TODAY'S BEAUTY HINTS

To whiten and beautify the
complexion permanently we have
found. no better preparation than
a lotion made by dissolving four
ounces of spurmax in one-half
pint hot water, then adding two
teaspoonfuls glycerin. This re-
moves any pimples, shiny, muddy
or sallow appearance, and will
make anyone's skin clear, smooth
and velvety. 1t does not show or
rub off like powder; in fact, 1t
seems a part of the skin; and for
removing tan and freckles is I'M
equaled.
1t is necessary to shampoo
more frequently in the warmer
weather because Of excessive dust
and the fact that the head per-
spires more and Is usually more
exposed to the weather. The cas-
iest-to-use and understanding
shampoo that we can recommend
to our readers can be prepared
very cheaply by dissolving a tea
spoonful of canthrox, obtained
from your druggist, In cup Of
hot water. This rubbed into the
scalp creates thick lather,
soothing and cooling In its action,
and very beneficial to scalp and
hair. After rinsing the scalp IL

Some women have no more
business to take up the work of
nursing than others have to adopt
the stage as a profession. The
woman who becomes a strict ma

pulley and wheels and bars does,

Eliene is craving company, and
while everyone should not be ad-

Eliene's nurse illustrates the
fact that all Eliene's money is
only able to buy service-that it
is impossible for money alone to
buy sympathy and interest.

If the principle is good on the lakes, it is good

The Erie canal may yet become a highway as
great as it must be to justify the money lavshed
on it's deepening and improvement.
The Baltimore & Ohio railway may have to
give up it's grip on the old Chesapeake & Ohio
canal which runs from the coal regions along
the Potomac to tide water.
All the old canals may be freed from the blight

BY Herbert Quick

Eight years ago, at the time when President
Roosevelt was on his way down the Mississippi
on a steamboat to attend a waterway conven-
ton, just when the conservation movement was
beginning to grip the nation, this present writer
published series of studies in waterway con-
servation, afterwards published in book called
american Inland Waterways
In it was laid down the principle that water
way development could not take place so long as
the railways are allowed to strangle waterway
traffic
1t was there stated that the railway ownership
OF boat lines should be prohibited; that the rail
ways should not be allowed to make hostile rates
as low as freely competing boats make; and that

Married Men Careful

In The opinion OF the members
OF the new state workmen's COM
pensation board, married men are
more careful workers than their
single brothers, and therefore less
liable TO accident in the course OF
their employment. Although the
indemnity for the death OF an un-
married man is but 20 per cent OF
his earnings and that for a bene-
dict ranges from 40 TO so per cent,
according TO the size Of his family.
the state will insure all against &C
cident az an identical rate, holding
the married man a sufficiently bet
ter risk to Offset the higher pay
ments.
Common sense reasoning supports
this argument. The average man
with a family dependent upon him
senses greater responsibility than
the unattached. Consciously or un-
consciously. he feels his accounta
bility 10 and for others, and II is
reflected In his work accordingly.
Not only does he know that he
must take better c1re OF himself by
keeping "ft" and avoiding those
reckless chances which the single
man may accept without thinking
