MAN OF The HOUR IN TURKEY

Enyer Pasha, minister of war,
leader Of the Young Turk party and
son-in-law of the sultan. stands forth
Just now as the most prominent fig

one Of the four actual directors Of the
destinies of Turkey. and the most
forceful of the three. He is said to
be consumed by ambition and to be-
lieye himself to be a man of destiny,
He affects the genius of Napoleon, and
dreams in secret Of converting the
actual Ottoman directory into a con-
sulate. In the role of first consul he
would then change the consulate into
an empire, following the example of
Bonaparte.

SOLUTION TO REMOVE HAIR
Oisflsurins Growth on Upper Lip May
Easily Be Done Away Wlth-Use
Of Lemon In seautifying.

One Of the worst Disbursements
that women fall heir to is the growth
of superfiuous hair on the upper lip.
Many and varied are the remedies
suggested, but such should be followed
with the greatest discrimination and
judgment.
An excellent cure is suggested as
follows: Moisten the superfluous hairs
with simple sulfo solution. 1t will be
found that this application will dis
solve the hair and, whether heavy or
light, 1t will disappear.
Most depilatories are apt to leave a
red spot and an extreme irritation of
the skin, but this particular remedy
will leave the skin soft, smooth and
clear. Its action is gentle and most
effective in Immediately removing the
hair.
Smart women generally keep lemon
on the toilet table, as the application
of fresh lemon Juice is excellen. for
whitening and identifying the hands.
The juice will also remove stains from
around the finger nails and will vastly
improve the color of the skin. No toilet
table should be without the ever-use-
full lemon.
1t is not universally known that an
excellent whitener for the teeth is to
be found in common salt. The teeth
should be carefully brushed with a lit.
tie salt at least once a week, taking
care to rinse the mouth out carefully
afterwards, so that not one particle OF
the salt may remain around the teeth.
The whitening effect of salt upon the
teeth is instantaneous.

below strict low middling, however,
the creamy color or bloom is lost,
since climatic and soil conditions that
lower the grade to this extent also az
feet the color, giving either a dead
white, gray, or a dingy or reddish
cast to the lower grades, although they
pass commercially as white cotton.
The above variations in color can
best be seen when the cotton is placed
In north light. If out of doors, the eX-

quently experienced along a coast
where there are numerous clouds.
The reflection may be more trouble
some when grading near large bodies
of water.
With cotton that can be classed as
white, the amount of foreign matter
or impurities is Of greater importance
than color in determining the grade.
1t will be seen that grade and value
do not run parallel except for cottons
that have the same qualities Of staple.
The cotton merchant, in filling the
spinners' orders, must rate the
strength, length, pliability and even
ness of the staple as well as the grade.

Screw on each side of the base of
the grinding stone a wooden arm as

should be slotted. A board a little

hole, running from edge to edge The
board is fastened to the grindstone

A bolt is put through the slots in the
arms and the hole in the board. The
bolt may be frightened up to hold the

board and held firmly. This arrange

acquaintance among the lawless ele-

a high respect for the legal abilities

that after his term as prosecuting at

Among his clients were a number of

irresponsible crowd who turned to
him to extricate them from the trou-
