complexion is very becoming to a person.
Probably you would look queer If your

all, do not experiment with patent face

Why do you not try another brand of
stove polish. Or have you tried several
and experienced the same results?

should never be washed in water. Please

A READER.
Soap and soda soften the bristles of a
brush. A tablespoonful Of ammonia in a
quart of warm water is sufficiently cleans
ing. Combs should not be washed if it
can be avoided. as water is apt to split
the teeth. They can be kept clean with
a small brush which is sold for the pur-
pose.

Walk down Market street a little
distance and you will behold a Santa
Claus in complete costume, standing be-
side a miniature chimney. You will
look at him for a moment, wondering
what is wrong, and then you will sud
denly discover that the whole outfit,
Santa, chimney and all, is brown, with
not a sign of the cheerful red which
has been associated with the dear old
saint as far back as our grandmothers
can remember.
But as long as his heart remain the
same we'll not complain. Only let us
hope that the children will not take to
comparing him with his pictures, as
they appear in their books. They
might be slightly disappointed.

NUTRITIOUS PROPERTIES
OF CURRANTS AS A FOOD.
The Latest Beauty Food.

According to the dictum of an English diet
specialists, a free use Of currants In daily
food is one of the most effective means of
producing a clear, rosy complexion. Cur
rants seem also to satisfy the craving both
for strong acids and sweets, which are re-
sponsible for many muddy, or coarse COM
plexions. Besides possessing the incl
dental advantage of a beauty foody cur
rants are known to be the most nutritious
of all fruits. as they consist almost wholly
of grape sugar in the form that is en-
tirely assimilated during digestion. As a
consequence Of a wide dissemination of
these facts through physicians and special-
lists, the use of currant bread in England
has become almost as common as that Of
ordinary wheat bread.
Another "An-SuRicient Food"
Currant bread made in the proportions
of about three parts of currants to seven
parts of dough, has been found, upon
analysis, TO contain every ingredient neces-
sary to complete human nourishment. To
the food values of the flour, the currants
add their 70 per cent. Of sugar in its most
valuable form, known as 'invert sugar, a
composite of dextrose and levulose. which
is potential in producing and maintaining
energy and vitality. Sir Francis Laking.
hNhtS ANFNi0 oiAOu phyclCluuf recently
pointed out in an article In the Scientific
American that currants also assist diges-
ton, allay nervous excitement and provide
against nervous exhaustion.

JAP hESE MUCH EXCITED

for Political Effect.

Victoria. B. c., July 13.-Officers of the
steamer Tartar, which arrived today from
Japan, reported that much excitement pre-
vailed when the steamer left Yokohama,
in consequence of the situation that had
arisen regarding the United States. Many
interviews were published in the Japa-
nese press, many of them extremely jingo-
iStic.
Count Itagaki, formerly home minister
and prominent Japanese statesman, in an
interview published at Toxic, said:
'Warships should be mustered in Toxic
bay and Japan should confront America
in solving this question by presenting an
attitude to meet Americans in fire forth
with If they reject the just and legitimate
demands of Japan"
Count Okuma, with whom Count Itaga-
XII formed a coalition government years
ago, also advocates stern measures in an
interview published by the Jill Shimpo
He says Japan has become a power and
relations with America are on a footing
befitting her new position and the ten
dency to treat Japanese as an inferior
people must not be tolerated.

SCALES BREAK AT BABY SHOW AND
MOTHERS SCOFF AT JUDGES AWARD

Strife, disputes and a narrowly averted
riot were the features of the baby show at
Wandamere yesterday. There were about
400 babies on exhibition and twice as
many mothers and other interested and
disinterested parties who watched the ex-
hibition. The afternoon was spent in
weighing the babies Loving cups were
given to the lightest, the heaviest and the
prettieSt babies on the grounds. The age
limit was four years.
Trouble came in the contest for the
heaviest baby. All the youngsters on the
grounds were collected in the dancing pa
vilion. They were of all sizes and shades
Of pink and white. Some were in their
mothers arms, others hung out of car
riages, others were pushed in go-carts
and there were still some who were able
to toddle across the floor. After the ris-
ing generation had spent about an hour
in which all laughed when one laughed
and all cried when one cried, pair of
scales were finally fixed up and a sheet
attached to weigh the anxious babies in
They were put in one by one for about
three hours. when Dorothy Dickerson at
ten pounds was declared the lightest baby
and Edward Brien, forty pounds as the
heaviest baby. The contest was about 10
close and the friends of Baby O'Brfen
were congratulating him, when. only a
minute before the contest closed the
mother of Rudger Grither placed him on
the scales. Just as he was put on there
was a sharp snap in the scales and down
went baby, cradle and all. The fact that
the baby was yelling on the floor made
no difference-the judges had pronounced
the Grither youngster heavier than the
O'Brien baby. a wild uproar went I'D
from the women. They tried to get in the
four-foot space where the judges were
standing and there was an incipient riot
