EANSING LOTIONS
FOR WASHING THE FACE

To preyent the ravages of wind, dirt
and cold upon the complexion use some
simple skin wash. substituting 1t LOT
water. The benefit of such lotions lies
In the fact that they cleanse without
driving or hardening the. skin. and IN
many instances soften and refine 1t. Such
a wash made from fresh lemon juice
rain water, etc, is excellent. Dut 10 get
the best results it should be fresh ever!
two days. 1t consists OF tablespoonful
of fresh lemon juice, half a pint OF ram
water and a few drops of altar of roses.
Rose water may be substituted for ram
water.
These ingredients are vigorously shaken
and nut on with thin piece OF musiln.
This cloth must be constantly turned SO
that when mopping the face and neck the
old dirt is not rubbed into the skin again.
THE surface should be wiped several tunes
and finally dried with soft ciotn
should this be used as SUBSTITUTE LOT

eves different treatment, in order to Keep
them properly cleansed. A weak soIution
of boracic acid is always good. dissolVlng

Wash Skin in Cucumber Juice.
Every one knows that cucumber juice
is an excellent astringent and bleach. but
many girls do not realize how simply 1t
NAV be made. The vegetable Is washed
and dried, then cut in tiny pieces, skin
and all. This is put into clean sauce
nan and about a teaspoonful Of water is
added. The whole then goes over slight
heat until the vegetable juice begins to be
extracted. when it can be subjected to a
hotter part of the fire. AS soon as the
LIQUID begins to simmer it should be re-
moved and pressed through bit of
cheese CLOTH. The juice that is extracted
is bottled, but left to cool. and when cold
is diluted with twice the quantity Of
water.
It is used in the same way as the lemon
Juice preparation. Should it appear to
drv the skin a teaspoonful of glycerin
may be put with half pint of the lotion.
1t is not to be expected that either of
these will make the complexion white and
clear over night. Their effect will not be
perceptible from week to weak. but there
is no question that constant application
will render the skin finer. and that at the
end of six months its condition will be de-
cidedly improved.

Found Brother Yorkshireman.

William Woodhead, business man
ager of the Sunset magazine, is a
Yorkshireman, and prides himself on
the fact that though there are great
many woodenheads in this country
there are few Woodheads. Acting on
this supposition he was much in
censed at receiving certain confiden
tial letters from some fair unknown
which being opened by his stenogra
pher and passed on to him with a re
proving air embarrassed him so that
he had to offer explanations.
'This is getting too much" ex
claimed Woodhead, when he received
another letter.
Let me look at that envelope. Why
it is addressed to a man on the sec
ond floor and just think. He has my
name"
Investigation brought up another
William Woodhead, a Pinkerton de
tective. He, too, was from Yorkshire
and was born in a town 20 miles dis
tant from the town where the first
William Woodhead was born, and both
their fathers were named John.
The Sunset magazine people tremble
to think what would have happened to
the other Woodhead if he had been
born anywhere else but Yorkshire.

TO SAVE FORESTS.
School of Forestry to Be Opened
Where Wood Is Scarce.


The Chinese are saving their
forests. The almost worldwide
movement to protect and estab-
lish forests has reached the Celes-
tial empire, and the first Chinese
school of forestry shortly will be
opened in Mukden.
The Chinese realm sometimes
is pointed out as the worst ex-
ample among modern nations Of
forest destruction. The floods
which periodically are poured
down from the denuded noun
tains are destructive beyond COM
parison with those of any other
country, and the want of forests
is assigned as the chief cause.
Wood is scarcer in China than
in almost any other inhabited re-
gion of the world, although the
country is we'll adapted to the
growing of trees. In the estab-
lishhent of forest school the
Chinese government, gives evi-
1ence that it realizes the need of
beginning its reforestation in a
scientific manner.

New Drink in Georgia.

The first of the prohibition
drinks made its debut in Atlanta
Wednesday morning, and it is
understood that several others are
to follow. The new drink, which
looks like lager beer, smells like
it and foams like it. is called
Jack Frost"
Soda founts which had "Jack
Frost" on draught Wednesday
soon sold out their supplies, for
there were many who were GU
rious to sample legal beer. The
drink is non-alcoholic. according
to it's manufacturers, and is made
like other soda fountain bever-
ages from the syrup, with car
donated water added.
Even the old red nosed topers,
who found their favorite hauurs
closed New Years morning, were
casting about for a substitute for
the amber fluid with which they
were wont to regale themselves,
and they eagerly sampled the new
prohibition drink.

Violets open at and a. m, clos

Wheat flowers last only about fif-
teen or twenty minutes, just long
enough for their pollen to be carried
by the passing wind, then their day
is past. The hibiscus and calandrinia
remain open for only three or four

There are orchids which throw their
insect visitors into shower bath of
water so they have to get out, by rea-
son of their wet wings, up a certain
path where they touch the pollen
masses and stigma. There are other
orchids which throw the pollen masses

of moth lives wholly upon it. When
the flower opens this moth proceeds to
knead up ball of pollen and inside
places an egg, then thrusts the ball
down into the ovary of the flower.
There a grub develops from the egg
and eats the pollen and some of the
pollen fertilizes the young seed. If
yuccas die out the moth would be ex-
terminated, and if the moths were de-
stroyed no yuccas would ever set their
seed.

trouble on the wire and the last word

asked to repeat and then to spell ii
backward. This he did, first "alone,"
then ''enola." In this way the town,
which was built to order in little
more than two years, got it's name.

AN AUTO AND
AN AUTOCRAT
By JASPER B. coWDIN
Copyright. by shortstory Pub. Coz


1t was on the big white steamer,
Pontiac, which was slowly making it's
way on Lake Erie from the Straits
to Ogdensburgh, that Malcolm Elliot
made the acquaintance of Varina
Brentwood. Both were summer tour
lists, the latter travelling with her par
ents, and long before the steamer
reached Thorold Malcolm had lost
his heart to the pretty, blue-eyed maid.
At Thorold a string of automobiles
stood in waiting, the chauffeurs offer
ing for trifle to convey the passen-
gers to Niagara Falls and return.
There was ample time for the trip, as
the Pontiac had reached the brow of a
long hill which would require hours
for it's descent through the stairway of
locks to the valley below.
Many of the tourists hailed with de-
light this opportunity of getting away
for time from their cramped quar-
ters, and, amid laughter and autter
of white, they were whisked away.
Malcolm and Miss Brentwood oc-
cupied seat in the last surrey Of the
gay procession, while in front sat Miss
Applewhite, friend Of Varina, with
her fiance, Sidney Lane.
The bracing ozone of September and
the shifting foliage, already taking on
it's glory of red and gold, impaired
zest and enthusiasm to the party. Aft
er taking in the customary sights
about the Horseshoe falls and along
the Canadian Gorge, they turned back
in satisfied state of mind.
Malcolm had tipped off the chauf'
feur to take it easy" and the auto
soon dropped behind the rest AS for
Miss Brentwood's beauty, it was sim
ply radiant, set off by poppy-red
gown of transparent fimsiness, and
she and Malcolm occupied the rear
seat, quite safe from observation, they
took little note Of the constantly
changing panorama of wood and field,
gazing rather at the scenery in each
others eyes. A thrill of something
very akin to love electrified the stall

intervals when Varina's tiny hand

Miss Applewhite and her fiance on
the front seat were also suffi GENTLY in

ally they threw back a glance or a
laughing comment.
Suddenly, from a wayside thicket,
sprang out man who, taking a stand
in the middle of the road, waved his
arms frantically.
The auto, of course, came to an
abrupt stop.

manded the stranger, pointing a six.
shooter with one hand, while the 9th

There was nothing for it but to

BLACK FOREST CUSTOMS
Youngest Son Inherits Property
and Cares for Old Folks.

and Cares for Old Folks.
The peasant farms of the Black
Forest are handed down from
father to son in a direct line,
often dating back 400 years.
There is no division as in
France; all falls to the heir, only
here it is not the eldest but the
youngest son who inherits. 1t is
rare that Bur (peasant) dies as
reigning head. When he gets on
in years he abdicates, in order to
end his days in the Leibgedinge-
haus (dower house,, which stands
beside each Hof (steading).
That he does so in favor of his
Youngest son is very sensible
were it the elder he would have
no peace, for as soon as he mar
ried he would try, to induce his
parents to retire Just at an age
when power is sweetest and best
exercised. For this reason the
practical farmers of bygone gen
erations decided to hand over the
succession to the youngest since
when Benjamin is a full grown
man father Jacob is old and glad
to rest.
This law of inheritance goes by
the name of Vortel. Should the
heir of his own free will desire to
resign in favor of his elder broth
er the latter must buy the prop
erty from him. In such a case
the younger may be- termed a
kind of Esau.
