There are ways of keeping the neck
white. and they are being tried success
fully by many persons. The society
women who display such wonderful
white shoulders are able to possess
these charms only by strict attention
to the care OF the skin. Shoulder batns
are being tried by women who wan. a

a few shoulder baths as recommended
by a woman who invents many a fine
lotion for the skin:
The best shoulder and neck whiten-

applied To the face. the neck and the
shoulders will bleach them. Let it dry
on. Don't wash ii of for an hour. You
cannot use ii too often. 1t is the best
known bleach for the skin.
The sweet milk bath is pleasanter
and sometimes more available. Whole

day old, Is the best. Wash the face
and neck in it. This is the Anna Held
milk bath which was famous for its
beauty giving properties.

DEMAND TARIFF REVISION.
BOSTON Republicans Believe q Reduo-
ton of the Tariff Is
Necessary.

The committee OF one hundred OF
l,a Boston Chamber OF Commerce APP
pointed to consider the general ques
ion OF reciprocity and tariff revision
adopted a declaration that the coun-
ny is confronted with a commercial
md economic situation which threat
ms American interests and Industries.
These Boston republican business men
'urther declared:
we believe revision OF the tariff
ipon the principle Of reciprocity TO
De necessary, and we affirm that the
ldoption OF a maximum and minimum
.ariff system, having for its purpose
reciprocity rather than retaliation, is
pest calculated To promote and main
ain a rational system of protection.
md To guarantee the equitable treat
nent of all foreign nations.
The typical attitude of Germany,
)ur second largest foreign customer.
emphasizes the practical character Of
reciprocity as a political proposition.
The tendency of the Hay-Bond treaty
with Newfoundland, and our unset
lied commercial relations with the
Dominion of Canada most urgently
,all for immediate action.
I'VE earnestly endorse the reported
Intention of President Roosevelt TO
call a special session of congress for
the immediate revision of the tariff"
That declaration of independence
of the republican dogma of protec-
ton will lead to freedom from the
plundering of the trusts and pro-
tected special interests if President
Roosevelt will stick TO his declared
intention Of calling special session
Of congress TO consider that and the
railroad rate question.
The Boston republican business
men urge Immediate revision of the
tariff" but they will have to be earn
estly pushing and urging the reform
they desire or they will be previously
disappointed.
The republican leaders. who are al
most without exception opposed to
special session of congress, on account
of their objecting to tariff revision.
have evidently persuaded President
Roosevelt that an extra session is not
warranted by conditions and that to
call one before the fall elections would
lnjurc the party in those states where
elections are to be held. The presi-
dent seems to have fallen into this
trap and those republican leaders who
have talked with him declare there
will be no special session, at least
not until after the elections are over,
which would bring the time close to
the regular date Of meeting. December
4. In that case it will be much easier
for the republican stand-patters who
will control the house of representa-
tives. where all tariff legislation must
originate, to prolong the hearings on
the bill and so procrastinate in report
ing the same that it will be too late
for the senate TO act and so tariff re-
vision will be defeated. Those are
conditions that tariff reformers have
to face and the Boston tariff reform
ars must act accordingly.
