Skin foods and face creams and powders cannot make a woman beau tiful, because beauty lies deeper than that- it depends on health. In most "cases the basis of health and the cause of sickness can be traced to the action of the bowels. The headache, the lassitude, the allow akin, and the lusterlees eyes are nsually caused by constipation.

' The following paper was read by Mrs. W. J. Boger at a1 club meeting In Monroe recently and In response to several requests from readers was republished in The Monroe Journal. 'For several years many of the largest newspapers have been get ting out this comic supplement, and it has struck a responsive chord in the minds of the general public. Men will often spend an hour looking at the comic pictures, and the children are simply wild over the funny pa per," as they say. They verily de vour It. If any of the more thought ful grown ups warn against or prohibit it, the children promptly re sort to trickery and deceit to get hold of it. That it has a certain drawing pow er must be admitted. It certainly makes a "hit" in emphasizing the Idiosyncrasies of the race.' It is nothing more than the popularizing and distorting the idea of the car toon. The cartoon of the higher order often shows the weakness and deceit and subterfuge of men more vividly than could- be set forth in language. Within the proper limits it has a real value. The comic supplement is re ally the counterfeit of the cartoon, in that it has NOTHING in view but to distort, to appeal to the mqrbid often. The secular paper uses it not with the Idea of Instructing, but to adver tise to sell its wares the paper It self. It Is the embodiment of the idea that anything is legitimate that brings the nickel. tow tne newspapers and maga zines are looked up to as educators. and they are. They exert a powerful Influence. When they are HIGH- TONED they are for GOOD when LOW they are for EVIL. To our mind the comic supple ment comes under the latter head. 1. It Appeals to the Frivolous in Human mature. 'Now this is just what all true ed ucation and all true culture and all true thinkers aim to eradicate. Life is serious. The true aim of life is and should be to attain the best, the noblest and the highest THE IDEAL, by which one's life may become a life "worth while The world should become better by the lives we live. Our nation is too frivolous too easy-going too well satisfied with the light, unstable things already, without trying to ed ucate the coming generations to even more frivolity and mere noth ingness. These FIRST impressions from the comic supplement upon our chil dren are LASTING IMPRESSIONS These untrue, unreal things planted into their minds by the would-be leaders and educators of our land WILL bear fruit destruction per Depends Upon Health ' MRS. GERTRUDE JORDAN a trial bottle can be obtained, free of charge, by writing to Dr. W. B. Cald well. IS4 Washington, SL, MonUcel k. tlliEOtS. haps to our great nation and to im mortal souls. When the mind is 11 ed to the fullest with the "low snd grovelling" how can the high and no ble thoughts so essential to a good land perfect life find any. place for lodgment? No 'one can make tne most of life who does not look upon It . with a serious thinking, discrim lasting mind. - s - .' - ' 2. It Distorts the Weaknesses. It Is the modern beamed eye bold- I Jy seeking out .and parading the mote.' Its one idea is to distort. The beautiful symmetrical figure given to the being created just . a little lower than the angels" is drawn in all kinds of shapes and sizes, out of proportion and resembling worse looking objects than the most hideous animals, and animals are made to represent human beings often the body of the animal is crowned with a hnman bead, and vice versa all of which is a dis grace and dishonor to the human race. And then the drawings mre colored without any regard to what constitutes harmony and the blend ing and shading of one color into another, all of which tends to give and leave wrong Ideas and Impres sions upon the minds of the young at the time when the greatest care and attention should be given to the good, the true and the beautiful. The greatest authorities on the train ing of a child s mind advocate the very best pictures and paintings to be used to adorn our wans irom the very beginning of its life, and for the mother to feast upon the very best and most beautiful even before its coming into the world. 3. It Is In a Great Measure Respon sible for the Much Used Slang, the Impure English and Disrespect to Superiors so Prevalent Among the Rising Generation. It is almost the universal verdict of parents and teachers that child ren are harder to control than baa ever been known. Everywhere one sees a dlnerent attitude displayed in the child of today and the child or a few years ago. Instead of a sweet, submissive and obedient spirit, there is an Indifferent, "don't care if I do" and altogether disobedient spirit shown. It is a noticeable fact that school children are paying less and leas attention to the proper use of correct English. The queer and al most unintelligible expressions seen In the comic supplement make more lasting impressions when seen once a week, than all the untiring effort of . parents and teachers trying to train them properly day alter day. week after week, and month after month. In these busy days so filled with cares, pleasures, spending and get ting "the almighty dollar," wno stops to think seriously and sober ly of the consequences to be reaped in the future? Who will be respon sible? McAdenville Matters. Correspondence of The Gazette. M 'ADEN VILLE, April 12. Our public school closed March 31st but, through the kindness of the Junior Order and Mr. R. R.

Brittian, Secretary TODAY'S POEM THE LURE. Knickerbocker Press. There's a spot that I'm aching to see. And a breeze that I'm burning to feel. And a sound that is music to me, The click and the whirr of a reel. There's a dream that I'm eager to dream, There's a fish that I'm yearning to Play Off there at the bend of a stream; Where a big one I hooked got away. I've tired of the crowd and the throngs, I've wearied of banquets and shows, I'm sick of the phonograph songs. And all that our city life knows. I want to lie all that I seem. To be just myself for a day, I want to be out on the stream Where that big one last year got away. I want to depart from my books. And the sermons that ministers preach. And learn from the trees and the brooks The things only nature can teach. I'm eager to hear the gulls scream. And try to make out what they say - Off there at that swift flowing stream ; Where one that 1 hooked got away. I want to get free of the smell, And the din of the money mad town, And the smallness of people, who dwell In cities of size and renown. There's a dream that I'm eager to dream. There's a fish that I'm yearning to Play, Where one that I hooked got away.
