HOW TO TAKE A MILK BATH.
Paris Recipe Includes olive oil, Cognac

and q Raw Potato or Cucumber.
Special Cobls Dsspateh 10 THE SUN.
LONDON, July 2f.-The latest recipe for
the familiar treatment Of the complexion
by bathing In milk comes from Paris. It
says that the face and neck should first be
carefully cleaned with pieces OF wadding
soaked with a mixture Of olive oil and cog
nae or olive oil and eau de cologne, and
the skin then dried and the milk bath ap-
piled. Let the milk dry on the face and
then rub. with thin slices Of a raw potato
or a cucumber.
Women sometimes find that the milk
seems to burn the face at first, but they
must persevere and the good effects will
soon be perceived. The treatment must
be regular and continued for a long time II
good results are wanted.
The external milk treatment ought to be
accompanied by certain internal applica-
lions, including many glasses OF pure milk
during the day and a large glass of hot
water on going to bed. and another on get
ting up. Take little meat; plenty Of salad,
but no wine, no tea and no cake.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, July 2l.-Just as the
Sultan found difficulties In recognizing the
change from President Mckinley to Presi-
dent Roosevelt and the raising Of the Ameri-
can ministry to an embassy, 80 he now
refuses TO recognize the new kingdom OF
Norway. The Norwegian Government has
applied 10 Germany for assistance in the
matter, but meanwhile the Porto, Needless
Of all International law, has refused TO
grant an e~xequatur TO the Norwegian Con-
ul-General.
Private information about the encounter
on July Q between Turkish and Persian
troops on disputed frontier territory shows
that 1t was much moro serious than re-
ported. Seven hundred Turkish horsemen
intended to occupy Puzevet, an importan mt
strategic point in tho Lehidjan district,
but Persian troops, reinforced by numerous
armed nomads, ~repulsed them after q ferce
fight, inhicting serious loeces on tho Turks,
who retreated. The Turkish Minister Of
War has instituted the closest imitation
Of an investigation possible in this country.
Tho Turkish police authorities have Issued
an ordinance prohibiting Ottomans from
taking fencing Lessons at q Greek club
called Hermis, which recently announced
that It intended TO open a course Of ath-
letics. The authorities evidently believe
that fencing would prove an excuse for
revolutiona ~ plottings and that a course
in athletics would be merely a pretext for
lodging the strict rules against the form

Present Divided Management Responsible

Special cab,s Despatch TO TIE SUN.
LONDON. July 2i.-Shipping interests
have been encouraged to hope that some
thing definite Is at last about to be done to
settle the difficult problem Of the port OF
London. Nominally the first port In the
world, 1t Ii notoriously behind many others
Of Great Britain and indeed has been dubbed
by irritated sufferers as the first and worst.
Its channels are shallow and difficult and
It's docks inadequate. All the arrangements
for the transshipment Of goods are cum
bersome and old fashioned.
Repeated futile e%ndeavors have been
made to place the port in control Of q single
authority with q view Of reforming con-
diions. A committee OF ship owners, dock
directors and merchants which has been
sitting to devise q new uniicahon scheme
has,at length agreed to recommend the ap-
pointment of o controlling body in the form
of a trust similar to the Mersey Docks and
Harbor Board, which would acquire all the
docks, deepen the channels and generally
modernize the port and the methods now In
use. The board would represent mainly
the ship owners and merchants who pay
harbor dues, the various dock companies
being represented on It only until arrange
ments for transferring their property to
the trust are completed.
Details OF the scheme have not been
elaborated, but it will be submitted to the
Board Of Trade as 1t stands in the hope
that the Government will incorporate 1t In
a bill which it proposes to introduce In Par
lament at the next session. The price to
be paid for the docks Is not dealt with, but
II must In any case be enormous, as the
capital Of the existing dock companies is
between 5000, 900 and 100000 pounds
sterling.
Even II the Government adopts the scheme
the trouble will in NJ wise be over. 1t viii
inevitably be opposed, especially by the
County Council members, who are am
bilious to control the port themselves, and
in one of their past unrealized plans pro-
posed to allocate e.. 500 900 from the rates
for deepening the channels. The various
bodies now having a finger in the control
pie ave been figured at a total Of ffty-four.
There are, however, actually only six e-
feotive authorities, but this is quite enough
to produce a conflict.
The prime object Of the new scheme IL to
centralize control and harmonic divergent
interests.
