PROPER CARE OF SKIN
MANY EADLY AFFECTED BY SOAP
IN COLD WEATHER.
Drying Effect of Cold Causes Skin to
Crack PalnfuIly-WashIn Pow
ders That Are Cleansing, Soft
ening and Refining.

Persons with delicate skin some
soap In cold weather that to try to get
clean with 1t is to harm the flesh. AL
most every one knows that cold Is
drying to the skin; that, for example,
Is one reason that finger tips, which
may be all right through the summer,
sometimes crack painfully; cold has
dried out the natural lubricating oils.
Even when the drying process does
not go to this extent the skin will be-
come roughened by 1t, and when this
happens dust settles under in a way
which makes eradication impossible.
One woman, whose skin is like pa
per in its delicacy, counteracts the ef-
feet of soap by always rubbing her
hands with grease before she washes
them. Either vaseline or cold cream
serves the purpose, and the fingers
and backs are well covered with It..
Then washing Is done with a bland
soap and warm water, drying with
great care follows, and the skin stays
smooth and white.
1t is impossible to lay down a rule
as to the use Of soap. It's effects is in
fiuenced entirely by the natural con-
dition of the skin on which 1t is put.
and what may suit one person perfect
ly may be too greasy or too drying for
another. Contrary to a general belief,
CASTLE soap disagrees with many per-
sons. 1t is extremely drying to the
average adults skin. and though 1t
suits babies admirably, it ceases to
agree as they grow older. Palm oil is
one Of the simplest, looking not unlike

desirable with persons to whom CASTLE
is positively injurious.
Various washing powders, so-called
soap substitutes, are good, but so elab-
crate to make that few care to go to

their basis is ground almonds, and un.
less one has all the utensils with
which to work 1t becomes absolutely
impractical to prepare the powder
properly.
Nevertheless, one that has stood
high in favor since before the time of
our grandmothers is made from eight
ounces each of Jordan almonds,
blanched and ground, and wheat flour.
two ounces Of powdered orris root,
one-eighth of an ounce of oil of lemon
and one dram of oil of bitter almonds.
The mixture, after 1t has been care
fully combined. is kept in tightly
covered glass jar.
To use, the hands are wet and
about teaspoonful of the powder is
put into the palm. the hands being

MYSTERY IN STEEL FIGURES.
fAssocIatea Press1

NEW YORK. Oct, 14.-Increased ac-
tivity In stock market dealings today
showed its effect on the money market,
but in no such degree as to restrain
activity, Loans on call made today
carry over until Monday, and the ex-
emption from any severe strain built
up confidence in the amplitude of re-
sources. The special requirements in
addition to the stock market to be met
in the payment of large sums tomorrow
for dividends and interest made tran
quillity Of the money market the more
noticeable and increased the belief
that the resources would be returned
to the money market next week.
The higher call loan rate this week
is believed to have proved attractive
to the trust companies and other in
Etitutions outside the clearing house
and so to have relieved the demand on
the banks for credits in connection
with the stock market activity.
The selling in the afternoon reaction
obviously was induced by the attrac-
tive profits accrued and there was no
furry in money.
The dealings in United States Steel
We're on an enormous scale and recall
the days of great markets of the past.
The growing congestion of dealings
In this one stock generated suspicion
of the general movement on the score
that desire to distribute a great
accumulation of this stock in the
hands of powerful private bankers lay
at the back OF the present movement.
The immediate news from the steel
trade showed no explanation of the
apparent heavy accumulation of this
stock. There was heard the conten-
tion, however, that events of the last
few days have shaped themselves in
favor of demand of the railroads for
advances in freight rates. It is as
sumed that the assurance of increased
revenues to the railroads will release
large orders for material from that
source, which have been held in abey-
ance while the rate cases were being
argued.
Bonds were firm. Total sales. par

were unchanged on call.
