Must Have Babies To Be Beautiful Says Frenchman | By WEBB MILLER (United Press Service) Paris, Sept. 5. "To be really beautlfi’,l after girlhood, American and other women must learn that they must have babies and must nurse their own babies.” Such is the dictum of Dr. Brettmon Drench beauty specialist. "Contrary to the usual belief a woman cannot be really beautiful in middle age unless she has had ba bles,” said Brettmon. "The Venus must have had several babies —she could not have been as beautiful as statue indicate unless she hud. "The widespread custom of feeding babies by bottle Is fatal to rich ripened feminc beauty. ' The act of nursing a baby is nature's own way and acts upon certain glands and the body in such away that the whole facial expression is softened and beautified as nothing else can do it. Also the same act improves the complexion through action on the glands. "The American girl is wonderful, but I notice that too frequently the Amercian woman does not retain her beauty past girlhood. if she has babies and nurses them herself and observes the ordinary rules of health, there is no reason why she should not retain that beauty and ripen it. “A woman who has never had babies will never be really lovely in the way nature intended, no matter what she does. "I know there is if* prevalent belief among women that child-birth will ruin their figures. It is not only true if proper care is taken but on the contrary normal childbirth enhances the natural beauty of the figure. It is what nature intended and she developed the human frame with that end in view. Therefore it is ridiculous to. think otherwise. o OBITUARY — I The subject of this sketch. Miss Martha Anna M. King Hofer, daugh- ' ter of Elias and Anna King, was born in Adams county, near Monroe, Ind. ' June 15. 1899. Her parents both passed into the beyond within 19 months after her birth. The administrator soon succeeded in finding a home for the child with Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Hofer, who loved her and cared for her as their own. Her religious nature was awakened early in life. As soon as she understood she expressed a desire to be baptised. She was accordingly baptised and united with the Monroe M. E. church. Jan. 11, 1911, under the labors of J. Hanchnar. She dates her conversion however to Jan. 21. 1911. She has continued faithful in the Christian life to the time of her death. She was a good Christian girl, and lived a clean, simple life of faith. She was enabled by grace and faith to speak of her departure which she knew was near at hand,«as “going away.” Only Christians can face death so calmly as that. For her death had lost its sting, because her Savior conquered death. She passed away after a lingering illness on August 28, 1923, aged 24 years. 2 months and 13 days. She leases to mourn her: Foster parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Hofer; two sisters, 1 brother and a large circle of more distant relatives and friends. Funeral services were conducted from the Methodist Episcopal church in Monroe on Friday, August* 31, at 2 i o’clock, by her pastor, Rev. S. I. I Zechlei. The scripture lesson and j the text, and the songs were of her own selection. Interment at Decatur. Silently, surely, the shadows came creeping, Over our hearts in that solemn hour; Could we surrender the gem of our keeping, Our hearts dearest idol to deaths cruel power? Must she go in the freshness of beauty and bloom, Borne away in the mystical voyage alone? Alone? Oh. never! Our Savior hath said, I will go with thee the dark valley • through. At the sweep of the billows be not afraid, For the city of holiness is just in view, We will trust thee, our darling to his mercy alone Till we greet thee again in the heavenly home. 0 — NEW CAFETERIA AT DEPAUW Greencastle, Sept. 5. —Work is to be started at once on a new cafeteria for DePauw university to help feed the mob of hungry students this fail.

summer, contrary to expections, promises to break all records for attendance and gambling enthusiasm. Every table every afternoon and evening is filled with gamblers—and they are not all tourists from. the States, as one might think. "The French themselves are sticking this summer," one of the attendants declared to the United Press. "Many of the big hotels in Nice and Monte Carlo, which always closed during the summer season before, are

staying open this year because business Is good. We are getting a lot of Americans, but a look around the place will show you that the French are hero In droves.” A look around proved that very Admitted to the gambling halls without question when an American passport is presented, tourists find the place alive with the seekers after wealth—and most of them are French "1 don't understand It,” the Informant declared, "unless the people are

On August 29, Governor McMaster, of South Dakota, issued the following statement:— “Ata meeting with Colonel Stewart, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana and other Standard Oil Officials, held in Pierre this morning, Mr. Stewart expressed unqualifiedly the willingness of Standard Oil to comply with the wishes of the consumers of the Stale of South Dakota in so far as those wishes could be expressed and interpreted by the governor of this state. These Standard officials, although they contend that the present prices do not properly reflect the costs of production, refining and distribution, plus a reasonable profit, were willing, at my request, to do one of two things—raise the price of gasoline immediately in the State of South Dakota where it would represent a six and sixtenths cent reduction over former prices, or maintain, for the time being, sixteen cent gasoline in the State of South Dakota, using Mitchell as a base. “After due consideration, the Standard Oil officials were asked by the governor to maintain the present price of 16 cents for the time being. I wish to accept full responsibility for this situation and state that Standard Oil, by deed and act, is working in fullest co-operation with the governor of this state and therefore can in no respect be blamed for 16 cents gasoline from this date. “I realize that the independents who have viciously assailed and attacked me will raise bitter complaint against this condition. However, after due consideration and investigation, I wish to say that if the former gasoline prices of this state were excessive, the independents of this state were just as responsible for that condition and we:e just as guilty of taking excess profits as was Standard Oil. “At no time during the period which former gasoline prices prevailed did any independent of this state raise one objection or bring one complaint to this office in an effort to bring about any reduction in price but they were perfectly willing to profit to the fullest extent. “I realize that all sorts of charges will be made against me because of this action, but in view of the fact that gasoline can be purchased at various refineries ® today for approximately seven cents a gallon, it will not work injury to the public cause if the Independents are Forced for the time being to do business on a small margin of profit. There is no particular reason why the State Government should guarantee to the Independent Oil Dealers of this state, at least for the time being,fixed profits,especially in view of the fact that they were perfectly willing and were a party to take excessive profits from the people.” This clearly defines the position which the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has maintained throughout this controversy.
