Health and Beauty Queries
BY MRS. MAE MARTYN.

Airline: If you find face powder so
unsatisfactory to use as warm weather
approaches, since 1t seems to clog up
the pores of the skin, try lotion made
by dissolving four ounces of spurmax
in a half pint hot water, adding two
teaspoonfuls glycerine. This lotion is
inexpensive and when applied to your
face. and arms will not show or rub
off like powder. 1t will free the COM
plexion from freckles, tan, sunburn,
and make any shiny, sallow, muddy
skin beautiful by giving 1t youthful.
pinkish appearance. This is the best
complexion beautifier 1 have ever seen.
"Tired Eyes: Where your eyes ap-
pear infamed and continually have
that tired, overworked feeling you
should lose no time in treating them
with a good, strengthening tonic. Get
an ounce of crystos, dissolve 1T in
half pint water, and drop few drops
in each eye occasionally. Although a
very simple remedy, you will find it
the best. 1t will not smart the eyes,
but is very soothing. I find 1t excellent
for relieving eye pain and weak, wa
terry eyes, and it is a great aid to those
who wear glasses.
B. L.: The rate at which you have
taken on excess flesh need not alarm
you. You can easily remove this IAN
noying fat" by making harmless re-
ducer from four ounces parnotis dis
solved in 11S pints warm water, and
taking tablespoonful before each
meal. This should restore your former
slender figure in few weeks. 1t is
in no way injurious and does not leave
the skin flabby and wrinkled.
B. K. E.: The only hair tonic I
know which will really destroy the
dandruff in your scalp, stop your hair
from coming out, check the brittleness
and put your scalp in healthy cond-
tion is one you can prepare yourself.
Simply get an ounce of quinzoin and
dissolve it in a half pint of alcohol,
then add one-i alf pint cold water. 1t
is waste of money to buy most hair
tonics, as they do no good, but by
using this one about twice a week,
rubbing it gently into the roots of your
hair, you will be delighted to see how
bright and healthy your hair will soon
become. This quinine tonic makes
fine dressing for the hair and will not
cause it to become atringy, dull or
matted as most tonics do. - ------'.S1
Los Angeles herald., 1910-06-19

Madge: Very frequently a dark,
coarse-looking complexion comes from
the failure of soap and water to re-
move all dirt from the pores of the
skin. If you will dissolve an ounce of
almozoin in a half pint of cold water,
then add two teaspoonfuls glycerine,
stir and allow to stand a few hours
you will have a splendid cream jelly
for clearing up your skin. This cream
is greaseless, and will not cause hair
to grow on the face. l find 1t excellent
for softening and smoothing the skin
and for reducing the size of large
pores. 1t is fine for massaging to re-
move wrinkles, and if you will use it
regularly you will soon have a charm
ing, velvety complexion.
Bernice E.: Your hair will never look
it's best and be easy to do up as long
as you continue to shampoo with soap.
The alkali in soap and most ready
prepared shampoos eats the very life
out of your hair, makes it harsh and
brittle, and causes those faded, dis
colored streaks you speak of. Most
shampoos simply remove the oil and
dirt from the hair, but do not take out
the dirt from the hair roots, which
causes itching scalp, dandruff and
finally dead, falling hair with split
ends. If you will shampoo your hair
with a teaspoonful of canthrox dis
solved in a cup of hot water you will
find it most delightful. This shampoo
produces rich, creamy lather that
cleanses thoroughly, dries quickly and
leaves the hair soft, fluffy and the
scalp feeling fresh. This is by far the
best shampoo l ever tried, and my
friends to whom 1 have recommended
1t tell me it Is simply splendid.
Jane r.: Your sallow, pimply COM
pIexion comes from impure blood. You
should not neglect this any longer
Make a good system tonic and blood
purifier by dissolving one-half cup
sugar and one ounce kardene in one
half pint alcohol, adding enough boil
ing water to make a full quart; then
take tablespoonful before each meal,
and it will clear up your face and give
it color and expression. There is moth
ing that will quite equal this home
made tonic for restoring lost appetite,
putting the stomach and liver in order
and for toning up the system gener-
ally. ~--r

BUDGET COMMITTEE TO
HOLD OPEN SESSIONS
Public Welcome to Watch Coun-
CiImen Trim Various City
Departments Estimates

A radical departure from former
methods of handling the city's budget
was announced yesterday by w. j.
Washburn, chairman of the finance
committee of the council.
THE sessions of the budget commit
tee are to be open to the public said
Mr.. Washburn. I'VE intend to take
one department at a time and go
through the whole list, as cut of a
million dollars must be made altogeth-
er. We will probably begin Wednes-
day morning with either the park de-
partment or the department of public
works.
"A cut of more than a million must
be made to bring the department esti-
mates within the expected income. The
total amount asked for by all depart
ments is S4SS9, 1872. The estimated in
come is S3S30, COO This is based on the
assumption that there will be $1,100, 900
income from licenses and department
receipts, and that an 85-cent tax rate
will bring $2,750,000.
Last year the citys income was $3,-
43SS12, and $3,329,765 was allowed to
departments. The city's income eX-
ceeded the estimate more than 100000,
and not all the money awarded the de-
partments was spent There will be
balance left over that will help in the
total income"
Some of the largest estimates are
Police, $795,435 fire, $823,337; street,
S461 ,O85; park, $337,O65; light, $27O,OOO
sprinkling, $198, ,095; 80 sweeping, $177, ,129,
and fire alarm bureau, $174,3SO.

ACTRESS TELLS HER
MATRIMONIAL WOES
Fair RoSaIind Bernard Wants a
Divorce from Husband
Teammate

Rosalind Bernard, a vaudeville
actress who seemingly does not need
the aid of the makeup box to look well
in court, and who is seeking divorce
from Nat Bernard, an apostle of
the '1egit,' yesterday told her trou-
bles before Judge Hutton in the su-
perior court.
With eyes flashing from beneath ar
tistically arched brows, Mrs. Bernard
told of her marriage in Anadarko,
Okla, February 2S, 1907. At first all
was roseate and married life had all
the glamour of the stage. Soon, she
averred, matters changed, and she as
serted that though she lay i'll in hos
pital at Erie Pa, for three months in
1909, her husband, who was capable of
earning $3.50 a month, did not provide
for her but left her to the charity of
her friends.
Later she and her husband went to
Chicago, where he worked in various
theaters, but finally deserted her and
left her unprovided for, she said.
Judge Hutton took the matter under
satisfy him that she had made all eff
fort possible to serve papers upon her
husband. She said she did not know
where he was and SO resorted to pub
lication of the summons in news
papers.
So it still is uncertain whether the
vaudeville team of Bernard and Ber-
nard will be legally separated and the
plaintiff be permitted to resume her
maiden name of Pomeroy.

WATER COMPANY IS SUED
FOR FEW SHARES OF STOCK

To obtain certificates for five and one
half shares of stock in the corporation,
Julia Kendel yesterday filed suit in the
superior court against the Glendora
Mutual Water company and l. B.
Netzley.
She declares the corporation formerly
was known as|the Glendora- -Azusa Wa
ter company, and that she held certifi-
cate No. 1863 for a share and a half
in it. The certificate she lost in Feb
ruary, 1909. she alleges, and has been
unable to find it. She AYERS the cor
poration has refused to duplicate it.
She asserts that January 15 1907,
certificate No. 523. for four shares of
stock, was issued to 1. B. Netzley, and
declares he assigned his rights to her.
A week later, she AYERS the certificate
was destroyed, and the corporation
treated her in this case as it did in the
other.
She wants both certificates cancelled
upon the books of the corporation, and
new certificates issued in her favor.

FULLERTON WOMAN SUES
FOR BREACH OF PROMISE

Alleging breach of promise of mar
riage, Alice a. Cook of Fullerton yes
terday filed a suit for $4,000 damages
against Aaron Fithian of the same
place.
In her complaint the plaintiff de-
clares that she and Fithian became en-
gagged October 21, 1909, and that No
vember l of the same year she de-
manded that he marry her. She de-
clares he refused to do so at that time,
and that similar and frequent demands
upon her part for the fulfillment of his
alleged, promise have met with the
same result.
In addition to the damages she wants
the costs of the suit paid by Fithian.

His position is one of the most tech
