THE COMPLEXION.
Virtues OF Warm Water For Washing the
Face and Hands.

Face and Hands.
Rough towels are usually recommended
for bath use, and as the skin of the body
is continually protected by the clothing
and receives little friction save during the
bath rough towel is desirable for pro-
noting the circulation and stimulating
the surface. With the face and hands,
however, it is a different matter. They
are exposed to constant variations of tenn
perature to wind, sun and other harsh in
huences, and chatting them with a rough
cloth abrades and coarsens the skin in
stead of improving it Soft and somewhat
worn towels are therefore better for face
and hand use, and violent rubbing is to be
avoided
The face and hands should not be wash
ed in very cold water, AS it Injuries the
quality of the skin. Washing the face in
cool water when the skin has been sun
burned is also to be avoided, for, although

Rawson's Military Band of Racine,
and two electric cars, and arrived in

line, and with Japanese lanterns lit,
and flags flying, and headed by the
band, they marched down Milwaukee

the Park and backsto Simmons Hall,
stopping however long. enough to look
into the new quarters of the Badger
Council at Liberty Hall.
Arrived at the hall, Mr.. Shurr of
Racine, was appointed toast master,
and upon his taking the chair the fun
began, the female portion of the Raw
son Band kindly withdrawing from the
hall.
Wit, songs, and general speeches
followed each other in quick success

antly and proftablygspent.
The newly elected .3Archon, Mr.. E.

AN IMPRESSIVE CEREMONY
Arms and Regimenta1s Will Be Here Next
Week-Kenosha Will Have a Military
Company, of Which She May
Well Be Proud.

When the Kenosha Volunteers were
organized some months ago the war
spirit was intense and several of the
men enlisted in the hope that the com
pany would be called upon to 90 TO the
front, and they would thus be given a
chance to smell powder, and, perhaps,
to die for their country. 1t was this
hope of active service that nerved the
men to attend the regular drills and to
undergo all the disagreeableness of
learning how to soldier. Every man
longed to be at the Spaniards and at
night dreamed dreams of fleeing enc
mics and whistling bullets.
Time went on. The company was
not called out and disappointment af-
fected the enthusiasm of the volunteers.
Several of the men dlopped; others did
not attend the regular meetings, and
Captain Miller had a hard time III
keeping together the faithful few. 1t is
greatly to his credit that he persevered
and it must be said for him that he
managed to make fairly presentable
company. Something, however, was
needed as an objective point for the
men to work towards. Accordingly
steps were taken to have the men
mustered into the National Guard. All
the arrangements were made and the
mastering in was set for Friday even
ing.
At an early hour in the evening the
volunteers began to assemble in Sim
mons Hall where they were to be mus
tered in by Col. W. Fl. Patton, Assist
ant Adjutant of the Wisconsin Nation
al Guard. The lists were opened and
the names began to pour in. Col
Patton administered the oath to sep
arate groups and it was an impressive
sight to watch the men standing with
barred heads and uplifted hands pledg-
ing themselves to their country. After
the administering of the oath the men
came together for the election of officers
and elected by ballot. the following
men: Captain, W. W. Miller; First
Lieutenant, Frank McCordee; Second
Lieutenant, David Thomas.
Several members of the original vol
unteers gave in their names and there
also were many new men. A special
meeting is to be held next Tuesday
evening in Simmons Hall, when the
measurements of the men will be
taken. Arms and regimentals will be
supplied to them by the State and the
company will be known as Company E
Of the Fifth Wisconsin. For the pres
ent the men will meet in Simmons Hall
and this will be their armory. They
will probably be supplied with arms
and uniforms in week CT ten days.
1t is gratifying to the men to know
that their company has at last arecog-
nized status. Although it was dis
appointment to them not be called out
for service in this war, yet this act of
mastering in has given them some sort
Of consolation. Col. Patton, in speak
ing of the men, said that they formed
as good a company as any that he had
mustered into the National Guard.
Captain Miller's friends are enthusiasts
ric in the work that he has done and
they are confident that he will make an
efficient company out of Company E.
