done, and one which is not dependent
on Canadian cooperation. This
remedy could be accomplished by New
York State alone, and would be to so
deepen the river channel south Of
Goat Island, between that island and
the New York State bank, that tn,
American Falls would divide with the
Horseshoe whatever water was not
diverted from its natural bed. The
Treaty of Client places the American
boundary at point well out into the
deep part of the river channel and
affords ample opportunity to make
necessary excavations.

Our worthy member of the State
Legislature, DR.. NJ. 4. Hermann,
placed himself in the lime light OF
public attention by Offering reso-
luton which was unanimously
acted upon, calling for the estab-
lishment of a club room exclusive
ly for the law makers of Pennsyl-
vania. The Philadelphia Inquirer
ridiculed the doctors idea OF n
club room with Il large front-page
cartoon, showing our member ei.-
joying the luxuries of club-room
life. Nevertheless our members )
idea is alright and in max ing the
move he did, places him in rank
above the average legislator aud,
we will venture to add, the most
able diplomat Sullivan ever had.
The doctor doubtless realized that
our State has too many obnoxious
laws already and in order to check
the nuisance he wisely undertook
to allure the attention of the Legis-
lature to the enjoyment of clnb
life, or to more fully explain his
stroke of genius, he was aiming to
side track the mischief making
machinery and get it out of the
way of the reform movement nuW
advancing on the main line from
Philadelphia to Harrisburg. 1t
was clever move, doctor, get your
Legislative associates interested
in something else besides making
laws. Have too many already.
We are an overlawed people and
it is no wonder laws are falling in
to disrepute. A prominent attor
ney of Dushore, speaking to us re-
Gently relative to the Tax Sale law,
remarked that it was ''one' of the
most vicious laws he knew of. So
we have vicions laws, preposterous
laws, silly laws, laws that conflict
with other laws, laws that can lie
construed to mean dozen different
things, trivial laws, laws that are

Some years ago cotton mill was es-

farmers, who turned to dairy farming.
Things are different now The farm

mere are women who do not believe
In the use of powder. Why? Well
they were not brought up to use it,
and they hold to the biased opinion
that the habit is foolish and tawdry
and damaging to the cuticle." This
Kind OF reasoning went out OF fashion
when 1t was discovered that powder ia
a protection to the skin and a means
OF natural beauty as we'll. To protect
the skin from the ravages of temper
ature means the preservation of nat.
Iral beauty-see?
Use first-rate brand % powder.
Don't use the sort made pernicious by
minerals that fairly corrode the skin.
Get brand that is finely bolted and
mas a disinfectant quality along with
refreshing influence. Use plenty Of
1t, but not too much.
Before you go into the weather put
cold cream on your face. Gently rub
the cream into the skin. Then wipe
the cream off-after which apply the
powder with soft cloth or piece Of
chamois. The powder pun is a good
thing to use when you want to re.
fresh the face. But when you are pre-
pairing it to fare into the weather, use
the cloth or channels.
Always remove powder from the
face at night before you retire. You
can not wipe powder off with a damp
cloth, nor can you wash it OF with
cold water. Give the face bath with
suds made of water and a fine toilet
soap. Then rinse all the soap of the
cuticle.
The application OF cold cream before
you retire is another story.-Chicago
