In fact she stuffed her mouth so full she could
hardly have closed her lips had she tried -
but she didn't try! Twice at least she opened
her mouth wide and laughed and her mouth
had food in it! That is the end of the story.
There isn't much space left to saying any
thing more about table manners except to
suggest to you yourself that if there is any
possibility that you do unpleasant things, test
yourself by asking yourself these questions:
Do you spot the tablecloth - ever? Is your
napkin always soed at the end of meal or is
it usually fresh? The only importance of this
is that, il your napkin gets smeary, then you
must get your lips smeary when you eat! 1t is
true that the smearing OF certain foods can't
be helped - corn on the cob, for example
Also it is impossible that mans moustache
shall never brush through either food or drink
There are other questions, too: Is your
place at the table reasonably neat or do you
disarrange the implements, mess the food on
your platter Do you ever hug your plate with
your left elbow? Or nail your right elbow to
the table. using your arm as lever, and spill
soup or cream over the bowl of the spoon?
Anyway, if you'd like to know whether you
are pleasant table companion or one who is
possibly the contrary, you can easily find
out by propping mirror on the table in front
of you when you eat alone and by glancing
into it from time to time, to catch your
manners thus by surprise! This is written in
all seriousness We all have tricks of manner
- perhaps we have very unpleasant ones of
which we are completely unaware At all
events. it could not do us harm to try the
mirror test - just to see!

AN APPEAL IN
BEHALF OF
CHILDREN
BY Mrs. Eva II. Jackson

School is out and the children
are roaming the streets, looking
for something to do. We are ask
ing help in their behalf Will each
citizen sacrifice and give a boy or
girl the opportunity to do some
work, either around your home or
in the office, each week, and give
them at least twenty-five cents per
week? You can afford to pay that
much for about two or three hours
work, during the week. 1t will help
you, and also help the youngster.
The little urchin in the streets
needs your attention. We do not
want you to give them money, but
to give them work, so they can
earn their money.
Please write us and let us know
how many children you are en-
ploying. Be human and give them
something to do that will be with
in their strength. They are our
future race.

allow it TO work its way through
ly into the skin. You can wear
the same pair of gloves to protect
the hands from dirt while busting
or performing other household
tasks. BE careful to wash the
gloves whenever they become soil
ed, or they will merely rub dirt in
to the skin.
Some women wear rubber gloves
when they are doing cleanig which
requires the use of soaps and
chemicals which have a tendency
to dry the hands. Although the
gloves do protect the hands, it is
not absolutely necessary to wear
them especially if you are care
full to wash the hands with a good
grade of soap afterwards. And
rubber gloves should not be left
on the hands for too long a period.
for they may have a tendency TO
make the skin unduly sensitive
and even slightly swollen, because
they sometimes restrict circula-
ton.
Another little hint that will help
you keep the complexion of your
face and arms attractive is to use
a bleaching cream or similar sub
stance on them. Regular bleaching
Of the skin will make it several
shades lighter, and more soft and
even in texture.
If you don't use regular
bleaching cream, little pure
lemon juice rubbed into the arms
and face before you retire will
work almost as well. You can eth
er squeeze out little lemon juice
and apply it to the skin with the
tips of the finger, or merely rub
the inside of the lemon rind
thoroughly over the face and arms.
In the summer, when lemon is
used frequently in iced drinks,
many women find it convenient to
rub the rind into their arms in this
manner after finishing the even
ing dishwashing.
If your skin is somewhat sensi-
tive, pure lemon juice may irri-
tate it slightly. In this case, one
of the best bleaching compounds
you can use is a mixture of'half
lemon juice and half olive oil. This
not only has the bleaching reflect,
but the oil will help keep the
skin soft and smooth. This same
mixture, using one-quarter lemon
and three-quarters oil, is a good
lotion for sunburn too. Although
it may sting slightly, it will have
a tendency to prevent further ir-
ritation.
Or, for bleaching sensitive skin
merely rub the inside of cucum.
Der rind over the skin. Cucum'
Der rind has a gentle bleaching eff
feet, and is frequently used as a
base for some Of the expensive
bleaching preparations.
Don't try these messages one or
two times and then quit If they
don't work miracles. Use them
steadily and persistently for a
week or two, and nine times out
of ten the results will be really
surprising.

It's quite difficult to keep the
skin of the hands and arms soft
and clear. Homework which keeps
our hands thrust in hot soapy
water or near hot stove has
tendency to make the skin dry,
cracked and unattractive. Dust
and dirt work their way into the
hands to make the problem even
more difficult.
But beautiful hands are such an
important asset in our appearance
that it's we'll worth while to give
them the care and attention neces-
sary to keep them attractive. The
caresses of soft, smooth fingers
are a magic element in romance.
A simple and inexpensive way
to keep the skin of your hands
from drying is to massage them
regularly with ordinary olive oil.
Many women whose hands are the
envy of thei FRIENDS make it a
point to give their hands this at
tention nearly every night before
retiring.
If there are hard, calloused
patches on the palms of your
hands, it's an excellent idea to
rub these spots gently with the
emery board you use on your nails
before rubbing in the olive oil
This permits the oil to penetrate
deeper into the skin instead of be-
ing wasted on the tough outer
layer.
It's a good idea, too, to wear q
pair of light, cloth gloves at night
to keep the oil on the hands ant

WAY CLEARED
FOR TOWNS TO
RECEIVE POWER

A decision by the Minnesota SUI
preme court has cleared the way
or Mountain Lake, Minnesota,
to complete its municipal power
and light plant and put it into
operation in spite of the oppoSi-
ton of a private power company,
according to an account given N
a public ownership magazine. This
report adds that besides putting
an end to the delay caused by an
injunction against this particular
plant, the court decision has far
reaching effects in the whole field
of public ownership.
The power company'S technical
contention that the village had
violated the state election laws
when voting in the municipal
plant was emphatically denied by
the supreme court. 1t also swept
the way clear for other towns 10
do the same thing, and is expected
to set a precedent whereby any
municipality can feel free to build
its own power plant without Sc
riouS hindrance from entrenched
utility interests, says the bulletin.
Not only did the court decision
deny the power company's petit
ton but it also scored the COM
pany as to the tactics employed
during taC campaigr 1T said:
An inspection of the record in
this case and in the aection con-
tests, made a part Of the record
in the case at bar, shows that the
plaintiff was the aggreSsor in all
the political activity surrounding
the election; that, if any law was
violated, Or if there was any i'm
proper conduct, the plaintiff power
company was guilty"
Under the doctrine of clean
hands, it would not seem that the
power company could complain of
a violation of which it itself IS
guilty, or complain of conduct
which it caused by the publication
of Unfair statements. To deny
defendants the right to answer
such statements, would place a
handicap upon Them never in
