st, Petersburg Jan. 26--M. Shipof,
former minister of finance. returned
here today after FIVE months trip
in the far east. He visited Japan,
China and Siberia on special gov
eminent mission, the result of which
was embodied in a report to the
emperor.
M Shipoh today expressed himself
optimistieally regarding conditions in
the extreme Orient, which he said is
rapidly recovering from the period Of
depression following the war lie Is
convinced, from conversations which
he has had with prominent men of
all shades Of opinion in Toxic, that
hostlities between the United stat IS
and Japan at present are out OF tn z
question.
NJ. Shipoff was greatly impressed by
Chinese activities in the colonization
of Korea. Although faced by the
prospect Of Japanese occupation Of
the provinces, the Chinese are rush
ing thousands of settlers into that
country and are displaying the great
est energy in developing business op-
portunities opening mines and plan
ming railroads This tide of eoloniza-
ton, he said, has offered an nspirat-
ing effect on Russia which is con
fronted by similar task in the d.

Many of In native Koreans, how
ever. are leaving the country to be-
come Russian subjects, rather than
remain under japanese sovereignty.

China would have to submit to the
objections offered by Japan to t1e

pioxYeEN BEST MOUTH WASH.
Preparation Will Keep Teeth and
Gums in Perfect Condition.

The merits of dioxygen as a mouth
wash are not as well realized as they
should be. 1t is easy to get and not
expensive. A stoppered glass bottle
OF Il should be On every washstand.
After eating. if one hasn't time to
brush the teeth. the mouth should be
rinsed out with diluted dioxygen. 1t
is a strong ant!septic, keeps the teeth
from decaying, and protects the top
OF the mouth and gums from soreness,
or from creating and emanating a dis.
agreeable odor.

ONE COLOR FROM NECK TO TOE.
Fashion for the Indoor as Well as the
Street Gown.

AS each week passes, it is seen that
women are going in heavily for the
one-color line from the collar to the
floor. The waist and skirt. if in two
pieces. must match. The gown must
preferably be from one piece from the
collar bone down.
Even above the collar bone the
same color of lace or net is often used
instead of white. Indoor frocks as
well as street costumes are clinging
to this one-color effect. The hats do
not match the gown, and shoes and
gloves need not match it, but if you
would be in fashion, see to it that in
every hour of the day you are in one
color from chin to toe.
It is the one-piece gown that has
made this fashion compulsory. The
separate coat and skirt is not as popu-
lar as it has been, for it has given
way to the three-piece suit. The skirt
carries its own blouse, and the coat
is added thereto.

Making the Hair Wave,

A simple hut most effective way of
making the hair wave in the big rip
pies which continue to be fashionable
is 10 dampen 1t and tie II down with
bands of baby ribbon. or course abb
solutely straight hair will not yield
to this treatment, but hair with the
slightest tendency to curl will re.
spond beautifully.
After the hair is done up dampen It
with hot water pinch II little and
then draw 1t close down to the head
with bands of baby ribbon put on In
separate pieces about an inch apart
and pinned very tight to the head.
Leave on for an hour, remove care.
fully, then comb the hair gently until
1t fluffs out In charming waves of
beautiful regularity.

Eczema appeared on my sons face.
We went to doctor who treated him
for three months. Then he was SO bad
that his face and head were nothing
but one sore and his ears looked as If
they were going to fall off, so we tried
another doctor for four months, the
baby never getting any better. His
hand and legs had big sores on them
and the poor little fellow suffered so
terribly that he could not sleep. After
he had suffered six months we tried

gone and in two months he had clear
face. Now he is two years and has
