One of the main points in taking care
Of the hands is to keep them clean.
When manicure operates on the nails
the first thing she does is to soak the
fingers in warm soapy water. This is
an excellent. plan unless the hands are
already shriveled and rough from hav-

making clean. pretty hands. Just
small scrubbing brush that usually
costs 5 cents is as good a finger and

Kept handy in the kitchen.
After the nails are scrubbed and the
hands are thoroughly clean and dry
lotion of some kind should be rubbed
into them. For this there is nothing
better than the old standard one of
strained lemon juice and pure glycerin
mixed in equal parts. Used at night, it
will keep the hands smooth and white

that Judge is amenable and he should be
removed from office through impeach-

and regretful apologies cannot avail. He
has startled and amazed many of his
best friends who were his staunch and
ardent supporters i'll the election which
secured him the office of judge of the
City Court for a second term. This
is not a question or issue of sentiment

CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.

Circunlstantial evidence, to the train
ed and careful judicial mind, is the best
kind of evidence. Direct testimony is
not necessary Such were the words
of Hon. T. F. Bell. of the First Ju-
dicial District Court, in reviewing
and in giving his decision in the
Lowenthal case, appealed from the City
Court
. 1t was a Sunday law violation case.
1t was appealed from the City Court,
where the defendant had been fined SIS
and costs.
In many cases involving the violation
of the Sunday law by saloons Judge
Hicks has ruled that direct evidence is
necessary to convict
The decision of Judge Bell is received
with satisfaction by all classes of the
people who favor the enforcement of
law.
In his view. of circumstantial evidence
Judge Bell is supported by the ablest le-
gal minds notably by Sir Henry Hawk
ms. one of te greatest of England's
great jurists. He has declared that cir
eurnstantial evidence is the best kind of
evidence, as it will not prevaricate.
4 The venerable Judge A. w. o. Hicks,
when sitting as Judge of the District
Court, entertained the same view Of cir
cunlstantial evidence and whenever he
erred, which was rare, it was ALWAYS
on the side of law and order. of JUS
tice and good morals.
There would be few if any convictions
on direct evidence, especially in the cases
