for two or three years the establish

trict for the punishment of husbands
who beat their wives. On several oc-
casions he has advocated his bill on
the floor of the house, and IL has al

Adams Is an old bachelor, wealthy and

All sorts of amendments were offered
to the bill, including propositions TO

belong to the dark ages There were
propositions to exempt from the OPP

When the vote was taken a shout Of

TO ROUND HOLLOW CHEEKS
Woman with sagging Face Should
Use skin-FoOd or Try Suction
Cup to Improve Contour.

The woman with what is known as
the sagging face can relieve her hag-
gard and old appearance by persistent
treatment before her own mirror.
This is done either by q combination
OF skin food and massage or by use Of
a suction cup. The best skin foods
all contain lanolin and many women
fear to use 1t because it has the repu-
tation Of growing hair. This danger
can be avoided IL the skin food Is
properly used. First, wash your face
thoroughly and dry it more than
thoroughly. Leave not a speck Of
moisture upon IL. Now apply the skin
food and massage well, using upward
and outward strokes, never downward.
Then wash out the skin food with
pure soap and water and dry thor
oughly. The reason a growth of hair
follows the use Of skin food is that
the pores are damp and the oil sticks

Mr.. Patterson refused to be bound by

HOW TO WASH THE FACE.
Cleanse Thoroughly at Night with
Hot Water-Cream Should Be
Preferred TO Soap.

All the CRIME Of the day should be
thoroughly removed at night and the
pores of the face allowed free breath

the next place, don't use soap and
water on the face any more than is
necessary. Now. | an sure many
soap-and-water fiends will exclaim:
"Oh, never can do without soap and
water" Well, those who want TO use
soap. and oftentimes hard or dirty
water, can do so, and when they get
good crop of wrinkles and large
pores they will wish they had taken
my advice. A learned physician once
took me TO task for advising cleans
ing cream for the face, and said he
always used soap and water. through
the day. and from the very fiorid con-
dition of his skin. and quite as many
wrinkles as his years would warrant,
/ could readily believe he used soap
and water, and not the best soap in
the world or the purest water.
When | compared his skin with a
dainty. perfectly clean little woman's.
with fine pores, clear, soft and DELI
cately tinted. who for years had used
only q cleansing cream. and a dainty
toilet water during the day. l then

ion. II is necessary to use certain

pie OF aiding the American merchant
marine by giving a bounty to ships
constructed in this country and sailed
under the American flag is to be rec
ignized. The bill that is likely to be-
come Law, It having already passed
me senate, does not make any great
draft upon the public funds. In fact for
several years none OF the present
revenues Of the treasury will have to
De touched, as the subsidy will be fur
nlshed by an additional tonnage tax
levied upon the vessels. The present
proposition only contemplates the
granting Of a bounty or subsidy for
ten years.
The one fact that appealed to con-
gress more than any other in favor
OF subsidizing the American merchant
marine is that less than ten per cent
o. our foreign commerce is carried
Under the American flag. The old
homely illustration of a merchant
hiring the delivery wagons Of a COM
peting firm to deliver his goods has
been used with good effect in pressing
the necessity of this country furnish
ing the ships that carry our commerce
&c the world.
This bill has been fought through
for years by Senators Frye Of Maine
and Gallinger Of New Hampshire, and
to them belongs much Of the credit II
1t becomes law. They found II DIFF
icult to arouse 4 sentiment in the
country outside the districts that are
interested in shipbuilding, but by their
persistent efforts they have finally
convinced the western wheat and cat
tie grower that it would be to his ad-
vantage to ship his products through
out the world under the American

RISES il on the ground that he is "a

came TO the senate the sticklers for
senatorial propriety, like the late
Senator Hoar of Massachusetts, and
Senator Platt of Connecticut, would
take Tillman to task for his almost
brutal form of speech when referring
&c his colleagues or government OIL
clals. The senator would promise to
be good. but on the next occasion his
temper would get the best of him and
he would spit out words that were pa
tently supplementary. The mentors
Of the senate got tired finally Of try
ing to reform the one-eyed iconoclast

Mr.. Tillman is row at home in his

considerable opposition has developed.
