cream is very cleansing and refreshing.
Four ounces of sweet almond oil,
one ounce OF spermacetI, one ounce of
white wax, and two ounces of cucum-
ber juice. Select cucumbers ripe
enough for the table, cut and chop fine,
and pound them to a paste, and then
squeeze through a jelly bag. Perfume
with twenty drops Of oil OF lily of the
valley or any favorite odor. Heat the
oil, spermaceti, and wax in a water
bath and beat in the cucumber Juice.
This cream may be used to take OF
make up or to cleanse the face of
dust after a day out OF doors. Never
put water on your skin Immediately
before going out or just after coming

KEEP IN MIND CLOSING
DATE OF BABY CONTEST
For Wouldn't 1t Be Tragic Disappointment to the
Beautiful Little Maid or Handsome Lad Whose
Picture Reached the Contest Editor
Too Late for Contest?

| of babies that are being entered in the
| Borden Baby Contest daily. l would
just like to gather them up and give
! them to you all at once, but this is
impossible. Just be patient, for all the
photographs submitted are sure to be
published sooner or later, and this has
no bearing on their winning a prize
anyway, you know.
VIII Overlook None.
/ The judges selected to review the pic
lures and award the prizes will not
overlook a single baby when the contest
closes, November 16, and the children
will be judged from the photographs
submitted and not from the reproduc-
tions of them in the newspapers.
The main issue with the mothers of
WASHINGTON and its vicinity is to be
sure that the photographs get in in due
season, for The Herald would not have
one child, three years old and under,
who lives in the vicinity of our city
miss the big chance given them through
this contest to win something eminently
worth while.
For the prizes are something to take
little trouble for. YOU see, and every
mother owes it to her children to make
very sure that their pictures will be On
hand when the contest ends.
In spite of the fact that full instruc-
tions have been given repeatedly for
obtaining a free photograph of baby,
many have come daily to The Herald
office bringing their little ones to have
the pictures made, which, of course,
causes them a lot of extra work and
trouble.
The Washington Herald has arranged
with the Bachrach Studio, 1881 F street
northwest, to make the pictures of the
contest for every mother who desires
to have a more satisfactory photograph
of her little tot than the one already
at home.
Where to Take Babies.
Just take the children direct to the
Bachrach Studio to have the picture
made.
I am always glad to see the babies,
but many mothers have brought them
TO me through a Misrepresentation, thus
adding TO their fatigue and trouble in
the matter and it is to save them this
that I again give the address of the pho
tographer.
Many. many babies have come to see
me with their mothers when their pic
lures were entered in the contest. which

And bless their dear hearts! am
fully persuaded that no photographer
can do justice to the living, vivacious
beauty of the children of Washington.

Hand Tucking Help.

A simple way OF making hand tucks In
baby clothes and other fine work is to
use the tucker on a machine which Is
not threaded. Attach the tucker set as
for regular tucking. The needle leaves
perforations, which can be followed in
running in the tucks by hand, md the
space IS made by the marker. Hand
tucks made In this way are just as true
and as evenly spaced as the machine
tucks. This requires very little more
work than II done entirely by machine.

FreckIes, Tan, or sunBurn.

H. H. Rim the case of freckles, tan.
and sunburn, the adage holds true that
IAN ounce of prevention is worth a pound
of cure" The face should be protected
as much as possible, TO prevent these
troubles. If your face freckles, tans, or
burns easily, II should be protected first
by using some cold cream and then dust
ing with a pure pOwder-never wash. A
liberal amount of cold cream should be
dabbed on and carefully wiped OF with
sterilized gauze.
Both butteTmilk and lemon juice are
excellent for taking off frecklcs and tan.
Squeeze the juice from a lemon into half
a glass of buttermilk and apply with a
soft cloth several times daily. Always
use cold cream afterward.
Fresh buttermilk, used as IL it were
water, takes off tan better than almost
anything that is known. 1t should be ap-
piled freely and allowed TO dry in.
Cucumber juice also is good for this
purpose. Slice the cucumberS, peel and
all, and simmer until they can be pressed
through a sieve; then add a little alcohol
and use frequently.
Subnite of bisrnuth is a splendid rem
edy for sunburn. Cover the face with a
coating of cucumber cream, and then
plaster on the powdered Dismuth; allow
1t to remain twenty minutes and re-
move with more cream. This will allay
the burning sensation and
bleach out the red color.

Agnes-I consider witch hazel one Of

Cloths wet in hot witch hazel and

OREGON SUPREME
COURT DECISIONS
Continued from Page 81

We hold that the title which the
state had, has not been extinguished
by the running of the statute.
1t is contended by counsel for de-
fendant that the occupancy of plain
tiff under his contract for the pur-
chase of the land, iuured to the bene-
fit of defendants grantor, for the
purpose of perfecting the title of the
latter by adverse possession.
To this, counsel for plaintiff an
swers, that defendant expressly
pleads his title by deed from the
state and no other title; that the
specific allegation that he derived his
title by deed from the state of Ore
gon precludes him from proving title
by adverse possession This conten-
tion would seem tenable as far as
proving the link Of title from the
state to defendant Van Blokland. Ex-
cept for this muniment of title which
is set out in the answer, defendant
must rely upon his general denial
and the allegation that he is the own
er and in possession of the real prop
erty in question. This, we think,
raises a question az to whether or
not the defendant IAN avail himself
of the statute of limitations for the
purpose of showing title to his gran
tor, the state of Oregon.
Even though the statute does not
run against the state, adverse pos

Margaret Mayo's wholesome and

that the young girl of the circus gets
her first insight into things that are
higher and better, when, as she first
regains consciousness and realizes her
helplessness the minister reads to
her, at her request, those memorable
lines from the Book of Ruth: EN-

AS between the plaintiff and the
state or its grantee, the occupancy of
the plaintiff under his contract for
the purchase of the land, was that OF
tenant, and did not innre to the ben
eft of the plaintiff, but to the benefit
Of the state, for thu purpose of per-
fecting title by adverse possession;

life v, Parker, (Wssh) 3S Pac. 744.
1t is clearly shown in the testimony
that the state of Oregon through
plaintiff Stephenson, its vendee, un-
der the contract for the purchase of
the land, was in the open, notorious,
exclusive and adverse possession of
the land, under color of title from
August 21, 1882, until December,
1898, more than the statutory period
of 10 years, and whatever right ac-
crued by such possession of plaintiff
Injured to the benefit of the state
from which defendsnt Van Blokland
deraigns title.
From the record and evidence on
the part of plaintiff, as well as that
of defendant, we think that plaintiff
has failed to sustain the allegation Of
his complaint as to adverse possess
sion Of the land for the statutory
period, and as between the parties of
this suit, that defendant is the owner
in fee, and entitled to the possession
of the whole of the land
1t follows that the decree of the
lower court should be modified ac-
cordingly, and one etered here de-
claring defendant to be the owner in
fee, and entitled to the possession of
the land.

thy God my Cod" The curtain falls.
and the real story is begun. Pathos
is mingled, through the play, with
no less excellent huTnor than Polly's
slang, when she first converses with
the minister about his people. She
calls him a "sly pilot" and, talk
ing OF her business as compared with
his ministerial duties, says: Zone
year you give 'em the rottenest kind
of show, and they eat 1t up: the
next you give 'em a knockout, and
It's frost" These are but random
samples. The circus scenes of the
third act are revelations of stage
craft. 1t is all there, the rings. the
horses. the clowns and everything
and everybody else. The setting of
the last scene OF the third act is
as wonderful as it is beautiful. The

their way up the pathway, while Pol
ly remains once more and forever be-

heart. Taken all in all Polly Of the
