SIMPLE CURE FOR
MUDDY COMPLEXION

II sounds like an unkind statement tc
assert that many cases of thick and
muddy complexion are due to lack Of
cleanliness. yet such is the fact The
reason that 1t should be taken without
hurt feelings is that only the initiated
know the quantity Of dirt that is accumn-
lated on the face through the day. and
what is more to the point, the way OF get
ting rid of 1t.
Water alone will not cleanse. 1t is not
possible for woman who lives in the
city and who goes daily into the streets
to keep her face clean unless she uses
SOAP or cold cream-some agent that will
go down into the pores and extract the
foreign matter there. And it is precisely
because dust particles that have entered
the pores are not brought out each night
that blackheads and pimples result
Liquid Green Soap Cleanses Face.
Liquid green soap, which is the chem
ically pure potash soap used in surgery,
is excellent for the complexion, but SO
strong is 1t that once week is sufficient
for its use. At most twice a week is all
that 1t can be applied, but an occasional
application I consider imperative. Nor is
a cloth Of the slightest benefit in combina-
ton. There must be a brush, for, con-
trary to general belief. the skin Is not
smooth. Pores. with which 1t is covered
fill it with tiny holes, and cloth will go
over these. but a soft brush Will go into
them without irritating. and so small par
ticles of dirt, too tiny then to be seen,
but capable of doing much harm later.
will be brought out. Rinsing is done with
a cloth. A brush with stiff bristles Is not
desirable, for they irritate. Camei's hair
is the ideal kind. but there are soft substi-

ATTEMPTED BRIBERY CHARGED
SAN FRANCISCO RAILWAY
PRESIDENT ARRAIGNED.
Nineteen Indictments Against Pat
rick Calhoun-Outcome of the
Scandal of 1906.

SAN FRANCISCO, January 12-Patrick
Calhoun OF New York and San Francis
CO, president of the United Railroads and
director of several large corporations APP
peared in Judge William P. Lawlors de-
partment Of the superior court today for
the opening session of his trial on an in
dictment charging him with offering a
bride to Fred Nicholas, former mem
Der Of the board of supervisors, the lesis-
lative body of the city and county of San
Francisco.
The charge is based upon one of nine
teen indictments returned against the
railroad president by two grand juries,
and was an outcome of the municipal
scandal of 1906, when sixteen supervisors
confessed wholesale acceptances of brides
for the award of privileges to public
service corporations. and the mayor of
the city, Eugene F. Schmitz, was re-
moved from Office and imprisoned, with
bonds fixed at over $1.0OO.OOO. Calhoun,
together with three other officials of the
United Railroads, was accused in the va
rious indictments of having authorized
and assisted in the payment of $4,000 to
the supervisors, in return for permit
for an overhead trolley on several of the
roads formerly operated by cable sys-
tenn
TREY L. Ford, chief counsel for the
United Railroads and former attorney
general of California, was thrice tried
upon a similar indictment Twice the jury

Judge Lawlor has summoned panel of
80 men. and it is probable that the court
will require the full morning session to

lieve themselves disqualified or otherwise

cution while the defendant will be repre-
scented by A. A. Moore. Stanley Moore

FADS AND FANCIES.

Among the dainty underwear shown
now is the very pretty corset cover. Fash
toned on the order of the corset cover
made from a strip of -semi-houncins. the
finished product shows many advantages
over the homemade article.
For instance. the armholes are neatly
edged with a narrow embroidery woven
into the goods. and. again, the embroidery
at the top of the corset cover stops within
an inch OF the armholes. thus avoiding
spelling the design by cutting. Shoulder
straps Of embroidered banding are added
and ribbon drawstring run through the
top.
The cover is very easily Numbered and
the finished armholes are saving OF time
and money, as extra trimming is not nee
eSsary.
Owing TO the mild weather there are
numbers of comfortables included in the
white sales. the result of over stock. and
rs there will no doubt be ample occasion
for such bed clothing before the winter is
over. housekeepers in need should investi-
gate such bargains.

eled top only the plainest kind Of spreads

Hemstitched linen with drawn work
above the hem is admirable. Large dol
lies are better than one large cloth.
Hard Wood Floors Are Desirable.
The floors should be hard wood inlaid

preferred covering. These can be re-
moved every day while the room is being
swept. They wash like ordinary towels.

When furniture is used in the day nurs-
cry it should be of the very plainest, most
substantial kind, such as strong rockers
and chairs, in mahogany and oak. with
small tables to match, but the latest fad
is to have no furniture in the day nurs-

Removable padded cushions cover the
seats. and the same effect is carried up
the walls far above the heads Of the lit

I of bumps or bruises. Some of the seats
are boxes into which the toys are placed
at the end Of the day, and above the

The up-to-date nursery has almost

For instance, room with plain paper

inside curtains Of silk armure in Jacquard
design ending at. the window sill. then
looped back, that any child would be
pleased with the effect.
The curtains must match in color the
wall paper, and if silk is too expensive
there are a number of very pretty fabrics
found in the upholstery departments in a
mixture of linen and silk and in all linen
that will be satisfactory. While dainty
colors are desirable. the material should
be fairly substantial.
Ball fringe makes the prettlest Kind OF
a finish the curtains hanging from a
brass rod concealed by pleated valance.
Cane Bedsteads Are Favorites.
Bedsteads are in single size when the
occupants have outgrown cot beds. The
enafneled wooden bedsteads combined
with cane are preferred to the enameled
iron or the entire wooden bedsteads The

count of the hardness of these metals,

night nurseries grOwn-up furnltire is

children's furniture is madeA nowadays
that is, except in cheap grades or for
play-but furniture for children as it was
made long ago is disappearing. The
reason is that there are no more children
by that is meant the present genera
ton demands the same or better than
older persons and is only satisfied with
mothers.
AS an example of this demand the little
child's bureau is quite as large as any
made and SO are the washstand and extra
table and desk, or rather cabinet, in desk
shape. Off holding trinkets or other
treasures.
