THE USE OF FACE POWDERS
They Contain Harmful as Well as
Harmless Substances to
Some Skins.

propose to say few words on the In
auence Of powders in the making and in
the marring Of the complexion. AS
matter of fact, owing to the manner in
which these cosmetics are abused, the
general tendency is to mar rather than
to make, although the immediate effect
may be both satisfactory and pleasing.
The great mistake that is generally made
is that these so-called aids to beauty are
used Unfortunately and irrespeetiyely
OF the idiosyncrasies and peeuliarities of
the skin to which they are applied.
It must be remembered that the basis of
the great majority of powders is starch
8 substance which in itself is harmless
It has, however, drying properties, and
therefore should not be used thoughtless-
ly when the skin is naturally dry. And,
further than this, it should not be forgot
ten that starch is not soluble in either
hot or cold water, and, therefore, can
not be removed from the pores and in
terstices of the skin by the ordinary
methods of washing. In fact, it not in
frequently happens that, owing to this
difficulty in removing it after it has once
been applied, certain Of the pores of the
skin become blocked and ultimately re-
suit in blackheads or even in boils. The
most common addition to the powders
of which the basis is starch, is borax or
boraeic acid. These substances, again,
are comparatively harmless, are soIu-
Bile in water, and act as mild antiseptics,
but, like starch, they also have drying
properties, and hence should not be lay
ishly used unless the skin is naturally
moist. For greasy skins they are par
ticularly useful.
Among the more harmful substances
which are added to these powders are
zinc oxide and certain preparations of
bismuth. These salts, though particu-
.arly soothing to irritated skins, have dis
advantages which it is worth while to re-
member Both Of them, when applied
to greasy skins, are apt to turn a some
what greyish blue hue which presents the
CHASTITY appearance with which we are so
familiar in the case OF skins which have
been enamelled for considerable period
OF time.

DLENTY of vessels, out what is the
! condition of those vessels? This
is the first question which must arise
between the one who would be used and
the Christ who longs to use. What is
the condition? Not the outward ap-
pearance, but the inward state. Not
what man beholds and knows. but what
God sees and knows. What is the condi
ton of the vessel? Is it clean or un-
clean? The condition of that vessel is
the point which determines whether 1t
will be used or cast aside. What is the
condition of your heart and mine?
What is there that renders it unfit for
the Masters use? Let God direct and
conduct the search, and He will reveal
the smut and the dirt and uncleanness
which now renders you unfit for His
service. What is it that can render the
vessel unclean? Sin, you say, in its
manifold forms and degrees. Yes, such
uncleanness is readily recognized and
understood You do not need to be told
that it is that secret sin, that self-indul-
gence, that violation of the laws of God
and man. But there ie. something else
besides the filth gathered by walking in
forbidden paths and receiving unholy
things. The dish upon the shelf may be
unfit for use, not because it has come
in contact with the foul or unclean
thing, not because it has been used for
impure purposes, but just simply be-
cause 1t has been allowed to stand un-
used upon the shelf until the dust has
covered it. It was put away clean and
wholesome, but now 1t is unusable be-
cause of the coating of black dust And

may be unelean from disuse He may

A ND yet a favor1te figure used to
1 = typify the humble disciple whom
Jesus loves to honor by filling with His
presence and using in power and with
glory to His name, is that of the clay.
the common clay from which is made
the vessel fit for the Masters use.
Such thought brings cheer and encour-
agement to the poorest and weakest OF
Jesus disciples. One may not possess
the gold and silver of splendid train
ing and abilities: one may not be the
gold or the silver that graees and heauti-
ies the conspicuous places, and that
fills the most prominent and impor-
tant positions. One may be only the
despised and unnoticed vessel Of wood
or of earth, and still be so clean and
sanetifed that the Master as He
searches the shelves for vessels fit for
His use will gladly take him and use
him AS the Master passes to and fro
through His house, think of what may
meet His gaze. Shelves full Of yes

purposes Of God. The church is not
weak because OIL idCh Oh AllADS1 >.
With the forces now marching under the
banner of the cross, Jesus could speedi-
ly win the world to Himself il those
forces were obedient to His will and re-
sponsive to His mighty power. As the
Master passes through His househe sees
plenty of vessels. He finds there the
gold and the silver ones. How He longs
to use them. How much more could
be accomplished with them than with
the eommoner vessels. How much the
world needs them. With eager hand He
reaches out and takes the gold and sill
yer vessel. He covets it for His service
He has work for it to do. He looks
within All! what is it that meets His
gaze? It is unelean. 1t is unfit for
use. Sadly He replaces this splendid
vessel and takes another to examine
So over the shelves He goes. The shad-
ows on His face deepen, the pain and
disappointment in His heart grow
more intense, until at last with glad
cry way up on the top shelf out Of
sight and unnoticed and unknown He
discovers the common vessel Of clay
which is purged and clean and fit for
use. He takes it down. He says: This
will do And into that common YES
sci He pours His grace and power until
men, beholding, exclaim: Surely,

TN the verse preceding our text Paul
! introduces the figure Of a great
house in which there are various kinds
of vessels, some of gold and some of
silver, others of wood and still Others
Of earth In the opinion of some COM
mentators the great house typif1es the
church, and the vessels the members
are those of gold and silver, and those
of dishonor the wooden and earthen
dishes. The first are taken to represent
the true disciples Of Jesus, the latter
those who are identified with Christ's
church, bit who are unregenerate. It
the wheat and chaff, the drag net filed
with fishes good and bad. The vessels
of gold and silver are precious and able
to endure the trying fire OF God, and
hence fit for His use, while those Of wood
and. earth are worthless, fragile and I'M
able to withstand the searchings Of the
Divine flame. and therefore are vessels
of dis1onor, filing place in the great
house. but never being used in goodly
service. This exegesis would seem to
be sustained by the opening words of
our text. which declare that. If a man
therefore purge himself from these, he
shall be-" and so forth, evidently sug-
costing a separation from the worldly
minded, unholy brother, and living be-
fore God that will be an example and
rebuke to him. Instead Of being vessels
of wood and earth We are to have the
preeiousness of the gold and silver, and
the transmitting power Of Jesus Christ
can change the commonest clay and the
poorest wood into the purest gold and
silver. # vessels Of gold and silver

Patent Absurdities,

II farmers would read more they
perhaps would be caught by the
sharpers less often than they are. 1t
seems of little use however to warn
farmers against being caught by the
various swindles that are being
worked; for the reason that the far
mers that are the dupes are the ones
that do not read agricultural papers.
We believe that very few of our read
ers are food for such sharks. Some
time ago farmer in Oklahoma was
worked by man that was selling pa
tent rights for a preparation that he
claimed would, IL put on trees. Kill all
the borers and that II buried in the
ground OF an orchard would cause all
the gophers there to leave. He also
told the farmer that the experiment

wrote to the Oklahoma station asking

thing about such games is that they

all that there is no "cure.all" for any
disease or insect. Gophers do not
care what is buried in the ground an
acre away and the borer does not
care what preparation is put on the

hole.

When Butter Is to Be Stored.

When butter is being made for
packing it can be handled differently
than when it is made for immediate
consumption. The butter that is to
be used short time after being made
may have high flavor, and some peo-
pie like in it taste of the buttermilk.
1t is a well-known fact that some of
our butter that is the highest in flavor
at time of making is a poor keeper
on account Of the amount of milk it
still contains or of aromas that change
into something else. This will be of
interest to our readers on the farms
who every year pack butter for winter
use or sale. With such Dutter the adj
visable practice is to wash it so thor
oughly that all the curd, that is, all
the buttermilk, will be taken out of it.
Thorough washing, to the point even
or taking out most of the so-called
flavor will put the butter in the best
shape for keeping. This washing takes
out of it the substances in the milk
that act as food for bacteria and cause

making OF butter for ready sale one
washing is frequently regarded as
enough, but in the case of butter for
packing 1t is best to wash the butter.
three times, which should take out Of
1t about all the curd it contains. 1t
must be remembered that when we
speak of curd we mean simply the sub
stance of the milk or buttermilk that
is contained in it. Not too much salt
should he added but enough so that
the butter might be regarded as high
ly sailed. On the farm it is an easy
matter to pasteurize the cream by
beating it. This will destroy the
germs and ferments that cause the
transformations in the butter and in
crease it's keeping quality. The cream
should be permitted 20 become quite
sour before chvrning. as this also
favors its keeping quality.

calves and pigs. The' rusting of cans
is largely due to the manner in which
they are made. The Timing is So i'm
perfect that 1t is soon broken and the
rust begins its work. Farmers would
save much money II they had regu-
lar organization for the purchase of
cans, as they would thus be in posi-
ton to secure good cans. AS IL is
at the present time, man is not GER
tain of getting a good can even IL he
pays a good price Tor 1t. The large
milk bottnng companies can help out
in this matter by buying cans and re-
selling TO farmers, as they have ex-
ceptional facilities for buying cans of
good quality. We believe that cheap
ly made cans are really at the bottom
of much of the trouble farmers are
having in this regard. .. f" ..

Savinu Irritation Water,

The application of water to soil for
irrigation purposes Is matter that is
but poorly understood The building
OF great reservoirs and the digging of
expensive canals and the application

DDS of applying water are being tried.
One of these Is sprinkling This

How Air Affects Cream.

A French savant claims TO have
found out that air affects cream very
detrimentally en- account of the Sxy
gen in it. Perfectly pure air he would
have us believe so affects the upper
layers of cream that has stood for any
time that to get the best results in the
matter OF flavor these layers must be
SKINNED off and no. used in the max.
ing Of butter. This is drawing the line
very close, and we are not sure that
he is right. In fact our scientists have
looked into these matters very care.

That siberian Rutte-.

Probably no foreign subject con.
hected with dairying has received so
much attention from the press OF the
United States during the last few
Years as has Siberian butter, 1t has
entered so directly into competition
with the butter of all other countries
that sell dairy products in the English
market that we have been forced to
recognize it as a great factor. ! Per
maps the matter has received more
attention than it deserves; but there
has been a feeling that this matter Of
Siberian butter is to become very
great factor in the competitive butter
markets of the world. In other coun-
tries the area for the production of
butter for export is limited, and no
one locality is feared very much. But
with Siberia it is different There is
there an immense stretch of territory
that is admirably adapted to the pro-
duction of dairy articles. Labor rs
cheap and transportation, being under
the government, is also cheap. Butter
seems to be about the only manufac-
tured product of an agricultural ma
ture that is being exported, Condi-
tons are such that it seemed that II
would be possible for the Siberians to
undersell every other nation and SO
capture the best butter markets OF
the world, This thought has evidently
been in the minds Of the Siberians
themselves. judging from the way
they have taken hold of the matter.
In five years the number Of dairy
farms there has increased five fold,
There is, however, this protection to
the other butter-producing countries,
that the methods followed by the 81.
berians are yet crude, and much Of the
butter turned out Is of poor quality.
The war in the east has taken the at
tention of the government, and there
now seems no good reason to suppose
that the government will, do much to
improve conditions in the Siberian but
ter factories for some years to come.
Should the Russian government take
hold of the matter as vigorously as
has the Canadian government taken
hold of the dairy business in the
Northwest Territories the quality Of
Siberian butter would be at once
raised to a point that would make
that country a dangerous competitor
for every butter producing country in
the world that sells its product in the
English market.
