night in a mass of court plaster sold
in Los Angeles recently by a one
armed German peddler, who is sus-

ease and death throughout the city.
This startling report was made at the

plaster furnished by the head of an
establishment where the peddler sold
much Of his stock.
DR.. Samuel Levin, director of the
laboratories, today innocula:ed sev'

the plaster. Several days must
elapse before he can determine the
results.
Police and federal agents, in search

his decription. Reports of the sale

Viewed from the progress of pon.

Japan, in her absolute position in the
world, cannot be called first class

not the least doubt as to the future
progress and development Of the JAP

emigrants has an important bearing
upon the nation and state they belong
to. Hence 1t is matter of great I'm

emigrants and to take measures to
elevate their character and make
them awake to the conception that
they are the subjects of Japan and in

Engagement of Miss Catherine
Jones is Announced on Her ]
Mothers Return Home !

Returning to Honolulu on the vii.
helmina this morning after q short
trip to the mainland. Mrs. Edwin A.
Jones announced the engagement OF
her youngest daughter, Miss Gather.
inc H. Jones, to Russell L. Richards.
The couple may be married about
Christmas time.
The engagement is the climax Of Q
picturesque romance which found its
setting on the beach at Waikiki, at
a long series Of beautiful parties, and
in the home of one OF the oldest and
widest known residents OF the terri.
tory-Mrs. Ino S. Fuller.
Dick" Richards came to Honolulu
last July from the University of Mis-.
souri, where he had just completed
a course in journalism, to take q po-
sition in the advertising department
of the Star-Bulletin. On the ship
coming down he met Miss Jones, who
was returning home from Smith COLI
lege for the summer vacation. s,
The first friendship formed on the
boat became closer as the couple were
feted throughout the summer. But
in August Mr. Richards received word
that his number had been drawn in
the draft-that he would have to re-
turn to enter the service Of the gov
eminent. He had one alternative,
which was to enter the navy in Which
he had already passed an examina-
ton for q commission. >-
This he decided to do and left Homo
lulu during the latter part OF last
month. At that time Mrs. Jones re-
ceived an urgent call from relatives
on the mainland and decided to leave
on the same boat. Then her daugh-
ter decided that she, too. would leave
then in order to return to college.
Arriving in San Francisco the en-
gagement was announced. The party
left shortly afterwards for the East
where Miss Jones will reenter Smith
college and Mr.. Richards will become
an assistant paymaster in the United
States navy. l.

Lmproui7g The Nose

IMPROVING THE SHAPE Of the nose is
not beyond the skill Of anyone will
ing to perseVere. 1t is we'll to take
this little feature bit more serious
~ than we are generally inclined.
The perfect nose Is a rarity. Maybe
that is the reason we are apt to pass
over the fact, and make the best Of
our bad bargains.
Not many Of US would care to risk
our whole faces FOR a chance at q
surgically.perfect nose. and a few Of
US could not afford it, II we were sure
Of turning out a modern Venus; so
We will study the little offending
member and get to work on it. There
is no need to torture ourselves either,
as 10 accused Amy in Little Wom-
en-" Of doing; and instead Of sleeping
all night with the tip of the nose in
a clothes pin to mould 1t into aristo-
cratic lines the same thing may be
accomplished by persistently model
ing it between the thumb and fore
finger.
For example, take the nose that
has wide nostrils and the whole
feature somewhat fattened in form;
the shaping process will come by a
light pinching motion, with the
thumb and forefnger, starting at the
bridge Of the nose and working to
the tip. Practise this for few min
utes at q time. II the nose is in
clined to widen at the nostrils, let
the pinching motion be a pulling one,
also, as you reach the tip of the nose;
but be careful to pull outwards, and
not down.
II you have acquired blackheads,
scrub the nose with hot water and
soap; and then rub in some cold
cream. II, after you have gotten rid
Of them, you find that you have
coarse pores, which spoil the surface
of the skin, battle with any good as
tringent, night and morning. A few
drops of benzoin in a half pint Of
water is all that Is needed.
