Health and Beauty
Questions about health, beauty and
the prevention of disease will be answered
in this column. When a personal
answer is desired, send your
questions, with a stamped self-addressed
envelope to Dr. Sophia Brunson,
Sumter, South Carolina. Dr.
Brunson will not diagnose or prescribe
for patients in this way. For
that you must consult your physician.
The Complexion
Beauty is impossible without .i
good complexion. A good cmplexion
is impossible without good health.
You cannot care for your body intelligently
unless you understand
something about the skin.
The perfect complexion is soft,
smooth and elastic. The coloring
differs with the individual. The skin
is a protective covering for the body,
and its health is dependent upon that
of the body, and vica versa.
The skin is made up of several
layers. The outer, which is known as
the epidermis or scarf skin, is continually
throwing off scales. In a
normal condition this process is hardly
perceptible. The lower layers of
the skin contain oil and sweat glund&,
nerves, blood vessels, and the pigment,
or coloring matter. If you take
a section of a negro's skin and study
it under a microscope, you will find
that it contains layers of black pigment
in the true or deep skin. An
Albino is lacking in pigment. That
i- why he presents such a cutious
appearance. White mice are all albinos.
The luster of the pel ft-. I -kin is
due to the proper action of the glands
and the presence of the cutaneous fat.
One of the first signs of ill health
or approaching age is observed in the
change that takes place in the skin.
As age comes on, the skin loses its
ilasticity and begins to show fine
lines and crinkles. Unless properly
treated the condition becomes rapidly
worse until it actually falls into
deep and veritable furrows.
The normal skin should not present
such an unpleasant appearance until
the subject is far. advancer! in years.
The enlightened student of life knows
that it is r,.?t conducive to happiness
to see one's reflection in the mirror
when the fa e is sallow, the cheeks
sunken, tin face and throat seamed
v ith lines, a d the skin sagging and
flahhv. Tais is especially unwel,,

Negro Confesses to
Killing of Three
Knoxvillu, Tenn., B??. 27,?Confronted
with the blood ntftlned overcoat
of fene of his victims, Theodore
Harris, 23 year old negro houseman,
today confessed to slaying/^. B*rr
clay J. Jones, his wife and their
nephew at their home here Christmas
Kve.
The negro's confession was made
less than twelve hours after he was
taken into custody for questioning.
At first he denied knowledge of the
slaying, but when confronted with
the overcoat and watch found in the
house of his wife, whom he married
yesterday, he admitted slaying the
trio "Because I got mad/'
Attorney General J. Fred Bibb,, of
Knox county, has announced that he
will ask for a special session of the
grand jury to present the confession
and other evidence and if an indictment
is returned Harris probably will
be brought to trial early in January.
The negro, who had been employed
by the physician for about a week
as houseman 'tqld officers that he
and the boy, George Lane, Jr., 13,
were playing in the cellar about I
o'clock the day before Christmas making
tgy airplanes, and that the boy
became abusive.
"He cursed me and called me i
regro," Harris said, "and I got mad.
The' boy was kneeling on the floor
holding an airplane and I picked up
a pipe and hit him over the head,
then finished him with an axe."
After killing the boy, Harris told
officers he went upstairs where Mrs.
Jones was dressing and entered her
loom.
O
"She ran for the phone, m n?trol
said, "and I knocked it down and
dragged her to the cellar and hit
her with the axe."
The negro said he threw a lump
of coal at M/s. Jones' head as she
lay on the floor bleeding from a
gash in her head. ?' *
rria> said he changed clothes
"and packed hla suit ease un*| then
made a round of the house locking
doors and putting out all lights except
one on the front porch.
"I decided I might as well kill the
doctor too," the negro said and told
of hiding in the garage for about an
hour until I)r. Jones arrived.
Harris said as Dr, Jones stepped
from his car, "I grabbed him and
hugged him and threw him down. I
hit him in the face."
After killing the physician, the
negro said he came to Knoxville and
spent the night at the home of another
negro. He said he told Gertrude
Kelly, a negress, what he had
done and she advised him to leave
town, but he " doc i tied not to and to
get married."
The following day he said he and
the woman he married went to the
court house, obtained a license and
were married. They then returned
to the home of her parents where
he was arrested early today.
I"is wife and her parents told him
to leave town, Harris said, after he
had told them that he had killed
the Jones family. Asked by officers
why he hadn't left, Harris was unable
to give any particular reason.
A short time after his confession
was announced the negro was removed
to Chattanooga for safekeeping,
although there had been no indication
of violence toward him here.
Officer# said it wa? merely a pr?. I
cautionary step. fl
The body of Or. Jones was fou'n.j I
in his parage by a relative Christ- 1
may morning and tho?? of Mr*. I
Jones and the boy w^r? found in the I
( t llar of the house. Harris was 1
missing and a search was instituted
for him. I
Late yesterday one of the city de.
tectives lesmed of the marriage li fl
cense and early today went to the
house of the woman named in the
records and found Harris.
