 DEPRESSES STOCKS.

New York. April 24 opening Press .lare was direct in the stock market at the outset today. Leading specula-: tive stocks, particularly Reading and Union Pacific, were sold in large amounts and there was 8 general re- cession in prices. In many instances the lowest quotations of the present decline were reported.
 The depressing influence of the Mex ican situation was the principal un- settling factor. which was augmented by a drop of American stocks in the London market before the opening here.

FEEDING THE PETS.

MOST persons make the mistake of
-'A feeding cat too much meat. 1t is
| far better to give little meat and many
vegetables. Five cents worth of liver
or beef scraps may be cooked in three
pints of water, which should be salted a
little. When the meat is done, put it.
together with soft-cooked potatoes. car
rots. and even little turnip or cabbage
through food chopper. Serve hot or
cold three times a day.
Instead of the vegetables cornmeal
graham and oatmeal. or cornmeal and
potatoes. may be used to thicken the
water to mush. Table scraps should
be ground and also added Enough of
the food to last a week may be quickly
and easily prepared
Such feeding should be begun with kit
tens, although old cats easily learn to
like such food. Do not give much milk:
most cats are able to digest very little of
it. An easy way to give medicine to

oughly with little butter or molasses.
and smear 1t on kitty's upper lip. She

In glass jar mix four ounces of pure

distilled vinegar. Let this stand corked

it once day. Filter the mixture through
coarse brown paper to get rid of all the

jar filled with distilled water, rinse and
shake thoroughly. Finally filter again
and mix the powder with fifteen grammes
of spermaceti ground very fine, three
grains of carmine and just enough violet

this mixture in a porcelain bowl or jar

pack away in Jars or boxes and keep
free from dust.
The girl who "freckles" must not go
bareheaded even at tennis or golf. She
must train herself to wear a shade hat
of some sort-best of all one of the ruffiy
fluffy sunbonnets, which will not in the
least detract from her appearance.
While driving. motoring or going for
long walks she must don a veil, one in
either brown or red being best, as these
two colors break or reject the blue and
violet rays of the sun, so conducive to
freckles. The veil should be of chiffon
or silk, never an open-mesh veil with
dots.
Two simple remedies within the reach
of every girl in the country are ripe
tomatoes, which may be split and used
to rub the face, and horseradish mixed
with sour milk. The latter is said to
be the very best preventive and cure for
summer freckles. Scrape horseradish
very fine until you get a teaspoonful.
Mix with cupful of sour milk. Allow it
to stand six hours and apply two or three
times day with a soft linen cloth.

AUTOMOBILE COMFORTS.

A HOT-COIID bottle and a fireless
"A cooker are just the things for long
automobile trip. In them you can keep
food and drink either ice cold or smok-
ing hot. just as you prefer. Your lunch
can be cooking in the fireless or else
simply be keeping hot. They are two in
dispensable articles to the picnicking mo-
torist. A toy trunk will hold food that
does not need to be kept hot. such as
sandwiches. cake. pickles. etc. The tray
can be used for napkins and small silver.
An ordinary cheap sewing table that
folds up fiat takes up little space. and is
great luxury when picncking.
What to do with numerous small pack
ages In an automobile after the pockets
are full can be solved by hanging a
child's doll hammock to the top. over
ones head. This is especially handy for
a long trip when space is at a premium,
as there Is always room for just one
thing more in the hammock. This device
Is all the more appreciated because it is
in no ones way.
A sofa pillow and a hassock will be
found invaluable on a long motor trip.
particularly to any one who is short of

A woman often wishes to carry a dress
hat when taking long motoring trip. To
do this without taking a hat box, make
a large square bag out Of strong paper
muslin the color of the lining of your
automobile. Into this put your hat and
pin 1t over your head by all four corners.
In this way the hat rides easily. does not
crush or catch the dust, and is out of
the way, besides being out Of sight of
passersby. Never sit with your hat in
your lap with its pins pointing toward
you. x sudden lurch of the automo-
bile would be likely to send the pins

clever device to carry In ones motor
car is a dust neck. This is merely

center and an opening cut from center
to edge. This may be flung round the
neck and thrown of when arriving at
the destination.
An article that would be very useful on
an automobile tour is a fiat pocketbook
case which contains a basin. wash
cloth. soap and towel. The basin is of
rubber and folds fat. A car 'indispens-
able" is a roll of paper toweling, slipped
into a drilling bag made to fit 1t. and
closed tight with drawstrings. The
towels will dust car and riders at the end
of a spin. They answer the purpose of

useful in many other ways.

nETWEEN her love of outdoor life
n and sports and her fear of freckles
the thn-skinned girl certainly has
her troubles at this season of the year.
She thinks she must choose between a
plexion. In a way her fears are ground
less, especially if she has what might
be called summer sunshine freckles only.
There are two sorts of freckles, those
which come from the direct rays of the
sun in hot weather and those which
remain the year round, stubbornly refus-
ing to yield to any sort of treatment. and
which are known as ''cold" freckles.
Cold freckles are practically incurable.
The only thing girl can do is to pre-
vent their increase In number and dark
ening in color by the most painstakig
protective measures.
The simplest and safest lotion for re-
ducing the coloring of "cold" freckles
is lemon juice. If your skin is not too
tender apply the lemon juice plain: if the
skin is very tender and reddens under the
touch of lemon acid mix glycerin and
rosewater in equal proportions and add
lemon juice as strong as your skin VIII
endure it. This amount can be ascertain
ed only by actual test
x *
If you have only few freckles and
these far apart touch each freckle with
a fine camers hair brush dipped in the
lemon lotion, say night and morning. II
the freckles are peppered thickly all over
your face or in certain parts of the face
dip clean bit of old linen in the lotion
and mop the affected parts with it.
This same treatment may be used by
the girl who Is bothered by summer frc-
kles only. In her case the lemon juice
will cause the annoying blotches to dis
appear entirely, while it will only fade
cold freckles
But even more important than the use
Of this lotion is your care of the skin
whenever you go out. either for summer
sports or mere walking or driving. Pre-
pare the face very carefully. First rub
a good cold cream thickly into the pores
of the skin. Massage this in as thorough
ly as If you were taking your daily beauty
treatment. and wipe off any excess of
cream with a clean piece of old linen,
Then apply very carefully a pure face
powder.
AS to powder, if you are not sure as
to the ingredients in the one you ordi-
narily use. make your own powder. 1t
will cost you Just as much as the pro-
prietary article, but you will have the
