RESTORING COMpLExIONs

The following prescription is
contributed as being one of the
most remarkable known for
bringing back the rosy tint of
youth to the skin:
Two ounces Rose Water; one
ounce Spirits of Cologne: four
ounces Sartoin. Put the Sartoin
into a pint of hot water (not
boiling) and when dissolved and
cooled add the Rose Water and
Spirits of Cologne and strain
through a fine cloth. Any large
bottle will serve as q receptacle
If it can be closed air-tight-
These simple ingredients can
be obtained at any we'll stocked
drug store and easily mixed at
home. This preparation should
be applied once day after
washing. 1t is said the results
become apparent after the first
few applications but the treat
ment should be continued until
the rose tint complexion be-
comes permanent.

VALLEJO WATER SYSTEM
ACCEPTED BY TRUSTEES
New Lake Holding 750,0O0,000
Gallons Cost $4,000
Especial Dispdich TO The Call

VALLEJO. June 24.-The board of
trustees and the board of works in
joint session accepted the new mu-
nicipal reservoir constructed in Wild
Horse valley by Contractor Louis More
ing of Stockton. The new lake will
hold 10000 900 gallons of water and
will cost the city about $4,000, in
cluding the 900 paid for the site.
This new reservoir and the old lake
give the city supply of 100000 gall
Ions of water a day, or enough for two
years. This system also supplies the
Mare Island navy yard.
The benefit of municipal ownership
to the consumer is shown in the fig
ures of the navy department. which
purchases water for the warships that
visit San Francisco and Vallejo. The
water here is pure mountain crystal
and costs the government only Is
cents per 1000 gallons. The water that
the Spring Valley company supplies
San Francisco costs almost double that
amount and is far poorer in quality.

Apathy and popular discouragement
over the defeat OF the strictly local i'm
provement propositions Tuesday fur
nish the only apparent excuse for the
people OF san Francisco permitting

Less Than Tuesdays Vote
Only one out of IS assembly districts
polled as many votes yesterday as on
Tuesday. The big thirty-ninth district.
the Richmond side Of which is traversed
by the Geary street line, polled 40 votes
more than on Tuesday and rolled up
something like 100 more than the
necessary two thirds majority.
Nine out Of IS assembly districts
gave more than the required two-thirds
majority, and three districts returned
actual matorities against the bonds.
These were the fortieth, forty-first and
forty-third districts, in which ma
jority Of the votes Of the electors with
& natural corporation bias are cast.
The whole vote cast yesterday was
1.T70 less than that cast Tuesday; more
than 1000 less than was cast on the
same question in 1902. and approXi-
nnately 5000 less than the Geary street

I will be in favor of resubmit
ting the proposition If the people
wish It They can make their wish
apparent by petitioning the board
in the usual way. The petitions
would be placed before the public
utilities committee, which would
make its recommendation to the
whole board. Unless there is
public demand for the resubrnis
sion of the proposition I do NOT
think that the board would persist

of the expense which a special
election entails
