this little desert song, not in the spirit of boosting, but to show myself a way out. If you throw it in the basket I do not blame you. We get to place when anybody prattling only makes us worse.
 But I can whistle for four more paragraphs to Keep up my spirits, so here's the est of the tune,
 I'm forever talking about par ents thinking up things for their children to do, to change their whole point of view, to punch the whole flat feather pillow of exist ence into newer and better form But today something inspires me to write differently. Let the chill dren go, and be a bit selfish. Ii parents feel better they'll feel bet ter anyway.
 Having been sick, and working hard, I haven't seen much of peo- pie, even those I am tremendously fond of.
 Ood for the Disposition
 So tomorrow I'm going to open the windows and gaze at the hills by getting out the old dress, fix ing it over. and then trotting. I'm going to spend dollar or make believe jewelry. I'm sick of my old ornaments and I'm going places I've neglected every one I know And I'm going to ask people hero If I only give them pretZels. I'm going to try the "baking soda" CT my disposition and maybe the fam fly and the "TOmmy's mothers will like me bette.
 Nobody will pull me up by tho bootstraps but myself. l know that We all live in little cages. in soll' tary cells-life Is lonely thing even In family of loved ones Each mother knows herself--no body else does. She has to do wha she thinks will help her. It is ml wny-it rny not he yours. I'm go 'ng cut Pnd whnts more I'm hang Ing the latch string outside fO others.
