ARREST CAUSES MAN
TO END HIS OWN LIFE

NEW YORK, Aug. 3O-Because Pat
rick Gaffney sober, industrious me-
chanic of so, could not master his
humiliation over what he felt was a
false arrest, he hanged himself late
last night in his home in the Bronx.
The man was a widower with two
grown daughters. He never missed
a days work and did not drink.
Following his arrest on trivial
charge, not sustained in court, he
threw up his job, began to drink heav-
lily and sank steadily deeper into des-
pair.

Inventor Declares Insects Do Not
Worry Him

ORANGE, N. j., Aug. S0.-Several
residents of northern New Jersey nave
sent Thomas A, Edison a petition urg-
ing him to turn his inventive genius
against the Jersey mosquito, the raw
ages of which they say this summer
have been the most serious in many
years.
81 never am bothered by the mo-
sauitoes," Mr.. Edison told some of his
neighbors when the subject was
brought up. "You see l am deaf
enough so that 1 can't hear them COM
ing. I think their hum must be worse
than their bite, for everybody growls
whenever a mosquito huns"
Mr.. Edison has made no formal re-
ply to the petitioners.

to Idaho without requisition papers,
but by threats to take him to
Libby he agreed to come. When
he reached Leonis he got off The

QUITE A SENSATION.
Is the Collection of 1880 New Designs
by Professor Max Hagendorn.

Seldom is a college so fortunate as
Washburn in securing the services of
an artist SO competent, with such a
treasure of ideas, with so many de-
signs and works-each a masterpiece
as when Professor Max Habendorn took
charge of the Art Institute at Wash
burn.
Time is well spent in visiting the
wonderful display of his paintings,
drawings and designs. He has designed
and added to this collection until at
present there are 1850 separate and
distinct pieces along the same type of
work.
After Christmas, Prof. Hagendorn will
send his collection to New York and
later to Germany.
This collection will make a genuine
sensation in the large cities where this
line of work is fully appreciated
Following the special exhibition of
his collection of designs in New York
Professor Hagendorn will arrange a
display of oil painting. This will pos
sibly be put in next fall

EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON.

Why do men, as a rule, have clearer
and better skins than women?
1 have often heard that question pro-
pounded, but up to yesterday never
heard any answer except whimsical
comments on the cruelty of the fate
that arranged matters that way.
Yesterday it was asked in the pres
ence of a doctor man, who startled us
by answering:
Probably because they shave"
What has that got to do with it ?"
we retorted.
Just that a man who shaves keeps
his skin in good condition by giving it
Il thorough massage everyday with a
very fine soap and a brush"
But why couldn't women do that?'
Il suppose they could if they wanted
to-
And would it really improve their
skins?"
1T most certainly would. If any
woman, who has a rough or pimply or
sallow skin, would get a brush and 4
stick of shaving soap or any other
soap as pure, and would cleanse and
massage her face every morning Just
as thoroughly as her brother does when
he shaves, I'll guarantee she would
have an infinitely better skin in short
time"

beauty EXPERT.
1 don't pretend to be able to teach
my readers now 10 be beautiful though
homely, but every once in awhile 1 get
a letter from "Edyth" or Violet" or
"Amarylis'' or "Palecheeks" on this
most important of subjects.
And the most common question is a
request for a receipt for a skin lotion
that will make a homely, sallow skin
clear and attractive
OF course, I can't give that
If I could l should have a fortune

No one can give that receipt no mat
ter what alluring advertisers, who
know the feminine puolic's longing to
be fooled on this question. may say.
But if any girl really wants an at
tractive skin enough to work for it
why not try my doctor friends pre-
eeription for a few months?
And while I am about it here are one
or two more beauty hints
The red corpuScleS in the blood are
increased by sleep more than by anything
else. In other words the best wav tC

hour or two of sleep every night. re
sure that you. have plenty of fres+
air in your chamber-fOr sleep needs
oxygen to help it in this process-and
every moment that you put in in this
way will add to your red corpuscIes.
Above all things, remember that the
best way to improve the skin is to i'm.

condition of the bowels and kidneys
which in their functions are closely re-
lated to the skin.

Add level teaspoonful of salt and
one of sugar. Scald this with three
cupfuls of water heated to the boiling
point. Reduce to a temperature of
one hundred and eight degrees with
cold water, using milk thermometer
to enable you to get exactly the right
temperature. Then add flour and mix
to a good batter; after the batter is
made, mix in your starter that was
made the night before. Cover the
stone jar with plate and put the
jar in a large kettle of water and keep
this water at a temperature of one
hundred and eight degrees until the
sponge rises. It should rise at least an
inch and a half. When it has raised

and put into pans. Do not let the
heat get out of the dough while

be warm and rise. After the loaves
rise bake in a medium oven for one
hour and ten minutes. When you take
the loaves from the oven wrap them

the most fastidious, I should say; but
it has the Theodore Roosevelt and
the Governor Stubs Endorsement and
official o. K. for being the grandest
bread that ever came out of an oven.

CHARITY HOSPITAL CLOSES.
Chicago Public Declined to Sustain 1t
Any Longer.

Chicago. Nov. 19.-The Chicago
Charity hospital has been closed after
twenty years struggling for existence.
The public refused to longer support
it and the building and equipment were
sold to another hospital. It was the
only free institution of its kind in Chi
cago.
We gave more for the money than
any charity in Chicago asserted Mar
vim B. Poole, vice president of the in
stltutton. THE matrons received
small salaries. The doctors charged
practically nothing for operating. Our
large expense was for food and heat.
But the public never had the in
terest in it that has been shown for
less worthy charities. 1t has been an
effort to maintain the hospital ever
since it opened. The directors have
contributed large sums for years but
felt they could no longer bear the bur
den in the face of the pubIic's indiffer-
ence.'
