Too many women take a discour aged view of their ugly arms and thi?jfr that there is no use trying to <dg ?anything for them. On the con ttaify, bony elbows and skinny fore taros can be much improved if a cer tain, amount of trouble is taken. .Here is the way that one woman made her arms look-not quite lik9 new, but certainly quite presentably. First she wcuid fill a basin with twater as hot as she could bear lt, ipubtlng into it some borax, a few (drops of benzoin and a handful of oatmeal. Artet' holding her arms in the twater for about two minutes she. used ? rutvber eponge on them to wake up Khe skin and just a hit of pumice on the rough skin of the elbow. . Then she would massage with a .vengeance, using a handful of cold ?ream for each arm, and paying spa tial attention to her elbows. After the treatment with hot water and oatmeal, the skin is soft and takes massage much better than if the cold cream is applied to the dry skin. A decided improvement was evident after the first few trials, and after (keeping it up regularly she was no longer ashamed to wear short sleeves (!lna? because her, arms were hope lessly thin and ugly. Pretty elbows are a rarity, even with women whose arms are fairly iwell-shaped. The skin of the elbow ls thin, and so many women have a hSblt of using their elbows as props '(hat it is small wonder that they are hard and lumpy and red-New York Mail AN OLD EDITOR ?

I have gained 25 pounds in weight, my strength has returned tenfold, my brain power has been given back to me, and that is an absolute essential, for I am an editor and have been for 35 years. "My pen shall always be ready to speak" a good word for this powerful nutritive food. I had of course often read the advertisements regarding Grape-Nuts, but never thought to ap ply the food to my own use, until, in my extremity and sickness - the thought came to me that it might fit my case. The statements in regard to the food are absolutely correct, as I have proveu in my own case.

Columbia, S. C., Special.-A very interesting decision to life insurance agents and the general insuring pub lic was handed down in the .Supreme Court in which it is held unanimously by the court that the policy-holder who allows an agent to palm off on him a policy inferior to that which the agent really agreed to give him has no remedy but to refuse to pay for it. It has been a favorite trick among a large class of insurance agents representing leading old line companies at times, it is said-to sell one kind of policy and deliver an other kind, the assured not discover ing the difference in many cases until he has paid many premiums. It re quires an expert to unravel the intri 2acies of an ordinary insurance policy or application for a policy, and the ordinary man usually takes the agent's-word for the contents. In the case on which the court has passed, that of Albert I. Prince, of Hampton county, against the Mu tual Life Insurance Company of Rome, Ga., which is just now doing x big business in>this State, the al legation is that one McKee, as an agent for the company, induced Mr. Prince to sign an application for a policy, which McKee said-would ma ture in ten years, at the end of which time the assured would get $1,000 in cash, if living, his estate to get the $1,000 in case of his death within ten years. When the policy came Prince discovered that instead of a ten-year endowment policy he had a twenty-year anuity policy, which the company's ag?nt attempted to force on him. The company even refused to return him $15.43, which he paid is a premium. In the Circuit Court Mr. Prince got judgment against the company for $500 damages, but the. Supreme Court decides that the Cir cuit judge erred in admitting testi mony as to thc oral agreement be tween Mr. Prince and the agent, hold ing that the written application was binding upon Mr. Prince without any qualifying oral agreement. The judgment is that Mr. Prince must surrender his judgment against the company it returns him his $15.43. Moral: Bc careful to sec that the policy you are after is that stipulated in the application blank. Cotton Poor in Cherokee. Gaffney, Special. - Mr. John B.

Rock Hill, Special. - Monday was thc day for inspection of departments at 'Winthrop and everything was open from the school rooms to the pumping station. A large crowd was on hand and thronged the building in all de partments. This is one of the most interesting features of Winthrop com mencement. Every one wants to s?e what the girls at the big college are taught and in some of the depart ments where the handiwork is display ed the visitor stands with open mouth and views with wonder, admiration and-secret awe the work which these, 600 Carolina lasses have been taught to do, and which they have done so well. , The departments are well worth visiting. The gymnasium is, of course not open to all. No one but ticket holders enters those sacred precints and these tickets are hard to get, be ing confined mainly to female visitors. The model school -rooms show the work of the primary, intermediate and higher grades and are very interest ing. There are specimens of work done in arithmetic and algebra, a number of charts showing the work done in drawing and manual training. The free hand cutting done by the lower grades is splendid. It is used very effectively in illustrating stories. The designs for Indian pottery, book covers, basket decorations, picture framing, calendars, portfolios, etc., i.~: indicative of splendid training. There arc also other lines of drawing exhib ited such as pose drawings, crayon sketches, studies in still life, brush and ink work, colored.crayon and wa ter color sketches. The breadth ol imagination and correctness of exec ution done by the third and fourth grades in their illustration of stories are especially good. The department of domestic science is an exceedingly popular one, for there, in addition to the exhibit to be looked at only, is Miss Mulligan with her corps of efficient and deft assistants, actuallj' dispensing tooth some and delicious dainties to the hungry throng of visitors. In this department are shown pickles, pre served fruits, jellies, chemical charts, work tables, range and accessories, in fact, all that should be found in a perfectly appointed kitchen and pantry, and adjoining this is a model dining room which is exactly what ihe name means-a model. Thus each de partment in turn shows that it is managed in thc most perfect manner. Those so fortunate as to vier the de partment were a unit in declaring everything in perfect condition, and that this famous institution may well be described as " the pride and glory of the State."

SPRING AND ITS DANGERS. How to Meet and Overcome Them. A Simple But Sure Treatment. Early Spring', with its sudden and often "violent changes of temperature; with its accompaniments of rain, dampness and fog; with its depressing absence of life-giving sunshine; it is not only in itself thc most treacherous and trying of seasons, but finds the average person in the physical condi tion least fitted to resist and overcome the influences at wopk. The rigors of Winter, jost passed, have, to most constitutions, proved a heavy drain on the vital fo^es, consuming that reserve of strength wl?cl? every one needs to meet successfully the new trials which nature has provided. To recruit this lessened strength, to reinforce the weakened constitution, which the com ing heat of Summer will put to another se vere test, should be the aim, as it is the necessary course, of all who wish health and energy. To do this-to build up and restore the waited vitality-scientific research has pro vided a sure agent-Yager's Sarsaparilla wj?h Celery. Throughout the whole range of tonics and restoratives, nothing has ever been discovered se rich in vitalizing prop erties, so potent in stimulating action, as this famous preparation. Every Spring, in thousands of homes, its use is considered necessary t? build up some member or members of the family who have fallen be low the established standards of health. It purifies the blood, corrects the nervous system, induces restful sleep, creates appe tite, aids the digestive organs, makes sound, healthy flesh and bright eyes; it renovates and invigorates the entire body. To all who need what is popularly known as a "spring medicine"-though this is also of incalculable begie?t nt all times-no more helpful words can be spoken than "Yager's Sarsaparilla with Celery." It is for sale by all druggists, 50 eta. a bottle. Made by Gilbert Bros. ? Co., Baltimore, Md. Promising is not giving, but serves to content fools.-Portugese. BABY ITCHED TERRIBLY.

PUBLISHERS ARE HARD HIT. The Loss Incurred By |he Increased Cost of Paper Will Be Felt Keen ly by Those Least Able to Bear it. In reference to the heavy advances in the cost of printing paper, the Statesville, N. C., Landmark, in iis issue of May 28, says: "Newspapers are catching it on the price of paper now. A good gracie of paper, such as the Landmark is printed on, has been selling for years at an average of 2 1-2 cents a pound. Since January 1st the Drice has ad vanced to 3 cents and just where it will stop we don't know. Some of the papers which have yearly con tracts, especially the big dailies which buy in large lots, will suffer little from the advance, but in North Caro lina, for instance, the great majority of papers, don't buy over a three months' supply at a time and many of them buy only for a month or a few weeks ahead. In short, the news papers which can afford it least are bit hardest, and the worst of it is the advance is a dead loss to them. In the mercantile, manufacturing and almost all other businesses the price to the consumer is changed as prices fluctuate and in this way the dealer can take care of himself as a rule, when prices are advanced to him. Bu' it is almost impossible for a newspaper to change an established subscription rate and almost as diffi cult to advance an advertising rate, once ii is established. The average newspaper in this State, therefore, which finds the price of material or other things advanced, simply loses that much in profits and in most cases the profits are short enough at best." 68, BUT PERFECTLY WELL.
