ALMOND MEAL MAY BE

made from eight ounces OF pure almond
meal, one ounce of powdered orris root,
two ounces Of CASTLE soap (scraped and
powdered. one-half Il dram of oil Of
bergamont, four drops of bitter almond
oil and quarter of a dram of extract Of
musk. The powders should be thor
ouShly mingled and then slowly worked
into the oils. pressing finally through
fine sieve that all Jumps may be dis

the powder is sprinkled over, rubbing
with soap. The face is treated in the
same way.
Another cleansing and softening agent
is a paste made from twenty-five grams
of honey. twenty grams of powdered
five grams of storaX and fifteen grams of
powdered Sperrnaceti. This Is stirred I'M

practically dry. To use small bits are
broken and rubbed with water as soap
would be.
Almond milk as skin food and lotion
is highly eXtolled and while not easy to
make can be accomplished even by anna
teurs. For this thirty good sized al
monds are blanched and broken. A tea
spoonful of graduated sugar is then add

is slowly worked over. pounding all the
time. The object is to reduce the nuts
to the finest powder. They should be in

the lotion stands for twenty-fOur hours

NEW YORK, December aS.-The formal
complaint in the damage suit of Francis
j. Heney of San Francisco against Will

aire, for $25OO0O on an allegation Of libel.
has been filed here. Mr.. Heney bases his
action on an open letter bearing Mr.
Crocker's name, which appeared In New
York evening newspaper December .. IN
which Mr.. Croker defended his action In
first supporting Heney in the San Fran
cisco graft prosecutions and later with
drawing his support.
Statement of Heney's Counsel.
James NJ. Beck, counsel for Mr.. Heney.
said:
LAS soon as Mr.. Crockeris letter was
published Mr.. Heney telegraphed me to
bring this suit. Mr.. Heney. who nearly
gave his life to the cause Of exposing cor
ruption in San Francisco, desires to set
tie at once and for all time the question
as to whether he conducted the prosecu-
ton against the San Francisco grafters
in an honorable and legitimate way. In
the heat Of the great contest In San Fran
cisco many charges were made by ire
sponsible men against Mr.. Heney. but
when Mr.. Croker assumed responsibility
for these charges and gave them wide cir
culation in a responsible organ Of public
opinion Mr.. Heney felt that his oppor-
tunity had come to have a jury OF his fell
low-countrymen determine the justice or
injustice Of the accusations against him.
