There is no doubt that many of the

accumulation of grease, for they are

TO STEAM FACE

And she steamed all the skin off
her nose" concluded the kimono ora
tor. There was dreadful chorus of
tragic "Oh's" interspersed with few
little squeals, after which a voice
from the depths of the couch said:
F. well, If the skin on my nose was
like some peoples I'd want to steam
1t of"
Il don't believe she did 1t the right
way" broke in another. 81 cured my
self of blackheads by steaming, and
the skin never came off of my nose"
do tell us how" cried the chorus.
We'll, the work Is mostly in getting
ready. You must have plenty of hot
water first. Then, right side of the
set bowl there must be table with
a wash basin full of ice water. It's
really best to have some ice floating
round in it."
Il should think you were telling us
how to freeze our faces" interrupted
one of the kimono-clad audience.
We'll, it's very necessary to close
the pores WITH" replied the beauty in
structor. Then you must have two
big bath towels and a jar of cold
cream.
Fill the basin with hot water, fold
one OF the towels very thick and dip
1t in. Pull 1t out by the corners and
lay it on the other towel, which is also
folded just large enough to cover the
face, edges and ALL Pick the whole
thing up and hold 1t over your face
but don't touch 1t to the skin till you
can do so without really hurting.
When you feel your skin getting used
to the heat, hold it more closely. Keep
1t there three, four, five minutes, till
you feel as If there wasn't a particle
of skin left on your whole face.
when you think your skin is as hot
as 1t can be without coming off, pat it
dry with very soft towel, and mas

Then begin with the forehead, and

wrinkles, and gradually work down.
ward till you have been over every
part of the face. This should take
about ten minutes, and it's good plan
to work by the clock. for you will
think it's all done when you've been
rubbing about three minutes. Don't
put on any more cream than the skin
will absorb, but 1t will take up lots
more than you expect.
Now go back to the steaming basin
again, draw more hot water, and begin
the steaming all over again, but don't
keep 1t up quite so long When the
skin is thoroughly steamed again, sud.
denly drop the hot towel, and put
your face right into the basin of ice
water. 1t will give you an awful feel
ing as though you were shedding
every inch of skin, but you aren't.
Hold your face in the Geld water for a
minute or two, till 1t Is as cold as 1t
was hot before, then dry 1t carefully.
Don't rub it or the skin will really
come off, for, of course, it's frightfully
tender about now.
when you are sure 1t is thoroughly
dry, rub it all over with cold cream
again, but don't massage 1t. No, II
won't look oily, Finish off with coat
of powder and don't go out Of doors
for an hour at least"
II always wondered how you kept
your skin looking so fine" remarked
one of the audience.
IT'S an open secret" was the reply,
land I know from experience that
there's no need of having blackheads
or of taking off all your skin when you
remove them"

A TORNADO.


The time OF year IL near at hand
when we may expect tornado, as any
place In Iowa Is subject to them. 1t
is the part Of wisdom to be prepared
for them; both for protection OF life
and property. You can protect your
life by having a good, safe place to go
into In case OF storm, but the only
protection to property Is by having 1t
insured In some reliable company.
This paper has for many years called
the attention Of It's readers to the
great Iowa Mutual Tornado Insurance
Association Of Des Moines. This AS.
ISOLATION has had n wonderful growth.
and now has over $122000,000 OF Iowa
property insured and has paid losses
of over a half million dollars. and
saved many from financial ruin. In
several cases the entire set OF build
ings and contents were destroyed The
remarkable cheapness of the Assocl.
alton makes 1t very popular with the
people. For prompt payment OF
losses, II cannot be eXcelled by any
other company on earth. There has
been no assessment for two years and
the Association has over $4,000 cash
on hand. The business the past year
exceeded that OF any previous year by
over $4,000,000 and yet the business
of the past three months OF its fiscai
year exceeded every month for the
same period the previous year. This
is the twenty-ffth year, and the AS
ISOLATION hopes to make 1t the BAN
ner year for business.
This is the peoples association,
and 1t Is what they make 1t. II has
not only saved its members more
than million dollars, but has re.
duced the cost OF Insurance by stock
companies, so every one is getting
their insurance cheaper on account
OF its existence. When you pay your
assessment In this Association, you
are helping those who have met with
a misfortune and It Is a pretty good
way to make a contribution.
The Insurance is too cheap to be
without. This Association operates In
connection with the Farmers Nut.

n HE motto 'In God We Trust" will
i be restored to the gold coins from
which it was removed by President
Roosevelt's orders. The house COM
mittee on coinage, weights and meas
ures has reported bill providing for
restoration of the motto and it's per-
manent retention. Indications are that
1t will pass both houses. President
Roosevelt will not veto any measure
of this kind, and has so told several
OF his callers.
Representative James, who intro
duced one of the bills to restore the
motto. said hundreds of letters were
still coming in protesting against the
adjustment of the motto.
Immediately after the new gold
pieces of the Saint Gaudens design
were received from the Philadelphia
mint early in. November last year, the
discovery was made that the motto
In God We Trust" had been omitted.

WASHINGTON. - Senator w. J.

the senator presented a packet Mrs.

Senator and Mrs. Stone were in Ma

Chinaman served as their particular
