Health and Beauty.

Pure, unadulterated cream. sweet
and fresh, is excellent for softening
and smoothing roughened skin.
Bran or starch sewed into bags and
put in the bath water for short while
before using it will render the water
soft.
Drinking a glass of water in which a
tablespoonful of cornmeal has been al
lowed to soak for few minutes regu-
lsrly three times day will help to clear
the complexion.
When the hands are dirty try adding
little sugar to the soap with which
they are washed. The sugar increases
the latber and also the cleansing power
of the soap and soon removes dirt and
stains.
A delightful complexion powder is
made thus; Two ounces each of zinc
oxide Of rice powder, one ounce each of
talcum and orris root. Tint with car
mine and perfume with oil of rose.

How Porlock Got Its Name.

In North Somerset, England. said
Henry Bradley, one might be told that
once upon time the devil and a giant
laid wager, the latter stalking his
soul. as to which could throw a stone
furthest. The giant threw his stone
four miles. but the devil beat him bv
a couple of yards, whereupon the giant
exclaimed: Poor luck!" and so the
place has been called Porlock ever
since"
Mr.. Bradley then instanced the cor
ruption of the word Kent (whose Brit
lsh name was Cantion) from a Welsh
word meaning open country. It was
possible that the word Canton was
derived from an old British word
meaning promontory. AS to London
the ancient name was Londinion
Llyn is Welsh for lake, and din for
town or fort What was more easy
asked Mr.. Bradley, than to explain
London as lake fortress? But it was
known that in British of the second
century the compound meaning lake
fort would have been Lindodunon. so
Llynddin would not explain Londinion
The only pathological explanation DOS
slole was that the place was called
after Briton named Londinos. mean

How France Deals with InebrIety.
(Cleveland Plain Dealer.l

They are alarmed in French Govern
ment circles over the increase in the
drinking habit and are disposed to
charge the alarming augmentation in
the number of lunatics to this cause.
1t is urged that fondness for drink is
exercising a generally deteriorating eff
feet on the nation, and for this reason
the French ministry is planning a Wig
orous campaign against the evil. Circu-
lars will be sent to the 40, 600 mayors of
France, in which they will be urged to
strictly enforce the ordinances covering
the offence of drunkenness. Under
these regulations the iaebriated one will
be fined from 20 cents to 81. If ne Of

While fourth offence involves n

clally aggravating features the accused
may be deprived of the right to hold

Morgan finally called upon President
Roosevelt and suggested that it would
be greatly in the public interest if he
would see anumber of railroad presidents
and confer with them as to what steps
might be taken to allay the public anxi-
ETY. as ia the relations between the rail
roads and the government.
The President agreed 10 meet the
railroad men, but what can he tell them
more than he has already said? He has
invariably declared that no corporation
need have any fear from him so long as
1t obeys the law. But he has also said
that the magnate riding in a private
car at the rear end of the train should
observe the law just as closely as the
fireman shoveling coal into the frebox
at the other end OF the train"
When asked on a certain occasion
what message he would send to organ
lied labor, ne replied: Take this mes
sage to organized labor: l intend TO
give a square deal to organized labor
and to unorganized labor and to capital,
too. ="
In MS last message to Congress he
said; Combination of capital, like COM
oinatlon of labor, is a necessary ele-
ment of our present industrial system
1t IS not possible completely to prevent
II; and If 1t were possible, such COM
plete prevention would do damage to
the body polite. What we need is not
va'nly to try to prevent all combination.
but to secure such rigorous and ade-
qlate control and supervision of the
combinations as to prevent their iniur-
ing the public, or existing in such form
rs inevitably to threaten injury.
OF railroads he went so far as to de-
clare that they should be permitted to
make agreements, provided these a
s0eements were sanctioned by the In
terstate Commerce Commission and
were published.
The President has never indicated
tnat he IS hostile to railroad CORPORA
tons or any other corporations that
obey the law and deal squarely.
The railroad presidents should have
made a compact with him when Mr..
Ripley advised them to do so. 1t is not
yet too late. Mr. Roosevelt has given
abundant proof that he does not wish to
nJure the railroads or any other legiti-
mate business carried on according to
law. But as the sworn executive he is
determined that the laws shall be obey
ed ano the public interest protected.
There is no mystery about his attitude
toward the corporations and toward the
public, but it will do no harm to make
new assurances that he does not intend
to run amuck.

The President and the Corporations.
(Richmond Times-DispatchO

(Richmond Times Dispatch
President Roosevelt must have had q
very sweet laugh all to himself when
Mr.. j. P. Morgan, of New York, was
announced.
In yesterdays paper we outlined an
article in Pearson's Magazine by James
Creelman, in which it was related that
when President Roosevelt h ID framed
his recent message, recommend np
railroad rate legislation, at the sugges-
ton of member of the administration
a conference of railroad presidents was
called to consider his recommendation.
Mr.. Ripley, of the Santa Fe, approved
the Presidents position, and urged the
other railroad men ''to throw aside all
minor considerations, recognize the
sound reformatory nature of the Presi-
dents ideas, and earnestly support and
promote the policy of government regu-
lation of railroad rates and the extinc-
ton of the rebate system" Mr.. Cas-
satt took the same position, but the
others declared their unalterable oppo-
sition, and, according to Creelman.
rave re president to understand that
they could whip him in Congress. ard
would fight it out before that body. /
Among those in opposition were Mr.. |
Mr.. Hill, Mr.. Newman and /
Mr.. Morgan. They defied the Presi-
lent, they made their fight, and they
ost.
In the meantime sentiment against
he railroads became so hostile that Mr..
