CULTIVATE A SMILE
Cultivate your smiles unceasingly,
girls. This does mot wean that you
must sit il street cars wearing an in-’
sipid grin. Not at ali! It does not even
mean that you must actually smile in
the literal sense of the werd. But your
expression can be smiling without your
lips being parted at all. If you are
thinking about pleasant occurrences
your mouth will turn up at the corners
and your eyes will sparkle, quite nat-
urally without any effort.
This will keep your face attractive
and youthful, even when you have
| passed the borders of youth itself. If
you wish to retain your beauty as long
| as possible, don’t form the habit of let-
i ting your lips droop and all your face
i muscles sag downward when your face
is in repose.
“Just stand before the Tnirrer and pull
your lines down to get the effect. Draw
‘your mouth down and scrowl a bit an 1
you will see just how ugly those droor-
ing lines can make you look. Then
smile, not artificially but naturally,
just a little around the lips, but a great
deal in the eyes, and you will see how
' pretty you cin appear.
If every woman realized how much
harm she is doing to herself when she
pits with her face muscles all relaxed
and drooping she would try the smile
cure for ugly lines. The smile can
bring about magical results-in lifting
a girl fremm the ranks of plainness to
. the Zeights of actual beauty.

DECREE OF COURT IN
CUNNINGHAM ——
The heirs of the late Elias Si
ham of Somerset must accept $6,000 Hf
less than the amount awarded them '
by the jury in their suit against the
Baltimore & CQhio Railroad company
or take the chances of a new trial,
and the defendant company must
file an acceptance within five days a:-
‘ter the plaintiffs have accepted or
the Prothonotary of Somerset coun-
ty will enter judgment against it for
the full amount of the verdict, $30,000
in accordance with the opinion re-
fusing a new trial and decre~ filed
by Judge Aaron E. Reiber, of Butler
county, at April sess’ms, 1915.
The opinion and/decree, filed last
week, occupy less than three type
written pages. After stating the case
Jurge Reiber says: “On the part of
the plaintiffs the amounts ranged from
-43,720 to $32,000, and on the part of
the defendants from $4,500 to $2,500.”
Judge Reiber says that he has the
convicition “that the opinion of wit-
nesses of both plaintiff and defendant
were more or less controlled and af-
facted by local interests. This fact,
however, will not move or justify the
court to interfere with the verdict.”
“Following our conviction we deem
it our duty to grant a new trial un-
less relieved by the action of the
parties in suit, and feel warranted in
lending our aid to avoid another trial
of this case.”
“And now, August 9, 1918, it is or-
| gered that upon plaintiff filing in the
"office of the Prothonotary a remitter
for the sum of $6,000 frorn the amount
of verdict within ten days from this
date a new trial is refused, or failing
. to do so a new trial is granted. If
written five days after filing same by
plaintiff, and notice thereof, the de
fendant shall file an acceptance theve-
of with an agreement, the judgment
to be entered in accordance herewith
shall be final and conclusive, the Pro-
thonotary is directed to enter judg-
ment upon the verdict less the sum of
6,000 with interest and costs. Upon
defendant failing to file an accept-
ance within said period a new trial is
refused and the Prothonotary is then
directed to enter judgment upon tie
verdict for the full amount thereof.”
The case grew out of the railroad
company having taken from the Cun-
ningham estate a number of acres of
land, adjoining the Somerset passen-
ger and freight, station, by right of =
eminent domain, for the yards install-
ed there two years ago.
Saturday afternoon the Ganuingham
estate filed an acceptance of the order
and decree of the court: ¥
