ounces of almond oil, one and one-quar-

one-quarter OF an ounce Of white wax
Shred the wax and the spermaceti fine

enamelware saucepan will do. Stand
it in another saucepan about a third

mering until the ingredients are en-
tirely melted and then add few drops
of lavender oil and pour into small
china pots. The preparation can be
used as soon as 1t is cool and will keep

THE COPPER SITUATION

Careful inquiry into the position of
copper discloses a surprisingly strong
position. In fact, the Amalgamated
Copper company and the American
Smslting & Refining company. the
two largest interests in the produc-
ing trade, are sold many weeks
ahead. The position of the Amalga-
mated company is particularly strong
and the official statement is made
to the Boston News Bureau that the
company was never sold farther
ahead than at the present time. That
is the reason Mr.. Ryan is asking Is
cents for copper, although of course
the metal is to be had from other
producing interests at 14A cents.
Nevertheless Amalgamated has none
for sale at less than this price.
The Guggenheims are selling at
14A cents, but being many weeks sold
ahead it will require only few more
orders to compel 15-cent quotation
from that quarter.
All of the larger producing inter
ests are now operating On about a
65 per cent capacity basis, and in
fact the increased scale of produc-
tion has been in force for some time,
but it will be some weeks yet be-
fore the market receives the larger
output, owing to the time it takes to
get the raw product through the var.
ious smelling and refining processes.
The trade statement that surplus
stocks of copper at the refineries
have increased during the past month
all the way from 10000, 900 to 20,0O0.-
900 pounds can be dismissed as ''the
vaporings of a disordered mind" No
such increase has taken place. With
the largest selling interests sold 60
and 80 days ahead and in some cases
oversold. 1t is absurd to talk of ac.
cumulating stocks.-Mining and Fin

Winter Care of the Skin.

Winter Care Of the Skin.
Every girl can retain her sort smooth
skin through the entire winter ny
spending Just few extra minutes In
preparing for 1t guard against win
ter's winds.
The first rule, which each girl should
remember, is never to dry her skin
hastily after washing. This Is the
most important Of all rules for winter,
for more chapped skins are due to
slipshod drying than to any other
cause.
Also the girl who is careful of her
complexion should be quite sure that
no soap remains ON her skin. After
washing with soap she should rinse all
over with clear, fresh water. Then
brisk. thorough drying should take
place with coarse bath towel If pos
sible. A dry, rough bath towel is far
better for thorough drying than the
ordinary face towel, which absorbs the
water but does not take the moisture
from the skin.
If the girl is going out Immediately
after washing II little pure olive oil
should be rubbed into the face and
little camphor ice into the hands. The
pure olive oil is far better than Ordi-
nary cold cream for keeping the skin
smooth 1t is not apt to grow q great
deal OF hair, as 50 many persons are
inclined to think. Before going out
into the wind little of the oil should
be well rubbed into the face and then
busted over with powder.
At night. after the face has been
washed in warm water. the girl should
rub in some good cold cream and then
remove 1t with absorbent cotton. This
will not only remove all the dirt of
the day. but it will also leave the face
soft and smooth for the night.
A point for the girl who is anxious
to avoid n chapped face is to taboo
wells, unless they are of white mesh.
If they are closely woven the moisture
from the breath will cling, wetting the
veil, which in turn will chap all the
skin around the mouth and nose.

RESURRECTION MORN

time poured its stream of golden
wealth into the lap of all those who
had the hardihood to penetrate her
innernrrst recesses and unlock her
golden treasure vaults, like the cele-
brated Sphinx, is surely rising from
her own ashes. With the advent of
new and energetic blood spurred to
action by the marvellous tales of
wealth that once flowed from these
rock-ribbed and granite hills, the
county is fast returning to those pal
my days.
The second tier of treasure boxes

man, and their treasures are being
turned into the various marts of
trade for tie benefit of mankind.

year ago, are now knocking out from
$500 to $1,000 per day, and the pros

heralded to the world, capital is COM

WHY ALL MUST TELL AGE

In Illinois the election law requires
all voters to tell their exact age. Some
OF the recently emanacipated women
voters seriously object to this feature
of the law. Secrecy with regard to
ones age is a feminine popularity.
Just why any person should be
ashamed to tell when they were born
is mystery which no one can sue
cessfully answer. However, there is
a good reason for requiring voters
to tell their ages. Politics is unfor-
tunately too corrupt. All acknowledge
that statement to be a fact. In the
large cities there Is law which re-
quires that voters shall register be-
fore election. Now IL a man aged 81
should register as John @. Adams and
at election time another should at
tempt to vote under that cognomen
who had seen twice 81 summers and
winters, the fraud could be easily de-
tected. That is the principal reason
for the age requirement, and all who
are in favor Of clean elections should
be willing to give their correct age.
1t is no reflection upon either them
selves or their mothers to tell the
truth. Sensible and patriotic women
want to clean up the corruption in
politics, therefore they should abide
by law which seeks to protect the
ballot.

Care Of the Sink.

Never leave the kitchen sink In a
greasy and dirty state. Do not throw
anything but water down it, and II the
water is greasy flush 1t well afterward
with hot soapy water. When the
washing is finished pour down some
hot soda water as an extra precautiOn.
Never allow grease and refuse to col
lect in the sink pipe and trap or they
will soon get out of order. Every sink
should be provided with sink basket
In which to keep tea leaves and vege.
table parings. etc., and'p sink brush,
with which the sink should be thor.
oughly secured after each washing up.

PETTIcoATs FOR DANCING.
Slashes at the Side to Permit Freedom
Of Movement.

Of Movement.
The dancing petticoat is usually
made with a slash in each side. This
arrangement tnsures freedom. without
which 1t is impossible nowadays to
dance. The lower edges of the front
and back of the petticoat are usually
rounded, so that the petticoat is really
formed of two sections rounded into q
deep oval at the bottom fastened to-
gether along their long edges and fit
ted or gathered into the waist along
the narrow edges.
Petticoats of knitted silk are far
more durable than those made even Of
the sOftest and best satin. For eventu
ally the satin wears out. and it seems
as If the knitted silk fabric never
wears out 1t is usually used for the
upper part of the petticoat and In more
expensive ones is used also for the
plated ruffie. These are more than
worth the extra price charged for
them.
Petticoats made Of pique. buttonholed
In big scallops about the bottom, are
durable and servicenble. They are not
transparent, and that Is one of the
things that commend them for practi-
cal wear,

With the legs of his trousers nicely

And the classiest sort of hose,
But he changes his tweeds for over

His coat for a flannel shirt
And down on level he works like

Shoveling copper dirt!
For he is a gentleman mucker
Who's learning the miners trade,
Who acts as an ore-car trucker
And pushes it up the grade,
He has to sweat, YOU bet, to get
The wages he is paid;
But he's learning lot in his new

Toward home or a near hotel,
And the gentleman -ucker eats his

And his porter house steak as we'll;
Then he tumbles out of his flannel
shirt
And his muddified overalls,
And away he goes in his evening
clothes
Making a round of calls,
For he is a gentleman mucker
In the swellest of "happy duds, "
In his nobbiest bib and tucker
His shirt with its cleaning studs,
At night, all right, he's handsome
sight
The gayest of gay young bloods!
The hostess pet and the ladies'
joy,
The gentleman mucker's Quite
Some Boy!
The gentleman mucker learns the
ropes
And he talks in the miners slang,
OF "chut es" and raj es" and "sumps'
and "stopes,"
OF mining he gets the hang,
And the first you know he's a man
of fame
And boss of mine or two,
And he digs no more in the copper
ore;
With the mucking job he's through
But he's proud he was once mucke,
Who worked in the mine below,
This fellow who wouldn't tucker
But ever was on the go,
a man whose plan was Sure l Can
If you'll give me a show!"

MR.. RoosEvELT's
coPPERHEADIsM

Applauding Mr.. Roosevelt's attacks
upon President Wilson's policy of
strict neutrality, the London Spec
tator is confident that vast num-
ber" of Americans will recognize that
Mr.. Roosevelt has arisen to the
greatness of the occasion" and that
he has performed task worthy of
himself and of the place he hclds in
the national life.''
It makes little difference what the
London Spectator thinks, but it would
be unfortunate, indeed. if any consid-
men deluded themselves into bel;ev
ing that Mr.. Roosevelts copperhead-
ism represents American sentiment.
What Theodore Roosevelt thinks of
Woodrow Wilson in this crisis is of
as little Importance as what Frank
lin Pierce thought of Abraham Lin
coin in the crisis of 1861.
The attitude of the American peo-
pie toward their president and their
government at this tine was defined
by former President Taft in the no.
BILE and patriotic speech that he made
at Morristown On Washington's birth
day Referring to those persons who
attack President Wilson because he
has been faithfully following the eX-
ample set and the admonitions Civ
en- by our first pres ident," Mr.. Taft
said:
I'VE must abide by the judgment
of those to whom We have intrusted
the authority, and when the president
shall act, we must stand by him to
the end"
That is how most Americans feel.
was said in substance recently in the
house of representatives by Mr.. Mann
the Republican leader. Except for
few GermanAmericans, few Anglo
Americans and a few professional
critics like Mr.. Roosevelt, there is
no popular dissent from the presi-
dents Interpretation of the rights
and duties OF neutrality.
Many Europeans, like the editor of
the Spectator, have made the m s.
take of taking Mr.. Roosevelt's criti-
cisms of President Wilson seriously.
They have been misled by Mr.. Roose-
velt's former power and prestige in
to thinking that he commands an i'm
portant body of American public opin'
| ion in his present desire to make the
United States a left-landtd ally of
some of the belligerents. They do
not know that on this issue Mr..
Roosevelt has no following whatever.
Even the German-American, who are
persistent critics of the president,
part company with Mr.. Roosevelt on
the policy that he would substitute
for President Wilson's policy.
The wise and sane course for all
foreigners to adopt at this time is to
take it for granted that the presi-
dent of the United States speaks for
the people of the United States. and
that the people of the United States
will stand by their government re-
gardless of party prejudice or race
sympathies. What copperhead SEN
timent may exist is not worth capt.
