Get one pound of fresh pork and
wash it WELL then cut it into small
pieces, then put it in a clean vessel and
set it on the back of the stove, and
when it is all rendered take it out and
strain it through fine sieve; then put
it back on the stove again and put in
a half pound of white wax and, when
all is melted, get your egg beaten and
beat till it becomes a white cream;
then drop ten drops of pure extract of
violet or any flavor you wish, and you
will have the finest cream.
Hollows of the neck may be filled out
by using massage and drinking milk.
4 glass of warm milk taken on going
to bed is one of the best flesh builders.
Instead of using a cream for massage,
take the best quality of olive or cod
liver oil. Moisten the skin over the
hoIlows and massage gently with the
finger tips, using a circular motion.
Do this every night and every morning,
rubbing for ten minutes. If you will
swing Indian clubs for five minutes in
the morning, too, you will find the ex-
ercise excellent to develop the neck.
The clubs should not weigh more than
two pounds.

STAR ATTRACTION
Tells House Investigating

Every Assistance.
(National News AssoCiation)

Washington. July 12.-Secretary of
Interior Fisher was the star attraction
before the house committee Investigate
ing the Controller Bay scandal today.
Fisher told the committee that the now
famous Dick to Dick letter was not
in the files of the Interior department
but if such letter had disappeared
from the files, steps would be taken
to recover it. Fisher secured permis-
sion to make the following statement:
Il have a deep interest in this ques-
tion in view of two points involved.
First, whether anything has been done
that the committee has learned of
which will jeopardize public interests
in Alaska; that is, if anything has
been done in my department which
could be rectified now. 1 want to
learn of these things because it might
be eXpedient for my department to
take some immediate action.
The second point in which we are
interested, concerns a letter. the ex-
istence Of which in my department has
been suggested by stories said to have
been circulated by a Miss Abbott.
We have searched the records in
the department and have been unable
to locate such a letter. We are par
ticulagly anxious to get all the infOr-
nation possible about this letter be
cause if any such document has dis
appeared we will take steps to recover
it,
Fisher asked that Miss Abbott be
placed on the stand as early as possi-
BILE. He told the committee his de-
partment copied all documents relat-
ing to the Controller Bay affair to car
ry out the provisions of Sen. Poindex-
ter's resolution which calls for these
papers to be presented to the senate.

Fisher, to help this committee in ev-

lands. describing three entries made
by Richard S. Ryan which it has been

MAY BUILD A MECCA
Where Shriners May Gather
Every Year.
tNationai News Association)

Rochester. n. Y. July 12-The pur-
chase of 5000 acres of land and the
establishment there of a Mecca
where the Mobiles of the Mystic
Shrine may gather for their annual
convention is the rather unusual pro-
position that will be considered today
by the imperial council of the body in
session here. The idea emanated from
imperial potentate Frederick A. Hines
of Los Angeles.
Last night the Shriners held their
annual parade. Rochester had never
seen such a pageant The line was ov-
er six miles in length and fully 25. 900
Mobiles marched. Seventy-five uniform
ed patrols were in line and as many
bands.
Today the visitors were entertained
with exhibition drills and a band con-
cert at Seneca Park when 1000 musi-
clans will be massed and give a pro-
gram.
Tonight the attraction will be the
water carnival at Genesee Valley Park
