CHANGE THEIR FACES.
Criminals Now Have Their Features
Altered BY a Doctor

From the New York World.
Expert criminologists who have made
the stigmata of degeneration their life
study, who can tell to Il nicely what
possibilities for crime lie behind the
mask ON which natures cunning hand
has limned the story of dark thoughts
and base desires, will be presently dis
counted by the most amazing oblitera-
ton of all vicious signs and symbols
that ever translated vice into the out
ward semblance of responsibility.
Heads of detective bureaus, not only
at the police headquarters of various
cities, but in those private detective
agencies which reap annual harvests
from the rich, whose remarkable men,
DRY for known criminals and perspicu-
ity in the recognition of guilt under
the parade of innocence have made
them the dread of all offenders, old
and new, will find themselves baffled
by strange metamorphosis.

be one of lost Identities. For the up

opportunities for evil-doing multiplied
a thousand-fold.
So steadily and quietly has this
work been carried on. so quickly has
the tip been passed, that it would
astound the authorities to learn to
what extent the famous rogues' gal
lery has been tempered with. Some
of its celebrities have completely faded
out of existence. Others remain only
in that puzzling half-likeness which is
often more deceiving than the change
entire. The manufacture OF new GRIM

In March, 1907, an act was passed in the
British parliament which created the first
savings bank and established a system
which has extended over large part of
the civilized globe. The United States,

time, was a little slower than some other

Simple and Attractive Salads.

An odd and pretty salad is made
of celery and apple. Instead of the
usual crescents and cubes, the celery
and apple are cut in long, narrow
straws, mixed lightly with mayon-
naise, and garnished with a fluffy bor-
der of watercress. Another salad is
potato and tomato. The freshly
cooked potato is cut in very small
pieces, placed in bowl with a slice
of onion. A French dressing is poured
over while the potato is warm and
whole allowed to stand for two hours
in a cool place. When ready to serve
a fresh tomato is peeled, carefully
scooped out, filed with the potato
mixture, and large spoonful Of
cooked dressing, to which whipped
cream has been added, placed on top.
