OF Interest to Women
Formula for Complexion Re-
st0rer Popular Among
Social Leaders.

For classical features none compare
with American women, but as is we'll
known features count for little If not
accompanied by a good complexion.
This formula for toilet preparation
which. although very simple, is prob
ably the most popular now In use
among the ladies of the upper social
sets in our large cities, for the preserv-
alton of their highly priced complex
ions, is as follows:
Two ounces Of Rose Water. one ounce
Cologne Spirits, four ounces Sartoin
(crystalIized). Put the Sartoin into a
pint of hot water (not boiling) and
when dissolved and cooled add the
Rose Water and Cologne Spirits and
strain through a fine cloth. Any large
bottle will serve as a receptacle. These
ingredients are obtainable from any
we'll stocked druggist and very easily
mixed. Apply Immediately after wash
ing and to only portion of the skin
at time, using the bare hands. Never
use a cloth. After one part Is thus
treated proceed to another. This should
be done twice a day or oftener, and no
other lotion, powder or cream need be
used.
The results are said TO be truly re-
markable and commence to show after
the first few applications, but the treat
ment should be continued until the
rosy glow to the complexion is per-
manent.

CHINESE COMPLAINS
OF JAPANESE RIVALS
METHODS OF BUSINESS
Threatens to Drop FIatiron on Laun-
dryman's Head If SCOT Con-
tinues to lnjure Daily
Wash

''Alle samee, me want to see UNI cap
tain police. Me got UNI kick to make"
Charlie Sing, proprietor of laundry
at $50 South Olive street, thus an
nounced his business to a patrolman
at the central station yesterday. !,
Whats the matter. Charlie?' asked
the inquisitive cop.
20, that Japee man. He cause me
muche trouble" replied Charles. He
keep UNI laundry; use EN- stove. smoke
UNI fall on whitee shirtee-get UNI all
dirty. Charlie no can do. What for
say that Japee be let do such things
Charlie me no want trouble, but UNI
will drop UNI iron on Japee's head, If
UNI no stop"
Charles complaint was all about S.
Miyeyaika, Japanese owner of the
laundry run in the building adjoining
Charles place.
According to Charlie ne is very care
full with his customers goods, and each
day hangs a snow white wash on the
lnie. This is very fine, but when
Charlie goes to bring his wash in he
is, as a general thing, grief stricken
to find the wash covered with SCOT
and begrimed with dirt.
All this Charlie blames on Miyeyai-
ka, claiming the Japanese uses coke
in the stove on which he heats his
irons, and that the SCOT falls in vast
clouds from his chimney. He claims
he has been compelled to wash the
same bunch of garments as many as
six times, and fears he will lose his
customers unless he can get the gar
ments dry in time to deliver to his
customers before many more days
have passed.
Charlie was told word would be sent
Miyayaika requesting him to change
his brand of coal. but that Charlie
could take no criminal action against
him

GOVERNMENT TO REMOVE
MENACE TO NAVIGATION
Channel at Flood Rock viii Be Deep
ened and Obstacle Taken Out
That Broke the Back of
Steamer Whitney
q. A ssociated Press.


NEW YORK, May 26-To preclude
the possibility of such accidents as
that which happened to the Metropol-
itan line steamer III. M. Whitney.
which hast been aground at Flood
Rock, Hell Gate. the dangerous Long
Island sound entrance to the port of
New York, late Saturday, the engineer
corps of the United States army will
begin early in June the work of deep
ening the channel at that point. The
work must be completed in two years.
The rock which broke the back of the
Whitney is the principal menace to
navigation. 1t Is only eighteen fet I'M
der water. When the engineers get
through with it, 1t will have been
blown away to an average depth of
twenty-six feet, sufficient depth to
accommodate any vessel that may de-
sire to make the passage.
The work now to be attempted is the
most important in this vicinity since
the original blowing up of He'll Gate
two decades back. Congress has ap-
propriated $250O00 for 1t.
