How to Become
Beautiful

When the delicate skin of the face is
exposed to the wind and outside atrnos,
phere it becomes roughened. At hrst,
the roughness is too minute to be de-
tected by the naked eye; but under a
microscope can be plainly seen. This
roughening, increased by repeated ex-
posure, finally results in a complete
change in the appearance OF the skin
a change for the worse. In time, the
velvety softness Of the skin disappears
and the fresh bloom Of the complex
ion is gone.
Cold cream, powder and rouge sim
ply cover the trouble temporarily
they do not cure it. If you would re-
gain the fresh, delicate bloom Of your
complexion, obtain the following from
any drug store and apply it daily t.
your face:
Rose Water, 2 ounces; Cologne Spir-
its, / ounce; Eppotone (skin food), 4
ounces. Put the Eppotone in a pint of
hot water (not boiling), and after dis
solved, strain and let cool Then add
the Rose Water and Cologne Spirits.
1t is best to make the preparation at
home and follow the directions care
fully.
This wash makes the skin as soft
and delicate as that Of a baby and
gives the fine, delightful glow of health,
that is the heritage of youth but so
rare in the woman of thirty. 1t Is not
only entirely harmless, but is soothing
to the tenderest skin. Drop in at the
druggists today or phone for 1t, and
Won will have no further need of face
powders or rouge.

AMERICAN ARTISTS IN LEAD
They Have Largest Number of
Pictures in This Years
Salon in Paris.

PARIS. April 29-President Fallieres, ac-
companied by the representatives in France
Of foreign nations, including Henry White,
the American ambassador, this afternoon
inaugurated the spring salon of the Society
Of French Artists in the Grand Palais.
1t is the unanimous verdict Of the critics
that the exhibition of paintings and sculp-
lures surpasses any seen in dozen years.
America, for the first time leads all foreign
countries, both in the number and in the
excellence OF works displayed. This is
recognized and prominent place has been
accorded the American canvases. England
secures second place.
The entire exposition is remarkable for
the uniformly high standard of the works.
Only 1,SOO pictures are shown. the jury
having ruthleasly rejected those of over
400 aspirants. All paintings of the de-
cadent or the impressionst schools have
been vigorously excluded.
The sensation of the salon Is a huge
canvas by william Lamparra, who won
the Prtx de Rome last year. The painting
originally was entitled Grandeur Mill
taire," but this subsequently was changed
to lie Pedestal"
Perhaps the most artistic bit of canvas
Is that of Joseph Bait which shows two
nuns in convent, Marquis de Went
worth's portrait OF President Roosevelt
ranks among the best portraits, while Her
bert Wards Idol and S. L. Fry's Indian
Chief" executed for the City of Oskaloosa,
are among the best pieces of 'pture.

BURLINGTON WINS ONE POINT
Railroad Company Escapes Suit Be-
cause Not Legally Registered
in Pennsylvania.

WASHINGTON, April 29-In an opinion
by Justice Moody the supreme court OF
the United States today decided the case
Of Robert G. Green, a citizen Of Pennsyl-
vania, against the Burlington Railway
company, adversely to Green. This was
an action to recover 100000 damages on
account of injuries sustained by Green in
railway accident at Brush, Colo, in
September, 1905. The suit was instituted
in a federal court in Pennsylvania, but
that court refused to entertain It on the
ground that Burlington is not legally doing
business In that district, because II was
registered in Pennsylvania as the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy Railroad company
and not by it's later name, the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy Railway company.
That decision was affirmed by today's de-
cision, Justice Moody saying:
THE question here is whether service
upon the agents was sufficient, and one
element OF its sufficiency is whether the
facts show that the defendant corporation
was doing business within the district II
is obvious that the defendant was doing
there a considerable business of a certain
kind, although there was no carriage OF
freight or passengers.
THE business shown In this case was
in substance nothing more than that OF
solicitation. Without undertaking 70
formulate any general rule defining what
transactions will constitute doing business
in the sense that liability TO service is in
CURED, we think that this IS not enough
TO bring the defendant within the district
so that process can be served upon IT,"
