the matter in the second specification
it is true so far as it is possible for

BEAUTY HINTS
Wonderfully Effective Recipe for
Complexion Wash and
Skin Food

The accompanying recipe comes from
a nigh authority on matters pertaining
to the beautifying of the face. The
formula originated in France and was
brought to this country several years
ago and has since been in use by some
of the leading beauty doctors and So
ciety ladies of our metropolitan cities.
The formula is as follows:
Two ounces of Rose Water; one
ounce Spirits of Cologne; four ounces
crystalized Sartoin. Put the Sartoin in
to pint of warm water (notkboiling),
then add the other two ingredients. and
when dissolved and cooled strain
through fine cloth.
These Ingredients can be purchased
at any well stocked drug store and
easily mixed at home. If a large bottle
is not AZ hand, use a fruit jar.
The above formula will make sufh-
cient for months treatment, although
the good results commence to be appar-
ent after the first few Applications 1t
should be well massaged into the face,
bust and arms. 1t will not only produce
ruddy pink complexion. but will also
promote the development of flesh in

HUSBAND JOB PAYS

COUNT SNEEZY-AcHoo FALLS
INTO SOFT SNAP
Income on Five Millions Comes in So
Fast That 1t Reaches $4,000
Every Month Before
He Knows 1t

What would you take to be a hus-
band? Count Laszlo (etc.) Szechenyi,
Hungarian, who married Miss Gladys
Vanderbilt on January 27, has set a
swift pace in the matter of salaries. II
you belong to his union you can't work
for less than the annual income on
$4,000 900. If you're no count, OF course
you might "scab'' for less.
The $5, 900, 900 was transferred to the
counts account on the wedding day.
His wages began the moment the cere-
mony was performed. Under the terms
of his contract with his employers, he
can use the income only. Assuming
that he invests his capital so that it
will draw 6 per cent annually, and that
he holds his job for year, on January
81, 1908, he will have drawn 100000.
If the count is paid by the month
he will draw $4,000 every thirty days.
If the ghost walks weekly, it will
prance in and hand him $6250 every
seven days-for husbands are expected
to work on Sundays. If he should hap
pen to run short of cigarette money
and has pull enough with the cashier tc
| give his o u until payday, he can
pull down 1898 In advance for a days
work. An hour on the job will net him
S3470.
If he is paid by the minute he will
receive 81 2-3 cents in about the space
of time it would take him to sign the
receipt. If he is as fast as Count Boni
he might be able to draw his salary by
the second, which would mean that he
would pocket 95-100ths of a cent every
time his watch licked.

and Legator Was Satisfied with
Distribution of Property
Made in instrument

The most important evidence in the
contested will case, now on trial in
Judge BordwelPs department of the
superior court, in which Robert Carith-
ers seeks to break the alleged will of
his brother. William D. Carith-
ers, which purported to leave his prop
crty to his widow, with the exception
IF small part to a sister, was the
testimony of Lynn Helm, an attor-
ney.
Helm declared he had been called
TO the Carithers home the day the
will was made leaving the property
to the widow. Mrs. Carithers, he said,
was told by her husband that he in
tended to leave his property to her
and she could dispose of it as she
thought best to relatives
Mrs. Carithers, said the witness, pro-
tested that a share should be given
to her sister-in-law. Mrs. Hipsley of
Table Grove, ILL.,, and this was agreed
to Helm said he wrote the instru-
ment with an indelible pencil and read
it to Carithers, who was lying in bed.
Carithers said that was what he
wanted, said Helm.
"Just then J J. Vogel came to the
,loor," continued the witness, land Ca
rithers said Vogel could be a witness.

whom Mrs. Carithers sent for. Ca
rithers told them he had seen the will
and knew what was in it.
"He was sitting up in bed with a
poor foundation when he wrote his
name, and I told him the signature
was not as good as he could write. He
sat on the side of the bed and signed
his name again with the paper on
l,is lap. Their he told me to take the
will and place it in my safe"
Helm said he noticed nothing strange
in Carithers' actions. Helm, Vogel,
Carithers and his wife and Mrs. Strong
were the only persons in the room at
the time.
The alleged Will was identified by the
witness. A prior will is claimed by the
contestants to be in existence and
they declare the will introduced yes
terday was signed by Carithers under
compulsion and while he was under
the influence Oh intoxicants.
DR.. o. M. Justin, who was Carithers'
physician while he was sick in the
Emergency hospital, testified that he
believed Caritners was demented when
he sigred the alleged will. He said
the patient told him he was not i'll;
that he did not want a doctor but a
lawyer.
