Today's Beauty Recipes
BY Nine. D'Mille

"A complexion rivaling the lilies In
purity naturally follows the use of
plain mayatone skin lotion, made by
dissolving an original package maya
tone in one-half pint witch hazel. This
simple lotion applied to the face, neck
and arms In the morning lasts through
out the day and overcomes the shiny
greasy look caused by powder or
creams. For tan. freckles and other
complexion blemishes the mayatone To-
ton is unequaled and not only gives
to the skin velvety smoothness. but
is actually invisible and is a fine pro-
lection for the complexion.
"Superfluous hairs can be removed
quickly and without pain or expense
by the application OF a delatone paste.
which is prepared by mixing enough
of the powdered delatone and water
into a paste SUFFICIENT to thickly cover
the Objectionable hairs This is to be
applied and In two minutes rubbed off
and the skin washed to remove the
remaining paste. Every trace of hair
vanishes with this simple treatment
and the skin Is left smooth, firm and
spotless. No harm results from It's
use."

'DEMOCRAT T|C CLUB
|. FOR CITY A|LWAYs
ORGANIZATION Announces It's
Platforms. Mem. Van
Wyck for Governor

The local democrats are hard at work
getting ready for the next election,
and already the names of various can
didates have been proposed.
Sidney Mem echan Van Wyck an
nounces that he will be a candidate for
the governorship. running as an inde-
pendent democrat opposed to the Bell
element of the party. His platform,
he says, will include a plank advo-
eating legislation to protect purchas-
ers of California land from swindling
dealers.
The San Francisco Democratic club
has announced its platform.
This includes declaration in favor
OF nonpartisanship in municipal cleo
tions: a charter amendment permitting
any elector or the grand jury to pro-
ceed against any public officer by ac-
cusation or presentment: extension of
the municipal street railway system
and acquisition of other public utili-
ties, particularly a municipal tele-
phone system.
The club opposes the policy of COM
promising in test cases that arise over
public service rates and goes on record
as against permitting the United Rail-
roads or other private corporations to
operate through tunnels built by the
people
The club demands a reformation of
the police courts $50 that they may
become proper places In which attor-
neys may practice law and citizens may
have their rights fairly determined in
criminal matters
The club also demands the abolition
OF useless Offices with their attendant

LOBBYING FOR BIRDS

of lobby were ever justihable, then
one that would insistently and unre-
lentingly besiege congress in the in
terests of the birds whose beautiful
plumage marks them for destruction
must fall within that category.
The Lane amendment, providing for
the restoration to the tariff bill of
the clause prohibiting the importation
of their plumage, will go far toward
accomplishing this purpose, in the
opinion of the Washington Post Any
pressure that can be brought to bear
upon the senate in furtherance of its
passage is wholly within the privi-
leges of every one opposed to wanton
cruelty and needless destruction. Only
through early action can many of the
birds be saved from total extermina-
ton, while, as with the egrets, whose
plumes are torn from the living bird
the adoption and enforcement of pro-
tective legislation will bring to an end
practice that can not be dwelt upon
without the deepest sense of shame
and Indignation.
The good work of the friends of the
birds in all parts of the country has
already given humane and helpful
tone to public sentiment in their be.

Audubon societies, which have labored

earnestly to enlist public sympathy in
the movement. DR.. William T. Hor-
naday of the New York geological
park suggests a personal appeal to
members of the senate, and particu-
larly to Senator Simmons, chairman
of the finance committee, at the pres
ent juncture.
With active efforts in this manner
a fresh impetus will be given to this
most praiseworthy undertaking, and
that, too, before the greed of man
and the vanity of woman have made it
too late. 1t is only just to say, how
ever, that many good women who
once used that form of decoration
have discarded the plurnage of birds
altogether, and it is more than prob
able that many others, who have
given but little thought to the matter,
would become earnest advocates of
reform in this respect when once ap-
prised of the cruelty and torture rep
resented in their cherished apparel.
With the weight of their support
added to the organized effort already
begun, the result should be a mani
fest and overwhelming public senti-
ment against which the millinery in
terests will plead in vain.

these fin de steele declarations of inde-

lations of the modern toilette. are the
clergy. Edwards Davis, now appearing
at the Orpheum in an allegorical af-
fectation, was clergyman few years
ago and Is remembered as such by
many residents Of Oakland.
For the benefit of those who have
not seen his Kingdom of Destiny" 1t

On the ferry boat the other night
were some Berkeley people, homeward
bound after an evening spent at the
Orpheum. They were discussing the
show.
How did you like Edwards Davis?"
one Of them asked. Didn't you think
that the costumes OF the girls were a
bit startling?'

couldn't help remembering that Mr.
Davis used to be a clergyman. I have

THE DANCING CRAZE

In recognition of the omnipresence
of the turkey trot and tango, Baden
Baden decided to hold an interna-
tional dancing tournament the last 10
days in August. Prizes aggregating
$500 will be awarded, including a
trophy which will carry with it the
worlds tango championship.
Thus the New York East Side
couples will have an opportunity to
compete against the elite of the four
hundred if they can manage to ac-
cumulate the price of a passage to
Germany. 1t is not likely that many
of the East Side champions will enter
the tournament because of the dis
tance from home, but were they to
do so it is probable that they could
teach Europe some new acrobatic ma
neuvers in connection with the tango.
The universally of this dancing
craze, which has affected high as well
as low life, is not without excuse or
reasons, the Washington Post thinks.
Nature has put into us the desire for
what is good for us. All of us need
exercise. The doctors tell US SO. and
our common sense gives approval to
the doctors verdict But we want
amusement as we'll as health. 1t is
not much pleasure to get up at 5
o'clock i'll the morning and walk six
miles across country. 1t is not only
tiresome, but boresome
The same spirit which has made for
the great popularity of the automobile
has made for the popularity of the
turkey trot and tango. Dancing and
motoring supply exercise or fresh air
with the greatest possible enjoyment
and the minimum of exertion In an
automobile we can race through the
country, breathing in the fresh air
and seeing something of nature with
out mental or physical strain. Dancing
the turkey trot or tango provides a
capsule form of exercise which COM
bines sociability with music, with ex-
ercise on the side.
1t is doubtful whether any of the
turkey trot hends have tried to ana
lyze their happiness in dancing, but it
comes largely from the fact that it
keeps the blood in circulation and
makes no demands upon the mind.
As these dances are being taught to-
day there is nothing immodest in
them, and if there were not some
good in them it is not likely that they
would have obtained such worldwide
popularity

JAPAN's FRESH RESENTMENT

Japanese diplomacy evidently does
not sy1npathize with the policy of
silence pursued at Washington. Tokyo
is once again the medium of infor-
nation that otherwise would be with
held from the knowledge of the
American public for an indefinite time
Seeing that Japan has from the first
ignored the state department request
that the negotiations growing Out of
the California alie1 land law contro-
versy be conducted in secrecy, what
good purpose, asks the Washington
Post, is served by any one sided ad-
herence to that plan of communica-
tion5 Have the senate and house
foreign relations committees been
consulted relative to the proposition
to settle the dispute on the basis of a
financial consideration to Japanese
subjects injuriously affected by legis-
lative restrictions? Do those com
mittees also entertain the strained
opinion that the California case is on
all fours with the lynchings of Chinese
at Rock Springs, Wyo., and Italians
at New Orleans, the precedents cited
by the state department. in support of
its present position?
However, there is not thesslightest
prospect that the financial .overtures
from Washington will ever reach the
congressional stage. Japan holds that
the alleged violation of treaty obliga-
tons concerns her national honor, and
since that is her point of view it is
akin TO adding insult to injury-as
evidenced by the excited state of pub
lie sentiment in Tokyo-to tender
gold as a quid pro quo. Japanese
diplomacy takes the people into its
confidence with commendable promp-
titude, acquainting them at once with
the character of the American note,
and letting it be known that the offer
will be rejected, and outlining the
governments future course in the
matter.
Japan still desires to maintain
friendly relations with America, and
hence she will continue to seek a
solution of the controversy through
diplomatic channels. Failing, she will
hold the matter as standing griev-
ance. State department. officials ad-
herring to the policy of keeping the
