pOrtunity to commend them. but
there is one rule that CRATES on
the nerves of most OF the members.
This is the rule against smoking. II 1t
cQmpOrted with Senate dignity. no doubt
the anti-smoking rule would be abol-
ished in short order.
The question is often asked. What
goes on in executive session. Well. the
first thing that happens is that the Sem
ate proceeds to light up" and take a
smoke. The doors have no sooner closed
than Senators reach for their cigars.
One Of the first to do so is Senator Root
Senator Jonathan Bourne of Oregon is a
great smoker, and keeps a well-moist-
ened box Of long black ones in his desk.
Senator Hepburn of Idaho is another
statesman who is fond of good smoke
and uses many cigars. Senator Lodge
smokes freely-sOmetimes cigars, some
times cigarettes. OF course, no one
would think of lighting a cigarette in
tor, so far as known. smoke a pipe
about the chamber or in the cloak
rooms.
Senator Daniel Of Virginia likes a
cigar. but he chews II instead Of smOk-
ing It. Tillman doesn't smoke, nor
drink, for that matter. Senator Cum
Minis OF Iowa smokes strong cigars,
and plenty Of theTe. Senator Dolliver
also smokes freely Senator La Toilette
is another smoker
Senator Hale of Maine hates smoke.
He has to stand it in executive session,
but not around his committee room.

How to Remove Dark FreckIes.


An almond-lemOn plaster is the best
remedy for removing dark freckles.
Smooth tablespoonful of dry mus
tard with lemon juice and then add
teaSpoonful of oil Of almonds. Thi4
treatment is strenuous and should be
taken in the evening just before re-
firing. Spread the paste evenly all
over the skin. taking great care to
keep it away from the eyes as much
as possible. IN few minutes the
paste begins to burn the skin. and then
it should be washed off Immediately
The burning sensation means that the
skin is beginning to bleach. Be sure
to get the face thoroughly cleaned
with hot water and then massagera
good cold cream or skin food into the
skin. Only few days of this treat
ment are necessary, and then the face
peels as it does when Sunburned.
Even the most obstinate freckles may
be removed with this treatment. The
rosewater and borax solution must be
used every few days to keep the skin
free from freckles.

CARE OF FLOWER BEDS.
How to Keep Them Beautiful All
Through the Summer.


All flower beds should at this season
of the year be kept in proper shape
and condition. All seed pods and
withered and yellow leaves should be
carefully cleaned and picked off. Ere
Quent stirring with the hoe is good.
But not deep enough to q any way
injure the roots. 1t is good idea
every time you NOW the grass to take
a sharp spade and cut the edge of all
your flower beds. 1t keeps the grass
from encrOaching on the beds and also
keeps the beds to their proper shape
and form and makes them have a
fresh and neat appearance.
By August many of the soft grow
Ing foliage bedding plants, such as
coleus. alternantheras achryanthus.
ETC., will be growing freely and should
be kept cut back and not allowed to
become struggling. To be pretty, beds
having plants of this kind should be
uniform. The various colors should
not be allowed to intermingle. Golden
colOred plants should not have red
foliage ones sticking their shoots up
through the yellow. etc. This is easily
prevented by constantly pinching. The
main point is to commence pinching
early and take the tip out of the
young growth. In this way you can
scarcely see that the work is going
on. If, however, you neglect them IN
til the plants are very tall then you

Some beds are greatly benefited by
