One of the curiosities of nature to
be seen in Argentina is the rocking
stone of Tandi, 2Oj miles from Buenos
Ayres, on the Southern railway. The
stone measures Is feet in height by 16
in diameter and, apparently, is bal
anced on the crest of a huge mass of
solid rock. The phenomenon is eX-
planned by the fact Of a circular pro
trusion on the under side of the stone
which, fitting snugly into a depres-
sion in the foundation, holds it in

Health and Beauty Advice
BY MRS. MAE MARTYN

J. H: To retain your charming COM
pleXlon your tender skin needs better
freckles than face powder. There isfno
finer complexion beautifier to be had
than the lotion made by dissolving four
ounces of spurmaX in half-pint hot
glycerine. While the use of this lotion
can not be detected when applied to
the face, neck and arms, it transforms
an ordinary complexion into one of girl
ish attractiveness. 1t does not show or
rub off like face powder and holds
against perspiration. Spurmax lotion
skin and make it youthful and charm
ing. 1t is unequaled for overcoming &
that, shiny, greasy look which is so
troublesome to so many ladies.
Helen: You are taking quite risk
using dry shampoos" for, unless the
powder is brushed out thoroughly it will
clog up the pores in the scalp and cause
only by using water AS it is danger
Gus to use soap and most ready--pre--
they contain, which tends to kill the
hair, making it dull, faded and Streaky,
want you TO try shampoo made from
one teaspoonful of canthroX, dissolved
in cup of hot water, and / know you
will be more than pleased with the re-
suits. This shampoo fathers splendidly,
cleanses thoroughly and dries quickly.
1t will stop itching scalp, remove dan
druff and leave the hair bright, soft
and fluffy This shampoo has given
such excellent satisfaction that it is
now being used exclusively by many
hairdressers
Elaine T.: You would look much
younger and far more charming if you
would use regularly a good cream to
remove those wrinkles, reduce the size
of the large pores below your eyes, and
make your face appear plump and
smooth. splendid, greaseless cream
jelly of this kind can easily be made
n M a m
in half-pint cold water, then adding
two teaspoonfuls glycerine. Stir and
let stand over night. This cream will
soften and smooth your skin, removing
that flabbiness of which you speak
This preparation cleanses the skin
and is excellent for massag-
ing. 1t is particularly good in treat
ing tan, freckles, blackheads and for
removing oil from the skin which
causes that shiny look so common DUR
ing warm weather.

TRANSPORTATION
CLUB VOTES CAST
TOrpey Is President and Melvin
of Fruit Gamers Next
in Rank

Edward H. Torpey, soliciting freight
agent of the star union line of the
Pennsylvania railroad and one of the
most popular and prominent members
of the Transportation club of this
city, was yesterday elected president
of the club to serve for the ensuing
year. Torpey succeeds Charles j.
Jones. formerly assistant general
freight agent of the Southern Pacific
company, who has become traffic man
ager of the Alaska railroad and steam
ship interests Of the .Guggenheims at
Seattle.
j. G. Melvin, traffic, manager for the
California fruit Gamers association,
director of the club, was elected first
vice president and E.. E. Wade, chief
clerk of the passenger department of
the Southern Pacific, was elected a
director.
Torpey was with the Southern Pa
cific freight department for many Years
prior to going to the Pennsylvania.
He has been with the latter road since
1902. He has served as director of
the club for several terms and as vice
president and has always been one of
the most enthusiastic members.
f. &. Wade has been secretary Of
the club for the last two years and
through his able management he has
made the institution one of the most
prosperous in the city. He has sue
ceeded in swelling it's membership to
more than 400 and can proudly boast
that his is one of the few clubs that
has no debt. J. G. Melvin is one of the
younger members of the club. He has
had the best interests of the club at
heart and has worked increasingly for
its success

the nomination, has neither the league
nor the machine behind him, although
it is understood that his candidacy is
favored by Johnnie Lynch.
SWEENEY LOOKS SURE
With a strong machine and labor
element, represented by Burke and
DAM respectively, behind Kennedy,
Sweeney is almost sure of the repub-
lican nomination over the other candi
dates, and just as sure of defeat by
Kennedy in the finals. The summary
of the whole situation is that the same
machine elements that are aligned be-
hind Anderson in the gubernatorial
fight are playing democratic favorite
against republicans in the senatorial
district composed of the thirtythird
and thirty fourth assembly districts.
The persistent rumors of democratic
opposition to Theodore Bell for the
gubernatorial nomination seem to be
absolutely without foundation. Not
"A day goes by but some name or an
other is flashed as a possibility, but
the flashes have a habit of fizZling.
Since NJ F. Tarpey of Fresno appeared
suddenly in the spotlight, only to re-
tire gracefully when the question of
his eligibility as candidate was raised,
there has been no serious threat of
a contest. Mayor Beverly Hodghead
of Berkeley and Thomas o. Toland of
Ventura, who was Bells running mate
four years ago, have been mentioned
as possible candidates, but each has re-
mained silent, kept his own counsel
and given no assent to the suggestion.
1t is more than likely that an in
dorsement by the McNab wing of the
democratic party would be withheld
from any candidate, and that no candi-
date could secure the active or open
support of the anti-Ben faction. With
out this. any opposition to Bell could
not take on serious proportions.

TAXICAB COMPANY
RUNNING TOO FAST
Stock Holder Alleges That $780,
600 Has Been Misappropri-
ated Through Directors

The directors of the Pacific Coast
taximeter cab company were charged
yesterday with permitting the misap-
preparation of $4,000 by the officers of
the company. The accusation was
made in a complaint filed in the su-
perior court by P. A. Rollins, a stock
holder, who asks that the court order
an accounting and compel the directors
to restore the missing money.
The directors of the corporation are /:
w. P. Twist, ]. P. Twist, Lillian G.
Twist. R. A. Crothers. F. NJ. Fairchild,
G. Stevens, j. I. Plunkett, G. o. Faunce,
H. Wilson, H NJ. Wright. d. L. Crosby.
A. H. Hayes, William Wilson, NJ. F.
Wilson and Horace wilson
OF the $4,000 alleged TO have been
misappropriated during the time the
defendants were directors, more than
$4,000 is stated to have been illegally
paid out for the printing and dissemi-
nation of a fraudulently exaggerated
prospectus. This prospectus, Rollins
asserts, contained inflated statements
OF values, expenditures, profits and of
the pecuniary condition of the company,
and its purpose was to give the stock
greater market price than 1T actually
possessed Rollins asserts that the
directors have committed a felony, their
conduct in issuing the alleged fraudu-
lent prospectus being in violation of
section 564 of the penal code.
Rollins also charges that $4,000 was
wrongfully paid by the directors to the
Western rapid transit company for pur-
poses other than the satisfaction of
just demand, and in violation of section
363 of the penal code. Another allega-
tion made against the directors is that
they divided among certain stock
holders $4,000 shares of stock, also in
contravention of provision of, the
penal code. This left the stock holders
and creditors without any security
whatever, and the corporation without
money with which to satisfy claims
against it.
Rollins has a judgment against the
company for $191 and owns 10 shares.
He sues in behalf of all creditors and
stock holders. The Pacific taximeter
company was incorporated for $1,000
900 in February, 1908. Daniel O'Connell
is the attorney for Rollins.

Alice W. If it makes you feel mis-
erableN to be so fat, take before each
by dissolving four ounces of parnotis
in l " pints warm water. This makes
an excellent flesh reducer. 1t is harm
less and does not require dieting TO the
point of starvation as do most flesh re-
ducers. 1t generally cuts down fat
rapidly without injuring ones health,
and has given splendid results where
other remedies failed.
Miss L. p: You can't expect to look
charming unless your hair looks bright
and Is well cared for. To put your hair
and scalp in a healthy condition, sham
twice a week rub into the hair roots a
quinine tonic. made by dissolving an
ounce of quinzoin in half-pint alcohol,
then add half-pint cold water. This
tonic will clear your scalp of dandruff
stop your hair from falling out, and
make 1T soft and glossy. You will find
this tonic very refreshing and much
better than any ready prepared tonic
you can buy. 1t makes an excellent
hair dressing, and will keep the hair
from looking stringy or dull
f. T. S.: Your face will never look
pretty as long as it is so sallow and
IS covered with unsightly .pimples.
These indicate that your blood is out of
order. You can easily correct this con-
dfHn by 5akag fd0e ada eaeh meal s
solving one-half cup sugar and one
ounce kardene in one-half pint alcohol
then adding boiling water to make a
full quart. This oldfashioned tonic
purifies the blood, aids digestion and
arouses torpid liver. Take this
few weeks and it will restore your lost
appetite and make you feel energetic
and fine.
Mrs. A. V. W.: The same eye remedy
you speak of as being so good is now
being used and recommended exclusively
by many of the best oculists and eye
specialists. 1t is very simple remedy
Anyone can prepare it by dissolving an
ounce of crystos in one pint water A
few drops in each eye daily will do
wonders for those bothered with weak,
tired, inflamed or watery eyes. 1t also
is splendidefor treating granulated eye
lids. 1t is soothing, siren gthening, and
will put expression into dull eyes. Many
who wear glasses find them unnecessary
after using this eye remedy for time.
