BANsHlNc THE YELLOW SKIN
Many Harmless BIeaches May Be
Recommended to Produce the
Perfect Complexion.

Very yellow necks and faces can be
whitened only by the use of decid-
ed bleach that will gradually fiuff
away the old skin and just as grad
ually disclose fresh, new, white one.
Such preparations cannot be made
very well at home. 1t is dangerous
procedure when attempted by expe-
rienced hands, and is best done by a
professional. The frequent applica-
tions of lemon juice at night after a
bath In bran-water will do wonders
with moderately yellow skins.
sometimes poor soap causes the
hands to be red. 1t really seems as If
the hands tire of one kind Of soap,
and rebel against it's use. Immedi-
ately after bathing the hands spread
thickly with cosmetic jelly or lotion.
When retiring for the night, after
using the lotion, sprinkle thickly with
taloum. Don't wear tight collars or
tight corsets-they will always make
the hands red, and the tight collars
will almost ruin the skin of the neck.
When bathing use only tepid water,
never hot nor cold, which invariab'-
stimulates the blood vessels.

DICK KNOTT
Defines The Attitude Of The
Evening Post.

The Evening Post believes fully
in Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Roosevelt; in
Mr.. Bry an and MIR. Bristow; it sees
the patriotic Americans moving in
two grand divisions to one common
triumph in November.
We march during this campaign
gladly and confidently with the Dem
ocrats. The party has not rid itself
of bad councillors and evil influences,
but it has resisted them, and it re
cordoba noble triumph over them at
Baltimore. The work of regenera
ton there begun will have to De con-
tinued under grave difficulties at
Washington after March A. but it
will continue under men who ma e
possible the nomination of Wilson.
By right of service, by right of
success, the Dem ocrats have the ad-
vantage of position. The Democrat
ic ticket offers. as we see it. the best
chance for the overthrow of a con-
spiracy against free institutions,
against free and fair elections, at
the head of which conspiracy the
President Of the United States hes
been placed.
Whether the flag is borne by Will
son or by Roosevelt. it is the flag of
a free people in the hands Of safe
leader.
In Democratic States follow Will
son; in Republican States follow
Roosevelt; in doubtful States follow
the one who is the farthest in front.

Imperiled Senator Asserts In
nOcence in Long Speech.

Washington. July 11.-For the
second time in Is months William
Lorimer took the floor in the senate
today to defend his title to seat in
that body as the junior senator from
Illinois. For three hours he in.
Weighed against his newspaper and
political enemies; dissected infuen-
ces that had been exerted against
him and dealt with the attitude Of
President Taft and Colonel Roosevelt
toward him and his associates in ILL
nois politics.
The senate did rot force him to q
conclusion of his speech. His en-
phatic delivery Of the denunciation
Of his opponents weakened him
physically and at $3.50 o'clock in the
afternoon the senate recessed until
10 o'clock tomorrow morning when
Mr.. Lorimer will resume. 1t is ex
pected he will conclude his defen-
sive speech in a few hours tomorrow
and before the end of the session the
senate will take its final vote upon

Applying Invisible Patch.

To apply an invisible patch to
wooden material. place the patch I'M
der the hole. then, with strands of
wool thread raveled out from the new
material or the piece you are patch
ing with, darn the edges OF the hole
down TO the patch, taking care TO fol-
low the weave of the material as you
work. Dampen and press under a
cloth on the wrong side.
Lace may be successfully patched
by sewing a piece of net having the
same mesh as the lace underneath the
place you want to patch. and with a
fine needle and thread that cor.
responds to the thread in the pattern
of the lace work over the net the
same design found in the lace! This
Tlan is very successful In mending
lace yokes and collars that have worn
IN small holes about the joining point

with both arms dislocated and his body
badly lacerated. the result of an heroic

somewhat ahead Of it, then plunged
into the creek and reached Mcdowell.
He started to return to shore with
the aged mountaineer and was thrown
a rope by his soD John, who had fas-
tened it about his waist. The two
men held on, but their combined
weights dragged John along the shore
until he grasped the trunk OF a tree
and held on, calling for help.

TREASURE-SEEKERS HELD UP
AS SUSPECTS BY CUBANS.

BOSTON, March 22.-The schooner
Ned P. Walker, which sailed from Bos-
ton February 20 for the announced
purpose of hunting for and
recovering scrap iron from the Spanish
warships destroyed off Santiago de
Cuba, has been held up by the authori-
ties at that port.
An alleged discrepancy in the num-
Der of persons aboard and the number
shown in the papers, there being two
less than the ships papers enumerate,
and the presence of 100 cases Of dyna-
mite are responsible, according to the
dispatches, for the detention of the
vessel as to her possible connection
with Haytian revolutionists.
