For the Complexion.
Dear Miss Don:

Dear Miss Don:
Would you kindly advise ME what to
do to have a clear complexion? Ny face
has a very yellowish color; also. how
can I get rid of hair growing between
the eyebrows and around the mouth.
Thanking you I am, respectfully yours,
MABEL FLINT.
Some compilations are naturally
dark, but even then they should be
clear. You probably do not take In
enough oxygen to nourish the red cor
puscles. Stay out in the air as much
as possible and learn to breathe deep
ly. 1t Is good to keep it on your mind
as you walk. Try inhaling for five
steps and exhaling for the next five
steps. OF course keep the mouth tight
ly closed during the process. After a
while 1t will become a habit for you to
breathe correctly and you won't realize
that you are doing 1t. You will find
that 1t will bring the color to your
cheeks and exhilarate you. Be sure
that your sleeping apartment has
plenty Of air. If our heart Is strong

morning, followed by a brisk rub with

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Copper and brass may be frightened
by salt and vinegar solution. or by
oXalic acid.
Ordinary ironware is better for a
securing of finely sifted coal ashes
mixed with a cleansing powder or
shaved sand soap. Galvanized iron
ware should be wiped off with kero-
sene and then washed with hot water
and soap.
The new aluminite ware requires
nothing more than washing in moder-
ately hot water into which a little
ammonia or borax has been put.
Old newspapers are useful in re-
moving the black from the outside of
pots and pans. The paper n the
smut may be burned together. As
much of the black as is possible should
be removed before the pot is immersed
IN water.
Old flannel OF discarded underwear
can be converted into the best sort
Of cloths for washing paint. for clean
ing silver and for polishing brasses.
Agate ware is benefited by an occa-
sional rubbing with kerosene followed
by a washing in hot water %softened
with diluted ammonia.

Not Tall Enough for the Navy.
Miss Doom:

MleS DOOM:
I am II years old n would like to
join the navy. Being too mail and not
the required height I wish to ask your
advice as to how to grow larger. Thank
Ing you for your pains l remain,
B. G..
Cheer up. You still have time t
grow. and while nature is performing
her duty you may change you mind
and turn to some other profession. I
would advise you to join a gymnasium
class and interest yourself in outdoor
sports. In this way you will aid not
only development but also general
health. Above all things avoid the use
Of tobacco and alcoholic drinks. If.
when you AVE reached your full
growth you are still not of the re-
Quired heights l am afraid you will
have to be content to enter some line
Of work on which the qualifications are
brains and general ability instead of
feet and inches.

c%aulihower head downward it cooks
more quickly and improves in flavor?
Potatoes boiled in their skins make
nicer salad than those pared raw Cold
baked potatoes likewise make better
fried potatoes than when cooked raw
or boiled.
Ground glass globes, whether plain
or figured, will be brighter and whittier
if, after being washed in soar and
water, they are rinsed and then al
lowed to drain. instead Of being wiped.
When about to boil milk in an enam-
eled saucepan rinse it first with cold
water. his prevents the milk from
sticking and the saucepan escapes the
inevitable scraping so disastrous to the
enamel.

National Tube Company and raising
prices was rocounted today to the Stan
lay Steel Investigating Committee Of
the House by Julian Kennedy, Pitts
burgh millionaire structural engineer,
known as the Edison of Steel"
Kennedy said he was j. Pierpont Nor
gan's agent In appraising the steel tube
plants OF the country. He said Morgan's
reorganization obtained control of prac-
tically all tube plants and that prices
on tubes were soon raised.
TOO high tariff resulted In demorali-
zation of the steel tube industry" Ken
nedy told the committee. THE tariff
on tubes was Chinese wall in pro-
lection of the industry. but the compe-
tition resulted in nobody making any
money"
Kennedy said he was hired b. Morgan
in 1899 to appraise the steel tube plants
to effect a reorganization.
II would rather not give the figures
of my appraisement, Kennedy plead
ed. Chairman Stanley did not insist
on the figures.
'Mr. Morgan could give you the
figures" suggested Mr.. Kennedy.
But Mr. Morgan stays in Egypt or
some other inaccessible place." Mi.
Stanley complained.
WAS the value in excess of sl9, 0OO,-
900?
II should think not" Kennedy re-
piled.
The steel Edison" said soon after
the tube ,Iant reorganization was COM
pleted by Morgan, prices on the pro.
duct were raised appreciably.
Mr.. Morgan had nearly all the tube
business in the reorganized company,
said Mr.. Kennedy. IAN but few
plants; l should say about 80 per cent
of the total business was controlled.
Kennedy said twelve large plants
were the nucleus OF the National Tube
Company. and that number Of smaller
plants also were acquired.

This announcement may have had
something to do with the display of
weakness midway in the second hour,
and It may not, the similarity between
the action yesterday and again today
