THE MOST Feminine FEATURE.

The most feminine feature is the
mouth.
The mouth can make or mar the
face. It is q merciless feature. for it
10 an infallible index to character. 1t
indicates firmness. sullenness. cheer
fulness, sensuality. hardness and kind
ness. It is h weathervane OF our
face. ~betraying U moods with terrible
fidelity.
II the character is naturally q beau
tiful one, the ugliest mouth gains by
It. IL It 1s not, the most beautiful
mouth loses. To force a hard or uri-
kind mouth into a pretty position il to
give It an artificial look.
Still, we can control the expressions
OF u mouth to q great extent.
Youth generally lei beauty, but
with age are apt to come tiny burrows
and wrinkles In the lips. To help this
rub olive oil or them each night.
Nothing ruins the lips 80 speedily as
chapped lips. Never go out in win
ter without rubbing q goodly amount
OF camphor ice or vaseline on the lips.
Do this when you come in. Carry q
tin tube OF 1t with your in your purse,
and use 1t.
It seems silly to say anything against
the habits OF biting OF wetting the lips
continually. Yet this is done with as
tonishing regularity by women who
otherwise ara careful Of their beauty.
The cid fable Of biting the lips to
make hem red is long since disproved.
The color. while 1t may flow into the
lips for the moment, quickly leaves
them whittier. rougher and dryer than
ever. Healthy lips are the reddest.

St. Paul, June 10.-Minnesota rail.
roads will be compelled to rebate to
shippers and passengers at least 49,
100000 as result of the supreme
court opinion in the now famous rate
case
Three classes of rates are affected,
all differently.
In 1906 the railroad commission es-
tablished schedule of merchandise
rates, effective Nov. Is Of that year.
In 1907 the legislature passed the
commodity rate law, effective June l
Of that year. .@ .
The same year 1t passed the 2-cent
passenger fare law, also effective
June 1.
The merchandise rates were put into
force by the railroads and not with
drawn until June l, 1911. The same is
true of the passenger rates.
The commodity rates were never en-
forced, having been enjoined by the
United States district court.
I'll
roads owe shippers and passengers as
follows:
A rebate of the difference between
the merchandise rates established by
the legislature and those in force by
the railroads since June 1, 1911-ap-
proximately 100000.
Receipts Good for Rebate.
A rebate on all passenger fares, ex-
cept over the Minneapolis and st.
Louis, of cent mile for every mile
travelled from June 1, 1911, which
probably will amount to 100000, as
only those who took receipts for the
fares paid will be entitled to a rebate.
A return of everything paid in ex-
cess of the commodity rates of 1907
from June l of that year to June l,
1913, estimated at $2,40O,OOO, includ-
ing interest.
In 1909 the legislature established
the principle that the excess commod-
ity rates must be returned to shippers
should the state win in the rate case.
! It is a we'll known principle that
when a railroad charges more than
the tariff rate the shipper may recov-
