EVERY WOMAN
Should be Beautiful

So says Jenness Miller, the famous
ecturer and writer on dress reform
and physical culture, and celebrated
writer in a medical journal says ::
"Face powders and toilet preparations
have legitimate use in the toilette of
every woman and use properly made
need not, any more than the proper
use of a perfume, displease any one,
while it can not be denied that they
add to the personal beauty and at
tractiveness and give to the wearer an
expression that can be interpreted by
any practical observer to mean that
THIS WOMAN is NEAT AND CAREFUL
ABOUT HER PERSON AND HOLDS A JUST
PRIDE IN BEAUTIFYING HERSELF. In
the use of toilet preparations it is
easy to distinguish the well-bred from
the vulgar" Another well-known
authority, DR.. Arthur Dean Bevan,
professor of anatomy in the Rush
Medical College and P. A. surgeon
U. S. M. H. S., writes without re-
serve on a kindred subject What
he says:
CHICAGO, Jan. 81, 1888.
w. M. Wisdom-Dear Sir: AS
you requested, l have examined the
formula OF your toilet preparation
called Robertine. l can assure you
that the ingredients are both bland
and harmless, and that the compound
would form an excellent application
in irritated conditions of the skin.
Society ladies and noted artistes
throughout the United States unhesi-
tatingly pronounce Robertine the
perfection" in a toilet article. Once
tried, always used-such is its history.

WORDS ABOUT SILKS

Usage. value, usefulness, ele-
gance--everything conspires to
make silk dress patterns the
most acceptable of acceptable
holiday presents to woman
kind. In such a gift combines
every phase of gift reasonable

a hundred times to the manu-
facturers-to every one who
has to do with the silks, and
today we can say that every
piece of silk shown you is just
exactly what the salesman says
it to be.
In the quality search price

Stuck on Streeter.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Feb. 2O.-The 117th
ballot in the joint assembly this MORN
ing resulted as follows: Palmer, l0l;
Streeter, "a; Oglesby, 9; Sheridan de-
serting Streeter and going to Oglesby;
1lSth ballot, Palmer, same; Streeter,
%; Oglesby, 8, Erickson going to
Streeter. On the 10th ballot there was
no change; l20th ballot, Palmer, 10l;
Streeter, %; Oglcsby, 8. Assembly ad-
journed until tomorrow.
The senatorial situation seems no
nearer settlement tonight than week
ago. The Republicans have hopes that
the members of their party who have so
far refused to vote for Streeter may
change after visit to uho.s homes over
Sunday. The gentlemen themselves,
however, assert that they will never
vote for Streeter. There were rumOrs
to-day of serious discussions In the
Democratic camp, but they don't appear
to have good foundation. 1t seems
that at a meeting of the Democratic
steering committee this morning Senator
O'COnnOr and Representatives Eddy
and Ramsay expressed the belief that
the time had come for the settling Of a
day when Palmer should be dropped X
not elected. Other members vigorously
opposed such idea, and finally it was de-
termined to have conference with
Gen. Palmer. He intimated very plainly
that he was in the hands of his party
and that they were free at any time 10
drop him if they thought his election
impossible. 1t can be said authorize
lively that he will not retire voluntarily
from the contest, and it is not at all
probable that there will be any falling
off in his vote.
