amounting with the clover cream.
 Two of the most widely used bleach ing preparations of the olden time were the following: Six sprigs of the young leaves of wild tansy laid to soak in a pint of buttermilk for nine days added greatly to the bleaching properties of the buttermilk, which was used to re- move tan; the second recipe required freshly dug and grated horseradish roots to be mixed with buttermilk in the proportion of a tablespoonful to a cup of the milk, and was allowed to stand for twenty-four hours. This remedy was said to bleach off the most obstin- ate tan that could be accumulated.
 Sometimes we go very far afeld in our search for the right remedy for our com- plexion ills, only to find that we have almost everything we need right at home. There are many things to be found in ones kitchen pantry, or on the shelf ;n the cellar, or growing by the roadside, and all that is necessary Is a knowledge of the proper combinations of the sim pie ingredients we have at hand, to make delightful toilet preparations. The few recipes given above are from one of those old books that laid for many years on the shelf under the kitchen clock, and they have been used and found good for almost century,

TOO DIRTY TO BE COMMON WAS:
 EVANGELIST
Ten Days and a Good Bath is Judge Wilder's Pre- scription for Professed Evangelist.

Call me not common" said Rev. Wesley Monroe. quoting from the bi- ble, to substantiate his mandate ut- tered through the bars of police head quarters this morning.
 ''CommonI I should say not!" ex- claimed a couple of policemen who were passing the cell room and made a casual examination of his unkempt hair, ragged beard and soiled linen.
 Monroe claims to be an evangelist. He carried a neatly bound copy of the Holy Writ, but apparently needed 1t only upon rare occasions for he quoted. almost necessarily from the Bible in conversation and upon the slightest encouragement launched in to eloquent preaching.
 The dominic was apprehended by Railroad Policeman O'Brien riding on the bumper of a freight car. He ad- mitted that he once lived at 122 Wal nut street, but said now the only home he has is that celestial home for which we should all strive.
 Judge Wilder gave the preacher 10 days in the city court for attaching himself to freight car without per- mission. When he reached the jail, the preacher was led gently but firmly to a hydrant and his flesh was made clean in a literal sense. Monroe says he's 26 and has no steady employ ment.

PonugaI's Deposed
 King May Have To Leave England
fsoecial from United Press.) !

London, June 17-Manuel, the de- posed King of Portugal, will have to renounce any intention of attempting to regain his throne or seek some oth- CT country than England for a refuge. youthful exile's stay in England has been greatly increased by the action of Alexandria, the Queen Mother, who is declared today. to be in sympathy with the restoration movement.
 Alexandria, it is learned, has be- come obsessed with the idea that Manuel is suffering an undeserved martyrdom and she is said to be ready to devote the fortune left to her by the late King Edward to financing the campaign of his followers.
 King George is doing everything in his power to kill the project and, un- less Manuel takes the broad hints that have been given him, the cabinet will openly tell him to efface himself completely from the politics of Por- tugal or quit England.
 There Is no question of apprehension of the cabinet over the growing inti- macy between Manuel and Alexandria. News from Lisbon that the Monar- chists have raised a fund of s40,000, 900 to be used in reinstating Manuel on the throne, or if this is considered impossible, to make Nom Miguel, the pretender, the King, came as a dis tinct shock to English officia1don. It is hinted that Alexandria Is one of the heaviest contributors to this fund, al- though this is semi i-officially denied.

Do you remember the book of re- cipes that your grandmother or great grandmother used to keep on the kitchen shelf? Among the many written in the book, in the small even handwriting so common in those days, were recipes for creams and lotions and liniments that we never hear anything about today.
 Some of the best creams ever com pounded were those our grandmothers made out of simple, holnely things that really did wonders in the way of beau tifying. Of course our grandmothers did not know everything, and we mod erns have some improvements on the old-time remedies, but others have never been improved upon.
 One of the simplest of their toilet preparations was the Glover cream" of early colonA days. This recipe called for one ounce of pure mutton tallow, which was to be put in bowl set in a pan of boiling water A sprig of sweet clover. lightly bruised and simmered in the tallow for fifteen or twenty minutes, gave the mixture the special quality which made the charm. After removing 1t from the fire, a teaspoonfu1 of rose water was added and one drop of At tar of Roses. The whole was stirred gently with silver fork, until perfect iy cold, when it was poured into empty eggshells, to complete the dainty toilet requisite.
 Another recipe which has come down from early times, calls for two ounces of mutton tallow and half ounce of strained honey, melted with half ounce of white wax and with a rose geranium leaf simmered with the other ingredi- ents. A generous pinch of baking soda and half ounce of rosewater were add ed after removing from the fire, and all stirred steadily until cool.
 An excellent bleach, which was in common use century ago, was made from an old French formula A quart of unskimmed milk was, allowed to stand in warm place until 1t thicken- ed and was then set over the fire and brought to the boiling point. After be- ing carefully strained a large green cu- cumber was sliced into the liquid and the whole was again boiled until a soft, pulpy mass resulted This was again strained and left for an hour to cool, when it was poured carefully into a bottle and the settings thrown away. "A tablespoonful of alcohol was added and twenty drops of the tincture of benzoin, with any perfume desired. The lotion was applied at night, after wash Ing the face and allowed to dry into the skin, when it was followed by careful

Raising Of Maine
 Likely To Prove
 Costly Experiment
Especial from United Press)


 Havana, June 17-In the opinion of the engineers engaged in raising the wreck of the battleship Maine, there will not be enough salvage in the ves- sel to pay for its removal The rusty condition of the steel hull, which is discovered was little better than a shell of rust, has convinced the en- gineers that the guns and, other fur nishings which they thought might be available are ruined.
 The hull is so eaten with rust that it is now doubtful whether it will be possible to float it away in the man. ner first proposed.
 Pumps are now being put in readi- ness with which to throw powerful streams of water on the wreck to re- move the tons of sticky mud that cover the vessel to depth of five feet in places.
 No critical examination of the vessel will be made before next week.
