ICE AND REDUCTION
A great many people say they are
afraid to reduce because it will make
them look older. They point to friends
who have lost flesh, and developed
wrinkles as a result of the loose skin
due to a course of reduction.
Quite often I'm afraid it's because the
woman who has allowed herself to grow
very stout, is simply hunting an excuse.
Reduction is strenuous, there's no deny
ing that you must work your body or
work your will power harder, to keep
from eating the forbidden dainties. But
no woman need develop wrinkles and
look Old as a result of reducing, if sue
ELKS PLAN FOR
AN OPERA HOUSE
will takea little care of hersskin during
the process.
First of all, she must massage with a
good face cream, and after that she
must use a good astringent on the face.
One is to stimulate the skin and nour
ish it, the othr is to draw It Up. I al
ways suggestiee rubs as astringent face
treatments, because I know of nothing
better and ice is usually easy to get.
Astringent baths are good, too. 'Salt
water baths aie perhaps best; these can
be hot Or cold sea bathing is always
of great benefit. Salt seems to stimu
late, cleanse and rejuvenate the skin
and is one of the most valuabla beatuy
aids. Certain herb, baths are good Or
if you can do none of these,- you can
always make your bath astringent by
adding a little tincture of benzoin to
tne water.
But -salt is cheap and easy to pro
cure, and it and ice usually are in
every household. And why pay fancy
prices ror -rancv articles when some

Project.
A $250,000 opera house on the site
of the present Elks Home on West
Trade street is the -proposal of Char
lotte Lodge, E. P. . O. IJ. Definite
plans looking toward the erection of
a theater vbuliding were taken at the
regular weekly meeting of the ' lodge
Friday - night when a committee of
seven was appointed to investigate the
financial details involved This com
mittee will report at next Friday
night's, meeting.
In their plan to construct a theater
building the Elks have the , support
of the Charlotte Chamber of Com
merce. This organisation, . it was
stated, would aid financing the pro
pcsal. Those, explaining, the plan at
Friday night's meeting said' that, the
Elks would subscribe $50,000 in capi
tal stock-and that tb.e Chamber of
Commerce would endeavor to raise
from $50,000 to $75,000. The. Elks
would give the sito of their present
home, valued at $f 4,000, as an addi
tional subscription, and the Elks Home
Corporation with the assistance of the
Chamber of Comireree would finance
trie balance through an issue of about
$150,000 in first. mortgage bonds.
In addition to the theater space
would" bo provided in the building
for .the .locals Elks home. Present
rians crovide for a theater auditorium
on the eround floor and the Elks' J
quarters on tho second and, third
floors. The structure likely would be
so built that additional stories couid
be added later.
The committee in charge of inves
tigating the financial erfd of the pro
posal are E. S. Williams, R. D. Craver,
J. A.' Yarbrough, A. J. Draper, Dr.
C. A. Bland, L. L. Hunter and Exalted
Ruler R. G. Cherry.

FLORENCE MACBETH
TO SING HERE SOON
Florence Macbeth, rapidly acquiring
fame as a foremost coloratura so
prano and formerly first alternate to
Galli-Curci in the Chicago Grand Opera
Company's list of stars, will give a
concert at the city auditorium March
j 10, under auspices of the Men's Club
' of the Second Presbyterian church.
Miss Macbeth was born in Mankato,
Minn., studied two years under Yeat
man Griffith, was taken by him to
Italy for two years' study under the
foremost master of that country and
made her initial appearance in Hol
land on the concert stage with the
Lamoureux orchestra of Paris. Her
success was immediate and from that
time on her fame began to spread
in European capitals.
The members of the club appointed
to have charge of the arrangements
for the concert are: .
Tickets: Thorna.1 C. Hayes, chair
man; W. E. Colton, Rufus Johnston,
J. V. Pomeroy. Auditorium: Query
Pharr, chairman; F. A. Sawyer, Thom
as W. Tate. Reception: Frank H.
Kennedy, chairman; S. P. Sessions.
Publicity: A.
R. M. Pound,
KTones and W.
R. Craig, chairman;
J. M. Clark,, Frank J.

you
can have yourself cured by a very sim
SubSCribe $50,000 TOWard operation I believe the only thing
necessarv is to cut a certain little Hera-
jment, and as the operatiqn is such an
neasy one It cannot be yery expensive,
though its cost would, depend, upon the
charges of your physician. You must
see an eye surgeon.
Blue Eyes From your description of
yourself, I am sure that the pimples
ana blackheads $.re caused by some in
ternal condition. You are probably con
stipated and you cannot be eating the'
right sort of food. I would advise you
to change your dist, so that you eat
mostly green vegetables and fruit for
a time, and to take three cakes of com
pressed yeast every day.
Twenty Summers Are you too
stout? If you. are it would cause you
to be short-winded when, you run; it
would also account for the very large
bust, you have. If you are too stout,
you might try reducing; and if being
short-winded bothers you. practise run
ning each day. ,
All inquiries addressed to Mis3 FoVbea
in care of the "Beauty Chats" depart
ment will be answered in thew crimu3
in their turn. This requires considerable
time, however, owing to' the great num
ber received. So if a personal or quicker
reply is desired, a stamped and self -addressed
envelope must be enclosed with
the question. The Editor.
Albany Chorus girls wild? not so
you would notice it. And editors saints?
H'm it must be said they are not.
Secretary of State John J. Lyons, from
the records of -those convicted of
crimes in New York state, nias com
piled some mighty interesting informa
tion. . . '
For instance, ln picking your friend
you should know that clerks and chauf
feurs as a . class lead the ranks of
thno who break the laws most f re-
quently. Chorus girls are more law
abiding than waitresses. Editors move
on the same plane in criminal sta
tistics as piano, movers. And. milli
ners, honest to goodness, have a bet
ter 'records than teachers. In fact
there were just as many teachers con
victed of crimes as there were law
yers, imagine that. ,

FAINTING SPELLS
Mrs. Werner Tells How They
Yield to Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Camden, N.- J. "Before my baby
was born I was run down and weak, had
pains in my back and
stomach,' was very
nervous and would
have fainting spells.
I certainly suffered
awfully with those
nervous fainting
spells. I did not
know anyone at
times and used to
scream. ; A doctor
treated ine for the
spells but did not
seem to do much
good. I had taken Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills be
fore so began taking them again. I
soon felt a change and could do my work
without pain and was cured of those
nervous spells.- Now I have a nice fat
baby girl and had an easy time at birth,
thanks to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound. Mrs. William C Werner,
1216 Van Hook St., Camden, N. J.
When wife finds her energies are
fligging, she is weak, nervous, suffers
from backache, the "blues" she should
build her system up at once by taking
that standard woman's medicine, Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable . Compound as
did Mrs. Werner.
