CONSPIRACY CHARGED.

The Answer of the woolsons to the Ar
buckles Suit in Court,
Toledo. Jan. 5.-The Woolson Spice
Co. has filed an answer in the United
States circuit court in the action
brought against it by the Arbuckles.
1t alleges that the Arbuckles are and
have been since December, 1896, en-
gagged in conspiracy to injure and
wreck the business of the Woolson
Co. for the purpose of wiping out of eX-
istence formidable rival in the coffee
roasting industry. The answer then
says that it would be dangerous to the
interests of the company to permit the
Arbuckles, who own go shares of Wool
son stock, to participate in the man
agement of the latter concern. 1t al
leges that when all the previous
schemes had failed the Arbuckles en-,
tered into conspiracy to force the
Woolsons to enter into combination
to boycott part of the trade of Ohio an6
the United States or to have the Wool
sons boycotted by the trade.

A GOOD COMPLEXION.
How Almost Every Woman Can Have
n CIenr skin.

How Almost Every Woman Can Have
n Clear Skin.
There is no beauty more necessary to-
make woman attractive than q clear
skin, and this with very little troubl9
almost all of us can attain.
The first thing necessary for a good
complexion is good digestion; indeed-
there are few human ills that cannot be
laid at the door of badly-working
liver. To remedy this one must OF
course apply to ones doctor. Next to
this comes cleanliness. Everyone
should take a warm bath once day.
Not jump in the tub and then out again,
but take a scrubbing with first quality
of soap. Afterward one should sponge
off with cold water; but there is no dam
ger anyway of catching cold, If one does
not go out for an hour. This rubbing
opens the pores and let's out all over the
body many impurities which otherwise
would find vent through the face.
The face itself should be washed night
and morning, good soap, and oat or
corn meal. After this rub gently but
firmly into the skin for about five min
| utes little cold cream, and the soften
ing effect of this treatment is almost
amazing. If one could wear flannel
mask for an hour or two during the
"a so the skin would become very warm,
it would be of great benefit. Last, but
by no means least, avoid carefully
catching cold or sitting in damp shoes,
| clothes or draughts.
| Strange as it may seem to the cas-
ual observer. one of the greatest skin
beautifiers is an equal temper and a
regular life. l have seldom seen a
Quaker or woman belonging to re-
ligious order without good skin,
often to the age of so; and l am firm
ly convinced that it is entirely due to
the equable, passive lives they lead.
We can't all be Quakers or Sisters of
Mercy, but we can get up, walk, take
our baths and eat our meals at regular
times, and this rule, if followed with
the other suggestions I have made,
is bound to have a most beautifying
effect on the skin.-Amy E. Hull, in
adieS' World
