HotO TO Wash fhe Face

First OF ali-lift the muscles as
you wash the face That IS, wash
with all motions going upwards In
stead of downwards. Use very warm
water and mild soap. and always
rinse In water as warm as the first
you used; and in clear water-other-
wise. soap will stay in the sktn-and
then end by cold rinse. This does
not take any more time than the
slip-shod method.
Some women soap the washcloth

time to plan the garden is early. long
before the ground is ready for seeds.

SHY IN SELECTING
PROHIBITION AGENT
No Easy Job to Find a Man to
Do the Work Required.

Republican State leaders are much
disturbed In mind over the job OF pick
ing a Federal prohibition officer for
New York State. They have received
intimatons that the present Democratic
management of the office will not last
any longer after March A than 1t takes
to find the proper sort of successor to
the present Democratic agent. Also they
have been told that it is up to them to
find the man for the Federal authori-
ties to appoint. and that the State or
ganizaton must be responsible for him.
The incumbent is Charles r. OConnor.
The leaders realize that a man to be
successful must be neither a fanatical
prohibitionist nor a sympathizer with
the vets, that he must possess the will
ingness and ability to enforce the law
with Judgment in way that will please
the exponents Of law and order but will
not be offensive. Above all, he must be
a man whose character Is above re-
proach, into whose administration not
the slightest hint of scandal can creep.
A hunt Is being made for such a man,
but II is betraying no confidence to say
he has not yet been found 1t is going
to be no easy job to locate one willing
to serve in an unpleasant job for only
$4,000 year. for that is all Uncle Sam
pays.
There is one active candidate for the
job in Manhattan, but the leaders feel
it would be better to get a man with
upstate traditions for this particular
job. So far no upstate candidates have
appeared.
There Is one thing We can do, in any
case" said one of the leaders last night
1--WE can do away with the collusion be-
tween the enforcement office and the
bootleggers And 1t won't be long be-
fore we will have all the State peace Of
ficers and State courts to work with
There will be quick action on violations
AS 1t is cases pile up In the Federal
courts
1t has been suggested indirectly that
the New York State organization might
secure as part of its Federal patronage
the head of the prohibition enforcement
forces in the country, but they will have
none of it. They are going to take no
chances of unpopularity or worse
through the acts Of an official who at
best is bound to have his troubles.

GRAIN

CHICAGO, Feb. 16-Wheat underwent
result of persistent profit taking on the
part of holders. Closing quotations were
heavy, 364Ac. net lower. with March
at 71@1.71A. and May at s1.e1 u a
1872; corn lost 1N a d1%c.; oats. 1Q
1Isc.. and provisions. 12@15c.
Throughout the day. with one notable
exception. the selling side OF the wheat
market had by far the greater number
of adherents. The exception was during
a brief period shortly after the opening
and was due to a despatch from
widely known expert saying that the
country around Paris, Texas, was alive
with green bugs The general tenor of
crop reports from the winter wheat belt
as a whole appeared, however. to indi-
cate that actual damage was small, and
IL was contended that. although the pre-
vailing abnormal mild weather justified
apprehension. really disastrous amount
of injury from the green bug pest had
seldom taken place. Many OF to-day 8
sellers based their action on knowledge
that no radical harm has been done by
the green bugs since 1907 The loss In
that year through green bugs was
roughly 62.000o0O bushels Of wheat and
100000, 900 bushels of oats.
Gown and oats sympathized with the
weakness OF wheat, but displayed nota-
bic power OF resistance, owing more or
less to export sales of 500. 900 bushels
of corn.
Provisions were depressed by down
turns in the values Of hogs and grain.

U. S. STEEL CREDITS

Up to $20,00O,00O.

The United States Steel Corporation Is
doing considerable export business
with companies in Europe and with
Canada. Mexico. China, Japan, South
America and Africa. Some of that
business is being done on a cash basis.
In other instances the corporation Is ex-
tending credits to purchasers A reso-
luton passed by the corporations di-
rectors permits II to extend credits to
Foreign purchasers up TO $4,000. 900.
Judge e. "a. Gary. chairman of the cor
poration, made public these facts yester-
DAY IN connection with a statement on
The need for extension of credit to for
eiSl countries to enable them to make
needed purchases here.
1t seems TO me-" he said, that pri-
vate enterprise can and should assist
Foreigners to make purchases here by
extending suitable credits to them" In
some instances, the Judge said the steel
corporation took notes from its foreign
creditors. In others the account was
allowed to stand open. depending en-
tlrely upon who might be the purchaser.
with respect to the recent cuts in
steel prices by Independents, the Judge
declared that he did not believe that
they had resulted in any material in
crease of sales. "On the contrary" he
asserted, II think they have been the
means of decreasing the grand total Of
sales. or course a manufacturer may
sell a small quantity of goods by making
substantial cuts, bat he will find by the
end OF the year that he has not gained
anything by it,"
