METHODS OF MAKING
SOAP POWDERS AT HOME

1t is fact that soap does not agree
with every complexion. and the reason is
not far to seek, since the skin, having a
certain amount Of grease in 1t. may be
given an excess by the oil in the soap,
whereas if there is insufficient oil in the
cleansing agent the natural lubricant in
the skin becomes dried by the use of too
much alkili. If 1t were possible for every
person to have his or her skin and it's
secretions scientifically analyzad there
might be made soap that would con-
form chemically to each individuars
needs. This being out of the question. the
next best plan is to adopt a substitute for
the soap If the agent being used causes
he skin to appear overdry and tight
" too oily.
Either one Of two kinds Of soap must
&c chosen; an alkali for oily complexion,
br a grease for a dry skin Broadly
these may be narrowed down to cold
cream or borax. either being perfect for
the flesh that requires it's properties.
There are persons who declare they
cannot get clean with cold cream. AS a
matter Of fact it is m ore efficacious than
soap. the sole trouble being that the
soiled cream is not always removed and
the pores then become clogged. There
can be no more perfect cleanliness than

plexion and neck with large quantity
of this grease. 1t may be rubbed in with
the finger tips. and after staying on a
couple Of minutes 1t should be wiped off
with a soft cloth. turning the muslin
frequently that the soiled cream shall
not be rubbed into the pores again.
After removing all the grease that can
be taken out in this way, another soft
muslin piece should be wet either with
alcohol cologne or Florida water. and the
face wiped off. This will "cut" the grease
and entirely extract it. Should the COM
plexion be inclined to excessive dryness

cream. wiping of that left on the surface.

omit the second application of cream. for

suggested is particularly good In summer.
when the hot sun works havoc with the
skin. Cream and powder protect 1t ad-
mirably, and an alcoholic application will
always take off the grease.
For Women With Oily Skins.
For the woman with an oily complexion
quite different treatment is necessary. A
saturated solution of borax is good be-
cause it is so efficacious, easily mixed
and inexpensive. To prepare 1T some
water is put into a bottle. and then as
much powdered borax as the liquid will
dissolve. II a little extra goes in no harm
will be done. This compound will cut
grease and dirt as quickly as a patent
soap powder.
A good way of using it is to apply

| should be wet with the solution and used
as a wash cloth. The solution may be
used at any or all times, and Is thorough
~ cleansing. 1t may be allowed to dry
on the flesh or be rinsed off. The former
way is preferable if there is tendency
to abnormal greasiness Of the skin.
Borax has an advantage over cologne
or alcohol as an astringent. because it is
less drying. Alcoholic preparations are
likely to act too drasticaly. parchfng the
skin so that a network of very fine
wrinkles more like lines may develop
There is, however. no likelihood of this
condition happening with borax long
as the least trace of greasiness rema ins
in the complexion.
Women who like luxuries on the toilet
table cannot do better than to prepare
some Of the soap powders that. having
almonds in them, are actively Softenine
and refining, as we'll as cleansing.
A good one is made from three ounces
each of blanched and powdered jordan
almonds anu ripe tonka beans one and
quarter ounces of powdered orris. one
ounce of white CASTLE soap. a third of an
ounce of spermaceti a sixth of an ounce
of dried carbonate Of soda and a. dram
each of oils of bergamot, lavender and
lemon. All the powders are thoroughly
mixed by sitting. and then the oils are
worked in. This preparation should be
put into tight jars To use it. first wet
the hands or face and then rub on a
little of the powder, using more water.
Finally wash Off
A Homemade Cleaner.
Better suited to some skins is another
preparation of four ounces of pure almond
meal. an ounce of powdered orris, two
ounces of powdered CASTLE soap, one-half
a dram Of oil of bergamot, four drops of
bitter almond oil and a quarter of a dram
of extract of musk These ingredients
are mixed and used in the same way as
was described above for the powder
Occasions arise where. directly after
being sunburned, while the smart is still
new. it is impossible to use water and
cleansing is imperative. AT such a time
a good mixture is fifty grams of honey,
strained: forty grams of powdered CASTLE
soap. ten grams each of gum benzoin and
bOrax and thirty grams of powdered
spermaceti. The mixture is beaten to-
gether and then left covered, but exposed
to the air until dried. To USE it Is rubbed
over the face and allowed to stay on,
rnsing some hours later in clear water.

complshes 1t by very simple method.
On returning to her room she Saturates
her face with cold cream. This she allows
to remain on In quantity until her dress
Is changed and she is ready to go down
stairs-perhaps fifteen minutes in all.
Then. with a soft cloth, she gently dabs
off the cream and over what is left she
puts on thick coating of powder. Neither
powder nor cream show, and the latter
prevents any after action of the sun rays
on the complexion.

Hams said, accounted for it's tardy pro-
duction. John +. Mcintyre. counsel for
the Hams brothers. said last night:
We regard the discovery of this mani
fest of the highest Importance. Through
it and other evidence we have detained
we shall be able to prove that Annis did
lead away Mrs Hams and that i'm the alb
sence of her husband he was much in her
company.
The farther we go with our investiga-
tiOnS in this case the more convinced we
become that there Is no jury that will not
vote to acquit. There will be no brain
storms in our defense. We snail show
that Annis obtained a lawyer for Mrs.
Hams I'm the divorce matter, and that he
was present when the answer to Capt.
Hams divorce suit was drawn. The al

On 10000 pieces or mail the differ

amounts to $43S. 600. II is estimated

Nobody has yet attempted to figure
the exact cost of carrying letter

tically impossible to fix the cost with

of labor devoted to the one letter by
