A half pint of rosewater will be
needed and this is put in slowly, al
most drop by drop, crushing the nuts
all the time. The work Is continued
and the water put in until the nuts
are only coarse powder and the
liquid is milky. 1t should then be
closely covered and left to stand over
night. In the morning 1t is we'll shaken
and poured through a new cheese
cloth to strain. To the liquid may be
added half a dram of any essence one
chooses. This is almond milk, which is
the basis of many toilet preparations,
and is astringent and whitening IN
itself. 1t may be wiped over the com
plexion morning and night, drying on,
and is to be freely used on the hands.
When the skin is inclined, through
dryness of the tissues to wrinkle, the
astringent properties of the milk are
greatly increased by adding thirty
grains of alum in three-quarters OF an
ounce of the milk. The alum, powdered,
must first be dissolved in three ounces
of rose water, the combination oelng
added slowly to the milk.
Persons who fear to use grease or
oils on their skin find almond prepa-
rations, and especially the milk, sub
stitute, in that 1t feeds the tissues.

preparations, for emulsions made from
them and used constantly irnpart

have an agreeable odor. Bitter almonds,
used in small quantities, are bleaching

ments, but preparations made from
them are usually more difficult to make
than should be attempted by amateurs.
Almond milk was a lotion in which
our grandmothers had unlimited faith
for improving their compilations, but
care in making 1t is required. Beyond
this it is not difficult. Thirty large
nuts should be bleached and broken
into bits. Bleaching consists in plung-
ing the nuts, after they are shelled,
into boiling water, in which they stand
for a couple of minutes The liquid is
drained eff and each nut is pinched
between the fingers, when it will slide
from it's jacket. The hulls are rejected.
Few persons have a marble mortar
in which to crush the nuts, so they
may be broken in a china bowl. A
wooden pestle, such as is used for
mashing potatoes, will serve to crush
them If the implement is fresh. A

THERE Is TO BE A NEW ERA
OF PIANO SELLING IN LOS AN
GELES! This week we inaugurate
our DEMONSTRATION SALE of
high-g grade pianos. The purpose of
this sale is to show to the people of
Southern California what tremendous
savings we are able to effect the buyer
of a good piano.
Conducting stores in eight Pacific
Coast States, buying in tremendous
quantities, shipping under the most
modern methods, we are enabled to
supply pianos at prices which old line
houses, conducting their business un-
der the old, extravagant methods, are
unable to meet.
1t is our belief that a piano should
be a necessary part of every home,
and we believe that if we sell pianos
at prices which enable every home in
California to own one that the volume
of our trade will be enormously in
creased.
The purpose of this is educational
in a way, and we want to demonstrate
at this time beyond doubt in the mind
of any reasonable buyer that it is
possible for US to sell pianos for $31S
and $346, the choicest. most desirable
of brand new instruments that you
would pay regularly from $475 to $3.50
for elsewhere.
We will show you, beyond any pos
sibility of a doubt, how pianos which
have heretofore been regularly sold
for $3.50 may now be purchased of us
at 1882 and, in the palmer styles, for
$237.
1t is our object in this demonstra-
ton sale to show what our method of
conducting the piano business means
to the retail buyer, and show what
wide popularity our pianos enjoy, COM
pared with the most costly and val
liable pianos in America, or the very
cheapest that is dependable.

Ante-Mortem Statement of Man VINO
Accused Girl of Firing Shot
Is Not Credited by
Detectives

WALTHAM, Mass, Nov. 24.-Unable
to place credence in the ante-mortem
statement of Clarence F. Glover that
he was shot Saturday night by Hattie
LIE Blanc, or to believe the story OF
the lie Blanc girl that Glover commit
ted suicide, the Waltham police CON
Quoted their investigation into the
mystery on the theory that a thlrd
party will be able to furnish a salts
factory solution.
The home of Mrs. Glover, the widow
is guarded by police, and Mrs. Glover
has been notified that II she leaves II
she will be arrested.
Authorities expressed the opinion to-
day that the lie Blanc girl will alter
her story that Glover committed sui

and will be able to relate facts regard
ing a third person concerned in the
shooting.
They also will seek to ascertain If
Mrs. Glover cannot give them infor-
nation as to the identity of the third
person.

oner is not considered seriously by the
police, as one Of the wounds was in

How to Buy a Piano

A piano is not bought for day or
year, but for a lifetime, and the buyer
should be thoroughly satisfied before
concluding his purchase. To realize
Just what we are able to do we ask
every person who expects to buy
piano to visit other stores in Los An
geles before coming to see us, so that
a fair comparison may be made. We
want enthusiastic customers, and our
most enthusiastic patrons are those
who have bought of us only after hav-
ing examined pianos and prices in
other stores before coming to us.
If we cannot show you that we sell
pianos, grade for grade, and quality
for quality, for less-and much less
than any other piano store, we are
not entitled to your business, and we
do not want your business.
No piano enjoys a higher reputa-
ton today among the best musical
critics than the Hazelton of New York.
For fifty years this piano has been
almost the exclusive piano of New
York's aristocracy. The time-honored
Chase Brothers piano has had an en-
viable reputation for over two gem
erations. during which time 1T has
given the utmost of satisfaction. For

NO CHANGE IN IRRIGATION
LAW, SAYS SENATE BOARD
Director Newell Expresses Opinion
That This Is Result Arrived at
by Investigators

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-After a
trip of fifty days. during which practi-
cally all the government reclamation
projects were inspected, the senate
committee on irrigation has come to
the conclusion that it is impracticable
and impossible to make any modifica-
tions in the reclamation act without
the risk of losing many advantages of
the present law.
While the committees report will not
be ready for some time, the expressed
opinion was to this effect, according to
Director e. II. Newell of the reclama-
ton service who made the trip with
the committee.
The sentiment to expedite the work
if necessary by the issue of bonds or
other interest bearing obligations, is
unanimous in the committee and the
senators are said to stand their ground
on demand that every dollar that has
been spent by the government in the
work of reclamation must be refunded.
1t is considered impossible to amend
the system for repayment already pro-
yided in the law.

PROFESSORS DEBATE ON
PSYCHOLOGY QUESTIONS

Materialism versus spiritualism was
the subject of a debate in Burbank
hall last night between Edward A.
Cantrell and Professor w. f. Peck,
pastor of the Peoples Spiritualist
church of Los Angeles. More than 300
persons were in attendance.
Cantrell affirmed that materialism
and the materialistic Interpretation or
history explained more of the facts of
life than any other philosophy, while
Professor Peck undertook to disprove
his statements with quotations from
several great thinkers and writer's OF
the age and an outline of the Spiritu-
alist beliefs. Both men were forcible
takers .and appeared well versed on
their subject.
Next Wednesday night Professor
Peck will attempt to prove THAT Mod
ern Science Proves the Doctrine of
Mans Conscious Existence Beyond
the Dissolution of the Body" Mr..
Cantrell will take the negative.

MERE BOY C0NFESSES TO
CLEVER PLAN TO DEFRAUD
Says He Collected Money by Promis-
ing to Give Dishes with
Sunday Papers

Joe Desser, an 11-year-old newsboy,
was arrested last night and confessed
to one of the cleverest Juvenile crimes
that have been reported at police head
quarters for a long time.
The arrest was made on account OF
numerous complaints received at two
newspaper offices by persons who al
legged that they had not received their
Sunday paper as promised nor the set
of dishes, consisting of forty-two
pieces.
The plan was to promise to give free
of charge a copy of the Sunday papers
for eighteen consecutive weeks, and as
a bonus, the set of dishes, on the pay
ment of 70 cents.
