HOT BRAN-WATER BATH.
It Makes Rough Skin Soft and
Pretty.

Fine skin is beauty that may be devel-
oped by careful bathing in bran water
and by the use of brush that causes
friction. The efficacy OF rubbing the flesh
with bristles is the increased circulation
OF the blood, while the bran used in the
water Is q benefit because it softens and
refines the skin.
The bran for a bath should be nut into
bags. for II used loose In the tub It will
clog the drain pipes. The bags for this
grain are easily made from cheese cloth.
They should be about six inches square.
The bran for them should be bought a..
the grocer's or in feed store. To make
the hran pleasant for use get half an
ounce of powdered orris to scent each
pound Of bran. Mix them and MI the
bags. 800

bags into the tub and let them soak if
Have the water tepid and keep the bags
in the tub. =a....-
In this bath one should stay for fifteen
minutes, adding more hot water If neces-
sary, but at no time should the tempera-
ture be more than warm.
Stay in Bath Fifteen Minutes.
At the end of fi..een minutes remove
the bags. then take any soap that has
been found to agree with the skin, rub
the brush well with it and scrub the
whole body. especially the arms and neck.
After this rub with the finger tips In
such a way as to try to remove the cd
cuticle. which by this time will be soft
and will easily come Off The actual time
Of bathing after beginning to use the
brush should not be more than five min
utes. otherwise one Will be In the water
too long.
Rub tine body briskly. using Turkish
towel to promote circulation. Then put
ON q cream made of one tablespoonful OF
sweet almond oil. one-half teaspoonful
of white vaseline. a lump of lanoline the
size Of hickory nut and ten drops OF
tincture of benzoin. 1t will be necessary
to melt. not to heat. the lanoline. Do
this by putting into silver spoon and
holding near gas or stove When liquid

until the pores will take no more.
Take Bath of Cream.
The bath and application of cream
should be taken only when going to bed
and every other night is sufficiently often.
Every morning rub again with a mix
ture of ene-third glycerine and two-thirds
rose water. with ten drops of carbolic
acid to half a pint of this combination
This is a simple lotion, but not even the
most elaborate is better.
II for any reason It is found impossible
to take the bath good rubbing with the
brush. keeping it quite dry. will be
found beneficial. This ''dry" bath should
be sufficiently brisk to bring the blood
to the surface, but not to be painful. The
application of creams may follow.

PEKING. November 27.-On account of
the failure Of the Peking syndicate, q
British corporation holding the largest
concessions China has ever given, and the
officials of Shansi province to reach a
compromise in the matter Of rights of
recovery" violence is threatened in the
province, and at Tiayuanfu the people are
renewing their demonstrations against the
syndicate. The syndicate recently pro-
posed to sell back to the Chinese govern
ment all its holdings in the province of
Shansi. This proposal was to some extent
due to the campaign in China against
foreigners holding concessions, and the
especial antipathy of the government to-
ward the British company. The claims of
the syndicate of sole rights over the i'm
mense mineral fields in Shansi so incensed
the Inhabitants that a rebellion was near
~ precipitated there last year.
Government Discredited.
Sir ]. NJ Jordan, the British minister to
China, has repeatedly requested the for
eign board to suppress the disorders in
Shansi. The syndicate charges that the
provincial authorities are distinctly anti
foreign. but this the authorities resent
fully deny. At the present moment the
negotiations are suspended. The foreign
board reflects the apathy of the govern
ment, which faces the most serious prob
lem of piacating Shansi and other prov
inces, where the discussions are in the
nature of retribution for the corrupt ap-
preparations by the government in the
past to its own ends and the giving away
Of vast properties which the people be-
lieved to belong to them.
The growth Of the propaganda for pro-
vincial rights has surprised the central
government; the movement promises to
attain national dimensions, and the pres
ent ministry has become discredited
thereby. Representatives of the provin-
cial authorities are now at Picking and

WHERE FASHION COMES FROM.
Discoveries Of New Colors and Shades

For weeks and months past many acute

explained to me In close detail some time
ago by the head of one of the ladies' firms
with whom I happened to come in contact
The man who has the commission to find
new color wanders in gardens and over
fields and moors for the sole purpose of
finding such. There are suggestions to
him at every turn: but for one reason or
another they are rejected time after
wandering. his eye lights happily on the
looked-for tint. Perhaps 1t was In q
garden that he found 1t. and then he has
very likely days OF work in sitting beside

Heavy Jewelry.

EEOu NOSut
1t is to be regretted that heavy style of
jewelry has recently been made the fash
ion in London and Paris. for it is to be
feared that next winter we shall see signs
of our smart jewelers. following this lead
American styles Of setting jewels and the
character of jewelry from America have
long earned such high praise everywhere
for lightness and grace and artistic beauty
that one cannot welcome a change that
is SO foreign to our tastes It is to be
hoped that In spite of fashions abroad we
shall live up to what is really beautiful,
and cling to our own good taste. The
craze for large precious stones is account
able for these heavy settings. which it
must be confessed are appropriate True
beauty has to be sacrificed for such bar
barrie possessions without any redeeming
feature to excuse 1t. except In having the
world know that SO many carats mean a
value OF so many thousand dollars.

Representative Livingston Urges
Restoration Of State Bank Issues.
Let US just use little common sense
in dealing with the financial situation in
which the country finds itself today" said
Representative Livingston. democrat, Of
Georgia, up at the Capitol this morning
Mr.. Livingston has served for six years
on the House committee on appropria-
tfons. and il the minority leader Of the
committee. He has given considerable
time to study of finance. and has been
particularly interested in the recent de-
velopments on account Of the scarcity OF
money In ms state. which has prevented
the moving Of thousands Of bales of cot
ton.

Secretary Cortelyou to relieve the situa-
tion." he went on to say to a Star re-
porter, but leaving that out of the
question 1 will say that In my opinion

for the money stringency. There are
three remedies which believe are open
to Congress. One is to authorize an issue
Of 500. 900 600 In treasury notes. $1.O00.OO0
to be issued at time. with say an inter
val of thirty days between. until the con-
ditions are improved. This would force
out Into circulation much currency now
being boarded. Another method would be
to permit national banks to loan their
reserve on real estate to one-half its
value. and hold the mortgages in their
vaults instead of the currency. a4er
But best of all. in my opinion, would
be the removal OF the 10 per cent tax on
state issues, in order to allow the states
to come to the rescue in local troubles
We of the south and the men Of the mid
die west, where there are immense crops
to move. need money at this time OF the
year and need it badly. This financial
strtngency hits US. and hits hard There
Is no good reason that I can see that
should prevent Congress from permitting
each state to supply it's own money, duly
secured by its property. to its own suf-
fering citizens. Conditions all over the
country are scarcely ever the same at
