HOME HAIR DRESSING.
Every Woman Should Adopt Style
Best Suited to Her Face

Neatness and evidence of care are
the first and foremost rules which
prevail at present.
These are some good general rules
to follow in the choice OF becom-
ing hairdressing:
For long thin face. the arrange
inent OF the hair should be full and
round, and, II possible, the coils
should just show from behind the
ears. The nape of the neck should
also be filled as much as possible,
and softly waving or curling the
hair will improve the appearance.
For n sharp featured face the hair
should be arranged loosely, and at
the back rather than at the top of
the head.
A round, chubby face looks best
With the hair arranged in a narrow
style at the back and well carried

Washing Knives Right.

Never put the handle of knives
into the water, for thus the handle
would be discolored and the blade
loosened. Intead, dip each blade
into hot water with soda and dry It
at once. Another method is to have
o large TIN or basin with a tin or
wooden cover. In the cover slits are
cut, through which the blades OF
the knives pass to the water, while
their handles rest on the top.

An Expcrt's Tea Rule

Use only freshly boiled water:
water for making tea should never
be boiled twice. When water Is
boiling hard ESQ that steam comes
out of the nozzle of the kettle fu-
I'ously), scald out the teapot, put
In one generous teaspoonful of tea
for each person, and one for the
pot. Stand the teapot in a warm
place and allow the tea to draw five
and ons-half minutes, then stir, and
allow it to settle, say, one-half min.

REPLY TO Mr.. TROPuc.
Pensacola, August II.


Editor Pensacola Journal:
Kindly allow me space in your col
umns for a brief reply to an article
from the pen of r. +. TropUc. He
tells us that he is entirely disinterest
ed in the liquor business, and l am
glad to be able to say the SAME about
myself
At the age of seven, saw poor
old bloated, bloodsnot, blear-eyed
drunken sot crawl out from a hiding
place and steal a mans whip from
his wagon to pawn it for whiskey, and
| concluded that | would rather be
president than a whiskey dealer.
Having been through prohibition
campaigns before, / have heard all
the hackneyed arguments that could
be raked up against prohibition, and
there does not appear to be much
difficulty in meeting them.
One argument they will make is
that it will throw men out of bust
ness who know no other business tc
engage in. To this we will reply
that those who have been in the bust
ness all their lives must be pretty
well fixed by this time, and those
who have not been so very long
must have been in some other bust
ness to make the money to start the
saloon business.
Then, again, there are others who
have thrown up good job at good
salary for the purpose OF going into
the saloon business. 1t requires some
money to go into the business, and
if the saloon men would put their
heads and money together and start
some good factories and make some
of the thousand and one things
which have to be brought here instead
of sending hundreds of thousands Of
dollars away to make Milwaukee and
other places famous, 1t would 20 z

VOX POPULI
STREET RAILWAY GRANT.
Pensacola, Aug. II, 1907.

Editor Pensacola Journal:
The people, versus, the Pensacola
Electric Co., has been fought out be-
fore the Give-away-Commi of the
City Council, in the matter of the
middle of Garden street, the people
have won out, and the Pensacola Elec-
trio Company has won in.
AS many people, As the room would
hold appeared before the Give-away-
Cmomittee at its first meeting upon
the subject to protest against the Civ
ing away of the middle of Garden
street to the Pensacola Electric Com
pany to place it's tracks upon, urging
that the center Of the street should
be parked and beautified, as well as
to temper the intense heat that would
othrwise necessarily accumulate upon
SO wide a street if paved; upon the
other side opposed to the dear peO-
pie appeared one person in the inter
est of the Pensacola Electric Com
pany, their attorney, who filled one
chair in the same room. The issue
was made up then and there. The
people told the Give-away-Committee
to keep their hands off the middle of
Garden street The Pensacola Elec-
trio Company asked the Give-away-
Committee to permit it the manipu-
lation of that piece of sacred soil
The Give-away-Committee gave the
dear people a respectful hearing, for
which the dear people render many
thanks for that much. 1t then got

most politely, passed over the plum

trating indeed.
The dear people were mistaken in
presuming they had any say about
Garden street To appear before the
little tin gods enthroned to plead for
their own, was the aerial flight of au-
dacity, a dreaming fantasy What a
troublesome thing the dear people
are to be sure, to ask for parks and
other non-sensical things about town
when railway company is yearning
for something else!
And so the Give-away- Committee
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1907-08-18

has stuck it's ultimatum upon the
wire file of the City Council; and the
decree has gone forth that the Pen
sacola Electric Company shall be
granted the use of the middle of
Garden street, instead of the sides
of the street, to run its canary-hum-
ming coaches upon; that the dear
people, who need tutalage and a
good spanking for protesting, or
claiming any right to bunch of grass
stuck full Of trees, shall be permitted
to gaze upon the gay electric scene,
and there you are my dear people
peacefully slumbering in the lap OF
the City Council, who now stand
aligned to hear your prayer. Do the
peoples prayers ever reach heaven?
Wait until after the meeting of the
next City Council.

long way towards making Pensacola

long way towards making Pensacola

AS to the plea for more time to
prepare for getting out Of the bust
ness, it scarcely seems that they
would need more than few months
supply of goods on hand, and by sell
ing at cost. and the margin of profits,
would cause the goods to vanish like
dew in the sunshine. All the fixtures
could be disposed of, as well, after
giving up business as before. All
buildings and most of the fixtures
could be used in other branches Of
business, and those that could not
would need to be sent to other places,
so that this plea does not seem to
be necessary.
Another plea is that it would cause
the tax rate to be higher This brings
UP the question: Shall we tax the
poor laboring man to relieve the rich
real estate owner, for this is what it
amounts to, and is scheme by which
the saloon man collects taxes from
those poor men, which the tax col
lector cannot reach. 1t may be con-
tended that some men who pay taxes
also drink whiskey. This would be
all right. for if they quit drinking
JDSy pay W JUt TAX COiiSCIOi
instead OF the saloon man.
One new idea that we had not
heard before is that 1t is a great
wrong to allow men TO vote who have
no taxes to pay. This seems to be
about the limit. This would lead back
to Imperialism by the shortest route.
This is what some men would like to
see in this country, as well as in Rus
STA hJIt the saloon business goes
ahead of that, as II deprives the poor
man of his vote and makes him pay
taxes besides.
Our friend, Mr.. Tropuc. seems to
have had quite an experience with
blind tigers. We have never come
In contact with real live tiger, but
if we should, we would prefer to have
him blind, which would afford US
some kind of a chance to save our
bacon. 1t would be a satisfaction to
know our friend came to be so much
interested in finding out these blind
tigers when the police officers failed
to locate them. This question has a
serious side TO it as well as ride
ulous one. The serious part of the
question is: Has popular government
proved a failure? Are the people in
capable of governing themselves?
The object which Mr.. Tropuc has
in showing up this blind tiger bust
ness is to show that a law to pro-
hibit only makes the matter far worse.
This is considered a clinching argu-
ment. IL this idea is carried out. IL
would prove the necessity of abolish
ing all law and all government. This
would prove that law was the cause
