TO-DAY'S BEAUTY
SUGGESTIONS

Face powder simply covers up an
unattractive complexion and leaves
no lasting benefits. Those who
have tried a simple spurmax face
lotion find It much better. as 1t
removes skin discolorations, such
"a freckles and tan, and makes the
skin smooth, white and velvety.
This lotion is made by dissolving
four ounces OF spurmaX in one-half
pint hot water, then adding two
teaspoonfuls glycerin. This COM
plexion beautifier does not rub off
or show like powder, and gives
more refined appearance. It re-
moves both shininess and sallow-
ness. rapidly giving the skin per-
manent healthy. youthful appear
ance.
An especially rno shampoo for
this weather can be had at trifiing
expense by dlssolving a teaspoon
full OF canthrox In cup of hot
water. Pour slowly on scalp and
massage briskly. This creates
soothing. cooling lather that dis
solves and removes all dandruhf,
excess oil and dirt. Rinsing leaves
the scalp spotlessly clean, soft and
plant. while the hair takes on n
glossy richness of natural color.

SWEET CREAM FOR GLOVER
 BIOAT

Luther, Iowa.-Concerning bloat in cows, l read with interest the discov- cry of Dr. Castle as to the effective ness of formaldeheyde and the placing of a block of wood in the mouth of the COW effected by bloat
 But why go to all that trouble :? There is no need of using formalde- heyde or of placing a block of wood in their mouths Just take a pint of sweet cream and drench them with it ana let them go. In ten or twenty minutes the bloat is all gone. This will apply equally to a COW, steer CT a horse.
 IT you are skeptica1 about this simple remedy, here is a way to try out what sweet cream will do. Some day when your wife has a nice light sponge made, just ready for making light bread, make a little indenture in it and pour in some sweet cream. = Kansas City Star

THE FOOLISH QUEST

Old Billy Bubble is hunting trouble, he's always in a sweat he wants to borrow a bunch of sorroW-an easy thing to get. If things are pleasant enough at present, he knows that griefs in store; if days are sunny, he'll bet good money that torrents soon will pour. If things are huinming, old Bill's s up-conling, with prophecies of gloom
 ''There1! be panic" he says, titanic and that will end the boom" When crops are growing, and men are crow ing OCT promise of big yields, "The hail will hit en-" says Bill, and git 'em, or cyclones sweep the fields" Old Billy tires us when he desires us to hearken to his rede, for foolish whin- ing and vain repining are not what people need. They are not spelling to go a-toiling in mines where gloom is dug; they'd rather tarry with chaps who carry the cheerful type of mug The doleful speaker the trouble seek CT, becomes a public pest; if you are searching where troubles perching forsake the foolish quest.

THE SNAIL

The snail is a sort of perambulating shell which has aroused the envy of all flat dWellers and other spasmodic movers.
 The snail carries it's home on it's back, like many an overburdened hus- band and father and is distinguished for the ease with which it moves it from place to place. Nature has, in fact been very partial to the snail. It is as independent as the family which roams the country in a covered wagon. living on other peoples chick ems. If man could pick up and move with as little exertion as the snail, landlords would have to use motor cycles to collect their rent.
 The snail is also distinguished for the inconceivable deliberation with which it progresses. The war de- partment is rapid beside it. After a snail has risen early and has jour neyed hard all day, it is sti1l in the shade of the same apple tree Still the snail has this advantage over the American battleship. It doesn't have to get anywhere. Our naval design CTS did not think of this fact when they reproduced the locomotive equip ment of the snail in those magnifi- cent $11, 900, 900 bulwarks of American liberty, which are just fast enough to serve as a landmark for a Euro pean battle cruiser.
 The snairs shell is a beautifully coiled structure into which he retires when a stranger approaches, like an old resident of Boston. When no dan ger threatens he emerges, and trans fers his residence to the adjoining square yard, finding his way by means of two eyes set on the end of long horns. This shows the Wastefulness of nature. The snail lives in the woods and fields while hundreds of human beings are run down by au- tomOhiles each year because they can not wave their eyes about their heads while crossing the seething streets of our native land
 The snail is known to scientists as a gasteropodus mollusk, but is called even more reprehensible names by the gardeners. This is because the snail is like any other tramp It lives on other peoples gardens. It will not be beloved by man until some means are found for making it obey traffic rules when travelling and stick to the street instead of wandering through the leaves of the tender young gar den sass.

Where the People
 May Have Hearing
THE RECORDERS OFFICE

To the Editor of the Arizona Repub- lican.
 Sir: I noticed that in moraliZing upon the recent Henry crash that your usually painstaking and accurate jour nal, in a sub- editorial, in your issue of August 20, 1915, has fallen into an error when it states that the office of your county recorder is supported by the taxpayer. Unless your recorder s office is grossly mismanaged, and we must assume that it is not nothing could be further from the truth than to assert that the tax payers support that or any recorders office in the state of Arizona. The fee charged for filing and recording instruments in the recorders office in this state are grossly exoI bitant. Those fees are a relic of the barbarous fee system and the days when public offices in the territory of Arizona were a pri- vate snap, and all the county offices throughout the various counties of the territory pooled together and main tained lobby at the territorial capital to obtain legislation to raise and maintain at a high figure the fees to be charged a suffering public. This fee system had become such a public scandal and eyesore that it was deemed wise and necessary to- as the people fondly imagined, be forever ended by a constitutional provision. The only effect that the anti-fee con- stitutional provision has had is to prevent the officeholder putting the exorbitant fees in h1s pocket while the public has to pay them into the coffers of the state or counties as the case may be.
 The same instrument that can be filed and recorded in Imperial coun- ty, California, for the sum of so cents will cost $1.75 in Yuma county, Arizona, and yet California has not entirely abolished the fee system, as we pretend to think that we have.
 I believe that your paper has here tofore stated that it would have cost something like $2.55, to record one of the Henry contracts of sale. If Hen ry had been an honest man and con- templated doing the right thing, his advice to his purchasers not to re- cord the contract of sale would have been well meant and sound advice; for it is to be assumed that pur- chasers of lots upon the installment plan could not well afford to pay the
 
 tract of sale. Under a rational fee system, such an instrument being but a temporary and quasi incumbrance on the property, should be recorded in the same manner as a chattel mortgage, an abstract of it's contents placed upon a line or two in prop CT book, and the instrument instantly returned to the purchaser, all for the nominal sum of 25 cents-notwith- standing the holy horror that will be depicted upon the fact of any county recorder who may happen to read this communication.
 I say that is what could be done under a rational system of recording and a rational fee system; but the people of Arizona need not look for the establishment of such a rational system in the immediate future. for, while the public official is no longer directly interested in the fees being maintained at a high rate for the purpose of lining his own pocket, he is interested in having those fees maintained at the same old rate so
