and Assessments has prepared bill adding a
section to real property law designed 10 ob-
tain a statement OF the true consideration for
transfers of real estate. In commenting on the
features of the BILL which will be introduced by

the value of real estate. Any practice which
checks the diffsuion of real estate ownership Is
detriment TO the community 1t Is impossible to

sderafions for transfers were known. Ignorance
OF true considerations among the most expert real

than its value for property acquired by purchase
condemnation The bill has been carefully pre-

of buyers and sellers OF real property 1t provides
three methods:

Albany. Feb. 1.-THE Owens bill, which was the
object of much censure last year, because it pro-
posed to give away in perpetuity subsurface rights

New York Central wanted unanimously re-
ported TO the Senate Cities Committee to-day.
In its present shape the bill is much less drastic
and probably less Objectionable than last years

WHEN rHz SKIS 10 OILY.
Use Of Preparation and kiassaglna Is
the Only Reme4y.


Here is sage aGFice fer the woman
with an oily face:
Tay strict attention to your diet.
Abstain absolutely frcm rich and
greasy food.
Each night. after cleansing the face
with Z cleansing cream, which YOU
must apply and remove with a rotary
motion, use this lotion;
Eldcrdower water .................. ounces
Eau dc Cologne. --..................h ounce
Tincture Of benzain ....-......... dram
cucumber juice ............ ..-...... ounce
1s--.l., acid ...-...........-......-..l9 grains
In the morning battle the face with
hot and cold water alternately; into
the last cold water put a drop or two
o. benzoin. Once each week treat the
face according 70 these directions:
Apply the cleansing cream all over
the face and throat with the tips OF
the fingers; wipe off at once with a
soft towel Steam the face for ten
minutes. dry and apply the massage
cream.
With the tips of the fingers mas
sage the forehead from temple TO
temple with a rotary motion, then
slide down TO the chin and work up
ward from the chin close to the side
CT the nose to the eyes. Slide down
again, each time little further back
and repeat the molten until the entire
face has been covered.
Next work under the eyes with the
middle finger from the nose outward
to the corners of the eyes. Pay spe-
clal attention 10 the deepest lines
Remember that the movement should
be rotary and always up and out to-
ward the ears. Massage for Is min
utes, wipe cream all OFF carefully
dampe1 the end of a towel with the
toilet water and wipe the face with
same. Finish by using a little good
powder
When the e are blackteads they
should be removed Immediately after
the steaming with a little instrument
which comes for the purpose. The
face should not be steamed mere than
once a week; it can be massaged as
often as necessary.
When treating fer pinples, the
rimpla cream should be used for the
massage. Fer wrinkles, use the rogu.
lar massage cream.
Remember t&at massage cannot b.
learned theoretically and can never
be given as well by oneself as by an
other, but these who cannot secure
the services Of an expert will find the
above directions very helpful.

Love.

Love is the only bow on life's dark
cloud 1t is the morning and evening
star. 1t shines on the babe, and
sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb.
1t is the mother Of art; inspirer of
poet, patriot and philosopher. 1t is
the air and light of every heart build
er of every home; kinder of every
fire on the hearth; 1t was the first
dress of immortality. 1t fills the world
with melody, for music is the voice Of
love Love is the magician, the en-
chanter that changes worthless things
- joy, and makes right royal queens
and kings of common clay. 1t is the
perfume Of that wonderful flower. the
heart, and without that sacred pas
sion, that divine swoon, we are less
than beasts; but with Hearth is
heaven and we are gOds-Robert G.

COMMON LOT OF ALL MANKIND
Who Is There Among Us Who Can
Escape from Worry

Calmness and serenity are recon-
mended for almost everything In these
days Horace Fletcher considers
these qualities even more important
than chewing. in the attainment of
health. The beauty doctors say that
no cosmetics will avail to prevent
wrinkles and preserve youth without
calmness and serenity, and they are
said to be the most potent Of all
charms IN her who would be pleasing
TO the opposite sex BE serene,
sweet maid" says the authorities;
'let who will be viyacious"
1t all sounds very simple, but in
order TO follow such advice 1t would
be necessary TO be hermit, and then
what would be the use Of being wen
or beautiful or attractive? How can
anyone be serene who plays golf, or
las cantankerous relatives. who wants
to argue about woman suffrage or re-
ligiOn. or who has not sure and Ger
tain and adequate income? Man that
IS born Of woman Is born to worry, as
the sparks fly upward. and It is only
adding irritation to his other woes
TO tell him that all good things may
be his If he will only be serene.
