That the skin can be made youthful in its vigor and appear ance, is no longer a question. It is a fact. The secret lies in the material used, not in the manner of use. Mas sage alone is of no value. Ordinary creams are of little merit. The fol lowing formula, to my mind. Is posi tively revolutionary In Its results, yet it is simplicity Itself. Mix this for mula yourself at home in a few mo ments and you will have a quantity of surpassing wrinkle remover which would ordinarily cost many dollars if it could be bought in the stores al ready prepared.

Isn't the condition awful? What will the end be? Think it over, my friend, and see if the subject does not deserve an ar ticle froin your hand, which may pos sibly came under the observation of some of these girls. Mothers who do not realize what they are doing and in what danger they are placing their daughters, for a mother would not deliberately send her girl to the bad — she Just does not think—that It all. and possibly you can help her to think. There are doubtless many girls in the same plight as myself, and a word from an outside disinterested person might help out matters a whole lot." A Friend In Distress The young woman who wrote the above letter was not conscious that she had written the very article she desired should be published In this column. It is quite complete as It Is, and really needs no comments. But mucli more can be said on the subject of unwise mothers. The really wise, the really unselfish, the really tender and big brained and hearted mother is an unusual being to encounter. There are mothers who love to slave for their children. They love to wait upon them, to deny themselves necessities, to suffer for them. This mother Is usually called a good, devoted mother, but she rears a brood of selfish, inconsiderable chil dren, who make bad wives and hus bands. And of course, they are un grateful and unsatisfactory sons and daughters, because only their most sel fish Instincts have been catered to. There is the mother who loves her children so devotedly that she Is jealous of all their friends, and later Is Jealous of their wives and husbands, and de stroys their happiness by being the proverbial mother-in-law. There is the disorderly mother, who neglects to teach her children the foundation of all the other virtues. Order, Heaven's first law. Confusion and Disorder Helen In the Home Lacking Order Confusion and disorder reign in the dinner, Warren's ardor was dampened. "There, that's more like It," as now two signs, "Milford House Grill" and "Cafe" shone out cheerfully ahead. "We san at least get something to j drink there." Helen Gleeful "Oh, it's an old-fashioned country hotel," exclaimed Helen gleefully, as j they went up the steps. "Just the ! kind of a place I hoped we'd find." j It was an old frame house, built on I Colonial lines, , and the wide center ;hall used as an office. ! A man, evidently the proprietor, I pleased at having guests on so rainy | a night, came from behind the desk I with a hospitable "Good evening." j "Can you give us something to eat?" I asked Warren, ramming his dripping ! umbrella into a stand by the door, i "Yes, sir, certainly," leading them jinto the dining room, which was ! empty and dark except for a single ; gas jet. Hastily he lit up 'he center j chandelier and turned to Warren with an apologetic, "It's a little late for (our regular supper, sir, but we can i give you anything you want." || "What have you got that's good?" j for Warren knew that "whatever you want" in a village hotel meant a choice of but two or three things. "Nice sirloin steak, sir, or we can broil you a chicken." Warren ordered a steak and French fried potatoes, his standard order when in doubt about the culinary re- 1 sources of a place. Helen, always interested in the at mosphere of rooms and places, was TT mnrmnrTTTYnvTWVVVVVV\r ounce of beta-quinol. Shake thor oughly, and then it will be ready to use. If you prefer, you can use im ported bay rum instead of the water and alcohol. The beta-quinol you can get at almost any drug store for not more than fifty cents. • • • MRS. O. F. L.—Most of the beautiful complexions you have admired have been developed after years of pains taking effort. But such labor and patience are no longer necessary by the use of a formula which I believe is the most wonderfuli beautifier I have ever known. • With a half-pint of hot water mix two tablespoonfuls of glycerine, and while stirring pour in one ounce of zintone, obtainable for not more than fifty cents at any drug store. When cool it makes an exquisite, satiny cream and is ready to use. This is exceedingly econom ical, and you can and must use It gen erously on face, arms, hands, neck and shoulders, every day. • • • MRS. NO-FORM lt Is a difficult matter, at best, to develop the bust, but there is only one way that de serves a trial, and that is to make a mixture of two ounces or ruetone a (sold at drug stores for not more h than one dollar), half a cup of sugar, 1 and a pint of cold water, and taking | of this two teaspooiifuls after meals 3 and at bedtime. This should do it if [| anything can. • • • Miss O. N. R.—The best soap in the f world can never cleanse tho scalp of all scurf, dead skin particles and dan druff as can eggol. This produces a wonderfully rich, creamy lather and Is unexcelled as a scalp cleanser. Dis solve a teaspoonful of eggol in half a cup of hot water for your shampoo. Enough eggol can be secured from your druggist for twenty-five cents to give over twelve exquisite shampoos. • • • DISSATISFIED I do not wonder that you are dissatisfied with the many superfluous hair removers you have used. You will remove such hairs perfectly, and without burn or irri tation by using simple sulfo solution, which dissolves the hair instead of burning it off and leaving a red snot. It is very startling in Its action. You can get simple sulfo solution for not more than one dollar at the drug store. • • » LOOKS BAD—You will go on forever using creams to get rid of pimples, and never succeed. What you need is a powerful blood cleanser. There is nothing better than a mixture of twelve ounces of sugar dissolved in a pint of water and one ounce of oar sene, taken in doses of three or four teaspoonfuls three or four ttmes a day. Get the sarsene in the original pack age. by the ounce, at the drug store. You will get rid of your pimples quickly. • « • .

The time spent in hunting for lost objects in such a home would make one con versant with all languages, If spent in study. There is the other type of mother, so orderly that no comfort Is found In her presence. When she is not picking up after her family or correcting the members of her household for their disorder, she Is lying in a darkened room with a I nervous headache, which she says is caused by her Inconsiderate family. Then there is the nagging mother, so well described by the letter given above. A type, not a mere Individual case. A numerous type. Mothers of small children are fre | quently tender, devoted, unselfish and ideal, but the mother of children who grow up and devote a distinct in dividuality, and who know how to deal with these distinct Individualities, are rare lndeeu. The mother who sees her own fea tures reflected in a small daughter is oftimes amazed when she sees that daughter growing into a type of woman wholly unlike herself; a woman with different taßtes, ideas and temperament. She does not know what to do with her; how to adapt herself to the situa tion. Deal vrlth Daughters According to Their Own Natures It Is seldom she is broad enough to realize that her child must be dealt with according to her own nature and tendencies and not according to the mother's. Just as a fern In a garden requires, different treatment and a different lo cation from a carnation or rose. Mothers should study their children as the horticulturist studies plants, and help each child to grow according to its own tendencies. It may be repeated as a final clause what has been said many, many times before in this column. The greatest need in the world today Is a school for i good, wise parentage. absorbed In "looking around." The wall paper was a cheerful flow ered red and white, the floor was covered with linoleum and a dingy red carpet. Over the mantel hung some colored coaching and hunting scenes. "Haven't any too much time —that show's supposed to begin at 8:15. Hope they'll hurry along that steak," as Warren drained his cocktail. Helen hail been making futile ef forts to "fix" ner hair, which was al most down from the constant jog gling of Warren's umbrella against her hat. As they were alone in the dining room, she now went over to the mantel mirror, but found that her pocket comb was not in her handbag. "Oh, I've lost my comb—what shall I do? I can't go to that place with my hair like this!" "Now never mind the primping— here comes the steak!" Helen went back to the table with the uncomfortable feeling a woman always has when her hair is loose and no re-thrusting of hairpins will help. "How's that?" demanded Warren, who had carved into the steak and now held up a piece with critical ap proval. "Pretty good sirloin, eh? Done enough for you?" "Oh, yes: plenty." Potatoes Good The potatoes were not the ordinary soggy "French fried," but were browned to a golden turn, smoking hot and deliciously mealy inside. "Knew we'd get good plain food here," declared Warren with satisfac tion. "Never order any fancy stuff at a place like this." Their table was by a window, and now through the rain-blurred glass elen saw the colored lights of a drug store across the street. "Dear, I know they have combs over there. When we're through can't you run over and get mej>ne?" pleadingly. "It won't take mftute." "Now we've got no time to fool. Shove your hair up under your hat. Who's going to notice you anyway?" "But I'll have to take my hat off, won't I?" () f How do I know?" with a shrug. "I've never been to one of these church shows. But I'd go anywhere to see Max try to act They've been rehearsing this dope for about six months. He's been shouting about it ever since—the 'to be or not to was' style." "To bo or not to was!" laughed Helen. "I never heard that before But I didn't know it was a Shake spearian play." "It's not. But he't got an Idea he can act, and he's studying on the side. That's the joke—he really THINKS he can act. Ha! Ha!" War ren threw back his head with his deep laugh. "Maxwell's a mighty fine fellow—but ACT! Oh, say, it's going to be rich!" The waitress came up now with solicitous Inquiry. "No, I guess that's about all we'll have time for. You can bring the check. How about tipping her''" as rhe disappeared. "Shall I risk it' She looks to me like the proprietor's wife." [ But Helen was much too worried about her hair to be concerned about the status of the waitress. Helen Seeks Keller | "Dear, I'm going to run over to that drug store for a comb. I'll be back before you get the change." i Unheeding the protest Warren : roared after me. Helen darted out i through the office and across the street. She had not waited to take the umbrella, but the rain had slack ened some. The drug clerk, who was weighing out cough drops, looked up in mild surprise as she entered with a breath less: "A comb! Any kind of a pocket comb. ' The next moment she had the comb, a cheap ten-cent one in a leatherette case, and was darting back. "Have you a dressing room here?" she asked of the waitress who was now making change from the cash | drawer in the office. ' "Yes, ma'am, right up the stairs to your left." | The first door was ajar and Helen pushed it open. But It was a bed room, a country hotel bedroom with the musty odor that comes from such a room, shut us on a rainy night. Across the hall was a sort of parlor with cheap upholstered furniture and further an was the dressing room. Before the small cracked mirror which hung over an unvarnished ta ble, she quickly took down her hair braided and colled it securely. Then with a feeling of immense relief that she could now enjoy the evening, she hurried down. | Warren, already In his overcoat, , was waiting with a savage scowl "Know what time It is? Ten after eight! You never go anywhere that you're not everlasting powdering and fixing up! It's your blamed con ! ceit. Think everybody'll be looking | at you Instead of the stage, do you?" I "Why, dear," ventured Helen un- I happily, "my hair was almost down." The proprietor, who had directed I Warren how to reach the church where the play was being given, now HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH WmOIMFtS' 70 DIG UP STREETS [Continued from First Page.] ' tion not to issue a permit to dig up the 1 streets. He said: "If they come after me to-day, I will tell them what I told them yesterday I said that if they j wanted.a permit to open the streets foi j the purpose of turning on water or for making repairs I would issue the neces- 1 sary paper but they were not willing to take a permit with those provisions at tached. No, I will not allow them to dig up the streets to turn oft the wa ter." In front of many of the homes in Camp Hill are water boxes, or plugs, which permit the water being turned off at that point without the necessity of digging up the streets. However, these boxes, in almost all cases are on the ground just Inside the pavement line and on the lots on which the houses are built. Residents of the borough say that the company will not , use the boxes because in so doing they face arrest under the trespass i laws, the boxes being on private prop- i j erty. Boxes Not Used i It is said that in front of the four i residences where water employes were : halted In their work of opening the street Monday and yesterday there are at least two of these boxes which can easily be found just inside the line of the pavement. The men did not at tempt to use the boxes In their efforts to turn 'off the supply but instead be jgan to dig in the street. Superinten dent Saunders said this morning that |he believed it wouldbe as cheap to dig lup the street and turn the water off from the main as It would be to shovel away some snow along the pavement and use the box. Residents say that trespass suits will follow if any attempt is made to use the boxes. The property owners, it is said, are made to pay for the boxes, the tap In the main and the pipe from the main to the house and some per sons are inclined to believe that If the company does succeed in getting per mission to dig up the streets, suits can be filed for tampering with the tap .which they say belongs to the property owner. Saunders to Proceed On advice of counsel, says Superin tendent Saunders, he will proceed to open the streets even though permits may not be issued. He understands that he will be arrested but he says his company is ready to have the ar rest made so that the case can be carried to court for a decision. It Is said, too, that company will ask the Cumberland county court for a writ which will give it the right to dig up the streets notwithstanding the borough highway commissioner's re fusal of a permit. Patricio Russ. president of the wa ter company, said this morning that he is sorry so much trouble has arisen but that the rates now being charged in Camp Hill are only In accordance wi{h those charged in other West Shore towns. He said the company at times is losing money by carrying wa ter to Camp Hill. Oouncilmen of the borough will meet to-morrow night and at that time it is expected the water question will be threshed out thoroughly. In dications are that the councilmen are In favor of fighting the water company at every step, for this morning they told Chief of Police Fox that they would back him in every thing he would do. May Seek Injunction It is said that late to-day the citi zens will ask the court to grant an njunctlon which will prohibit the wa ter company from opening any streets in the future unless authorized to do so. Superintendent Saunders, during a conversation, said that he did not want to .turn off the supply of the residents of the borough unless forced to do so by 'the nonpayment of bills. He said further {hat the payment at a 10-cent rate would be considered only a par tial payment of the bill rendered to property owners at the 30-cent rate wd would not keep the company from turning off the water if the balance remained unpaid. He said that during the past few days a number of pay ments were made at the 30-pent rate nnd that in the event of the Cumber land County Court finding that rate Is too high the difference between that rate and the 10-cent rate will be re funded to the property owners. Prop erty owners wanted the entire matter 'o rest until a definite conclusion was reached, but the water company wants 'he consumed water paifi for at the 30-cent rate with the refunding pro vision in the receipt. The Increase in the rates Is what has caused the trouble, which has continued for more than a year. ADVERTBiE .

At the first crossing, with a splash Helen stepped Into a puddle. "Look where you put your feet," growled Warren. Then as she glanced down at her spattered skirt she stopped short with a dismayed: "Oh!" "Now what's the matter?" Another Mishap "Oh, nothing, only I—l must have left my overshoes under the table. But it doesn't matter," hasUly, "they're old ones and these shoes are heavy." Without a word Warren switched her around, and in grim silence marched her back to the hotel. At the gate she broke away from him and ran ahead, through the office and into the dining room, where her over shoes were still under the table. "Oh, I'm so sorry," as she Joined him breathlessly. But we won't be late if we hurry, will we? These things never begin on time." Without deigning an answer, War ren strode on so fast that Helen had almost to run to keep under the um brella. One of her overshoes was loose, and, when she stopped to stamp It on, he Jerked his arm away and stalked on ahead. She caught up with him, but her overshoe was still loose, and as they crossed the street it came off In the mud. "What the devil's the matter NOW?" savagely, as she turned to look for it. "One of my overshoes came oft," falterlngly. "But we won't stop to look for It." "No, by George, we WON'T! You've done about enough to queer this even ing.
