 This practice has the further ad- vantage of preserving and protecting the color and texture of the skin, and should certainly be followed when playing outdoor games. especially in winter time, or doing anything likely to soil or roughen the skin.

tailed report of the offenders un-

scription of what is being done
to run down lawbreakers.

cunning to accumulate money
without giving anything in re-
turn for it.
Under the bureau of investi-

addition to these, the bureau calls
