TODAY'S BEAUTY HINTS

To whiten and beautify the COM
plexion permanently we have found
no better preparation than a lotion
made by dissolving four ounces OF
spurmax in half pint OF hot water,
then adding two teaspoonfuls glycer-
in. This removes 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. it seems a
part of the skin; and for removing
tan and freckles is uncqualed
1t is necessary to shampoo more
frequently in the warmer weather be-
cause of excessive dust and the fact
that the head perspires more and is
usually more exposed to the weather.
The easiest to use and quickest dry
ing shampoo that we can recommend
to our readers can be prepared very
cheaply by dissolving a teaspoonful
of canthrox, obtained from your drug
gist. in a cup Of hot water. This
rubbed into the scalp creates a thick
lather, soothing and cooling in its
action, as well as very beneficial to
scalp and hair. After rinsing, the
scalp is fresh and clean, while the
hair dries quickly and evenly, devel-
oping a bright luster and a soft fiuf-
hness that makes it seem very heavy.

September 16-Anna Kinssford

Anna kingsford, who was born in Eng
land. September is, 1876, was one of the
most successful of English women ply
sicians of the last century as we'll as a
writer on religious subjects Of no small
renown. She was a member of the es-
tablished Church of England and married
young clergyman when she was q, but
three years later she Joined the Roman
Catholic Church. being a convert of Car
dinal Manning, himself convert. She
thereupon took the name Of Annie Mary
Magdalen Maria Johanna. Not long after
this she purchased the "Lady's Own Pa
per-" of which she became the sole edi-
tor. conducting in its pages a crusade
against vivisection.
In 1874 she went to Paris determined
to become physician. and studied med
icine in the famous schools and hospitals
Of the French capital Mrs. Kingsford's s
next object of interest was vegetarianism
and the book, THE Perfect Way in
Diet" which had wide circulation. was
the result of this fad. Having received
her degree in Paris, Mrs. Kingsford es-
tablished herself as a physician in Lon
don, where she soon built up flourish
ing practice. gaining great success with
women patients. Her neX interest was
theosophy. and soon aftef she founded
the Hermetic Society in her effort to rec
oncile the truths of Eastern religions
with those of Christianity. Her death
was due to a cold, contracted on her way

a severe storm. Mrs. Kingsford was an
unusually brilliant conversationalist and
was noted for her exquisite beauty. She
was one of the pioneers in the movement
in England for higher education for
women.

CHANCE FOR DISAGREEMENT.

What Mrs. Belmont said in Sar
Francisco Tuesday about the future
of women's political party organiza
ton has started no small amount oi
discussion.
LET us plead with you to form nc
alliance with any existing mans po'
litical party" she said in her speech
to the delegates of the Women Vot
crs' Convention. "For twenty CEN
turies, remember, you have been led
to believe your work was to patch VI
the evils germinated by mans so
called civilization"
On the one side OF the argument is
the feeling that political parties as
they are ay-"man-made" politica,
parties-are not all that one might de-
sire; the feeling that if an opportu-
nifty comes for the new organization ot
any body of voters every opportunity
ought to be taken to keep it free from
the evils that have crept into the old
order of things.
Then, on the other hand, there is
the conviction on the part of many
of the most able suffrage enthusiasts
that the best results in politics will
be obtained when women work side
by side with men. And it wouldn't
be hard to dig up facts to show that
where women's influence in politics
has been most beneficial there has
been cooperation of men and women.
Isn't Mrs. Belmont rather stretch
ing her optimism when she assumes
that women's political organizations
would be freer from fault than those
of men,
Wasn't Thoreau right when he
said: "The kitchen should be a
frank and friendly part of the house,
Even when you yourself do not have
to spend more than few moments a
day in that kitchen, don't you like to
have a place that has individuality
that is, as Thorcau puts it, "a friend
ly part of the house,"
When the kitchen of our grand
mothers and great-grandmothers,
with its open hearth and blazing logs,
its spit and crane, passed out of ex-
istence much of its picturesqueness
went with it. New ideas about kitch-
en- sanitation. and new labor-sav-
ing devices seemed to take the color
out of the one-time colorful kitchen.
But just lately we arc finding that
the truly up-to-date, perfectly sani-
tary kitchen can still be friendly"
There can be flowers growing in the
sunshiny window in winter and
vase of flowers or foliage in the sum-
mer. The curtains at the window can
be OF attractive design and always
spotlesslv clean. Rows of shining
kitchen utensils are as attractive now
as they were in the days of our
prandmothers.

Why is 1t that nowadays when one is
about to become a buyer of anything, nc
matter what, he almost instantly finds
himself regarding the salesman with sus.
picion? An uncomfortable feeling that
the person who plans to take his money
in exchange for an article has concealed
in his sleeve a stiletto pcrvades him, and.

I had occasion both to buy a pair OF
socks and to try out my theory yester-
day. In a shop near the office, l held
conversation with a blandiloquent sales
man anent the wearing qualities of Isle

most persuasive sort of gentleman, and
1t was easy for me to disabuse my mind
of any knife up his sleeve. I met his

thought, to harbor even the suggestion of
a suspicion regarding those who offer
articles for sale, or of the articles them
selves. Too long have we. in this modern
day, been careless creatures. who. with
out any reason, have imputed chicanery
to those who have done us the favor of
taking our money for the things where
withal we clothe our backs and solace
our stomachs.
And then came the brilliant idea. Why
not start a propaganda in favor of con-
fidence in the people who sell things to
US? Why not interest the newspapers in
campaign along this line? Surely the

selling things, whether they be clothes

THE ONE.RECIPE IDEA.

| II you will LOOK carefully over all your
collection Of recipes. you will find that in
each class of foods there are a few basic
require a cream or white sauce
foundation. and a havoring. usually in
the form of a vegetable puree. Break
fast mullins are made up of liquid, flour,
leaveninS agent and something for
iflavor-sugar. eggs. salt or butter. There
are certain proportions between liquids
! and flour in the various sorts of batters
/ used in fritters, griGdle cakes. cake. muf-
fins and waffies. And knowing these. it
1t possible to vary the unessential in
| gradients at will. Blanc mango, gelatine
desserts. custards-all are made with a
fundamental relation between the differ
ent ingredients used at the bottom of
your particular recipe.
So if you work out the basic recipe for
all the different foods that you are in
! the habit of cooking. you can really SIM
plify your recipes and make the work Of
cooking easier.
A thin batter. from which fritters, grid
die cakes. waffles and some other things
are made. contains equal parts Of flour
and liquid.
A thick batter. from which cakes and
muffins are made. contains two parts of
flour to one Of liquid.
For both. a level teaspoonful Of baking
powder is used for each half cupful of
-four. and an eighth of a teaspoonful Of
salt.
Cake. Of course. has more sugar than
mullins, and any number of eggs may be
added. For mullins cornmeal. graham
flour or any other flour can be substi-
tuted in whole or in part for the white
fiour-and there you have a tremendous
variety in mullins and cakes at your fin-
ger ends.
Now. suppose you have particularly
satisfactory cake recipe. BY adding Gin
namon. ground cloves and little allspice.
you have spice cake. By adding half
cupful each of raisins and currants you
have a raisin cake. By adding chopped
nuts. you have a nut cake. and by add
ing third of a cupful Of cocoa you have
a chocolate cake.
With baked custard it is the same.
