Laura Jean Libbey9 Comment and Advice LEAP YEAR SUPERSTITIONS.

By Laura Jean Libbey. (Copyright: 1912: By Laura Jean Libbey.) Have you ever heard of leap year superstitions? Here are a few of them which every unmarried man and woman should paste In their scrapbooks: Both sexes are more susceptible to love during leap year than In any other year. Marriage during leap year Is sure to be lucky; the husband will not be fickle nor the wife extravagant The larder will be sure to be full and plenty. The man who refuses a leap year proposal will sustain a heavy business loss, which will grieve him sorely. His best friends will prove false to him.

He has incurred the anger of the god of love. He who weds during leap year will be sure to secure an amiable wife instead of a vixen. She will be a comfort not a plague to him. During leap year, to insure lifelong happiness, a man should wed a woman of the earns complexion as his own. During other years he may follow the bent of his own wishes.

He also must beware of rivals. During leap year a man must not pay serious court to any one woman If he be not in a position to wed, lest he lose all power to charm womankind ever after. During leap year no man must Judge a woman by her garments; silk may cover a heart of iron and calico cover a heart of gold. During leap year the fool's pleasure costs him dear; but the devil turns his back when he finds the door shut against him. During leap year do not participate in a double wedding; neither advise a man to go to war or to marry.

During leap year beware of chance acquaintances the flirt, the prude, or the widow. During leap year there Is an old superstition which warns men that it is unlucky to leave a woman's letter unanswered between a new moon and Its last quarter. During leap year the happiest months for marriages are September and December. During leap year every unmarried man should purchase a ring and that ring a bethrothal one. CUSS LIBBEV'S ANSWERS.

LOUISE Tou should not wear low shoes if you wish to cultivate a slen-j der ankle. High shoes are the best, though, of course, as they are neither pretty nor iasmonaoie, tney are seldom worn during the summer months, while the low pump shoe, which has every possible disadvantage from a hygienic point of view, is the fash ionable shoe.

Rub the ankles every night with alcohol. An excellent exercise for reducing the ankles is to rise slowly on the tip of the toes and down again. Go to the tip of the toe. Just as far as you can balance yourself. With a little practice ycu will be able to raise yourself higher and higher as the muscles become supple and stronger.

ADELE: The only sure cure for an oily skin Is a careful diet. Fruits, salads, and fresh vegetables must be substituted for pastry and sweets and oily meats, like pork and veal, must be tabooed. The external treatment for an oily skin demands the constant use of warm water and a flesh brush cold water is worse than useless on an oily skin. A few drops of tincture of benzoin or a little borax should be added to every basin of water used, and Instead of using soap try almond meal sifted into the water. I am sending yo.u the formula for an astringent lotion which Is excellent for an oily complexion.

LOIS: Plump hands are never as expressive as a long, slim, flexible hand, which has also more character than either the plump or the small hand, and is therefore the one to be cultivated. However, if your hands are so thin that they are absolutely scrawny, I advise you to adopt a healthful regimen which encourages flesh making. That is the sure foundation on which to build and eventually possess shapely, well covered knuckles. In addition to that, local application of cold creams and nourishing oils will encourage the thin layers of flesh. The general care of the hands must also be taken into consideration.

Strong soaps should be avoided; their action on the skin is in- lemon, tie spices In thin white cloth. Directions. Cook part two for two hours and press through colander. Cook part one, one hour and add to part two, after part two is pressed through colander. Cook altogether one hour.

Boil slowly at all times to avoid burning. Of course, water must be added to keep from drying out. After commencing to boil use only boiling water when water is added. It should be just thin enough to be dipped with a spoon. Those who prefer it not so hot may add more tomatoes or more beans after it Is made.

When the fat is cut up, run it through the sausage grinder before rendering. You will be surprised at how quickly it renders and at what little use you will have for the lard press, as the amount of cracklings will be very small compared to the old way. In this way no water Is needed to start It. When you are ready to grind sausage, sprinkle salt, pepper and sage If wanted, on or through it and grind as usual, thus doing away with the dreaded task of mixing the sausage. MR.

I am good looking, or a 'peach, as it may be termed. I am in love with a boy who Is my age. I have been going with him for nearly two years and he has asked me to marry him, and I promised to, but now another boy has stepped in whom I think more of and he also wants me to marry him. I dearly love both and I am much distressed to know which one to marry. Or had I better go on through school? My parents want me to go on through school, but I would rather get married.

S. I can't Imagine you are good looking. People who are good looking usually are not conscious of the fact. Whenever girls or men are confident of the fact that they are good looking there Is something the matter with their appearance that they are not able to recognize. Yon would better stay In school and see If you cannot acquire some sense.

"The Stars Incline, but do not Horoscope SUNDAY, JUNE 16, 1913. Dark Signs Arise In Troubled Skies. Signs of great coming troubles and disturbances now begin to ascend, betokening1 many strange and alarming happenings, as interpreted by astrology- It Is said that nations will be afflicted, and there shall be much crime and Incendiarism, besides riots and rebellions. The aspect is one often declared as threatening war. For this day the rule Is held beneflc, but quiet and neutral for the more positive and belligerent energies of mankind.

It is read as making a day of quiet, reflective tendecles, best for those who seek rest 'and peaceful recreations. The ruling sign is defined as an airy, mutable one, governing the Intellect, and favoring those whose feelings are simple and dominant, rather than materialistic folk. It is said to be an unfortunate si gn for unreliability and lack of decision. It Is also Inclined to be ill for those who are dissatisfied, discontented, querulous and unappreclatlve. Restless and Irritable people, also, should take heed in this period and govern themselves.

Conflicting energies and Impulses are likely to obtain, according to the old rules of astrology, but It Is held, also that these are to be overcome easily by directing thoughts and actions toward harmony, friendship, kindness and the generosity of opinion and thought that come from love for humanity. Art and anything that affects beauty are held to be under excellent rule. Economy and executive skill also are said to be under good signs. The day Is read as beneficial for any efforts to settle feuds or old misunderstandings, bring about amicable relations between families, and do anything for the future of children. There Is said to be a good sign for plans made today.

The time Is evil for penurious people and especially malignant for those who accumulate merely for the sake of accumulation. Persons with this blrthdate are often well endowed artistically and are capable in any efforts that concern the beauty of life. Children born today are held to be under a rule that Is powerful for executive force and dlrectlveness, but they will probably need a thorough training to teach them to avoid Irritability and a tendency to be tyrannous and conceited.

Physicians should spend more time averting diseases than curing them. It seems a cruel fate for any child to come into the world with the stamp of tuberculosis upon him or some worse disease.

What mother would condemn her offspring to any pain or trouble? Were it left to the mother alone, children would not be victims to hereditary ills, for the mother's prayers are strong enough to combat her fears. Parents owe a duty to their children that few consider. If beauty is inherited it is from the firm thought of beauty, the beautiful deeds and endeavors of their parents.

Now I find it is not so much how long you boil your fruit or vegetables, but what kind of rubbers you use. All the fruit and vegetables I have named, if you have good rubbers, you can in one day, by boiling for three hours, but if not the tops will be loose the next morning. When you have boiled the canned goods three hours, set off and let cool In tub, as any cold draft will break the jars.

I have taken them out and put them closely together on a table, covering tightly with a quilt, but you must be sure no air can strike them. Wrhen the tops are found loose the next morning, screw down tightly again and boil for one hour and It is very seldom you will lose a jar of any kind of fruit you have canned that way. To make my jelly I boll Juice down one-half and then add my sugar and it does not take so much sugar. For fruit butters I boll down thick, then add sugar and spice, place in a porcelain pan and set in oven which does away with so much stirring and gives a better flavor. I make chili and catsup just the same way, adding vinegar to the catsup when opened for use and it keeps a great deal longer.

When well aired put lids on to keep out all dirt, set away and when you want to use them rinse, put on rubbers and fill.

Kan, While there may be no perceptible harm noticeable when the first few applications of the numerous so-called superfluous hair "cures" other than causing slight skin troubles and an increased growth, real danger and disfigurement lurk in their frequent use, which, if continued, will produce eczema or other serious skin Furthermore, after each removal, the hair grows out again more rapldiy, coarser and stiffer than before and eventually it will become so coarse that no preparation will be strong enough to remove it without ruining the skin.
