PRIZE ESSAYS.

The approaching completion of the
High School buildings will soon neces-
state the grading and arrangement of
the school property grounds. No one is
more interested in having this work
properly done than the pupils who are
to use them, and no landscape gardener
should attempt the task without con-
sulting them. In order to stimulate
suggestion on this point THE CITIZEN
offers the scholars of the Public School
two prizes of 81 90 each for the best two
essays on "The Best Way to Arrange
the New School House Grounds" the
competition to close April 18th. The ar
ticles, which must not exceed four num-
dred words in length, are not to be
signed, but the name OF the writer must
be written on separate slip, and en-
closed in an envelope with the essay.
The contributions will benumbered and
submitted to competent judges who will
decide on their respective merits. The
winning essays with the names of the
authors will appear in the first number
of THE CITIZEN following the award.

Blocking Castro's Game.

Whether Castro left Venezuela Of his
own sweet will or got the toe OF the
boot from his people Ii of small i'm
portance now. His getting back is an
other matter. Venezuela repudiated
him when he was at a safe distance
and could well AFFORD to do so with
several powerful countries applauding
her courage for reasons Of their own.
Fortunately the enemies Castro has
made are many. The role Of a pro-
tector is often abused where a big ma
ton with an ak to grind mixes into the
AFFAIRS of a weaker one.
Several countries have the best OF
reasons for wanting Castro squelched.
and the safest way to avoid complica-
tions seems to be to back up his home
enemies. The policeman's club in this
case is international. There Ia less OF
a menace In that than In the possible
rehabilitation Of Castro.

IN MEMOR|AM
Brooklyn Pastor Breaks
Down at Service.
LOVING TRIBUTE TO GEO. {. GALE
Impressive Eulogy to Dead Man
Whose Body Was Inferred in
Greenwood.
From the Brooklyn Eagle, April 81

lErOm tne bTOOklyn bdktes April OJ
Impressive services were read,
last night, over the remains of Geo.
e. Gale, the we'll known citizen and
capitalist, who died at his residence,
1906 Albemarle road, Friday morn
ing. The Rev. DR.. Macy McGee
Waters rendered eulogy, during
which he broke down and sobbed the
words he uttered. The clergyman,
whose ten years of close intimacy
with Mr. Gale had given him an op-
portunity to study him closely, de-
scribed him as the embodiment Of
four virtues-sincerity, guileless-
ness, friendliness and charitableness.
You have all come here to pay
silent tribute to a friend, a true
friend" he said. II have known
MIR. Gale for ten years, and can
say that he was one who would
frown on anything that was not
strictly sincere and honest. He
was proud, very proud, Of bis
father, and he inherited that inn
pulse for righteousness and secret
charity. His good work was done
SO quietly that often his family were
not aware of the fine uses he made
of his money. He was above small
things, and no one could appreciate
friendship more keenly than he. But
he was modest in friendship. He
would, however, go half way with
all good men,
DR.. Waters recalled MIR. Gales
earlier days when he did not pos
sess the worldly goods that were his
at the time of his death. He called
him a family man, and also one
whose every dollar was worth one
hundred cents. The service was
concluded with prayers for the dead,
followed by the Apostles Creed.
While the pastor spoke and told
of the dead mans church charity,
as he had personally observed it,
and his long attendance at church
and Bible class, many of those pres
ent wept.
When the pastor had completed
his services for the dead, Miss Kel-
logg, in beautiful voice, rendered
Nearer My God to Thee and
Lead, Kindly Light" Miss Kel-
logg sings in the choir of the Tomp.
kins Avenue Congregational Church.
of which DR.. Waters is pastor, and
which Mr.. Gale and his family had
attended.
Besides Miss Kellogg, Ross David
tenor, and Benjamin F. Russell
baritone, rendered "Hark, Hark, My
Soul" The burial took place al
1880 o'clock this morning from
1905 Albemarle road, the body be-
ing taken to the receiving vault in
the family plot in Greenwood GENE
terry. DR.. Waters accompanied the
body to the cemetery. Many friends
from the Union League Club, the
Manufacturers Association, the
Mystic Shriners and Odd Fellows at
tended the funeral services.

THE GOOD COMPLEXION.
Simple Remedies Which Every One
May Apply With Safety.

There Is no excuse for the woman
who has a bad complexion. Find out
the cause, my dear madam and rem.
edy It.
There are two reasons for poor
skin, outward irritation and sluggish
condition of the internal organs.
No woman who has bad digestion
or Intestinal troubles need ever dream
Of having a clear, bright skin. She
seek the aid of a good doctor. No wo-
man who is afraid of pure air can ever
be beauty, and she who wears tight
clothes is actually suffocating the
pores of her skin, so that they cannot
breathe, and the result is notified
unhealthy pallor.
If you sleep in room with windows
your health and If you exercise. you
are bound to have a good color-not
necessarily rosy cheeks, but healthy
tinge. The texture of your skin may
not suit you-that is matter for local
treatment-but don't make the mistake
Of applying the local treatment first
when the trouble is more than skin
deep.
And before l speak Of the different
forms of treatment I want to observe
that the daily tub bath and rundown
do more for the texture Of the skin
Of the face than anything else. They
stimulate the circulation and work
wonders in that way.
Now, as to other things, the face
every night with hot water and pure
soap Of the mildest quality. The water
should be as hot as one can stand.
This opens the pores Of the skin and
frees the dirt and impurities. But
after this hot application the skin
should be carefully rinsed for If soap
is allowed to stay It makes 1t yellow
and leathery), and then cold water, ice
water preferred, should be applied to
the face to close the pores.
The woman who washes her face
with hot water and then goes right out
into the dust Of the street is bound to
have sagging face and coarse pores
More than that, she will be no stranger
to blackheads. as these are caused by
dirt accommodating in enlarged pores
So don't forget the cold water applica
tion.
Before retiring at night the same
| washing with hot water should occur
only instead Of closing the pores will
the cold application they should bt
allowed to stay open to receive nour
ishment in the shape Of good skil
food skillfully massaged into the tis
sue.
The finger tips should move I'm f;
rotary motion, the entire movement
being upward. Special care should bt
given to the lines around the moutl
and the eyes and those on the fore
head, which should be rubbed with
/ sidewise motion.
Under no circumstance should an!
lotion containing lanolin be used OIL
the face, as this grows down in yer.
short order.
The cream should be all rubbed il
so that none remains on the surface
and the face should be wiped of will
soft towel. Women with oily skin:
who are compelled to use powder il
the daytime should wash it all off be
fore retiring and not use the retirin,
cream more than once a week for mas
sage. The skin in their case needs tn
nights for perfect rest. 1t must remail
uncovered for at least part of tn
twenty-four hours.
Blackheads may be removed b.
steaming, which is easily done by pin
ming a towel over the head and bend
ing 1t over a basin of boiling water
