How American Women
May Keep Faces Young

THE American smart woman ages
early. far earlier than the English wo-
man." says Christian Miller, +. c. l., the
famous English health expert. She adds
that our climate 80 eXhilarates that you
over-eXert yourselves and grow old be-
fore you know it. That same exhilarating
air dries the skin. The skin that lacks
moisture grows pale and withered looking
and, soon forms wrinkles.
sThe American complexion" is best
treated by applying pure mercolized wax,
which causes the faded. lifeless cuticle to
flake off in minute particles. a little each
day, until the fresh, young skin beneath
is wholly in evidence. Every druggist
has this wax; one ounce is sufficient.
Spread on at night like cold cream,
washing it off next morning.
For wrinkles. dissolve an ounce of pow
dered saXolte in half pint witch hazel
battle the face in this. Immediately every
wrinkle is affected, even the deeper lines.

Inc Truth About
Water Glass
(How to Reduce Your Eqa Bill.)

When eggs are at their cheapest and
| best, and before the really hot weather
arrives. the wise hOuseKeeper will put
away q lbral quantity in water-glasS.
At the North Dakota Agricultural EX-
pertinent Station it has been found pos
sible by this method, to keep eggs for
nine months with no noticeable deteriora-
ton. In most packed eggs the yolk set
ties to one side. but when preserved in
water glass the yoll remains in the origi-
nal position as when fresh. They lose no
weight. beat up well for frostings and
cake, and are most satisfactory for table
use They will keep a week after re-
moval from the preventative solution.
WaterglasS, or soluble glass, is the
common name for Solution Soda Silicate.
Commercial water-glass is often a mix
A good grade of water-glass should be
of the consistency of heavy New Or
leans moiasses. 1t is common to find
samples which are strongly alkaline. This
such will not keep as well. having a
tendency to become more or less Watery.
For use, one part of water-glass is
thoroughly mixed with ten parts of
water. which should be clean and pure.
Boiled water is preferable. although not
necessary. ANY soft water, such. as rain,
will give satisfactory results. Earthen
crooks, tin or galvanized pals. wood
See that they are thoroughly clean and
do not leak. The Container should be
half filed with the diluted liquid and the
eggs immersed one at Il time, care being
taken 10 have the liquid thoroughly
mOiStcn the eggShell.
DO not wash the eggs before immersing.
DO not pat the eggs in first and then
pour on the LIQUID. Eggs may be added
from day to day as obtained and need not
be put into the solution all at one time
Only fresh eggs should be put down; old
or stale eggs will not keep and have a
tendency to iniure the others 1t Is not
necessary to have alright covers for
with paper, held secure by any suitable
weight. AT least eight inches Of liquid
should remain over the top of the eggs.
Storage should be in a cool place. II
often happens that after q time the LIQUID
turns milky and a gelatinous deposit
forms about the eggs. This does not in
terfere with their preservation.
A bubble Of gas sometimes collects in
the blunt end of the egg, and when the
egg is boiled this may cause the shell to
break. To avoid this make small pin-
hole in that end of the shell before nut
ting into hot water
Practically all authorities are agreed
that this system of preserving eggs by
immersion in water-glass is the simplest
ana most effectual. BY stoppage Of the
pores the eggshell is impervious to both
air and water.
FOR several years this store has sold a
special brand of water-glass for presery-
ing eggs and care is taken to see that IL
Is always just right. We have yet to
learn OF a case OF unsatisfactory results

With the dismissal of a suit filed by

OF costs In the case Of their citation
for contempt of the United States Dis
trict Court, the charge against Attor-
ney General Moose United States
District Attorney ]. V. Bourland and
10 Johnson OF Fort Smith, will be dis
missed. An order 10 this effect was
issued by Judge Jacob Trieber after
consideration Of responses filed by
the attorneys in the court.
The suit in behalf OF the state was
filed against lands which are in the
hands OF q receiver. When the suit
was filed the Mercantile Trust Com
pany of Little Rock, as receiver for
the Cremer Company, filed a petition
in the federal court for instructions.
The attorneys were then cited Dy
Judge Trieber for contempt
In the responses, ]. V. Bourland as
sumed all responsibility for filing the
suit, and said that it was instituted
through inadvertance. 10 Johnson
adopted the responses of Mr.. Bour-
land, with the permission of the court.
Attorney General Moose, in a re-
sponse, said that his connection with
the suit was merely nominal, and that
he had never seen the complaint and
did not even know who were the de-
PENDANTS.
Judge Trieber ordered that a GER
tificate from the chancery clerk OF

had been dismissed be filed in yhe

PROTEST VALUATION

SAYS Bill Was Rushed Through the
Senate and the House Without
Any Debate.
Little Rock

Little Rock
The Associated Commercial TraV-
elers Of America, through Millard L.
Heise of New York city, president,
have voiced a protest against the
Cummins amendment recently passed
BY Congress, requiring passengers to
value their baggage and pay extra
rates for baggage valued at over 500.
They say that the commercial traveller
will gradually be eliminated by such
legislation, and that mail-order huoses
will take his place.
The Cummins amendment was due
10 go into effect June 3, but on ac-
count of the complexity of the check
ing system 1t is not yet in operation
In the Southwest, although it is being
used IN the East and Southeast.
According to letter prepared by
the Associated Commercial Travellers,
"This amendment will cost the COM
mercial interests of the United States
unnecessary millions without any ap-
parent benefit except that derived by
the railroad companies. The bill was
rushed through both the Senate and
the House without debate, and on its
face indicates the efforts of paid lob
byists, rather than intelligent con-
sideration."
The Commercial Travellers COM
plain that those firms that send out
statesmen with very valuable samples,
such as jewelry and furs, carry float
ing insurance, which covers all losses
while their travellers are on the road,
whether such losses occur while the
baggage is in the possession Of the
railroad companies, hotels or other
points during the period when the
commercial travellers are engaged in
selling merchandise. Jewelry samples,
they say, will run into the thousands
OF dollars.

1--WE recount one or two instances,
where 1t has been done in the past,
only which serves to show the posi-
bility of wrong-doing on a larger
scale. Under this system there would
be no difficulty whatever in the head
OF an institution issuing vouchers for
persons not even in his employment
and getting warrants issued on these
vouchers and cashing them. This de-
feet in the law should certainly be
remedied at the next session Of the
legislature. 1t might be we'll in this
connection to mention the fact that
heretofore and during the period GOV.
cred by this audit, the University Of
Arkansas has been allowed to draw
out the appropriation made for its use
in large sums and deposited in Il
bank and checked out by the properly
constituted authority Of the institution
which gives absolutely no check on
the institution in the auditors Office
as to the disbursement Of these funds.
However, in the last legislature the
appropriation bill for this institution
provided that all its funds should be
paid out by the treasurer on war
rants issued by the auditor and no
warrants can be issued by the audi
tor except an itemized statement Is
filed with the voucher submitted by
the institution
ut might be said here, that while
the fund appropriated for the use Of
the agricultural schools cannot be
drawn out of the state treasury only
by vouchers being filed with the audi
tor OF state ana warrant issued
thereon, there is no provision in the
law for an itemized statement to be
filed with the vouchers in the auditor
of state office, and the whole of such
funds Is absolutely In the hands OF tho
respective institution to be drawn out
as they zee fit and no information can
be obtained in the auditors office in
