BANKS ARE PROSPEROUS.

Manufacturing will be back at It's
nual stock-taking is over. Reports
from the big industries which are the
source OF the city's greatest wealth
indicate that almost all of them will
be running with full force by the end
of January and that sSffie-eat7S
preparations are being made to equal
the best previous record or operation.
IL has been a hopeful sign that In
the two months past, the manufactur.
ing plants OF the city haze reduced
their force less than those of1ther Am
erLcan manufacturing centers and
that distress firm lack Of employment
for the workers has been remarkably
little. The confidence OF the city's
business men in the future is shown
by their plans TO resume operations
as actively as before.
Banks have had a particularly good
year in 1907. All of the old banks
have paid their regular dividends with
a special / per cent dividend extra In
some cases, and even the new Ma
tional Bank of Commerce has earned
enough to pay dividend. but will. in
stead apply the accumulation TO
building up the surplus. The banks
are back upon a cash basis again as
before the furry.
Records of the register OF deeds,

was the busiest ever experienced in
the handling of legal instruments. In

Wipe the skin of the face, chin. throat
and chest perfectly dry, but do this by
the dabblng or patting motion. as pow
der is applied. Next apply pure cold
cream.
The subsequent step of the fee treat
ment consists in using the ice proper.
With a smooth piece of ice about the
size OF the hand use a slow rotary mo-
ton on the trouble lines between the
brows. Then treat the troublesome crows
feet at the corner of the eyes.
The deep lines of emotion. drawn from
the nose to a quarter or half inch below
the lips. must be ironed outward with
stroke toward the ears. These muscles
will endure a long and vigorous treat
ment, say for five minutes. on either side
of the face.
Apply the ice, this time holding Il with
the tips of the fingers, 20 the chin. Stroke
with an alternate movement OF the fin-
gers Of either hand from right TO left
and the reverse. Not only Is this believ-
ed to be an ultimate cure for double chin.
but 1t is as well an excellent preventive.
Immediately after give the skin a sec
ond coat OF cream wherever the ice has
been applied TO prevent cracking under
the severe treatment.

For Tense Nerves.

For relaxing tense nerves there is moth
ing like a tonic bath and this special
relaxing exercise.
The bath is quite simple-nOthing but
alternate sprays of hot and cold water
given for from five to ten minutes This
is possible for any one who can afford a
rubber hose with a spray attachment
which fastens on 10 the nozzle of the hot
and cold water spigot 1t usually costs
about s..
Follow the bath with this exercise,
which stimulates the nerves without the
expenditure of nerve force:
Stand with the weight of the body on
the left foot. the right fixed lightly on
the floor a little in advance of 1t. Raise
slowly the right arm to the level Of the
shoulder. then move arm in circle from
right to left and reverse.
The left arm is then treated in the same
manner, with the weight of body on right
foot.
BY exercise Of this kind the nervous
system is refreshed and invigorated. 1t
is important In doing the movements TO
relax so thoroughly that one forgets she
has any muscles. In other words. the
movement is TO be quite involuntary.
