Yo.r Comnlexion al sprinx.


Nine. Millicent Marvin, the noted spe-
cialist in beauty culture, gives some ex-
cellent advice in April Delineator to
women whose compilations are source
Of worry owing to the sun and weather
conditions prevalent in the spring
months. Among other valuable hints,
Nine. Marvin says:
Rubbing the skin once or twice a
day with ripe tomato is said to be
most helpful in clearing the complex
ION; lettuce juice has also beneficial
effect"
While these simple remedies are per-
haps not generally known or used, they
are none the less valuable.
Probably the safest and most salts
factory thing for general use in keeping
the skin soft and smooth and the COM
plexion clear and brilliant is simple
wash, which can be easily prepared at
home. The recipe is as follows:
Take two ounces Of rose water, one
ounce of cologne spirits and four ounces
OF eppotone. Put the eppotone In pint
OF hot water (not boiling), and after 1t
is dissolved strain and let cool. Then
add the rose water and cologne spirits.
Apply this wash literally every night
and morning to the face, neck and arms,
after thoroughly washing in warm wa
ter, and you will soon have a complex
Ion that will be the envy and admira-
ton Of every woman you know.

The weddinx Gown.

Exaggerated simplicity is the keynote
Of modern wedding gowns.
Often the silk is embroidered in gold
or silver thread.
Lace at neck and sleeves is, howeve,
all that is needed.
Ivory white satin continues to be thu
favorite material.
Nevertheless, messaline, chiffon and

Satin crepe de chine makes an EN-.

There has been a return recently to
the court train.
A high collar should be placed On
the yoke Of the gown.
Practically any length Of sleeve Is
now permitted.
Whatever their length, they should
be extremely soft.

Rebuke. for Rude Women.

NeDuKe1 IOF NuUe "Omen.
Men often confess to deliberate plans
for checking feminine rudeness. When
women tread upon their heels and do
not take the trouble to apologize, they
sometimes wait for an opportunity and
pay them back in similar coin, adding
a polite word Of regret meant to teach
them lesson. When women refuse to
lift trailing skirts men walk upon them
regardless of damage, but with apollo
giles which can not be overlooked by
any woman with the least pretense to
good breeding. A woman who attempts
TO crowd into seating space that will

sufficient material in front to meet up
on the chest, the idea being to let the
whole of the elaborate front Of the
bodice be seen.
One Of the most valued introductions
in season Of pretty and serviceable
modes is the princess dress, with coat
Of the same material. The combination,
which is made in voiles and the lighter
cloths, consists Of princess dress with
a gulmpe and a short hip length

Narrower skirts are undoubtedly the
rage, and Paris sends word that some
skirts measure only two yards around.
One skirt was arranged SO that in front
there were only two lacers to be tied
around the ankles. This sounds very
ultra; such skinny garments could be

menced. The boats were similar, and thus
neither had the advantage on this score.
But the rowers on the Pioneer were, on
the whole, stronger, and more skillful
than those on the Arrow. On the other
hand, Walter steered perfectly, while
Joshua's successor, though he made no
bad blunder, was a novice.
The result was that the race was a
clear one. Finally the Arrow came In a
length ahead, and Walter felt with quiet
satisfaction that the victory had been
gained by his efforts.
He hoped that he would be as success
full through life in padding his own canoe.
Joshua went home sulkily, and was not
seen again on the picnic grounds.

Snake Ranch Ready.

Some fellow has been going tn
rounds of the press with a desire TO
snake ranch, and John Watson
came up from Otis last week prepar
ed to supply the demand.

three hundred pounds. He got Main

alfalfa and the bud.
Mr.. Watson was the first sheriff of
Oneida county when it comprised all
OF eastern Idaho that had ever been
seen by stage drivers and Mormons,
and in his travels as sheriff, horse
man and COW man he has always had
an eye open to the possible achieve
ments of science as it might work in
dry farming, balloon travel and the
frying the rattlesnake for their oil
or SHINING the reptiles for their
hide, or both.
While the old soldier in Virginia
was raising honey bees on the stony
hillside, Mr.. Watson was witnessing
the growth of the rattlesnake, and
getting his band nicely started, so
there might be plenty of snake oil,
for he has always been awake to the
needs of Idaho politicians to be suf-
ficiently pliable so they might If
needs be, go back into the same hole
they came out of without exposing
both eXtremities at once Some not
able examples of this have occurred
that are not all laid at the door of
Fred Dubois, and Mr.. Watson saws
he has reptiles of all ages and sizes
at his little tract fifteen miles west of
Yuma, whose oil will suffice to carry
all parties through the campaign of
1908.
He is one of the honest real estate
men who says in the beginning of the
game that his land is no good that

housekeeping by Electricity.
Electricity has banished the twice.
a-year house-cleaning time and all
{ the haunting terrors which the name
implies. The home today is kept
permanently clean with the electric
renovator and consequently there is
no spring or fall house-cleaning work
to be done.
Electricity has added much to the
comforts of the home, from ringing
the door bell to sitting the ashes;
from lighting the rooms to cooking
the food, and now it has condescend-
ed to take on the additional respon-
sibility Of cleaning the house.
Primarily the electric house-clean-
er consists of a small movable de-
vice equipped with a double fan, a
revolving brush and proper recepta-
Gle for dust and dirt. The fan and
the brush are driven by a powerful.
though smell, General Electric mo-
tor. The brush loosens every par
t1cal of dust in the floor coverings
and the dirt is drawn into the dust
receptacle by strong volume of air.
Sweeping the floors in this way leaves
no clouds of sitting dust to settle
later on the furniture and fixtures.
The machine will pick up matches
and pieces of paper or pins as it
moves across the floor. Carpets and
rugs can be cleaned in tenth of the
time it takes to sweep them by hand.
The furniture and curtains can be
thoroughly clensed without removing
them from their original positions
Hotels, churches and theatres hay
ing large carpeted interiors also find
the electric cleaner most valuable on
account of the speed with which the
large carpets and extensive furniture
can be cleaned.
The electrical connections are I
made at the lamp socket and the ma
chine Is pushed across the floor like
IN ordinary carpet sweeper. For
cleaning under radiators, furniture !
Dr. In corners hose attachment is
lsed which will reach the most in
accessible places.
The device is equipped with seve-
al important attachments. One to
lean floor coverings, cushions, mat I
resses, lounges, ETC.; another for :
leaning crevices, corners and all diff :
lcult places from floor to ceiling.
IT'LL another is used to clean walls, =
1ctures, curtains, mouldings, shelves, i
ornaments, or fixtures, etc. Z
70 skill is required to operate the i
there is no deafening noise !.
nd the work can be done in few Z
linutes at a trif1ing cost. 2
Not only does the electrical house q
eaner sweep the house thoroughly, +
ut it sterilizes and renovates as well. K
here is an attachment for driving a T.
asst of air through pillows, mattress !.
IS, and cushions and still another r.
sterilize for the destruction of =
sease germs. 81
When a room needs cleaning all ~
at is necessary is to bring in the II
ectric cleaner and attach the flex- n
lie cord to the lamp socket. The IA
otor is started and the cleaner ~
shed back and forth across the ~
or until the carpet is clean. "a
