The total number of tons of wine grapes
handled by the wineries in this vicinity
during the last season reaches the sur
prising total Of 10000 TONS II this 70, 600
tons of grapes had been converted into
sweet wine. the total number of gallons
would approximate 100000. 1t would
be safe to say that at least 10 per cent Of
this tonnage was converted into dry
wines, which would bring the number OF
gallons up to higher figure.
As between table and wine grapes the
wine grape industry at the present time
looks to be in the better shape. At SO a
ton for the common variety of grapes q
rancher can show some profit AS table
grapes have been selling for the last year
for so there Is little or no profit in them.

Cream Baths For
The Complexion
Beauty's Best Aid.

BY MASSAGING THE SKIN WITH THIS
CREAM THE COMPLEXION TAKES
ON THE HEALTH TINT
OF YOUTH.
Delightful results follow cream
baths for the complexion. and oily
or shiny skins become clear and
satiny. once this treatment is used.
The most satisfactory cream for
the purpose is made by dissolv-
ing two ounces of cerol In a scant
pint of boiling water and stirring
until thoroughly dissolved and very
smooth.
A gentle massage and patting
with the finger ends, using plenty
OF this cream. rids the pores of Sc
cieticn and energizes the delicate
muscles, resulting in a wrinkleless
skin and youth-tint to the COM
plexion. This is especially nice to
use during winter months.
