The enthusiastic exponent of this ad vice is Mrs. Felix Williams, of Shreve port. La., who registered at the Holland house on her way to the Thousand islands. Mrs. Williams is one of the best-known society women of the South and has been prominent in horse show exhibits. She is a sister of Mrs. Benton McMillan, wife of the well-known 'Tennessee con gressman and ex-governor of that state, who has recently announced his candi dacy for the governorship on the Demo cratic ticket. "Yes. I am an ardent advocate of farm life for women," said Mrs. Williams. “I talk it before clubs, schools, and wherever i have an opportunity. It is the best life I know of for women. "It is certain,” she continued, “tha; present industrial and educational condi tions will eventually force women into it, whether they accept the idea graciously or not. Women Crowding All Industries. “Women, both skilled and unskilled workers, are becoming more numerous applicants every year in all branches of industry and the professions. Until re cently the old life of the South remained undisturbed by the quite universal cry of woman for a career—for some work that would more fully develop her indi viduality. This is all changed now, aqd women of all classes are following the ex ample of industrial and professional ac tivity set by the women of the North. "Women are flooding the labor market In spite of the varied avenues opening to them this must necessarily be so. 1 feel I am pretty familiar with the situa tion, because of numerous young women who are constantly seeking my advice.” “I wish every young woman I talk to could be induced to take up farming. It will bring them greater returns in health, happiness, and in that delightful knowl edge of an independent life, than any thing else that I know of Removes Terror of Old Age. “Farming is the only life I know that holds no terror for women on the ques- Superfluous Hair J)x3Riraefe Removes It Quickly With Certainty and Absolute Safety. This perfected method for removing superfluous hair is the clean liest and most convenient to use. It is decidedly the surest, safest, quickest and most inexpensive depilatory known. It'is acknowledged the world over by eminent authorities as the only absolutely non-pbi sonous preparation that dissolves hair, thereby taking the vitality out of it. consequently retarding and preventing an increased growth. Remember, real danger and disfigurement lurk in the use of so called superfluous hair “cures.” The real harm does not always mani fest itself with the first few applications, but the . injury is plainly noticeable after frequent and continued use. Furthermore, after each removal, the hair grows out again more rapidly, coarser and stiffer than before, and eventually it will become so coarse that no prepara tion will be strong enough to remove it without ruining the skin. No stronger argument can be advanced that DeMiracle is the only satisfactory and reliable superfluous hair remover ever offered the pub lic than the fact that it has Stood the test of time. It was the largest selling depilatory ten years ago. and more of it has been sold each year since than the combined sales of the nostrums. The mere fact that fake-dangerous preparations are short-lived should alone be sufficient warning to avoid the use of any depilatory but that of proven merit. Don't be deceived or deluded by alluring and impossible claims of impostors. Tell any one of them that DeMiracle Chemical Company will forfeit Five Thousand Dollars if it can be proven that their so called superfluous hair “cures" ever eradicated one single growth of superfluous hair. All reliable dealers sell and recommend DeMiracle, knowing it to be the best and safest depilatory. Some unprincipled ones will tell you they can not procure it so that they may more easily influence you to purchase their own or possibly some other dangerous, worthless sub stitute under another label for a few cents more profit. To protect you from just such impositions, if your dealer will not supply you, mall us SI.OO and we will send you, all Charges paid, in plain, sealed wrapper, a SI.OO bottle of DeMiracle, and we will make, you a present of a full size jar of DeMiracle Cream. If you care to, give us the name of the dealer who tries to sell you a “just as good” imitation or substitute. Remember, DeMiraele is the only depilatory that has even been In dorsed by reputable physicians, -surgeons, dermatologists, medical jour nals. prominent magazines and newspapers.

Breeds Spirit of Equality. “That women are not marrying so read ily today is true of the South as the North,” continued Mrs. Williams. “Many young women I know earning $1,200 a year, told me they can not respect a man earning the same salary sufficiently to marry him. In farm life men and women can work together in a spirit of harmo nious equality. "After inheriting my plantation of 1.600 acres at my father’s death, I rented it to be relieved of the responsibility. That is the reason most women today are rest less and make slow progress; they are afraid to assume responsibility “After a few years I was compelled to assume the management of the cotton fields and the 200 negro employees.
