A Nice. Neck.

The neck needs as much care and
attention to keep 1t in good condition
as the face. You cannot expect to
make 1t white, remove the lines, and
fill out the hollows in a few days,
when you have neglected it all win
ter. 1t should be massaged regularly
at least once a day before retiring
with good massage cream, and
rubbed up with rotary motion. The
muscles at the side Of the neck may
be developed by turning the head on
the axis of the spine slowly from
right to left and back again. Spong-
ing in cold water will aid in keeping
the neck firm.

Children Of Missionaries.

In Europe the son often follows his
fathers trade; in America, the land
of change and rapid promotion, he
seldom does. For this reason, observes
the Youths Companion, there Is some
thing particularly significant in the
fact that of the missionaries of the
American board in India and Ceylon,
one-third are the children, or the
grandchildren of missionaries sent out
two or three generations ago. Many
men say to their sons, Mine is a poor
business; try some other" The sons
of the missionaries have said to their
sires, "Yours Is noble work; we will
continue IT.

Hollow Cheeks.

To fill out the hollow cheeks, stimu-
late the circulation and build up the
tissues, there is nothing better than
the habit of bathing the face with
very cold water every morning, also
at night after the facial Tubing with
warm water, pure soap and a correct
complexion brush. Proper massage,
with orange flower skin food and a
rotary movement with the finger tips
will prove helpful. Make 1t prac-
tice to sip a glassful of hot milk at

How to Brush the Hair.

There is right and wrong way Of
brushing the hair, as there is of doing
everything else. First, part down the
center above the forehead, and give it
20 brisk strokes ON either side Di-
vide it down the back, and repeat the
same process. Next brush 1t back
from the ears, giving it always the 20
strokes. Persevere with this treat
ment, and your hair will soon become
soft and glossy and repay the trouble
taken with it.

all national banks and corporations

from making any money contribution

Several amendments were added to
make the bill more certain in tone
and to give il Il wider scope. They
include presidential electors and
state legislatures in the provisions of

the measure is fine of not more than

that 1T is quite a custom for the rail-

Washington Letter.
(From onr regular correspondent.l


WASHINGTON, d. c., April %, 1906
Secretary Metcalf's first report to
the president on the situation in San
Francisco seems to be an eminentlY
sane and conservative statement
of the situation. Like the most Of
fetal accounts OF great disasters, it
reduces the first excessive estimate
of the death roll. But it says it is
impossible to overstate the material
loss involved. Secretary Metcalf in
his report to the president says tnat
he has finished the inspection of the
entire burned district and while it
viii never be possible to tell exactly
the number of dead as many of the
bodies were destroyed in the ruins, he
thinks 800 will cover the number
There are about /, 200 injured in the
hospitals of the city, but of these
there are only a few who are serious
ly hurt. The administration of the
city, he says. is excellent, everything
considered, and the police, the militia
and the regulars have worked well to-
gether. He gives full credit to Gen.
Greeley and General Funston for the
excellent work they have done and
says that but for Gen. Funstons
prompt and energetic measures. the
catastrophe would have been infinite
ly worse.
The officials of the treasury depart
= ment have not yet ceased their eX-
pressions of surprise and admiration
at the saving of the San Francisco
mint with its $500, 900, 900 of treasure
1t is said that but for this the situa-
tion would have been much worse and
more complicated from a financial
standpoint than it is. But for the
coin that was saved with the mint
building, it would have been impos-
Sible for the secretary of the. treasury
to have transferred SIS, 200, 900, as he
did, to the city to permit the demol-
ished banks to resume operations.
The salvation of the mint is attribut-
ed to the presence of the two big ar
tesian wells that give the building an
independent water supply. This sup
ply was the only reliance when the
mains of the city were broken 1t
raises the question whether it might
not be good Investment for many
large and particularly valuable build
ings to have their own water supply
in similar way against a similar
catastrophe. 1t is of course unlikely
that another earthquake will speedily
wipe out any other great city, but
sudden accident to the city mains
with its resultant danger of a dread
full fire is thing to which any Amer
lean city might.be liable at any mo-

The question of the presidential
nomination has been put squarely up
TO the speaker of the house and he
side-stepped with a neatness that is
quite characteristic. One of his home
papers came out with boom for Mr..
Cannon for the presidency. He was
shown the dispatch and at first refus-
ed to discuss it. But it was pointed
out that such an announcement was

Proclamation of Thanksgiving
By the Governor of Arizona

To the People of Arizona: Thanksgiving Day has become so much and so peculiarly an American institution that we look forward to it's near approach with feelings of grateful pleasure. It had its origin with the sturdy pioneers of a new continent. It is hallowed by the customs of our people for nealy three centuries. It is recognized by churches of every creed. and has been em- bodied in our laws as the great an- nual American family festival of Thanksgiving for the mercies, pros perity and happiness of the closing year. The memories of the years gone by of happy family gatherings have especially endeared the day to us all having to those. of whom there are many of us, who have migrated from the scenes of their earlier years, a peculiar significance of the day.
 The president of the United States has by his proclamation desig- mated Thursday, the twenty.ninth- day of November, for its observ- ance.
 By the law of the nation. and by the law of Arizona. it is made a legal holiday of the people of this prosperousc community. to enable the fittingly and fully to observe and enjoy the ceremonies. all in their own manner of Thanksgiving day.
 Now, therefore, l, Joseph H. Kibbey, governor of Arizona, do hereby designate and appoint Thurs day. November twenty-ninth. 1906. Thanksgiving day. and recommend its observance and celebration as such.
 In witness whereof I have here unto set my hand and caused the great seal of the Territory to be affixed. Done at Phoenix, the capi- tai, this first day of November, 1906.
