How Ralfour GETS News.

Although Mr.. Balfour is one of the
foremost men of the day, he asserts
that he never reads the newspapers
Many persons have wondered not how
he keeps abreast of the times. but
how he seems conversant with SO
many little incidents apparently culled
from daily columns. 1t appears that
though Mr.. Balfour doesn't read the
newspapers, Miss Alice Balfour does,
and some of her friends say that she
is sort of clipping bureau for her
distinguished brother. Miss Balfour,
who keeps house for the bachelor
prime minister, is a diligent reader OF
news and cuts out whatever she thinks
he ought to see and tells him all about

Treatment for the Complexion.

Why are ladies so especially inter-
ested in the complexion of their faces?
They ought to be interested in the
complexion of their whole bodies 1t
is not of much consequence what
the complexion of the face is. if the
color of the body in general is right.
A clear complexion all over the body
Is an indication of a sound body.
In England, when a pugilist is in
training for an encounter in the ring,
his trainer knows by his complexion
when he is ready for the fight. He
says, This man is in the pink of con-
dition, because his skin is as clear as
a woman's.'
The skin is signboard for the
whole body. An unhealthy looking
complexion, a dry, inactive skin. is
an indication of the unhealthy condi-
ton of the body all through.
Bathing is a good thing for the conn
plexion; cool morning bath will tone
up the skin. invigorate the appetite,
and stimulate the vital processes But
the best cosmetic of all is a pure diet.
Those who have been brought up on
a vegetarian diet usually have pure
skins. Healthy little children always
have clear skins, but as they get old
err their skins often become dingy and
sallow, simply because they have
learned to abuse the laws of life and
health, and have INDUCED their appe-
tites with unwholesome things.

MURDOCH MUST
MEET GARDNER
Latter Downs Schmidt and
Qualities for a Match
With the Tennis Champion
WILL CLASH ON SUNDAY
Brilliant Game Is Played
on the California Club
Courts by Rival Experts

BY beating Herbert Schmidt in the
finals OF the San Francisco tennis
championship tournament in the Cali
fornia Club courts yesterday Carl Gard
ner earned the right to challenge Percy
Murdock, the champion. They will
meet on Sunday to determine the
championship for 1905.
The final match was by far the best
Of the tournament and was the closest
and most exciting played in the courts
in many months. Both of the young
experts were at their best. and the
spectators were treated to some un-
usually good tennis. Gardner won
three sets out of four, but the match
was closer than many five set affairs.
The game in Gardeners favor was
Cd, 2-6, 81, 8-6.
1t was a brilliant player against a
steady one, and, as is usually the case
when they are in the same class. the
latter won. Schmidts work was spec
tacular, while Gardner played less
snowy but a more effective game.
Schmidt made some wonderful re-
turns, getting back seemingly impos-
sibIe balls. At the net he was by Tar
the stronger OF t1e two, while in the
back court Gardner excelled. He used
a half-speed, back-hand drive. with
which he passed Schmidt time after
time The real struggle began In the
third set, after each player had set
to his credit. The game seesawed
after 3-2 had been reached, neither
player being more than a game ahead
at any time. Gardner finally won by
a score of 81. He led at SO. but
Schmidt took the next three games.
Unlike most young players. Schmidt,
after losing the third set by a small
margin, was not bit discouraged,
but played harder than ever He was
invincible in the early part of the
fourth and deciding set. Gardner led
at 2-1, but Schmidt took the next four
games, giving him the commanding
lead of So. 1t looked like sets all at
this stage of the game, but Gardner
kept right at his task and try as he
+. would Schmidt could not get the game
that would have evened up the score
for him. Gardner finally pulled 1t out
by a score of SIS.
In the semi finals Gardner beat
Charles Foley easily the score being
6-3, 6-1. Schmidt had harder time
disposing of Harry Rolfe in this round.
The latter won the first set easily, but
played himself out. In the second and
third sets Rolfe was tired. while
Schmidt kept getting stronger. The
score was 3-6, 6-1, 60.
The championship match between
Murdock and Gardner will be played
in the California Club courts next Sun
day at 2:30 o'clock Gardeners victory
was a well-earned one. He proved
beyond a doubt that he was the best
man in the tournament.
First prize goes to Gardner, second
to Schmidt and tff wo third prizes
to Foley and Rolfe.
