A COMPLEXION TREATMENT.
Eow a Woman's Features May BE Made

A complexion treatment from the
good old days, when gentlewomen did
not leave their health entirely to the
care of other people, reads pleasantly
enough. 1t will be worth transferring
to those brocade MS. recipe books
which are fancy with women OF
taste. For good complexion take
one heaping teaspoonful of dried elder
flowers, or twice as much Of fresh
ones still lingering along shaded
meadow paths. Pour over it one cup
of boiling filtered water and cover
close. Let it steep fifteen minutes,
strain and add sugar and lemon to the
taste, emitting them il so preferred.

Let the oil remain from ten minutes to
half an hour, as time allows, wash it
off with warm water and fine soap,
wiping with a Turkish towel, which is
advisable for the face always. Finish
by dashing cold water on the face, and
wipe again.

Mr.. Hull paid the toll. Next time he

replied to his demand for toll as did
the American soldiers. Bowing pro-
foundly, the keeper made no further
request. and r,-entered his shack, al

A TRUST VICTORY
The Cane and Beet Sugar Men Ad-
luSted Their Troubles and Put
the Screws to the Senate
Republicans.

WASHINGTON, d. C., June 2l.-One
Of the most important members of the
senate committee ON relations with
Cuba was asked:
What was the real cause of the
failure of the Cuban reciprocity bill":''
i should say that it was because
Pontius PLATE and Herod had become
friends. BY PLATE | mean the Beet
Sugar Trust and by Herod | mean he
American Sugar Refining company"
DO You understand that their inter
ests have become identical?'
That Is what understand has taken
place. The American Sugar Refining
company has become interested in the
beet sugar works, and the striking off
of the differential by the House was
what brought them to common gronua.
So long as they were falling out, Cuba
was in a fair way to get her due, but
not after they had united in q COM
mon cause"
This accounts for the discontinue of
President Roosevelt. His party in the
Senate Is under the control either Of
the sugar trust proper or the young
beet sugar combine. The union Of the
two was too much for the President.
He will be defeated and humiliated In
a body where his party is In an over
whelming majority.
The President feels the modification
keenly and understands fully the influ-
encss controlling his party friends in
the Senate, He is beginning to be
lieve. too that the same frlffuente-
the combined trusts-that has beaten
the pet measure OF his administration,
reciprocity with Cuba. will also defeat
his aspirations to succeed himself In
the White House.
The President is disgusted and an
cry. He Is also respondent. The
power OF the trusts has been dem
onstrated to him. and he sees his own
political end In sight In the near
future.
