HOW TO ACQUIRE
A GOOD COMPLEXION


The latest style in compilations calls for
a skin that is creamy in tone. This can
not be produced by any powders or cos
metics, which are always plainly appar-
emit to every one, although some ladies'
try to deceive themselves with the idea
that they can apply powders without de-
lection. But they themselves are the
only ones fooled.
A prominent beauty doctor contributes
to our readers the following formula for
toilet preparation that is probably the
most effective known to the profession
for producing the rose tinted complexion
now so desirable and enabling the discon-
tinuance of all cosmetics and powders.
The formula is as follows:
Two ounces Rose Water, one ounce
Spirits of Cologne, four ounces crystal
lied Sartoin (slSin food. Put the Sartoin
into a pint of hot water mot boiling) and
when dissolved and cooled add the Rose
Water and Cologne Spirits; then strain
through fine cloth. Any large bottle
or fruit jar will serve as a receptacle,
providing it can be closed alright.
These ingredients can be gotten from
any well stocked druggist and easily
mixed.
1t should be applied daily and massaged
we'll into the skin. and is said TO pro-
duce truly remarkable results. Coming
from such good authority 1t is at least
worth thorough trial

LEGISLATURE
OF NEVADA
IN SESSION
SPARKS WOULD ORGANIZE A
RANGER FORCE
Governor Believes Trouble In Mining
District Would Be Prevented If
Proper Force of Officers
Is Provided
By Associated Press

By Associated Press
CARSON, New, Jan. 14-The special
session of the Nevada legislature called
by Governor Sparks met at noon today.
After organization Governor Sparks mes
says was read. He advocated the crea-
ton of a police ranger force to observe
order in the mining district.
The only important action taken was
the passage of a resolution referring all
bills that may be introduced relative to
state rangers, constabulary or military,
to a special joint committee consisting Of
the judiciary committee, with Senators
ode, Campbell Okane, Boyd and Pine;
the committee of military and Indian af-
fairs, consisting Of Senators Oddie, Mar
tin and Locklin, and the federal relations
committee, with Senators Brossmer, Eas-
ton and Hunter.
The governor will from day to day send
any special message that becomes neces-
sary.
There was no attempt to introduce any
measures in the assembly, and from the
action this morning 1t seems the senate
will take the lead in the matter Of regu-
lating the matter between mine owners
and the unions.
Governor Sparks, it is thought, will en-
deavor to influence the passage of a state
ranger law similar to that of Texas, as
he has the Texas law at hand and 1t
has been read to a number of the mem
bers 1t is likely to meet with strong OPP
position in the lower house, where the
labor unions have strong representa-
ton.
Senator Morehouse. formerly of Califor-
mia, now located in Goldheld, is in attend
ance, representing the Goldfeld chamber
of commerce. This organization is sup
porting Governor Sparks in his action.
Both houses adjourned until 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning.
A conference OF members of the senate
is to be held to consider bill for the
relief of the Goldheld situation. 1t Is
proposed to frame a bill similar TO the
Pennsylvania constabulary law. The
measure will call for the appointment OF
a state warden with power to appoint
deputies in time of need. The warden is
TO be appointed by the governor. Sucn
a bill was introduced last year by SEN
ator Boyd and was declared unconstitu-
tional. The bill is to be revamped ana
placed before the legislature.
There is a question as to the legallty
af the organization of the assembly. Inc
members, under a ruling from the at
torney general, organized without swear
ing in the speaker, Robert Skaggs'

Do You Enjoy Your Meals?
One Of the Nest Important Questions
to Consider in the Search for
Happiness and Health

The burning question to you is, Are
you getting out of life all the pleasure
and the health you are entitled tor If
not, why not?
No matter whether every organ and
member of your body is in sound state
of health and strength, If your stomach
is in any way disordered you are not
going to be yourself" You are going
to be a worried out-of-sorts, nervous or
sullen individual, whose actions will re-
fleet your condition inside, and people
will naturally avoid you.
The world wants to smile and be cheer
full, and unless you ere cheerful and
smile at least occasionally, you will have
few friends, fewer opportunities, no sue
cess, and you will go down in defeat--de-
feated by dyspepsia and bad stomach.
A good and thorough digestion has a
quick, wonderful reaction upon the brain.
You must have noticed 1t many times, for
the brain and stomach are as intimately
connected as a needle and its thread-one
can hardly be used to advantage without
the other. If your stomach is slow and
lazy in digesting your food, it will pro-
duce at once a slow, lazy and cloudy
influence upon your brain. Mark it, If
your stomach has absolutely quit work.
and fermentation is poisoning your vitals
as a result. surely your brain is going
to be sluggish and correspondingly de-
pressed. No one need tell you that
But why continue to suffer all the
miseries and torments that disordered
stomach brings you?
If your stomach cannot digest your
food what will? Where's the relief?
Where's the cure?
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the re-
lief and the cure Why? Because as all
stomach troubles arise from Indigestion
and because one ingredient of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets is able to THOR
ouGHLY and COMPLETELY DIGEST
5000 GRAINS of any kind of food, doesn't
it stand to reason that these little Dys-
pepsia Tablets are going to digest ALL
the food and whatever FOOD you put into
your stomach? Science nowadays can di-
gest food without having to use the
stomach for 1t. And Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are the result of this scientific
discovery. They digest and digest thor
oughly and well anything and everything
you eat.
So II your stomach refuses to work or
can't work. and you suffer from eructa-
tions. bloat. brash. fermentation, bilious
ness. sour stomach. heartburn. irritation
indigestion or dyspepsia of whatever
form, Just take one or two of Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets and ZEE the difference.
1t doesn't cost you much to prove II.
Then you can eat all you want, what you
want whenever you want. If you use
these tablets, and you can look the whole
world in the face with a beaming eye
and you will have a cheerful spirit. q
pleasant face, vigorous body and
clear mind and memory and everything
will look and taste delicious to you.
That's life
