If cream manufacturers could n axe

as quickly make millions. Where
there is a predisposition or tendency
to grow hair the simple medium Of

good cosmetics cannot hurt the skin,
in fact, that sometimes serve As q
protection against sun and win and
thus help the skin.
BY the same token it Is not true
that powder is harmful or causes
blackheads. If powder is applied to
skin that IS not thoroughly clean
or If it is ground into the skin with .

blackheads. In that case, however,
why not fix the blame where it should
be with the faulty cleansing or the
medium used for the application
rather than with the powder itself.
Furthermore. the modern law Of
balance with respect to makeup asks
you to prepare your skin with the
proper foundation before using the
makeup and emphasizes the im-

Mother Love Has Been Proven a
Curse as Often as a Blessing.

mania for bossing things by deciding
every detail of their childrens lives.
Many a man Is failure because his
mother made him study law when
he wanted to be a grocer. Many
a girl lives an unhappy life because
her mother picked out her husband
for her and made her marry the we'll
of man she didn't even like, instead
Of the poor boy she loved.
Then there is the lazy mother who
is too no-account and shiftless to
make her children decent home. or
to take care Of either their bodies
or souls We know her. too. BY the
thousand. She lives right above us
or below us or around the corner from
U.s. Her children grow up sickly be-
cause they are always ill-nourished,
for she is too indolent to cook them
the proper food 1t Is too much
trouble to get up Of morning and
see them OF to school. so they go
or not as they please. She en-
courages them to run the streets be-
cause when they are at home their
noise interferes with her maps and
her novel reading. When they get
into bad company and 60 wrong,
she can't understand why her chill
dren turned out the way they did.
THERE Is the overfond mother
the poor blind mother who never
sees a fault in her children; the
weak. spineless- mother who hasn't
the courage nor the strength to stand
up and fight headstrons youngsters
and make them behave. We know
her, too. We see her trying to per-
suade little Sally into taking her
medicine instead Of making her do
it; letting 3-year-old Tommy talk
back to her and beat her with his tiny
fists; permitting Bobby to stun him
self on cakes when she knows it
will make him sick.
There are far more good mothers.
thank God, than bad ones. There
are millions OF mothers who love their
children wisely and well. but there
are millions Of other mothers who
sacrifice their children to their own
ease and comfort and who never love
any one but themselves. Which are

the whole Nation apple supplies were
the largest they had been In more
than 10 years.
consequently. apple prices for this
season have been low. And last month
they reached the lowest point they
have been since late October. Shop
pers may look forward to large apple
supplies for some time to come, for at
the beginning Of this year the supply
OF apples in cold storage was the
largest for which we have any record
Last years pear crop was another
one of bumper proportions. And the
supply Of pears in cold storage at the
beginning Of this year was consider

Most Of the pears in storage now
are the winter varieties, such as the
Nelis and the Anjou These winter
pears have become mofe popular in
recent yearA since more stores the
country over have facilities to store
them properly.
"All winter pears are picked when
green and hard and are kept in stor-
age. A winter pear that has been
harvested. stored and ripened prop
erly is naturally mellow, juicy and

now buy in their dried form. The

apricots. peaches and prunes pro-
duced in 1897 was substantially above
what it has been in other recent years
Last year California produced an
unusually large amount of dried
prunes. And the total amount of
prunes available for breakfast fruit
and desserts this year is the second
largest it has ever been.
Popular in winter cakes and pud-
dings are raisins. These, too. are in
the plentiful class now. For the 1897
season raisin production was the
largest in the last five years. Also
plentiful now are dried apricots and
peaches
No news to shoppers is the bountiful
supply of potatoes from last years
crop. Since last June potato prices
have been rather low. And this
January there were almost one. fourth
more potatoes on hand for market
than there were last year at the same
time.
This big potato crop is mainly q
result of the weather. Growing con-
ditions during 1887 we're unusually
favorable in most parts of the country.
And although less land went into
potato production. big yields made
the crop large one.
Dried beans, rice and sweet po-
tatoes are also abundant on the
market now. And of all three of these
crops the weather of 1897 helped to
produce large supply.
There is another way that the
weather affects our food supply
although We can't estimate the actual
influence. That is in the way
weather affects our domestic animals.
ITS a well-known fact that hens
do not lay so we'll during the long,
cold winters as they do in the shorter,
milder ones. And that cows give a
less generous supply OF milk when
they must use more of their energy to
keep themselves warm. Egg supplies
this winter have been abundant and
the prices for eggs have been lower
'hsn usual for this time of year."

lOOQS IN WlnLer Lnon IN summer. NOL'
20 many years ago the selection was
rather limited and one had to resort
to canned things to give the menu a
change.
A few years ago there were many
vegetables that were only seen on the
stands during the summer. when they
were grown in the vicinity, but that
is not 10 today, with the fast mode
of transportation, even the most
perishable haven't Z chance to spoil
en- route.
However having once lived on q
farm, there are still certain vegetables
tnat to me lose their favor when not
eaten Immediately. For instance those
who have never eaten corn within an
hour from the time 1t was picked from
the garden, have never tasted its true
flavor.
Fresh fruits and vegetables contain
certain vitamins and minerals that
are essential to our well being The
green, ieafy and yellow-colored veg
etables are especially valuable, as are
tomatoes and citrus fruits. Keep this
in mind when planning meals for the
family. and see that you give them
plenty Of these protective foods
According to the Bureau of Home
Economics Of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture, Texas had
an early freeze in November and
since then has had a season more
moist than usual. Florida hasn't
been quite SO fortunate, for that State
has had three freezes, which set back
the snap beans considerably, as we'll

Citrus fruits have profited by un-

Oranges and grapefruit are abundant
on the market. Supplies Of oranges
are larger than they have been for
any other year. Grapefruit is only
slightly less plentiful than last season,
when the crop was the largest on

That's birds-eye view of the
weather situation for fresh fruits and
vegetables now. But it's not the whole
weather story. For last years weather

Eight Ballots For
 Probate Judgeship
Continued from Page D

SculIy, Gaffney Release Votes
 When seven ballots had been taken and the delegates had voted on the eighth and final (but before they were counted Attorneys Gaff- ney and Scully addressed the con- vention and released all those who had been voting for them.
 Eighth Ballot Wins
 The move was entirely unneces- sary, however, for the eighth ballot gave MT. Healey the nomination.
 On motion of Senator Culhane the nomination was then made un- animous by the convention, and an escort of Walter Jarvis, J. Francis Smith and James Kilmartin was appointed to inform MT. Healey of his success.
 Atty Healey Speaks
 Speaking before the assemblage, MT. Healey said, Words fail me-to use the stereotyped expression as l attempt to express my deep appre- citation for the tremendous honor you have conferred on me. At the outset, value the nomination es- pecially because of the high plane on which the convention was con- ducted. I have never seen a contest that could surpass this in spirit of good fellowship and sportsmanship,' he said.
 Atty. Scully Took Chair
 Attorney Vincent Scully was called to the chair and in a few words expressed his congratulations to MT. Healey, and entreated that the Democratic party would assume a united front for the November 8 election. Let bygones be bygones, he said. In conclusion, he smilingly remarked, T wouldn't miss this ex- perience for anything"
 Senator Culha1e stated at the conclusion of the convention that the refusal of Xhe delegates to ad- journ during deadlock eliminated the bringing up of any possibility that deals were pulled on this con- vention floor"
 Chairman Mccarthy, Walter Monagan and Joseph Byrnes were appointed a committee to call the next probate convention.
