Use of Cold Cream and Avoidance
of Sudden Changes of Tempera-
ture Are Important.

The greatest dangers to the skin of
the face with housekeeping lie in fire
and dust. The face, like the hands,
should be washed twice a day-that is,
we'll washed-but with soap only at
night. II the morning sweeping has
coated it with dust, take this off first
with cold cream and a soft rag. Pre-
pare the bath with warm or hot
water. | find hot most beneficial-use
an oily soap and e that the face
cloths are frequently changed and
always summed after using. Never for
get for a moment that the skin of the
face is more delicate than that OF any
part If the body. and that swift
changes OF temperature, such as going
directly from a hot fire into a cold
cellar, are very injurious to 1t. This
tends to thicken and harden the skin,
to give 1t the coarse, ba~dly-treated
look which the faces of SO many hard
worked women present.

Reoion Of Interest to NaturaIists.

Recent exploration of the Athabasca-
Mackenzie region shows that it con-
tains many valuable fur-bearing ami
mails, and it appears also to be the
home of the last wild remnant of
the American bison family. The herds
OF bison are not numerous, and they
are being rapidly exterminated by
wolves. The Canadian musk OK also
inhabits this region, and in the spring,
when the rivers and springs escape
from the frost. great f1ocks of birds,
including most of the migratory game
birds of America, resort thither to
breed.

Will Consider Buying 1t Next
Wednesday.

Lexington, KY, Nov. 27.-It was an
nOunced here today that the executive
committee of the American Tobacco
company would meet next Wednesday
to consider a proposition made by the
Burley Tobacco society for the sale of
one hundred and twenty million
pounds of tobacco of the 1909 crop to
the company.
r. K. Smith, vice president and head
of the leaf tobacco department of the
American Tobacco company, has car
ried on the negotiations with the Bur-
ley society.
If the deal is consummated, 1t will
be the largest transaction of its kind
on record.
Washington, Nov. 27.-More than one
hundred and fifty million pounds of
cigar tobacco and nearly four times
that quantity of the other types of to-
baccO was grown in the United States
in 1908, according to a bulletin issued
by the department of agriculture to-
day.
Kentucky leads all the states in to-
baCcO growing, producing more than
one-third of the crop of the country
and about one-ninth of the entire crop
of the world. While tobacco is pro-
duced in almost every state, less than
one per cent of this countrys crop is
grown west of the Mississippi river
Texas being the only trans Mississippi
state in which the industry has gained
much Importance.

terest in the debate remains undimin-

dia, will reopen the discussion Monday.
He will be followed by Lord Curzon,
former vicerOy of India. Then the
financiers will have their say, Lord
Rothschild speaking on behalf of the
Unionists and Lord Swaythling for the
Liberals. Earl Cawdor and the Earl of
CreWe will make the principal speeches
on Tuesday.
There have been no further develop
ments in the situation and the discus
sions In the press and about town are
confined to conjectures as to what
course the government will take.
It is certain Premier Asquith will
give notice affirming the uncontrolled
right of the house of commons in re-
spect of financial matters, There is a
possibility Lord BalfOur of Burleigh
will reply to this with an amendment
proposing that a change in the system
in the taxation of such Importance
should be referred to the people. The
premier's motion of course viii pre-
vail, and then it will be up to the gov
eminent to decide whether the house
shall be prOrOgued or merely adjourned.
The decision of the government will
be of the greatest Importance so far
as finances are concerned. as the only
authority now existing for collecting
the income tax and other duties rests
on the resolutions passed Immediately
after the Introduction of the budget.
If parliament IS prorogued these resO-
lutiOns will come to an end and the col
lection of taxes will have to stop
