 Utterly refuse to allow your face to have even a lowing acquaintance with hard water. The lime which 1t contains will crack the epidermis, roughen. redden and chap it out of all semblance of beauty.
 The face must be thoroughly scrubbed once in the twenty-four hours lest the pores become clogged with the smoke and dust of the atmosphere. Bedtime Is the best time for this scrubbing and little castle soap and a camels hair face- brush will assist the cleansing operation. Then, to keep the skin soft and yielding, free from harshness and on unpleasant terms with wrinkles, little pure cold cream should ue used.
 In the morning it will not be necessary to again wash the face unless the skin has not absorbed all the oils of the cream In that case merely wipe away with cloth just slightly moistened. If the face needs washing at other times I would sug- gest that this toilet milk be used:

UNREQUITED LOVE
 AND A REVOLVER
Tragic End of Romance at the Town of Valley
 Ford.
tilted byHis Sweetheart, a Prosperous Young Swiss Fatally Shoots
 Himself

Special Dispatch to The Call.
 SAN RAFAEL, Jan. 8-From the lit tie town of Valley Ford on the bound ary line between Marin and Sonoma Counties comes a story of attempted suicide and behind it the tale of an un- requited love of great interest.
 This morning, according to the mea- ger accounts that have found their way to San Rafael, James Sardelotti, an honest, hard-working Swiss, made a desperate attempt to blow his brains out with a revolver near the great creamery where he had employment. He was found by, ranch hand lying in a pool of his own blood, unconscious and with the crimson fluid oozing from a wound in his right temple.
 Helping hands soon arrived, and shortly after Sardelotti recovered con- sciousness and gazed about him in sur prise. When he recovered sufficiently to tell of his deed he said that he had 8 pistol in his hand and had stumbled and that as he fell the pistol was dis charged and the bullet had struck him. After that he remembered nothing. To- day the man is lying at the point of death and the doctors hold out no hopes of recovery.
 The story told by ehe wounded man Is not believed, for it is said that he has been deSpOndenJ over love ana1r. Sar- delotti holds notes and other securities for large sum, in the thousands, ac- cording to some of those who were in- timate with him at Valley Ford. His wealth is given as at least $10,000, the earnings of a lifetime, and with this sum he wished to buy home and wed a sweetheart he left years ago in Swift zerland.
 Only recently have the dreams of his youth been within his reach and he wrote in endearing terms to the maiden who had grown to womanhood and be- sought her to journey across the waters and become his wife. There came no reply to his entreaties and he waited day after day, week after week, and still the mail brought no letter to cheer him. Again and again he wrote, and as the months rolled by and no answer arrived, Sardelotti grew Respondent, and to-day he sought to end his exist ence.
 Dr. Bruce of Bloomfield was sent for and treated the wounded man. At a late hour the information was given out that Sardelotti could not recover. for the wound was in vital spot and the end might come at any time.
