Taking Your Best Manners and
Impulses With You on Your Vacation
IT ' -
By EIXA WHEELER WILCOX.
If you are going away with your friends
or your family for a vacation. take your
very best ; manners, your very kindest
ind sweetest Impulse with you.
There Is no benefit In a change of scene

abor If 111 temper,
lervousness, lrrl
iabllity and fault

mental domain.
All benefit which
comes to us tnJlt
come from within.
The woman who
stays at home in
happy, cheerful
itate of mind, de
lighted with smalt
pleasures and bent
on making every
body about her bet
ter for her compan
ionship, will gain
more benefit from
her vacation than one who goes touring
in motor ears, sailing In yachts or
rejourning !n great hotels, all the time
oomplalnlng ef her surroundings and her
associates and finding fault With P""pl
and things. - '. :
A man., may, far better- refuse to ge
away on a Journey than te,ffe and cast
a pall of gloom over his oempanlans br
Indulging bl most unamlable and dls
agreeable habits, "
A change of scene, and thought Is
be recommended to every human belnp
who can possibly arrange such an event
Not once, but twice each year should
svery busy worker In the physical o
mental domain of Jabor get away into
hew surroundings and among new people
r alone with nature.
The vehlole which rolls continually over
one track wears ruts. 80 one kind of
thought wears ruts In the mind, and the
mind wears ruts In the face, and pre
mature old age comes.
Women In lonely country places, who
have few dtverstons. and who go to sleep
with the chickens, and who breathe fresh
country air, and est wholesome food, age
sooner than the city woman of fashion,
because they have no variety of mental
food and dwell on a monotonous level of
unchanging views.
"Therefore, vacations and little Journeys
snd visits and trips are to be recom
mended as beauty treatments and old-age
preventives as well as cures for mental
and physical maladies.
; And they are helps to success In any
line of endeavor since they enlarge the
vision and Increase the mind's capacity.
But none ef the benefits result from
vacations If the mind la filled with dis
content, ill temper and carping crltlolsm,
A man was urged by his, wife to take
a week's vacation with her.
The man wanted to go into the country)
the wife urged ths seashore, and the man
yielded,
He went with his wife, but every mile
of the Journey was devoted to grumbling
and ill humer and every hour pf the
vasatlen was spent In regret that he had
not gone elsewhere, and when . his wife
fell HI he said be knew something of the
kind would happen, not realising that his
State of mind was one whloh would at,
tract and produce misfortune.
far kinder would It have been had he
remained at heme er quietly Insisted upon
going to the ooumry.
To yield a point to another Is not a
courtesy or a kindness unless It Is yielded
graciously, amiably and with every effort
to make the situation agreeable and
pleasant
. Two people may leave a palatial and
luxurious home and go into the discom
forts, of a small hotel room or a farm
house, and yet they may find delight and
benefits untold ef in 'the change If 'they
are good comrades, real 'friends or tendor
tows. .... ... .'.:' .. .
The delight and benefits are all results
of mental conditions an unselfish desire
to ploose your associates, happiness In
seeing others enjoy life, satisfaction In
letting and giving the best of life In
every situation.
These are the qualities which make
every vacation a success, every Journey
one of benefit, every change a pleasure
and the return home to work n, new de
light..
Husband and wives, parents and chil
dren Jog along In the home for months
without really seeing one another ; as
tbey are.
But In the close Intimacy which travel
and boardlpg house, or hotel life neces.
altates the prominent traits and char,
acterlstlcs stand forth prominently re.
venled.
Therefore, before you go away on your
vacation It is well to brush up your man
ners, to take a fresh hold of your will
power and to fertllU your affectionate
nature so that your family and your
friends snd the strangers you will, meet
may be benefited by your companionship.
And In doing this you will receive real
benefit yourself from your vacation and
return refreshed and happy and self-respecting
when the outing Is over,

Beauty Secrets of Footlight Favorites
Olive Oil ai An Aid
to the Pretty Girl
By MARJORIE BONNER,
Since you tked me what my secret
ot beauty Is, I will tell you frankly, If
I have one It Is olive oil.
I use olive oil Instead of cream and
tonics; It takes the place of food; It has
saved me doctor's bills and . many a
bsauty treatment, and I think It Is a
panacea for all the Ills that the thin
girl Is heir to.
To begin with, It was prescribed to
me by a doctor when I was afraid that
I would fade away If I got any thinner
and I have used It for every kind of
aliment, from falling hair to hangnails.
' I buy it by the can, and take It re
ligiously after each meal, ' usually on
lettuce, as I don't really like the taste
of it pure. ,
A few leaves of lettuce, fresh and
crisp, two tablespoonfuls of olive oil, and
Just a dash of lemon Juice to take away
the insipid taste, and there you have my
formula for a good complexion.
There really Isn't anything better for
this diet will clear, the skin and bring
color back into the cheeks, providing,
of course, one sticks to It, But you
have to do that to accomplish anything,
and with the olive oil treatment you
want to keep on Indefinitely.
I use olive oil on my neck to fill out
the hollows In the pepper and salt boxes,
and It has worked as well as any fat
tening cream.
I don't know why It Is, but the skin
absorbs olive oil so easily, and it seems
to be able to take up so' much more oil
than cream, and, of course, that Is the
way to nourish the skin and to build
up flesh. I
Some time ago I began to worry about
my arms which were getting very thin.
I tried the olive oil treatment on them,
with Such excellent results that a lot of
other girls followed my example, and
used the olive oil to make the arms
plump.
The treatment Is like this: Before going
to bed scrub the arms thoroughly with a
stiff brush and soap and water. Rinse
them off carefully and dry them Just a
little, enough to take the drops ot water
off while still leaving them moist Now
rub on your oil, and keep rubbing until
the skin has absorbed all that it possibly
will retain.
Wipe off whatever remains, and mas
sage the arms with as much force as you
can use, rubbing them upward, grasping
the arm with the hand and wringing it
at the same time. .
Of course you must keep this up every
night for quite a while, but it really will
do the work and no one need go about
with forearms like drumsticks. ". "
I use olive oil Instead of nail salve, and
find it works like a charm. Every day
when I am doing my nails I dip the fin
gers in olive oil to soften the cuticle, and
I leave the oil on as long as I can. In
winter time, when the skin Is very dry,
I rub the oil on at night, at the same
time that I am working" on my arms, and
I find that my finger nails have grown
much stronger with this treatment
'I believe that if your finger nails are
brittle and break off easily you could
readily cure them of that tendency by
rubbing them with olive oil, which must
nourish the nail Just a It does the rest
of the body.
If you treat your fingers in this way
and then press back the cuticle you ought
never to have hang nails at all, and your

hands should always be smooth, soft and
white.
Some people object to the smell of the
olive oil, but that can be changed by
adding a little perfume In the oil form,
oil of lavender for Instance, or oil of
lemon verbena, which I like best of all.
You can get these oils at any drug store,
and an ounce will scent a gallon of olive
oil. Of course, If you prefer, mix In a
little of your favorite perfume lnstc-J.
Olive oil Is so good for the hair that 'f
you use It constantly, you won't need any
other tonic, and your hair will be as
bright and shiny as If It had been brll
llantined and polished. ' ",.
I have a very dry skin naturally, and
my scalp Is Inclined to be dry, too. Be
fore I shampoo my hair, I simply saturate
my whole scalp with perfumed oil, rub
bing It well into the hair, and then brush
ing It down to the roots of the hair.
I let it stay In twenty-four hours If
possible, and then wash It out with tinc
ture of green soap. For ordinary use, I
take Just a few drops of oil, rub them
Into the scalp, and then brush It with a
perfectly clean brush until It Is glossy.
When my hair is done up, I have a plooe
Mann's Real Love,
Representative Mann of Illinois was In
a public park. He was poking around
In a flower bed with a cane. Up rushed
one of the bsy p-onl- who want to
be recognized by publtc men;
"Ah, Mr. Mann," he said, In sugar
tones, "It Is a beautiful day, isn't It'
And I see you are a lover of nature, too,
examining the flowers so closely."
"Nature nothing," retorted the minority
leader of the house. "I dropped a quartor
and I'm looking for It '
of velvet which I rub over it, as If It
were a brueh, and this gives an excellent
lustre and sheen.
I think there is nothing so pretty as
glofsy hair, not .matter what color It Is,
and this olive oil treatment will keep the
hair shiny, If one brushes It well every
night and shampoos It once In two
weeks.
I have another use for olive oil, which
few people have ever tried. Oil will keep
the feet In splendid condition and make
the skin so nice and soft that corns and
callouses will never be allowed to form.
But, when all Is said and done, I think
that I get the best results from the oil
taken with my food. I wonder why It
is that we don't cook more with oil, and
use so much lard or butter Instead.
Italian cooking Is delicious, and they use
quantities of oil, which gives their food a
delightful taste, never found when lard
or ordinary butter Is used. And, good
ness knows, most cooking butter hi ordi
nary. It oughtn't be called butter at alll
Olive oil, taken Internally or rubbed on
the skin, Is very good for creaking Joints
and you know that young girls have

great deal more than the aged do. Rome
times if you should hear a row of girls
bending their knees It's almost like a lot
of little firecrackers going off.
. This happens especially in winter time.
I don't know why, but it does, and olive
oil is the cure for that, too.
My beauty treatment Is not very ro
mantic, I am afraid, but I am sura that
It Is one of the best and in a small can
of pure olive oil you have the cure for
all kinds of troubles-

Has Loaned Ten Million
The great system known as the Credit
tfonelw da France had its foundation In
ths Calsse Hypothecate, established In
Parts In 1830 with capital of 30,000,000
francs. It was the original example of
what might be called agricultural bank
ing. Its purpoee was to assist farmers and
othsr owners of rciil eatate. Owing to
lack of special legislation to protect its
methods and Interests this society existed
only twenty-six years. But by a govern
ment decree of February 28, 1862, there
was really assured tb necessary legisla
tion for the successful foundation ot the
Credit Fonder, Several societies were
fst'iblJahed In as many towns, but the
new wliem- had a hard time of It until
lKH, when the real Credit Fonder de
France was established In Paris.
There was reseryed the privilege of con
trol by the government, which provided
a subsidy of 10,000,000 francs. In return
for this assistance upon which to estab
lish Its foundation the society offered to
ra'se and lend to the people 200,000,000
francs at t per cent, but thtq great amount
was not required at that time and only
a small portion of It waa lent.
With the Institution of the society the
original share capital was divided Into 60,
000 shares at 2G0 franca each, producing
1,500,000 franca
Gradually the society became stronger
by absorbing other similar organisations,
such as the Society Hypothecate and the
Credit Agricol. The capital, whloh com
menced at 12,500,000 francs, woe Increased
August 21, 1869, to 60,000,000 francs, and
again In I860 to W.OOO.OOO francs. It Is
now 200,000,000 francs, divided Into 400,000
shares.
These shares are held by 42,298 stock
holders, about 83,000 of whom own from
one to ten shares each. There are only
thS persons owning more than 100 shares
each. The nominal value of the shares
was 600 francs each, but thity are now
quoted et 860 francs. They pay annual
dividends of 82 francs, a little less than
4 per cent on the present Value. The j
surplus over and above the sinking- fund
Is about 2X0,000.000 francs.
Prom November. 1852, to December 81,
1910, the loans to the people represent an
aggregate of almost (1,000,003,000 francs and
to the communes over 4,000,000,000 franca,
making the enormous total of more than
12,000,000,000.
The ' Credit Fonder bonds are a first
mortgage loan upon all the assets of this
InHtttutlon. They ere issued for a limited
time at a fixed Income of t per cent,
payable semi-annually, and are refunded
by drawing yearly, semi-annually or quar
terly of a certain proportion of the bonds
sufficient to retire the whole Issue, at
the fixed date of maturity. In which ease
the owners; of such bonds, which am
drawn by lot recelvw back their face
value.
. In addition to the Interest payable by
coupon and the chance of the bond being
retired at par at any time, these bonds
carry a unique advantage by offering to
the holder the privilege to partake In a
lottery In which one- cannot lose the
amount paid and win a prise- lottery
with absolutely no risk, In which draw
ings occur six times a year; and any
bond drawing a prize Is retired. ,
The total bond Issue of the Credit Fon
der for a period of twenty years up to
the end of 1910 amounted to 81,140,000,000.
A sufficient safeguard et this great
aggregation of securities may be found
first in the experience of sixty years ef
unbroken success and also In the statute
of the society, covering all possible con
tlngsndes. The amount loaned Is generally 80 per
cent of the appraised valuation of the reel
estate. The very Important determination
of a fair valuation of the mortgaged prop
erty and of Its probable revenue i. ".,

Come up here, get the slxteen-tnch
