How to Wash Your Face.

One of the methods of acquiring a
clear, white complexion is so simple
that it is almost amusing. 1t is mere
ly to wash the face properly. This
should be as regularly a part of the
toilet at night as brushing the teeth.
The procedure is in this wise: With
hot water and pure white soap thor
oughly cover the face with lather, US
ing a good complexion brush. The
latter is better than a washcloth be-
cause it scrubs" better and acts as
a good stimulant to the blood vessels
Of the face. One need not be afraid
of this thorough scrubbing, for long
hours of rest in bed prevent any harm

SOME NOTES IN SEASON

Prune Towering shrubs as soon as
they have finished Towering. The Sc
cret of pruning shrubbery, in a nut
shell, is to study the habit of growth
of each plant, and to strive to encour-
age it; not alter it to your views.
Make a note of the yellow spots on
the lawn. If the grass is scanty, the
trouble is probably sand or poor soil.
The best cure is to dig out the place,
and put in some good loan.
Then resod the place. If the grass
is there, but dead, the trouble is lack
of moisture.
If the grass on the lawn is growing
fast, two mOWingS q week, allowing
the clippings to lie where they fall, is
easier than one moving in ten days
CT two weeks, followed. by a raking to
remove the cut grass.
Gravel roads and walks that refuse
to get solid can be greatly improved
by the judicious use of clay. Pulver-
ize the latter, and sprinkle evenly.
Too much clay will make a sticky road
il wet weather, which is far worse
than a soft gravel road.
To insure thick privet hedge, cut
back three inches every time the
plants make six inches of growth.
Evergreens from the nursery can be
safely transplanted by the end of July.
1t is important to keep the roots moist,
with as much soil adhering as DOS
Sible.
Always keep on the lookout for pos
sible notwithstanding places, rain
barrels upturned cans, low places in

YELLOW TONE HERE
TENDENCY TOWARD THAT COLOR
is MARKED.
Suggestion Comes From France and
Seemingly Is to Be Taken Up on
This Side of the Water-Af-
ternoon Frocks.

The tendency toward ocher and
champagne colorings is strengthened,
rather than weakened, by the advance
of midsummer. France suggests Au-
gust gowns in these tones in char
meuse, chiffon and embroidered net for
all hours, from MONDAY to midnight.
One of the attractive gowns designed
for Newport, is Of ocher-colored chif-
fon cloth and taffeta, to be worn in the
afternoon with an immense sailor hat
Of ocher-colored straw.
In this frock, the full skirt is laid
into the waistline in plaits. that are SO
limp that they would entirely reveal
the outline of the figure, if it were not
for the long, sleeveless redingote worn

get in this line are pillow slips. dress
er scarfs, bureau scarfs, laundry bags
sewing bags, and bags for stockings.
Most attractive containers covered
with brocade and touched up with gilt
braid can be had for the bureau
There are odd-shaped powder boxes
hair receivers and quaint candlesticks.
A practical little novelty is 5rocade-
covered hairpin box which has pin
cushion top. Delicate bud vases are
Glso covered with the Powered ma
terial.

Dictates of Fashion.

/ There are many gracefully foppy
hats worn this summer.
Ribbon lacing is great feature on
gardening smocks.
Some afternoon frocE has all the
appearance of a coat.
Organdy is in high favor for dresses
with faring skirts.
Fashion brings US the pointed bod
ice, but it is not boned, as the bodice
of old.
A big Italian straw hat, trimmed
with a fringed scarf, is pretty thing
for country wear.

WATCH FOR INSECTS

When ants appear upon plant, ex-
anime it carefully, for you may find
it affected with q louise scale or other
insects.
If infested, sponge the leaves clean
with hot tobacco tea, to which has
been added enough soap to make suds.
TO get rid of the ants place a layer
of chopped tobacco stems around the
plant, and sprinkle with bOraX.

THE NEW GOVERNOR

BY the Overwhelming voice of the
people of Georgia, Hugh NJ Dorsey
of Atlanta was nominated for gov
ernor in the primary which in this
state is equivalent to an election
The regular election in November is
mere formality.
The campaign has been a bitter
one. but the result was a decided
victory for the masses of the peo-
pie of Georgia, and after all the
jugdment of the plain people is
nearly always correct.
His election was not the result of
passion and prejudice as has been
alleged by Dorsey's bitterest oppon-
ents, but was the result of a calm
but forceful determination on the
part of large majority of the peo-
pie that the laws of this state be
enforced. The chief plank in Dor
sey's platform was the upholding of
the verdicts of juries in criminal
cases, and in this the people have
agreed with him.
Now to go beyond the main issue
there are many others that are
worthy of attention. Some people
may have been led to believe from
attacks of Dorsey's political oppon-
ents that he was a wild-eyed anar-
chist uneducated and uncouth, de-
termined to lead the people along
the paths Of passion and prejudice.
AS a matter of fact Mr.. Dorsey is
an educated gentleman, a first class
lawyer, an able, powerful and astute
practitioner. He is no more to be
compared to Cole l.. Blease Of South
Carolina that a high church digni-
tary is to a ward politician Mr.
Dorsey can be relied on to give all
the necessary dignity to the office
of governor. He is well read, well
Informed and finely balanced 1t
need not be feared in any quarter
that Mr. Dorsey will be controlled
by inflammatory politicians, or that
he will be influenced by ultra ex-
tremists. Those who know him well
know him to be too firm character
for that
The Tribune-Herald thoroughly
believes that when Mr. Dorsey be-
comes governor of Georgia, he will
do so with a full knowledge of the
Importance, dignity and seriousness
of the position, that he will give
to the state an administration freed
from all sinister influences and that
he will devote his time, energies
and abilities to the well being and
prosperity of the state.
Mr.. Dorsey is an honest and
thoroughly capable man and we

WASHINGTON LETTER

Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia,
is TO take a prominent part in the
campaign for the reelection of
President woodrow Wilson He is
recognized everywhere and by all
political parties as one of Demo
cracy's greatest forces, and his par
ticipation in the present great nat
ional campaign will attract wide
spread attention. Hoke Smith new
er fails to impress an audience nor
to enlist the rapt attention of in
telligent hearers. He deals in ar
guments instead of generalties; in
facts rather than metaphors; readily
and easily convincing all Of his sin
cerity | understand that the Senior
Senator Of Georgia has been person
ally requested by the President to
give the month of October to discus
sions of the issues involved in the
present campaign upon the hustings
in the eastern and western states.
Senator Smith is a progressive Dem
ocrat, and steadfastly and enthus-
iastically believes in giving humane
legislation the right of way over the
dollar. His contributions as a pub
lie speaker will be worth much to
the country and democracy in the
oratorical contest that is now being
waged in behalf of continued demo-
cratic supremacy.

sound sense regarding the racial ell
ements in the modern American and
regarding England's attitude toward
u.s.
''As for America, ] am sorry to
confess that whenever the average
Englishman talks about America, his
viewpoint becomes tainted by the
same sort of German folly that
makes Germans talk OF us and them
selves as one big family. We arc
likely to think Of America as Anglo
Saxon, one Of ourselves, chip of the
old block, ono blood and such like
nonsense. Ii Is true. Of course, that
America and England do speak the
same language almost, but when it
comes TO race thcro must be yerit-
able cataracts Of blood running
through American lcins by now that
can't by any stretch Of imagination
be called Anglo-SaXon. I'm afraid
many Of us in England will never
rightly understand America until we
begin by regarding her as great
nation entirely ASSOCIATED from
ourselves. Let us regard America as
we might any other great nation
speaking English and Wen under
stand her better It is very idiotic
to adopt any maternal attitude to-
ward tho United States We make
much of zone blood, one tongue"
and other accidental incidents when
ever American policy dictates a
course OF action that appears favor
able to the English mind. When, on
the other hand, America, in pursuit
Of her own individual nationalsm,
commits some act we don't agree
With, or does not commit some act
we think she should have, we play
the role of maternal scold Too
many Englishmen regard America as
being in some mysterious way still
bound up with ourselves by ties
other than national friendship"
Let our Anglomen who are always
talking OF ''Anglo-SaXon blood" pom
der over what Mr.. Chcstcrton says.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE WAR
POWER.


When the war broke out there
was general outcry from people Of
democratic sympathies against secret
diplomacy We heard on every side
that this frightful catastrophe could
never have come to pass had the ma
tions dealt with one another above
board, that had the people been kept
informed peace would certainly have
been maintained. There is much to
be said for this belief, which is BY
no means q new one. Tho founders
Of this republic held it, and they
sought to guard against wanton war
by placing the decision as to war and
peace in the hands of Congress. Un-
happily they did not forosee the on
ormous increase Of power OF the
executive due TO the control Of the
patronage in an immense country.
CONSEQUENTLY, they failed to provide
sufficient safeguards against eXecu-
tive aggressions on the domain Of
Congress- SO today we see a presi-
dent attempting TO take from Con-
gress tho power to declare war and
make it his own We even find his
followers shrieking that Congress,
the direct representation Of the
people. is interfering with the law
which places the control OF foreign
affairs in the presidents hands.
Congress, in whose hands the
Constitution places the power to de-
clare war, Is denied the information
on which to act intelligently Whom
individual members press for infor-
nation, they arc denounced to the
public as willful Instructors Of the
President The patronage club is
used to silence them, or to raise up
rivals in their districts So one man,
accidentally President, attempts to
overrule the considered opinion Of
the majority of the representatives,
OF the people, formally elected, and
to take upon himself the power and
the dread responsibility to declare
war II is hard to believe that any
human being in his senses could
wish to undertake such responsible
ity. 1t is hard to believe that any
normal-minded man would not
shrink from it were it thrust upon
him, yet we see a man grasping for
this power and responsibility eager
~, and apparently anxious to exer-
else the power should he succeed in
obtaining it.
We are, II Is limited, to enter upon
the battlcfields Of Europe to fight for
our honor and for democracy. Our
honor is concerned with keeping i'm
tact the ideals OF democracy Be
fore we go abroad to shed blood, lot
us win in the bloodless battle at
homo against autocracy Let us
mako popular rule safe and success
full in the United States. Then Will
our example be more powerful than
our arms in spreading democracy
abroad.
