CAUSING DIVIDEND CUTS

During his fifth day on the witness
stand in the Hasemeier-Bentla trial.
Accountant schlautterbach testified to
the increase in the salaries of the
officers of the H. C. Hasemeier COM
pany, which became effective January
81, 1911. having reference to the fiscal
year. 1910 On that date, the three
members Of the corporation, H. c.,

Methods Revealed.
The testimony of the accountant
revealed, further that since the organ
ization of the company in 1904, all of
the personal accounts of the three
Hasemeier brothers, were kept in the
accounts of the company. None of
them had personal checking account
and whenever bill was paid for them
by the bookkeeper, it was placed
against them on the cash book as
money paid out Of the firm. 1t was
credited against either the dividend
or the salary accounts" of the in

How tC Look Less
Than Your Age

There are three golden rules that
every woman who would ward off
signs of advancing age. should follow:
l. Cultivate cheerfulness. Those who
understand the physiological effect of
worrying. know this advice should be
taken more seriously than it usually is
2 Whenever the complexion begins
to look worn or withered, use ordinary
mercolized wax for week or two.
Apply nightly like cold cream, erasing
it mornings with warm water. This
gradually absorbs the thin film of sur
face skin. revealing the fresher and
younger skin underneath. An ounce
of the wax, obtainable at any drug
store, is enough to rejuvenate any
complexion.
g. When the tell-tale wrinkles ap-
pear, or cheek and chin muscles begin
to sag, battle the face once a day for
awhile in solution of powdered saxo-
lite. l o.. dissolved in y pint of witch
hazel This has a remarkable effect
in "firming up" and smoothing out the
skin.-adv.
