LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS
Avoid Chapped Lips, Miladi

During the winter months the lips
fall heir to many ills and as re-
suit. look anything but attractive
Let us turn our thoughts to the sub
ject and see if we can not find some
regardless of wintry winds
Never bite the lips, as this will
cause them to thicken, and, inciden-
tally, the texture of the skin which
covers them will be spoiled.
Guard against moistenis1g your lips
continually. This is the way to ac-
quire chaps and cold sores.
If your lips have already become
scanned and dry through these unwise
practices and exposure to the cold,
it will be well to keep them covered
with some healing oil until the irri-
tated condition passes away.
If the lover OF smooth-skinned lips
wishes to cover her lips with some
thing trifle more elaborate than
she should make up small jar OF
the following dainty cream, as it Is a
prime favorfte with those who have
used it.
This lip cream formula runs thus:
One ounce of spermaceti ointment,
teen grains of a1kanet root and five
drops of oil of cloves. The alkanet
should be heated in the spermacati
ointment until the latter melts and
the whole is a rose color. Next, pass
through a strainer, then, when slight
for few minutes, then pour off the
clear part and add the oil Of cloves.
Pour this pornade into small jars and
do not use until 1t is quite cold.

Consideration of Note
Is Deferred

Washington. June 6.-Japan's latest note
In regard to the California land legisla-
tion, admittedly furnishing problems call
culated to tax the talents of the Ameri-
can negotiators, was read at the cabinet
meeting today and later was the subject
Of conference between President Will
son and John Bassett Moore, counsellor
of the state department
Consideration of the note by the cabi-
net was deferred until the return of Sec
retary Bryan, who left early In the aft
ernoon for Pttsburg to attend farewell
dinner in honor of the new ambassador
to Japan from the United States, George
w. Guthrie. There was some discussion.
however, after the long document had
been read, and President Wilson, as a
result of his talk with Ambassador Chinda
yesterday, was able to illuminate the
formal arguments presented with side
lights disclosing internal political condi-
tions In Japan which are powerfully in
fluencing. the Japanese foreign office In
the conduct of the negotiations.
Dispatches From Toxic
Press DISPATCHES from Toxic outlining
the contents of the Japanese communica-
ton were received with great interest
here.
Officials who have examined into the
subject have reached the conclusion that
the Japanese foreign office has shown. a
remarkable knowledge of American con-
stitutional law and that the legal lights
of the state department will be taxed to
the utmost to rebut he arguments pre-
sented.
The assertion that the California law
violates the spirit of the existing treaty
by discriminating against the Japanese,
however. is looked upon as slight retreat
from the original broad statement that
the treaty had been directly violated.
Touching the point that the right of
Japanese to own or lease houses carries

lands. this it is contended here, is true
