To Have Perfect Skin Throughout the Summer

(From Guide to Beauty.) These days the face, neck, arms and hands need special care and attention. Flying dust and dirt, the beating sun, are severe on any skin. Their despoiling effects are best overcome by the application of pure mercolized wax. This keeps skin and pores in a cleanly condition, the complexion beautifully white and spotless. Tan freckles, blotches and roughened cuticle are actually absorbed by it. One ounce of mercolized wax, obtainable at any drug store, is sufficient to completely renovate a soiled complexion. It is used like cold cream, allowed to remain on over night, and washed off in the morning. As the skin tends to expand in warm weather, cheeks and chin sag and wrinkles form, a good astringent lotion should be used. Dissolve one ounce powdered saxolite in one-half pint of witch hazel. Bathe the face in this morning or before going out for theatre or social affairs. It is a remarkable skin tightener and wrinkle eraser. Miss Agnes Puthoff, Miss Angie Markley, Miss Elma Fudge, Mies Ethel Pruse, and Miss Edna Losier, Mr. Raymond Markley, Mr. Ralph Markley, Mr. Walter Placke, Mr. Joseph Puthoff, Mr. Joseph Moss, Mr. Will Moss, Mr. Fred Moelk, Mr. Losier Brown, Mr. Davis, Mr. John Gordon, Mr. Everett Conniekramer and Mr. Frank Anderson. A GUEST HERE. Miss Goldie Whitesell of Ohio, is a guest at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Whitesell in the Reid Apartments in South Seventh street. TO GRAND RAPIDS. Mr. Frank Druitt and Mr. William Romey have gone to Grand Rapids, Michigan and Chicago where they will visit the furniture markets. HOSTESSES THIS AFTERNOON. Miss Mary Clements and Miss Anna Nicholson entertained about thirty girls this afternoon at the home of Miss Clements in North Thirteenth street, in honor of Miss Mary Johnson's house guests.

Ths Born Parisienne, Her Moods, Her Smile and Her Charm, The Parisienne is not and never has been representative of the Frenchwoman, although she might be described as the distilled essence of nli that Is French. She is too volatile to be typical of the women of France. She is also bizarre, ind the Frenchwoman, broadly speaking, never is. She is gay and morbid kt one and the same moment. She is eternally young, yet born with the cynical wisdom of ages. She is brave to the point of folly. She is free from any taint of provincialism and in a way stands on a small pinnacle apart from the rest of womankind with a smile that has some fellowship with that of the sphinx. Her charm Is world renowned and indisputable and of a peculiar kind. She is not beautiful, and she is never merely pretty, but charm runs in tier blood, and it is as natural for her to use it as it is for the sun to phine. Everything about her is witness to this attribute, and she herself accepts it as a law written by unseen hands, unchangeable as that which rules the "orderly procession of the stars' and powerful as that which brought her into the world and will one day send her out of it.

PRISONS PREPOSTEROUS

A Social System Which Corrals the Human Entity, Shuts

Him Off from His Kind Torture No Part of BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. The official flogger has been appointed in the Georgia penitentiary. Large discretionary powers are given this official. He can whip a convict for any offense he thinks deserves It It wouldn't take a kindergartener half a minute to see the finish of the convicts. For, as said here once or twice before, no human can withstand the investiture of authority. Not even parents. That's one reason some of the latter are petty tyrants and just because children happen to have been put under their care proceed to take' on omniscience either God-like or satanic generally the latter. Apropos of child beating, by the way, the following by Ingersoll, while couched in that floridity which characterized this celebrity's speech, both spoken and written, is considerably to the point: "If there is one of you here that ever expects to whip your child again, let me ask you something. Have your photograph taken at the time and let it show your face red with vulgar anger, and the face of the little one with eyes swimming in tears, the little chin dimpled with fear, looking like a piece of water struck by a sudden cold wind. "If that little child should die, I cannot think of a sweeter way to spend an Autumn afternoon than to take that photograph and go to the cemetery, when the maples are clad in tender gold, and when the little scarlet runners are coming from the sad heart of the earth, sit down upon that mound, and look upon that photograph, and think of the flesh, now dust, that you beat. "Just think of it! I could not bear to die in the arms of a child that I had whipped. I could not bear to feel upon my lips, when they were withered with the touch of death, the kiss of one that I had struck. In yesterday's "Indianapolis Star" is recorded the way of a good kind mother with her little boy who had gone to the woods with some school companions, much older, after school hours. The child returned with both "chubby hands" full of flowers for his mother. Running up to her he said "see, mother what I got for you," or words to that effect. What did the mother do? Fell on the kid, yanked him upstairs, beat him with a leather strap and put him to bed without any supper. A hungry child who had had nothing to eat since noon and who was physically exhausted with his long tramp. The child's offense, a natural one, consisted in going off without returning home to ask his mother. Her anxiety over his absence could have been impressed on his mind with vividness in a kindly fashion and in such a manner as to cause the quality of consideration to become fixed. As it was, the injustice and unreasonableness of the punishment was the thing that stood out boldly in the child's consciousness. And after a few exhibitions of this sort the mother's influence on the child is nullified. He becomes indifferent or stubborn or contemptuous. You can't play the tyrant forever. Some day you'll be playing to empty benches and listening to the sound of your own caterwaulings. There is such a thing as being hoist by your own petard. Of your evil tempers reacting on you like a boomerang. Its the same in a prison. What have the floggings of the ages, more or less celebrated, done for humanity? How, much toward regeneration is to be accomplished as long as such barbarities in our penal institutions are permitted? Such power vested in one man or set of men, for that matter, but especially one man ends only in brutality on the one hand and rebellion and anarchy on the other. The truth is that any prison system is wrong. Not only wrong but preposterous. BSBBSBsm a Reason 99 Ltd, Battle Creek, Mich.

and Subjects Him to Christian Era.

The spectacle of one set of human beings corralling another set, shutting them up from the light of day year in, year out, subjecting them to brutalities and inhuman discipline, for the alleged purpose of benefiting society is a grim and sardonic one. If reform were its purpose and toward which it is supposedly evolved that purpose is rendered nil from its method of procedure. No reform is a reform that casts a stigma upon the reformee. The Reformatory at Jeffersonville, in its effort toward education, both classical and industrial, is a step in the right direction. But "Reformatory" is enough. The word casts a shadow. But in many of the,, prisons, or penitentiaries of this country conditions exist that are a disgrace to civilization. Russian prisons are not worse. This official flogger for example. A man who is in the class of such functionaries is not very high up in the human scale. And with power to inflict this punishment whenever he thinks it should be administered, unheard of abuses must necessarily accrue. He can take out his vicious tempers, personal prejudices, moods of the moment and falet accusations on any he is a mind to choose. Even in the event of being conscientious he cannot but be brutal. Any liuman being who strikes any other human being, save in self defense, is a brute. The devil reigns in most of us and takes a certain fiendish pleasure in seeing others writhe through our chastisements. And when one man beats anotner man, and beats him officially, the latter is going not only to "get even" with that man if he can, but he's going to get even with society at large. People who are actual criminals that is, abnormal to such an extent that they are a menace to society undoubtedly should be put under some sort of institutional restraint. But nine out of every ten men in penitentiary are not criminals. Who Said Corns? I Use "GETS-IT! It Works on a Sure, New Plan. "Glory! Come and See How GETS-IT Works!" "GETS-IT," the new corn cure on a new principle, works like the touch of a fairy's wand. No more knives, razors, files or other instruments of torture for corn-sufferers.
