CLEANSING CREAMS

I THERE are few women who can gel
along without using some sort Of
cold cream I am not particularly
in favor Of cosmetics-at least. not
when exercise and common sense
methods Of living are SO much more
desirable as a means TO beauty. But
cold cream consider as necessary as
soap, and in some cases even more
necessary.
II you have a dry skin you win need
cold cream containing a certain
amount OF vegetable oil. since this is
readily absorbed; but II you have a
normal skin and no wrinkles to bother
about, you can get along just as well
with mineral oil cream which sim
ply cleanses-
An excellent formula for such a
cream is as follows:
White wax .----.-..1 ounce
SpermacetI ....-1 ounce
White mineral oil -...5 ounces
Rose water -..--11z ounces
Powdered borax 80 grains
Perfumed oil ....15 drops
Melt the wax, spefmacetti and oil
over a slow fire. When all are melted
together, remove from the heat, add
the boraE and slowly pour IN the rose
water, which has been slightly
warmed. Stir and beat until the
liquid begins to CONCEAL, then pour off
into jars.
A little Of this can be rubbed into
the face before II is washed in order
TO avoid chapping from the winter
winds. After a train ride or a long
journey in the car or carriage a little
Of this cream should be rubbed in be-
fore any water touches the face. Il
can be used as a general cleanser and
even rubbed into the skin before eL-
posure TO cold winds. It Is nothing
but cleansing agent It will not grow
hair; all It does is to get out dirt
from the pores where even soap and
water viii not reach.

WAY IS CREASED FOR
SOLDIER RELIEF BILL;
PROVIDES new TAXES

WASHINGTON, May 21.-With SOL
dier relief legislation facing it's last
obstacle before consideration by the
house, Chairman Fordney of the ways
and means committee today planned
to obtain legislative preference
through the rules committee for con-
sideration of the bill reported yester-
day after lengthy committee wrangle.
Approval by the rules committee
would permit consideration of the bill
tomorrow under provisions limiting
debate to four hours and only one
amendment, a motion to adopt sub
stitute or compromise plan, Republi-
can leaders said, would be in order.
The final bill carries provision for
10 per cent stock dividend tax retro
active to March Is, which was in
serted after approval by the Republi-
can caucus this week. Besides the
stock dividend tax, the provisions in.
clude increased taxes on tobacco and
incomes, real estate sales and stock
and grain transactions in futures.
The five taxing proposals are ex.
pected to net s30.000,000 annually
and would continue for three years
under the bill. Revenues thus pro.
duced would be used to pay adjusted
compensation to former service men.
or aid them in obtaining homes.
farms, vocational training or paid-up
insurance.

PRICE CUTTING

Movement Extended to Man
Higher Up, by New York
Merchants s-Excites Inter-
est and Hope in England.
CARAVAN CLAIMS CREDIT
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, May 21-The price
cutting movement here today reached
some wholesalers, when managers and
buyers of prominent department stores
announced their establishments would
refuse to purchase from jobbers until
substantial reductions were made.
The department stores which claim
to offer reductions from Is to so per
cent. now demand that wholesalers
make concessions TO them.
An official of one of the largest'de-
rartment stores with branches in six
future cities said: 1--WE are not buying
future stock and will not until manu-
facturers and wholesalers come down
with their prices. Normally we buy
S150,000 of furs on ollr initial purchase.
So far we have refused to purchase a
single piece"
Similar statements were made by Of
ficials Of other stores.
Some representative wholesalers of
wearing apparel declared they believed
the price cutting movement throughout
the country to be artificial and uneco-
nomic, asserting that it has stimulated
buying without sponding in
crease in production and reaction
was bound to come.
WASHINGTON, May 21-The wave
Of price reductions in wearing apparel
which has spread to every important
city is due largely to capital withdrawn
from the market and to the investiga
tion conducted by the Department of
Justice, in the opinion of Assistant At.
torney General Garvan.
While he said he did not believe the
department deserved too much of the
credit, Mr.. Garvan refused to endorse
claims of merchants that they were
actuated solely by patriotic motives
That stuff if purest boncombe," Mr.
Garvan said. There are three things
responsible for this clamor of mer

falling prices: the market has broken

to east and of 10000 box cars from
the east to the grain fields of the
west.
These moves were expected to show
material results within 10 days men,

expected that a much longer period
would be required Ito get the entire
tangle Strengthened OUT

Every effort will be made. however
to clear away the accumulated
freight as expeditiously as possible. in
order that the approaching harvest
