THE FACE
BATH
BY LUCILLE DAUDET.

TN HIS bath, which in a city should
be taken twice a week, is given
with green soap. What is
green soap? Well, it is the purest
soap made, and it comes in the form
Of a green paste or a yellow liquid,
and it is used by surgeons the world
over for washing wounds and pre-
pairing patients for operations. The
reason why the face needs it occa-
sionally is because the pores of the
skin take in the dust and hold it, if
some strenuous effort is not made to
get it out, and dust is the medium
for carrying disease germs of every
sort. If there is any eruption on the
skin, the green soap routs the germs
1t may already harbor and heals and
soOthes, though where the skin is
broken it is bound to bite at first If
used once a week, as a matter of
course, it will also Danish black
heads, remove dead skin, cure scali-
ness and improve the coloring and
texture of the face skin. In fact, it
is good in any trouble, whether it is
of eruptive sort or in the nature of a
hard, dry leathery condition. SO the
first move the beauty doctors make
when patient with a bad complex
ion appears on the scene is to give a
good face wash with this germ de-
stroying and highly cleansing soap.

TO WHOM WILL
THEY REPORT?
Election Boards in Quandary
Law Don't State.

Members of the boards of election
in this city are about equally divided
as to who they should report their
registry lists compiled from personal
registration, and poll books of last
year, on Tuesday of this week. Some
of the election officers say City Clerk
Wilbur LaRoe is the proper person
to receive the reports, while others
contend County Clerk B. M. Cannon
should receive the reports at New
Brunswick.
An appeal was made to the new
Geran law but no relief was found
The law makes no reference to the
boards duty following the primary
registry day, although 1t does state

this way have the list revised and
corrected. No mention is made in
the new law whether or not the
registry lists should be posted in
conspicuous place at the various poll
ing places, but, nevertheless, the
board in this city will take this ac-
ton and publish the lists in this
manner within a few days, working
under the old law.
Several of the boards have made
reports to City Clerk LaRoe, who is
at sea as to what he will do with
them. All the boards in this city
have Strengthened out any mistakes
made on Tuesday and have compiled
complete lists believed by the officers
to be correct In every detail. The
three boards IN the fourth ward,
where trouble arose over the district

Frank Houser Does Not

the Board of Excise Commissioners.

it was SO moved.
1t is said today that the Peter
Breidt Brewing Company, Of Eliz-
abeth. held a power of attorney
signed by Frank Houser for moneys
loaned to the proprietor when the
saloon was first licensed. This doc
ument was signed and placed on

began business. The Brewing com
pany refused to accept the terms of
Mr.. Reichmann's lawyer, who Of
fered to take up the power of at
torney with a certified check for the
amount loaned to the proprietor.
The brewery desires to have the

mann for a transfer were discon-
tinued.
Mr.. Refchmann, 1t is said, expect
ed to have connected with him In
the venture the bartender of the
present establishment, Frank Breidt-
teller. The latter was to have
charge, 1t is understood, and
the hotel was to run in Reichmann's
name, as his intended partner has
not yet been naturalized. Mr..
Houser has announced that he will
continue the place for the present.

ton, Perth Amboy must meet an ap-
portionment of s81, 500 of the coun-

over the figures for 1910. With the
apportionment for 1911 is s46,915,
which is an increase of s4,114.89
