he found il in New York in the east
side, as compared with the labors in
There are 25O,OOO people to the
square mile in New York" said the
bishop. "and there are about two and
a half TO the square mile in eastern
Oregon, but the work is not measured
by the number of people one deals with
but by the number won over to the
cause"
The speaker declared the bible the
greatest book from all points of view
that was ever written, and cited in
stances from its pages to prove their
applicability to the everyday life Of
cities.

TELLS OF CONGO WORKS
Five Million Blacks in a State
of SaVagery

DR.. Royal J. Dye and his wife, botl
missionaries lately arrived from the
Congo Free State, Africa. addressed
large congregations yesterday morning
at the West Side and First Christian
churches, respectively, on the subject
of Work in the Congo" Many
strange elements enter into the life
Of the native which the world knows
little of, and it is with the idea Of
enlightening people about these aston
ishing conditions that these lectures
are being given.
DR.. Dye spoke of the great progress
made in nine years and cited many
instances TO show that conversion was
real and permanent. Bolenge, where
the mission station is situated, is di-
rectly on the equator, which crosses
the Congo river directly in front of
Dr. Dyes house. The district covered
by this station includes some 5000, 900
natives, most Of them in a savage con-
dition and largely given to cannibalism.
The church, which now contains 536
members. last year contributed $4,000
brass rods. the currency of the Congo,
equal TO $4,000. toward the extension of
the gospel. The Sunday school numbers
1000. DR.. Dye, whose work is largely
among the Bantu tribes, expects to
return to Africa some time in Novem-

Local GrafterS
Bible Character ReCOmpenSed
Those He WrOnged, but
Not So Now

King Of the grafters Abe Ruef and
his viceroy, Eugene Schmitz, and the
royal court Of higher ups were made
the target for all mems scorn yesterday
afternoon by Rev. E. r. Ollie in an ad-
dress delivered before a room full of
men and boys at the Young Mems
Christian association.
The clergyman was describing the
conversion of Matthew. He brought the
apostle down to the level Of everyday
life as known and understood today.
When Matthew realized his sins,
said Dr. Ollie. "he was not satisfied
with conviction, but straightway he
went to his strong box, unlocked it and
restored TO every man fourfold. That
was like our dear Ruef, wasn't it? or
our Schmitz or any OF the grafters who
have robbed the city treasury and are
now trying to defeat justice with that
same money!"

Striped Shirt Waists.

Too many shirt waists cannot spoil
ones wardrobe. though they may spoil
one for wearing other kinds of Co.'S
tunes. The ease with which they are
put on, their trim look and the be-
coming lines of the new models en-
dear them to the hearts Of all women
In linen, and especially in silk, the
severe shirt waist has host of ad-
mirers, who are gradually but surely
being drawn away from the softer
lingerie fashions for morning wear.
Striped effects are the favorites for
tailor waists. These are shown in
such a variety of colors and widths
of stripes in washable silks that every
taste and every type of woman can
find pattern to suit and become her.

DO NOT CONSIDER EXPENSE.
Effort to Economic on Combs Is Al
ways a Mistake.

It Is a mistake to economic on
combs. Too many women think any
thing will do that they can run
through the hair. There is no greater
mistake, as uneven, rough or jagged
teeth not only break the hair but often
irritate the scalp.
If one can afford it tortoise shell
makes an ideal comb; those of ivory
are equally good and even more cost
ly. II celluloid is used be certain that
1t is perfectly smooth on the points
and sides; also do not use it too near
a flame, as it is inflammable
Metallic combs are too harsh for
most scalps unless skillfully manipu-
lated.
The teeth should be fine, strong, and
not too close together. Too fine a
comb tears the hair unnecessarily.

TREATMENT OF THE FACE.
to Lay Down Rule That
Will Suit All Persons.

There cannot be cut and dried rules
laid down for the washing of the face.
Different skins require different
treatment, and the best thing is to
test the effect of several before decid-
ing on any.
Generally speaking. however, thick.
oily skins. or those that are so thin
and fine that cold water will cause
wrinkles, should be washed with hot
~ator, or, at Toast tepid.
If there be tendency to facial neu-
ralgia 1t is also we'll to avoid cold
water, as the shock of it frequently
starts up the pain.
On the other hand. soft, flabby skins
that fall into folds and Fuckers need
cold water to give them tone. This
closes the pores of the skin and lends
it firmness. 1t is well to add little
cologne or vinegar to the water to as
sist in the hardening effect.

For Roofing Rubber Plant.

Slips may be rooted on rubber plants
by cutting slit in stem, and attach
ing a ball of moss. dampened. thereto.
Roots will thus be formed and when a
number come, the newly rooted plant
may be cut off the stem of the old
one at base of ball of moss. Pot in a
four or five inch pot, with good rich,
porous soil, allowing ball of moss to
remain when you pot the plant. II
only one or two roots have appeared
when you examine the plant latter
five or six weeks time) let it remain
longer. l should think slips separated
from old plants could be rooted the
same way in moss.

Red Checks. No Rouae.

II you want to look very pretty and
have red cheeks for some festivity.
you can do this. Rub cold cream into
the face, always with an upward, ro-
tary movement. Wipe that off, rub in
more, and wipe it off again. Then
wash the face with hot water. Then
dash cold water over it and dry it
thoroughly with soft towel To add
the final touch take a small piece of
ice. cover with a towel, and rub gen
thy three or four times over the cheek
bones. This gives color which will
last for hours, and is really a mild
form of turkish bath for the fase.
Many ladies before going out use
leather sponges. rubbing the cheeks
first with warm water, then hot water,
and dry thoroughly. This gives love-
ly color.

But the race of shoppers are out to got the full
worth of their money and many time they recog.
nize their helplessness If they only knew whence
to turn for help! But the inept sales-person at
their elbow merely tells them the price-which is
plainly marked-and looks patiently resigned or
ndiferently apathetic while they founder about
and get what they don't want or what they ought
not to have.
Come, come. rub your eyes, and put the micro
