can almost eat and sleep with fine
dog winter and summer. But try not
to deceive myself about his intelli-
gence. 1t seems to me that if the dog
had the least spark Of wit akin TO our
own-that is, power Of reason-his
long association with man would have
famed It into a fame, however small.
But after all these thousands Of
years of human companionshlp and
love he has less wit in some respects
than his wild brothers, the fox and
the wolf Having been spared tue
struggle to live that falls to their lot,
his cunning and sagacity have deterio-
rated. The same is true Of the horse.
which has less intelligence than the
wild stallion Of the plains and for the
same reason.
These animals do not grow wiser as
they grow less wild. They do not civil
lie or develop. We train them into
certain ways that make them service
able to us; we humanize them without
adding to their mental capacity. In
other words, we cannot cross our In
telligence upon theirs and make II

Hands Age Rapidly.

A horrible revelation Is made in
publication devoted to scientific mat
ters. II is that hands age even
more rapidly than faces. So where
as women make every effort to pre-
serve the youthful aspect OF their
faces, they foolishly allow their
hands to giv them away. 1t is ex-
tremely disconcerting to think that
the observant eye Is not fixed on the
face, or even on the telltale chin, but
or the HAMS. There are ways, Tor
turately, by which their trcachery
can ne cirrmvented, but E-tcaut!ons
are more likely to be neglected in
their case :nan in that OF the face.

after the skins have undergone pro-

A Womans Unique Distinction.

Dr.. Wentchokoya, a Russian, who
studied and received her degree at
Zurich, mas, according to a report in
a Vienna PAPER, received an appoint
ment as a member of the faculty or
the University of Moscow. The wom-
an who has received this unique dis
tinction las made pathology her

especially remarkable because the
university which extended the call to
her admits no women rs students.

ROBERTS EXPRESSES
FEAR OF GERMANY
Field Marshal Makes Plea in
House of Lords for Increased
Standing Army
Noted Soldier Declares England
Could Be Easily Invaded
by Hostile Power

LONDON, Nov. 23.-Speaking in the
house of lords tonight Field Marshal
Lord Roberts expressed the conviction
that the lack of a military force suffl-
cient to make hopeless the attempt of
an invasion would in all probability be
the cause of loss OF Great Britain's S
supremacy at sea. In a studied speech
he pointed out the comparative ease
with which Germany could land an
army on the shores of England. Under
present conditions England would be
forced, he said, to submit 10 most hui
initiating demands.
He disclaimed all hostility to or fear
of Germany, but he declared that the
defense of the islands required immedi-
ate attention. There should be an army
so strong in numbers and efficient in
quality that the most formidable of
foreign nations would hesitate to make
a landing in England.
He had ascertained that vessels capa-
BILE of accommodating 200, 600 men al
ways were available in the northern
ports of Germany. and that as a result
of the new German service law 100000
men could be collected in the districts
of the nearest port without trouble

FIVE PERMITS GRANTED
In all FIVE japanese have been given
the restaurant liquor licenses. The
permits We're granted at an executive
session of the board on July 9, 1908.
This action was taken despite the fact
that a city ordinance had been adopted
in 1906 providing that no liquor licenses
should be granted TO aliens and that
such foreigners as held permits might
retain them only by announcing and
manifesting their intention to become
American citizens.
It appears that the usual police in
vestigation and invitation to the resi-
dents in the affected neighborhood to
approve or protest were eliminated
The power of approval and rejection
was delegated ia a great degree to the
japanese association.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN
Formula for Complexion Re-
storer 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 a 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:
Cologne Spirits; four ounces Sartoin
Put the Sartoin into a pint of hot water
mot 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 recep-
tacIe These ingredients are obtainable
from any well stocked druggist and
very easily mixed.
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 permanent.

Local board Of police commissioners was

Z Roosevelt The letter called upon the
president to maintain an adequate feet
tn the Pacific. and, in discussing the
japanese question. directed attention
10 the fact that subjects of the mikado
had been granted liquor licenses in de-
nance Of the municipal ordinance that
bars aliens from this traffic. Hobson
asserted that the unlawful concession
had been made 10 favor Of the orientals
at the solicitation of former Ambassa-
dor Aok and the Japanese consul gen
ersl in san francisco.
The exposure came As complete
surprise to the board and hasty ex-
plantations were offered Commissioner
Joseph Leggett president of the board,
said that he did not know that any at

that the legal question involved had
never been considered Commissioner
Cutler endeavored to maintain that
there had been no violation Of the law.
It appears that the licenses were showed

judicial opinion from the Office of
