ADVICE TO WOMEN. A Message From a Famous Beauty Specialist to Women Lacking In ' Energy and Vitality. L Thousands of women vainly attempt to improve their complexloft and to remove blackheads, crows’ feet and other blemishes, through the iise x of cosmetics. This trouble fails because the trouble lies far deeper than the skin. are suffering from impure and impoverished blood. This condition is in many cases due to a catarrhal condition of the whole system which finds its expression in sallow, muddy complexion, dark-clro-led eyes, general weakness of the system, and perhaps most plainly in the weeping of mucous membranes that is commonly called catarrh. In fact this whole tendency is, property speaking, catarrh. Banish this' catarrh, and the complexion will clear as If by magic, and the complexion will clear as if by magic, eyes will brighten, face become rosy and shoulders erect, Perfect beauty goes only with perfect health, and perfect health for women can only be obtained, through one certain treatment—that which will cure catarrh. Mme. Swift, New York, the famous! beauty specialist known throughout, the world and an accepted authority' on all relating thereto, states that the one positive and permanent relief for , catarrh is RexaU Mucu-Tone. Here is her letter. I "I can strongly' endorse the claims made for Rexall Mucu-Tone as a cure for systematic catarrh. Its tonic effects are remarkable. It builds up the strength and restores vitality; If women who are tired and run down; lacking in energy and vitality, will use Rexall Mucu-Tone, they will praise as I do Its strengthening and healing qualities.” Rexall Mucii-Tone works through the bloody acting thus upon the mucous cells—the congestion and inflammation of which causes local catarrh. This remedy causes poison to be expelled from the system, apd the blood is purified 'and revitalized. Thus the' natural functions of the mucous cells are restored, and the membranes are' cleansed and made strong. We know that Rexall-Mucu-Tone does relieve catarrh. We positively guarantee to re-' fund the money paid us for this rem-J edy in every case where the user is dissatisfied. It is a builder of vigor-1 ous health apd a creator-nf good com-, plexions.

PROTECTION FOR MAfL CARRIERS ' Assault of One is Punishale by Heavy . Fine and Term In Prison. ' ' While for many years eftg letter • carriers have been protected by fedi eral statute from assault when in- ’ uniform and engaged in performance t of service, rural*letter carriers have i not enjoyed such protection. A new ; law becomes effective January 1 which ; protects any carrier. In speaking the the matter, Assisti ant Postmaster General McGraw said: i “Considering the large number of . carriers employed in the rural deliv- • ery service, and the fact that many of them have to travel for miles over i lonely highways, 4>ut few cases of assault have been brought to the attention of the department in recent years. The desired protection has been secured by o section contained in the revised federal penalty code, whlcjh became effective January 1, 1910, which makes ft a violation of the law to willfully or maliciously assault any mail carrier, knowing him to be such, while engaged’ on his route in the discharge of his duties as 'carrier or to wilfully aid or assist in | any sue hassaults, under penalty of a fine of not more than |l,ooo or imI ** . prisonmen t for not more than three ■ years, or both. The enactment of this law and the .severe penalties ( Which are ..imposed will assuredly act as a deterrent, on malicious persons I inclined tp assault carrlerß and reduce - such assaults to a minimum.” . — — ..

The day was spent ih games and social conversation? " ' : St. Valentine's day is one of double significance to Mrs. Julius Haugk, that day being her birthday anniversary. Moifday marked the thirty-ninth such event in uer life, and the occasion was remembered in -a delightful way by her fiusband and daughter, Agnes, who arranged a surprise party in her . honor in the evening. 'The invited , guests all gathered at the home of a neighbor; Mrs. David Staler, and then went In a body to the Haugk- home, i where they found that lady not antici- . paring their coming, but giving them . a cordial welcome in spite of her surprise. And then jollity and cheer held sway, all kinds of games\contributing to the amusement and pleasure, as well as excellent music by the Misses l Genevieve and Germaine Coffee.

Truly up to the top notch of the. most strictly Valentine Ideals was the • party given Monday evening by ■ Misses Ruth and Marion Fledderjok- harm at their home on North Second ! street, where dainty decorations of s string after string of red hearts and ' valentines carried out the festive i idea. Os course there was a postoffice, .with a valentine for each one ■ of the twenty-twp guests, after which came a number of other games and : amusements, including an auction. A ■ delicious luncheon, served by the Misses Alice Dailey and Flora Fled- • derjohann, was an appreciative part of the entertainment. ft Hearts, hearts everywhere, with i other decorations in the season colors, greeted about twenty-five guests , Monday evening at the social given by the Queen Esthers at the home of Miss Mamie Kitson. Everything was (gay with-hearts —and all to a good purpose, too, for the guests were blindfolded and told to hunt for the hearts, the contest lying is securing the greatest number. The guests were , then given a bag full of candy in heart shape to be given as forfeits, one for every question asked and answered with yes or no; and all honors were to those who carried away the greatest number of hearts for that meant he had successfully steered clear of the “yes and nos.” The luncheon, consisting of sandwiches, pickles, cake and Coffee, was served by the Misses Mamie Kitson and June Knoff, and valentines were given as favors. A part of the evening was devoted to a program, Miss Dorothy Walters being the leader. The program consisted of the devotional, followed by papers on missionaiy topics, by the Misses Florence Meyers, DesSie Mann, Huldah Loser and June Knbff. The valentine spirit expressed everywhere with festoons of gay colored red hearts, adorning the walls, chandeliers and archways, greeted the fifty ladies who responded to invitations for a valentine party given Monday afternoon by Mrs. L. G. Ellingham and Mrs. John Heller at the Ellingham home. Os course the heart idea was carried out in many ways, the amusing little guessing contest bearing its share of the season’s spirit. hearts, pne-half of which were ladies’ pictures, and the other half bearing gentleman’s pictures, were given each guest. Partners were then selected and after five minutes’ talk with the one of her choice, the two groups of heart-bearers were sent into different rooms, where the hearts were further decorated with a written description of the partner. The hearts were then collected ’ and the descriptions were read aloud to the company, each one guessing from the word-picture, “who was who.” Mrs. Flanders identified , the greater number in this way and' ■ was rewarded with a pretty potted i blooming hyacinth. Mrs. Fred , Fruchte, at the piano, contributed to i the musical part of the entertainment , in a delightful way, and luncheon was • served by the Misses Fanny, Heller l and Winifred Ellingham, daughters -of the hostesses. The luncheon carl ried out the colors bf the season, and ' the suggestive heart-shaped favors bei ing little red aluminum hearts, adornt ing little heart-shaped cakes and i poising red cuplds holding guard over j the ice cream.

The pretty home also voiced the s St. Valentine sentiment in its deco- •» rations. Vases erf glowing red carnations in all the rooms, filled the house t . with pungent fragrance, and everywhere were strings and festoons of 5 red hearts—doorways, chandeliers, i draperies and walls were all gay with these suggestive little paper spirits. Not an the hearts were used in the 5 decoration, for a very great, many

; -were bidden away, and the guests were told’to go “arhdnting” for these. Mrs. Jphn Peterson found the greati sst number and was given a bouquet i of dark red carnations for her success. A musical guessing contest was a delightful part «f the entertainment —a story with blanks to be filled wltfi ' ' the names of musical selections, the names to be guessed as the airs were played. Partners for luncheon were found in a unique way. Each lady received a heart on which was a numThe gentlemen contented thetaselves with one large heart* divided’ into numbered sections, at which they were required to shoot. Whichever square they pierced corresponded with the number of some lady’s heart, who was to be his companion at luncheon. The luncheon was served in the dining room, which was especially beautiful In its decorations. The light from the chandeliers was softened by rosy red shades, vases of carnations were used in profusion, and the centerpiece of the table was a glowing mass of dark red carnations, with many candles of red. On each snowy napkin lay a deep red carnation as favors, and the delicious luncheon, further carried out the valentine suggestion, from the following menu: Hear-shaped sandwiches, heart-shaped beet pickles, olives, coffee, brick ice cream in club colors, littl heart-shaped, daintily frosted cakes and heart candy.
