It is stated that not a depositor iu any Baltimore bank will lose a penny by reason of the fire. Soon every cog and wheel of business wili be moving as though there had been no fire. The spirit which Baltimore is now exhibiting is a parallel to that which has rebuilt the entire South since the flames of civil war swept it down. tttt Mb. Shafroth was not the first Congressman voluntarily to give up his seat on the charge of fraud in his election. Congressman Black, of Geor gia, it will Savannah "The The South Sat the Precedent. Representative from Colorado, who has voluntarily resigned his seat in Congress because some of the votes counted for him were fraudulent, ia spoken of by some observers as without a parallel, but Congressman Black, of Georgia, did the same thing because of the mere charge ot fraud. In the latter cr.se a new election was called and Mr. Black was elected a second time. A similar course would no doubt seat Mr. Shafroth, for he has won legions of admirers by his honorable course." tttt Quite a remarkable story was sent to the Richmond Times-Dispatch re cently by a correspondent from Roxbury, Va. The correspondent says that "it may Hogs Hunt Babbit?. Here is the "Mr. Charlie Bowry, a prosperous young farmer near Quinton, has a drove if fiaeCheter hogs which have taken the place of the hound8,whose voltes have ..ced by the law. Now Mr. Bowry'a hogs go rabbit hunting every day. Ah noon a? they strike a trail a noie is made by the leader which her brood understands, when all join in doleful sounds. As soon as the rabbit is on its feet the tune is changed, and tne sound then would frighten a nervous person out of bis wits. There is no escape for the poor rabbit. The hogs are relentless when once on its scent. Often it is run into the ground where he is not safe, for every ho begins to excavate with his snout for the hidden rabbit, a-id it is always found The writer was present Mondav when the mother bog came home with a dead rabbit in its mouth, followed bv its little briiod Tl f'trf ware tquealiDg after the rabbit as if it had been an ear of corn. When at the house the rab bit was given to the pigs by the mother, and it was devoured in a minute. Mr. Bowry said that was the eighth rabbit that had been caught by the hogs in a week." ttt.t There are many reasons why all executions of capital punishment should be private. Recently a negro named Williams brutally assaulted a Mrs. Let Executions be Private. has asked that provision be made for Williams' execution to be public. The Richmond Times-Dispatch expresses surprise at such a request, and among other things says : "Long ago it was discovered that public executions were demoralizing. In England.it was the custom for persons belonging to the higher and middle ranks to be present at these exhibitions, and many persons hired windows at a considerable sum for the occasion. Even women and children attend ed, and a public execution became a public show. By and by the better class of people stopped attending, but they were still attended by people of th3 lower class, and so demoralizing did they become that in 1860 Parlia ment enacted a law which provided that all executions should take place within the precincts of a prison. This method had already been adopted in the United States, and in no civilized land to-day are executions public." The news has gone out that a man was hanged at Whlteville in this State last week and that the execution was public. Perhaps three thous and people were present. tttt . Some days ago the Morning Post remarked that the peanut crop im proves the land. The Commonwealth printed the following paragraph concerning the question : Do Peanuts Improve er The peanut crOD i8 a good one in thia part Injure Land? Qf tbe gtate but 18nt tne Morning Post off a lit tle in saying that a peanut crop improves the land? It says peanut vines make good hay.which is true ; but the taking of the vines from the land im poverishes it. We have been of the opinion that a peanut crop is very ex hausting to land." We had heard it said many times that the peanut crop injures land, but somewhat in verification of the old saying that you must go from home to hear the news, the Post gives the following reply : "Our friend is located in the heart ot the peanut section and is well qual ified to speak ot the various advantages of the crop. But we have been in formed by those who have cultivated this crop that because of certain lit tle formations on the roots and rootlets ol the vine which are the con centration of certain valuable fertilizing elments, that it is really better for improving land than common pease or cloyer. We were recently told that the most successful farmer in Bertie county improved his lands altogether by the peanuts, which not only fattened his hogs but increased the fertili ty of his soil a very large per cent. At 50 cents per bushel and above it is clalmedrthat a crop of peanuts with anything like a normal yield is more profitable per acre than 10-cent cotton. We Know it makes the best of bacon hams. It is a erop from all we have heard, that our farmers in the northeastern section can not well afford to neglect." Now, in view of the fact that it ha been modestly claimed that Scotland Neck is the largest peanut market for Spanish peanuts in the world, The Commonwealth calls upon some of the good and intelligent farmers o! this community to enlighten us on this subject for the general good, and inci dentally for the benefit of the Morning Post Do peanuts improve or injure land?

Aids to tne Complexion in Rational Outdoor Occupations. BY CHRISTINE TERHVNE HERRICK, Author of "Cradle and Nursery," "First Aid to the Young Housekeeper," "Housekeeping Made Easy," "What to Eat." "In City Tents," Etc, (Copyright, 1904. by Christine Teihuue Herrick. Was there ever a woman who did not wisn to oe gooa looking? it so. she must have been, in the childish phrase, "too good to be true." That is, unless she was already so pretty that she felt that she had nothing mom to ask of Fate. Jiven the beautiful woman must take care of her good looks. Nature may bestow these but she does not un dertake to keep them in order. Once in a rare season one finds a woman whose complexion seems to take care of itself, but she is such an exception that it is hardly worth while to bring her case into consideration. The majority of women have to wore to keep their skins In order and their efforts must be the more strenuous if. they have been careless of them in youth. When I speak of care of the com plexion I do not mean that one must devote herself too constantly to this work. Very few busy women can afford to give the time that complexion spec ialists declare essential to the preserva tion of beauty. When one sees a wo man who does all demanded of her in this line, she is not likely to have leisure for anything else. I know one such woman. In her girlhood she was the acknowledged belle of her native place. Her com plexion was like a rose leaf, her figure was exquisite.her features were regular. Having won the reputation ot a beauty she felt that she must live up to it. She has done so and it has taken all her time. At fortv-five gVe is still en gaged in preserving her charms. She nver rises until eleven-o'clock. She is most diligent in the care of her diet. The time she spends upon facial and bodily massage leaves her little for anything else. Verily, she has her re ward. Her golden tresses are plentiful and smooth, although there is a touch of something not entirely due to nature in their colouring. Her rose leaf tint of skin is still to be seen, although it may not be as fluctuating as when it was altogether home made. Her fig ure she has been able to retain by dint of exercise and she is still a beautiful woman. But has it been worth while ? There are very few women who think it so, or tbinkingso wonld . be able to give the time to achieve . the result. Too few find it feasible to follow the rule by which Patti declares she has held her youth with her so long three square meals a day, eight hours Bleep at night and three hours exercise daily in the open air. It would be a good thing if every woman could allow her self this treatment, but, it is not for those who must work in their homes or elsewhere. The benefit to the skin must be wrought from within outward, not from without alone. That is, the body must be kept in good working order by vigorous exercise and proper food and then the foundation will ba laid for a good complexion. Not all the exter nal applications in the world will help without these fundamentals. But when these are secured, there are other things to be done to preserve the com plexion in order to make the face at tractive. In the first place, the face must be kept clean. Not only by mere wash ing with water and a cloth or even by the use of soap and water, but by some thing more thorough than these.

Pre si dent The Hartman Sanitarium, T IKE A DEMON grip has crossed onr A 1 ; i - 1 country, leaving behind scores of physical wrecks. Victims of catarrh of the head, catarrh cf the throat, catarrh of the luugs, eatairh of the stomach, catarrh of the! kidneys,' catarrh of the pelvic organs, are to be counted by hundreds of thou sands. Grip is epidemic catarrh, and sows the seed of chronic catarrh within the system. This is so true that few grip sufferers are able to make a complete recovery until they have used Peruna. Never in the history of medicine has a remedy received such unqualified and universal eulogies as Peruna. A New York Alderman's Experience. Hon. Joseph A. Flinn, alderman Fifth District, writes from 104 Christopher street, New York City, as follows : 'When a pestilence overt fcfs ocr people we take precaution as a nation to preserve the citizens against the dread disease. La grippe has entered thousands of our homes this fall, and I noticed that the people who used Peruna were quick ly restored, while those who depended on doctor's prescriptions, spent weeks in recovering, leaving them weak and emaciated. 1 had a slight attack of la grippe and rvt once took Peruna, which drove the surface soil may be taken from the skin by the ordinary washing, but to get the dust from the pores a more radical course must be followed. An unguent must be selected that will soften the skin and coax the dirt from its inter stices. Too much care cannot be given to the selection of the cream or skin food or whatever mav be used for thia purpose.' Cold creams by the score may be purchased but a large propor tion of these do more harm than good, especially it applied to a delicate skin. Either they make it so tender that it chaps and scales readily, or else they promote a growth cf hair, or they coarsen the skin. But there are good cold creams and if one will take pains it is not hard to make a choice. In order to get the best result for the face, it should be cleansed at bed time. First it should be washed with a soft cloth dipped in warm water and rubbed on a good soap, or dipped in almond meal. To some skins the latter is unsuited and their owners would do well to confine themselves to a good soap. Highly scented soaps should be avoided. A sponge should not be used for the face, pleasant as is the touch of t. The best judges say it is impossi ble to keep a sponge entirely clean, whereas a cloth can be made anti-septic. When tne face has been washed and the cloth should go into all the corners and be applied again and again the face must be rinsed in warm wa ter and patted dry with a soft towel. In washing or in wiping stroke the face upwards. Now comes the cold cream. A little should be taken on the finger tips and rubbed into the skin, with outward and upward Btrokes, from the middle of the face. The rubbing should not be too hard and yet there should be enough pressure brought to produce a glow and to stimulate the ciaculation. I Each part of the face should ba treated in detail. The forehead should be stroked from the middle towards the temples and up towards the hair. The temples should be rubbed and the corners about the eyes where the first fine wrinkles display themselves should receive special attention. All around the eyes the flesh should be massaged Continued on fourth page STORIA. 1 m Kind Yon Haw Always Bought WS Vr nHLF-0F-MEXlC0 disease out of my system in a few days I . . . . and did not hinder me from pursuing my daily work. "I should like to see our Board of Health give it official recognition and have it used generally among our poor sick people in Greater New York." Joseph A. Flinn. D. L. Wallace, a charter member of the International Barber's Union, writes from 15 Western avenue, Minneapolis, Minn. : "Following a severe attack of la grippe I seemed to be affected badly all over. I suffered with a severe backache, indi gestion and numerous ills, so I could neither eat nor sleep, and 1 thought 1 would give up my work, which I could not afford to do. "One of my customers who was greatly helped by Peruna advised me to try it, and I procured a bottle the same day. I used it faithfully and felt a marked im provement. During the next two months I took five bottles, and then felt splen did. Now my head is clear, my nerves steady, I enjoy food, and rest well. Pe runa has been worth a dollar a doso to me." D. L.

Among other things, he said : "There are several classes of young men. There are thoee who do not do all their duty, there are those who pro fess to do their duty and there is a third class, far better than the other two, that do their duty and a little more.

MILLIONAIRE'S POOR STOMACH Tne worn-out stomach ot the over fed millionaire is often paraded in the public prints as a horrible example of the evils attendant on the possession of great wealth. But millionaires are not the only ones who are afflicted with bad stomachs. The proportion is far greater among the toilers. Dyspep sia and Indigestion are rampant among these people, and they suffer tar worse tortures than the millionaire unless they avail themselves of a standard medicine like Green's August Flower, which has been a favorite household remedy for all stomach troubles for over thirty-five years. August Flower rouses the torpid liver, thus creating appetite and insuring perfect digestion. It tones and vitalizes the entire system and makes life worth living, no matter what your station.
