''Im never going to marry until I can afford to keep my wife out of the kttch- en-" said bachelor the other day, "be- cause as soon as a woman does house. work she loses her good looks so fast that I'd want a divorce" And he was enough of a cynic to add dryly, "Di- vorces are so expensive"
 It's a pretty state of affairs if a wo- man, in doing the very work which the social order of things assigns her, loses all the charm which the social order of things also assigns her. It certainly is a pity if it's so, but I'm inclined to dsa- gree with this bachelors sweeping state ment. It seems too sweeping, but he had some foundation for the remark. If you are a housekeeper without a maid, ask yourself whether the statement applies to you.
 Ifsso, it should not be SO. Housewor k IS not drudgery, unless 1t is made so. No work is for that matter Cheer up, 50 at 1t wholesomely, and the wrinkles will smooth out of your face. while your mouth ceases to droop at the corners. This is the first step in the beauty win ming process.
 Go at the work remembering that your beauty and daintiness must not be sacri- nced to 1t. This does not mean that you are to shirk household duties for the sake of keeping your hands white. But there are countless little ways in which you can preserve your beauty even while do- ing the hardest part of the housework with your own hands
 First of ali. make sure that you are ret letting it tire you overmuch. Perhaps this sounds like an easy thinsg to say when one is not doing all the work for a husband and flock of six Perhaps you think that is all very well for the people who sit in library and theorize about it. But it is a fact that nine out of ten houseworkers make their work far harder than 1t need be.
 The common wall is, My feet ache so. I'm on them all day" Is it necessary to be on them so much?
 For the woman who does not lead an ec- tive life, 'housework is recommended as a good course in physical training. This advice is not for her. It is for the wo- man who does the housework because she

 When 1t comes to the point of needing cutting, apply a corn salve at night, ruD- ping we'll in,- and the corn can be.renoved early Tn the morning. As soon as it Is removed, fasten piece of oiled silk on the spot and wear this for several days. If it does not adhere of. itself, a bit of fine thread will hold 1t on. The silk pre- vents the rubbing of'the shoe on the ten- der spot. .... . ,
 Hands need great care while fousework is daily practice. They are cut and burned and soaked in hot, water and gen erally abused. The only possible advice is. Don't =. ..' .-.

Puss.-As to using milk on your face, the 'how" of 1t depends largely upon your own skin. It is oily and if your skin tends to be oily of itself. the milk bath once a week is sufficient otherwise, twice week. Have the milk tepid. Be careful that 1t does not boil If you find any eruption on your face after a few baths of this kind, they are not the best things for your complexion.

FILIPINO OFFICERS TOO LAX.
Carter SeyS Attacks on Americans
Must Be Avenged Promptly.

OdrTcF SeyS ATTACKS on Americans
Must Be Avenged Promptly.
Washington, Sept: 3.-In his annual
report Brigadier General William H.
Carter, commanding the department of
the Visiyas in the Philippines, strong
ly urges the encouragement of athletic
sports among the soldiers to supply the
present lack of means of recreation,
and carefully regulated and abundant
employment as the most wholesome
antidote for the effects cf Philippine
service in time of peace. He holds
that the number of troops in the is
lands and the distribution should be
definitely determined. He says no in
su1rection or invasion can succeed if
deprived of the control of Manila and
the principal seaport cities, and their
occupation is military necessity.
Temporary construction and make
shifts Of every kind only serve, he
says, to develop and confirm in the
minds of Filipinos the Idea that Amer
leans do not intend to hold the islands
pei manently, SO the matter is properly
one for the study of the general staff.
A considerable portion of the rep ,rt
deals with the operation of ladrones in
this department during the past year
and General Carter says:
81 am of the opinion that it is of no
benefit to the good people of these is
lands and will delay their ultimate
Ams ,canization if the evil element is
allowed to threaten, harass and openly
attack American soldiers without i'm
mediate action by the commanding Off
Ger nearest to the place where the
offense is committed"
The reason of this complaint is
general order which leaves the civil
authorities to deal with such offenses.
