How to Massage.

The first point to bear in mind Is the
proper movements. These are light
friction, delicate kneading, tapping
and finally the rotary movement.
To massage the neck the fingers
should be placed at the back Of the
neck and the thumbs In front; then
the thumbs should work gently up and
down the veins In front
For facial massage the first move
ment consists of light upward strokes
to stimulate the circulation. The work
should start at chin and proceed to the
temples The gentle friction should
be produced all over the face, and the
touch should be firm. Care should be
taken not to crease the skin at the
corner Of the eyes, as this is apt to
cause tiny wrinkles; also be careful
not to pull the flesh.
Knead gently to relieve the sagging
Of the muscle, which runs from the
mouth to the eyes, and 1t will be found
vibrating movement Of the arm will
help to stimulate circulation when the
fingers are pressed into the skin. Fin
ish with rotary motion around the
eyes and temples, using the middle
fingers with a gentle vibrating motion.
In twenty minutes or half en- hour
cold congresses and an astringent 10
t1on should be applied to tighten dabt
ness and erase the wrinkles.

The eagerly-awaited regulations of
the United States department of agri-
culture, bureau of biological survey,
fixing the seasons in which the shoot
ing of migratory birds is allowed,
authorized under the recently enacted
Weeks-McLean migratory birds law,
have just been made public by the
department. They are effective as of
October 1, 1913
In view of the widespread interest
in this matter, not only on the part
of sportsmen but of lovers of wild
life generally, the American Game
Protective and Propagation Associa-
ton, which was active in the move
ment for the enactment of the Weeks
Mclean law, has summarized the
most important points involved in
these regulations as follows:
Generally speaking, the country is
divided into two zones, northern and
southern, the dividing line running
wholly, or in part, north of latitude
forty degrees and the Ohio river.
The twenty-five states included in
the northern zone comprise Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont, Massa-
chusetts, Rhode Island Connecticut,
New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michi-
gan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Ne
braska, Colorado Wyoming, Mon
tana, Idaho, Oregon and Washington.
The twenty-three states included in
the southern zone are Delaware,
Maryland, District of Columbia, Vir-
ginia, North and South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Missis-
sippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri,
Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas,
New Mexico, Arizona, California, Ne
vada and Utah.
The shooting season fixed for these
two zones varies according to the
four classifeations of migratory birds
that have been made, as will be seen
later. The zones thus established
take the place of so similar districts
now existing under the statutes of
the several states.
By way of summarization the fol-
lowing statements may be made:
l. Exceptions have been made in
both zones for numerous reasons, but
in most cases the closed seasons take
the average of the existing laws of

the states in the particular zones in
which they are located
2. There has been more cutting
down on the closing than the open
ing dates for the shooting seasons as
they now exist.
3. In most cases three months of
open shooting are allowed for water
fowl and in some cases as much as
three and one-half months.
A. Spring shooting is absolutely
prohibited.
5. Shooting of migratory birds be-
tween sunset and sunrise is likewise
prohibited.
6. In no case will there be less
than 30 days when birds may be shot
during the period of their greatest
abundance.
Birds that may be shot are divided
by the new regulations into four
classes. These, and the open seasons
allowed on them follow:
Water fowl, northern zone, Sept
to Dec Is. Southern zone, Oct. 1
TO Jan. Is.
Rail, northern zone, Sept to Dec
l. Southern zone, Sept. 1 to Dec. 1.
Woodcock, northern zone, Oct.
to Dec. l. Southern zone, Nov. 1 to
Jan. 1.
Shore birds, Sept. 1 to Dec. 15
Southern zone, Sept. to Dec IS.
No shooting whatever is allowed of
cranes, or the umbidae-doves
pigeons, etc.
A closed season until September 1,
1918, is established for ban-tailed pig
cons, little brown, sandhill and
whooping cranes; swans, curlew, all
shore birds except black breasted and
golden plover, Wilson or jack snipe,
wood duck, greater and lesser yellow
legs.
Wood duck, in addition, are given
a closed season to September l, 1918
in the following states Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts,
Rhode Island, Connecticut, New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, West Vir-
ginia and Wisconsin.
Insectivorous birds, including rob-
ins, larks, etc, are protected at all
times in all states, and similar protec-
tion is given the smaller shore birds
and other species which have been
greatly reduced in number

The New Federal Game Legislation

A novel and important feature is
the prohibition of hunting on the
great rivers of the country, except
during November and December.
Prohibited territory as designated by
the regulations in this instance is as
follows
l. Mississippi river from New Or
leans to Minneapolis.
2. Ohio river from its mouth to
Pittsburg
g. Missouri river between its mouth
and Bismarck, North Dakota.
Under the provision of the Weeks
Mclean law three months are given
from the time these regulations are
made public until they are presented
to the President for approval and are
finally adopted 1t is also provided
that public hearings may be had if
deemed proper and it is assumed that
these very probably will be held.
The regulations outlined above con-
stitute beyond a doubt the most
sweeping action ever taken in the
country's history towards the protec-
ton of its wild life. They, of course,
take absolute precedence of all exist
ing statutes in the several states with
which they come in conflict. That
they will be of the greatest interest
TO the 25,000,000 or more Of the
country's population who are directly
or indirectly concerned with the sub
ject to which they pertain, is certain.
1t is felt that on the whole the under
lying principles are sound and well
adapted to an urgent need. Wise
discrimination for the most part
seems to have been made in dealing
with species that are relatively abund-
ant and those that are not holding
their own under existing regulations
and there is evident intent of giving a
square deal to all sections of the
country
A special committee Of three from
the bureau of biological survey draft
ed the regulations outlined above. It's
members are T. S. Palmer, A. K.
Fisher and w. w. Cooke, The de-
partment of agriculture has issued
two pamphlets on the subject, one
containing the regulations themselves
and the second an explanation of
them. These are numbered % and
93. respectively.

Where the Feet Perspire ProfuseIy.

Where the Feet Perspire Profusely.
This is very great cause of corns
and general pains in the feet, and the
cure is so simple that 1t is neglected.
Frequent bathing in cold water, with
gentle massage, will do more toward
helping this trouble than almost any
thing, yet few but fill their perspiring
feet with some sort Of powder, which
clogs the pores and in the end makes
matters worse. A good formula Is to
mix one ounce powdered alum with
two Of salt and one of borax. Put half
a tablespoonful of this In foot tub Of
tepid water at night and bathe the
feet WELL Keep a little jar Of mutton
tallow that has been melted and
teaspoonful OF witch hazel added to an
ounce. When the feet have been thor
oughly soaked in the bath wipe and
rub In this pomade; then bind them
with antiseptlc gauze, because the
grease will spoil the bedclothing. Do
this night and morning and there will
be great relief, the gauze preventing
the hose getting greasy during the
day.
Another way is to bathe with salicyl-
ic soap every night. Dry we'll and wipe
with a lotion made of an ounce Of
glycerin with three Of perchloride Of
iron and add ten drops essence berga-
mot. Be sure that every part Is
touched, between the toes especially.
Then powder with a mixture Of TWEEN
ty-five grams Of violet talcum, ~
grams powdered starch, 21a burnt alum
and a gram of powdered salicylic acid.
Change the hose every day, wearing
the thin cotton that can be rubbed out
after being worn once Have two or
three pairs of shoes and change every
day. 1t is the old, partly dried perspi-
ration remaining in hose and shoes that
hurts the feet, causes them to swell and
perspire worse.

Milady'e
Mirror
Discussing Facial Defects.

Many girl whose beauty Is marred
by a slight facial defect gives herself
up to despair or to the firm conviction
that nothing will help or relieve her
affiictlon She generally proceeds TO
render herself less attractive by worry
ing or frettlng and marring her ex-
preston
If the cheek bones are too high, do
not strain the hair back from the face
and accentuate this defect. Wear
broad coiffure with the hair fluffed out
near the ears. The hat should always
give the effect of q background and
frame combined, and the softly waved
hair will detract attention from the
high cheek bones. Cheek bones that
are set high In the face give an un-
pleasant impression. They make wo-
man look less gentle and less feminine
and youthful.
There is no reason why the eyes
should not be the feature to attract at
tention, and even If they are not large
or deep the eyebrows and eyelashes
can be made to enhance their charm.
One cannot change the color or the
conformation, but the surrounding ds-
sue, which makes much more difference
to the looks than is generally believed,
can be modified by the individual,
greatly to the benefit Of the eyes them
selves and to their appearance. Many
occupations carry with them the handi-
cap of eye strain. In all work requir-
ing the use Of the eyes, whether with
extra exertion or not, care should al
ways be taken to protect the eyes
themselves from glare and so to ar
range that the bright light shall fall di-
rectly upon the work without shadows.
To prevent and relieve an infiamma-
tory condition of the eyelids 1t is
necessary to use some mild astringent
The most generally useful eye wash,
which should be always on the wash
stand, is made of ten grains Of boric
acid to an ounce Of camphor water
not spirits of camphor. Salt and water
give a good eye wash for the cup and
can be used several times a day. An

In Full is the Determination Of

State of West Virginia.

CHARLESTON, Oct. Ex-Governor
Hatfield is determined that the spirit
of the public service commission law,
giving to that body the authority to
regulate public utilities in the state,
shall be carried out fully. and in a
formal statement today he backed
UP his position by asserting he would

to strengthen the law in any way it
might be attached from a standpoint

tives OF various corporations which
may endeavor to escape the super

start the body out at the-very be-
ginning with full authority in these
matters.
The same idea which l expressed
In recent interview TO the effect that
l believed 1t would be better for the
corporations, as well as the people.
II the former would abandon the prac-
tice OF taking advantage of technical
tiles and deal with the people on
terms Of justice, can well be reiter-
ated in this matter, and IL the gas
companies will content themselves
by an effort to prove that they are
justly entitled to these increased
rates, and not attempt to violate the
spirit of the public service commits
sion law, 1t will prove better for all
concerned"
1.-THE attempt is being made to take
advantage Of the provisions of Sec
ton 9, Chapter 9, of the Act creating
the public service commission. AS
understand it. the gas company in
question holds that the commission
has no right to question the increase
in rates, but IL the consumer feels
aggrleved he has his remedy by ask
ing the commission to investigate. It
is fair and reasonable and is an es-
tablished precedent in all other
states as well as with the Interstate
Commerce Commission, that consent
must be had by public service cor
porations before rates can be raised,
and II not the case under our statute

itation upon the part Of some, one that
such requirement does not exist I'M

SPIRIT OF THE LAW
TO BE CARRIED OUT

near to the center of a very rich gas
territory. 80
Governor Hatfield proposes to have
the public service commission inyes-

because he believes 1t was the inton-
ton of the legislature that the com
mission should exercise judicial au-
thority in dealing with increased
rates and all other issues wherein
the peoples interests are at stake in
dealings with public service corpora
tons
IF the gas companies are able to
show conclusively that these in
creased rates are justified BY condi-
tons. then / am sure there will be
mo question as TO their receiving the
approval of the public service com

to the commission definite authority
