The Self-Reliant One of the greatest essays ever written was Em- erson’s “Self-Reliance.” Every young man and wo- man ought to read it regularly once a year. Here is a sample sentence: “To believe your own thought, to believe that . what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men—that is genius.” Most men and women follow the fashions in thoughts, convictions, creeds and politics as much as in hats and shoes. They are cheerful conformists. ~ But the great men and women—those who break new paths and change the face of their times—believe the best their minds can conceive, then fight for it. They are not afraid to be themselves. Is It Ever Right to Lie? A church at Columbus, Ind., has been disc the question: “Is lying ever justifiable?” Some members insisted that no one is ever justified in tell- ing anything but the truth, but a majority thought physicians could properly lie to patients when knowl- edge of the truth would harm them. Even the pas- tor admitted that he once lied to his mother to save her life. How is this for a definition: : “To lie is to tell an untruth to one who has the right to know the truth. That might let out the physicians and the pastor, and over some other cases that occasionally ari But it would require a nice conscience to apply it.

One can j«radually and safely remove the jold and unbeautiful cnticle from her face without pain, danger or | detention indoors. Simply use ordi- | nary mercolized wax, which can be jobtained at any drug store. Apply jit for a few nights like cold cream and wash it off each morning. The mercolide in the wax slowly absor! the half-dead outer skin, whi flakes off day by day in fine, in- visible particles. The fresh young skin underneath soon blooms forth radiantly, making the face look jyeare younger and much prettier. Employment of this process is not noticeable to others, except that your complexion improves rapidly. Of course the removal of the sur face skin in this pleasant manney takes with it all facial blemishes, jsuch as chaps, freckles, moth patches, liver spots, fine wrinkles, pimples, etc. Mercolized wax has been known for years to many so |clety women noted for their beau | Ufal and lasting complexions. —~ | Advt. | HOTEL OREGON WASHINGTON OPENING Newly furnished.
