HEALTH OF THE SKIN
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene
by Samuel O. Dixon. M. D.. LL.
D.. Commissioner of Health
«■ f
Few people pay sufficient attention to
the care of the skin. A certain num
ber of both sexes devote no little time
to the care of that portion which ap
pears above the»r collars but few un
derstand the real importance of v the
functions of the skin.
We breathe through the skin. A
considerable volume of oxygen is ab
sorbed by the body in this way. Cer
tain poisonous substance* arc disposed
of through the pores of the skin. These
|>oisons are eliminate"! through the
glands in the skin passiug off in per
spiration.
The skin is one of the body's ther
mostats that automatically regulate its
temperature. If the heat grows exces
sive the blood vessels in the skin di
late and permit the circulation of an
extraordinary amount of biood near the
surface. This permits the radiation of
the heat from the blood and the cor
responding cooling of the body and
stimulates a more active combustion.
When the bok.lv is exposed to cold if
the skin is properly performing it->
functions it will contract and drive
the blood away from the skiu to concen
trate its warmth uear the vital organs.
The ends of the nerves which give
us our sense of touch are located in the
skin. This sensitiveness is for the
continual protection of the body. In
order that these various functions may
be properly carried out it is essential
that the skin be well cared for at all
times. If the pores are not kept thor
oughly elean, the poisonous excretions
instead of being expelled are reab
sorbed by the blood. Such a con lit ion
also prevents- the skin from absorbing
oxygen as it should do when properly
performing its functions. Then too,
there is the question of beauty. A
clean, healthy, well groomed skin is
genuinely attractive.
Soap and water should be vigorously
applied but no soap left on the skin
alter bathing. Sleep and exercise in
fresu ;:ir combined with good tood and
plenty of water are better than all the
skiu focAie and beautitiers and their
consistent and regular use will add ma
terially to the general bodily health and
well being.

MAY REOPEN COAL MINE
Lehigh Company Said to Be Preparing
to Work Big Deposits
Hazleton, Pa., Jan. 11.—Silver
Brook mines, covering an area of 7%
square miles and containing manv veins
of coal 22 feet thick, which have never
been touched, may be reopened bv the
Lehigh Valley Coal Companv, according
to statements made at Hazleton vester
day. The property, which was "leased
to the J. S. A\ entz Coal Companv, of
Philadelphia, was abandoned and filled
with water in 1906, when the Lehigh
Valley Coal Company declined to renew
the leases and preferred to hold the
fuel until it needed it.
Mining experts say that the Went?
interests merely nibbled at the immense
coal deposits, and the resumption of
operations means the employment of
1.500 men and a big boom to Hazleton
and McAdoo.

"TWIN OF FUN
Two Big Audiences See Farce Oomedy
That Affords Genuine Humor In
the Majestic Theatre
Salisbury Field and Margaret IMayo
gave Harrieburg a very delightful bit
of farce comedy in "Twin Beds"
which appeared at the Majestic Satur
day afternoon and eveniug. There is
plenty of clean fun from beginning to
end, but the first art undoubtedly con
tains more of pure humor than even
the third, for the last depends for its
laughter-producing elements upou _the
drunken antics of the tenor and the
absurd situations arising from the sim
ilarity in arrangements and furnish
ings of TWO New York flats.
The tirst act. however, is pure, spon
taneous humor. There are only seven
characters in the little play but each
one is almost perfect in its way, Mar
garet Boland. as "'Blanche Hawkins."
and Howlan,! B. Lee as her husband, di
vide honors with the Italian tenor, his
militant wife and with (Jeorgie Brew
ilendum, who is inimitable as ' 1 Xorah,"
tie maid.
The mistake of the teuor who enters
tibe wrong flat while drunk and even
tually hides in a clothes basket, sup
plies the motif of the comedy. Marion
Lord as ''Signora Monti," holds the
center of the stage whenever she if
visible, and keeps the audience in one
continuous gale of laughter.
I'here is nothing deep or pretentious
about the play, but it has real human
interest, and certainly it has a better
mission in the world'than the " prob
lem " play which, it is to lie hoped,
will soon disappear forever. "Twin
Beds affords an evening of genuine
laughter, with 110 after regrets.
The size of the audiences on Satur
day »'howei that Harris>burg appreci
ates a really good thing and will pa
tronize it when given the opportunity.

MARSHALL K WILDER DIES
Widely Known Humorist and Author
Who Had Entertained European
Royalty Expires at St. Paul
<St. Paul, Jan. 11.—'Marshall P.
Wilder, author and humorist, died at
a hotel early yesterday of heart dis
ease, complicated by a slight attack of
pneumonia. Mr. Wilder had been in
poor health for the last two weeks,
and on Friday was forced to cancel his
engagement at a vaudeville theatre. The
body was sent to relatives in New
York.
Since the death of his wife more
than a year ago, Mr. Wilder had been
visibly depressed, his friends said, and
this had affected his health. Two weeks
ago he contracted a cold, which de
veloped into pneumonia Saturday. eHe
was much improved Saturday* night,
but early yesterday collapsed. *
"Marshall P. Wilder was one of tho
most widely known entertainers of his
time. He appeared before European roy
alty and was known to theatregoers of
many countries.
'Born in Geneva, X. V., on Septem
ber 19, 1859, his education was limited
•because of a physical disability. While
a file boy in the employ of Bradstrcet's
Commercial Agency iu New York he be
gan to entertain, sometimes workiug for
fifty cents a night.
i His fame preceding him, Mr. Wilder
' took up his work iu earnest and in
1883 he went to London, where he
appeared before the Prince of Wales
! (late King Edward VII). He was seen
in London annually from ISS3 to 1899.
He had been in vaudeville since that
; time. Mr. Wilder toured the world in
1904 and 1905.
He was the author of "People I've
j Smiled With." "The Sunny Side of
j the Street," "Smiling Around the
; World," and was editor of "The Tcu
Books of the iMerrymakers." He made
: his home in Atlantic City.

fWARffS KEEP
BOWELS REGULAR
AND CURE COLDS
No Headache, Sour
Stomach, Bad Cold or
Constipation by
Morning
Get, a 10-ccnt box.
Colds —whether iu the head or any
part of the body—are quickly overcome
by urging the liver to action and keep
! ing the bowels free of poison. Take Cas
caretw to-night and you will wake up
with a clear head and no doubt you will
wonder what became of your cold. < as
carets work while you sleep; they
cleanse and regulate the stomach,removo
the sour, undigested food and foul
gases; take tho excess bile from the
liver and carry ofl' the constipated waste
matter and poison from the bowels.
Remember the quickest way to get
rid of colds is one or two Cascaretw at
night to cleanse the system, (let a 10-
cent box at any drug store. Don't for
get the children. Thev relish this Caudy
Cathartic, and it is often all that is
needed to drive a cold from their little
systems.—Adv.
