To the People of San
Antonio:

We had hoped that this would be high
class campaign, ard that municipal issues for
the improvement of the city, only, would be dis
cussed; instead of this, opponents have be-
gun to throw mud and slime, claiming them
selves to be the only pure, vrtuous people in
town.
Flood prevention, auditorium building and
other important municipal projects have been
waived aside by them and they proclaim from
every platform that San Antonio is too filthy
place for decent people to live in. If this be so,
and they only the decent people here, why
do they stay?
They are charging that it is unsafe for
lady to walk down Houston street, and Mayor
Black himself, in speech last night, called our
good old city "Tamaletown" San Antonio is
good any other city in the civilized world;
think it is better than any other. at is dirty
bird that befouls its own nest"
The issue in this campaign is the extrava-
gance, pitiful inefficiency and horrible mis-man-
agement of o. B. Blacks administration. Do
you want two years more of it? If so, vote the
Stoner ticket.
Stoner says that Black Is the best mayor
San Antonio had Black is managing and
debating the policy of the Stomer ticket. Taxes
raised to the utmost limit extravaganza run
Wild the city's revenues pawned to get little
pittance to keep the administration going-these
are the wonderful achievements of the Black
administration, and will be continued if the
Stoner ticket is elected.
- "You pay your money and you take your
choice"
If you want Black over again for two years,
vote the Stoner ticket.
If you want to get back to conditions
and do something for the City of San Antonio
and take its control away from inexperienced
people, VOTE THE TOBIN TICKET.

disappeared quickly into the

We waited until the crushing of

~ OES your skin itch after
taking a bath?
~ Is this particularly true
after a surf bath?
A bath ought to leave your skin
soft and velvety and with q sense
Of freshness and vigor.
Any other feeling il abnormal
and should set you looking for
the cause.
In the first place the object Of
q bath is to remove accumulated
dirt, chiefly dust. together with
the excess of your own oily score
tions from the surface Of your
body.
The next object Of a bath is to
stimulate or otherwise to influ-
ence the circulation of the blood.
In carrying out the first OF
these purposes we ordinarily use
warm water to soften the dirt, and
soap to dissolve the oily secretion
on the skin.
In carrying out the second pur-
pose we use water at various
temperatures to influence first the
nervous system and next the cir.
culation-cold to stimulate and
warmth to quiet them.
If we use soap that is too
strong or use too much Of it or
for too long a time, we remove not
merely the excess OF oily secretion
from the surface, but all of 1t.
When we do that we remove one
Of the most valuable protectives Of
the body, the protective largely il
not chiefly concerned in prevent
ing the excessive radiation Of the
heat generated by our food.
If the soap or other alkali EN-.
ployed is too strong it dissolves
not only the fat but the little
scales, called epithelium, that COM
prise the outer protective layer OF
the skin, as often shown in the
hands of housemaids who uncau-
tiously work in strong lyes with
out using gloves.
When these outer cells. are de.
stroyed the underlying tips OF the
nerves are left exposed, a condi-
ton that causes itching or burn
ing or actual pain.
Certain people are so consti-
tuted that this outer layer Of the
skin is very thin, so thin indeed
as to give comparatively less
than the average protection to
the underlying tips Of the nerves.
These people are easily and
habitually made to itch by bath
ing in almost any kind of water,
but especially in sea water, the
salt and other substances in
which are more or less irritating.
But there are many persons in
whom this itching experience is
not habitual but casual and in
cidental.
This points to some transient
irritation existing within the lit

dinner table with as much care
and beauty as If she were enter
tanning a large group of people
instead of merely having me to
dine with her. I found in this
a little symbol Of the daintiness
and consideration which are such
marked characteristics Of her.
All through dinner Irma played
hostess. She devoted herself to
seeing that I had everything Just
as I like it.
But directly we laid down our
napkins and arose to leave the
dining room could see a t-ansi-
tion taking place in her manner.
Would you mind coming to
my little sitting room?" she
asked. "Of course, II you like

my little room might seem more

Irma's delight was evident. She
led the way to her little den,
which was a dainty affair, but
nothing like the frflly, chintz-
hung places most girls affect.
1rma's den was furnished in fine
old mahogany, with colonial rag
rugs on the floor, brass candle
sticks and all the clean simplicity
I've come to associate with her.

Perhaps this was a trifle, bur it

Tom.

for those having light househeep-

so situated that their best and
only attempt at home-making Is
the brewing Of a refreshing cup
of tea will find these culinary and
artistic efforts helpful.
The procedure is simple IL plan.
ned in one, two, three manFer.
First you take a good plain cake
recipe and use good eggs, good
butter and real sugar to get the
true homemade flavor. A recipe
with two eggs, third Of q cup
Of butter, three-fourths of q cup
Of sugar, a half cup Of milk, =
cup and a half Of flour, two tea
spoons Of baking powder, salt
and vanilla is all right for the
purpose.
Next you mix carefully, cream
ing the butter and sugar first,
adding the beaten egg yolks and
then the sifted dry ingredients
alternately with the milk. Beat
well and fold in the egg whites.
Now for holiday cakes you want
to bake this recipe in a pan shall
low enough to make the cake only
about an inch or an inch and a
half high when finished. To make
sure that it bakes evenly you
bring the mixture back from the
center toward the corners OF the
pan with a spoon.
When the cake is done turn T.
out on a board and when cool cut
in round, square, star, diamond or
any other shapes desired and de-
pend on the icing to do the rest.
If you wish to vary rhe recipe
you may add sliced almonds,
sliced citron, cocoanut or currauts.
You may like the little round
cakes baked in the tiny muffin
tins. but these take longer to I'LL
and mean a disagreeable job Of
washing the pans afterwcrd.
In the icing your ingenuity has
full play. Make a reliable boiled
icing that you can depend on and
tint portions Of it yellow, green,
pink or chocolate. keeping the
colors always in the lightest, most
delicate shades possible.
Ice the top and sides Of the
cake. Have ready an assortment
of decorations. Cut cherries,
sliced almonds. cut citron or holly
leaves, candied fruits. Rcd
candles will give the effect OF
holly berries: candied wintergreen
will make leaves for mistletoe.
Melted colored fondant or ch oco-
late, which may be applied with q
toothpick, will make any initiative
design your fancy suggests. IL
you have mastered the Ise OF the
pastry tube, you can do all 1orts
Of other things with the icings.
The easiest way to make
decorative boiled icing is to put
two unbeaten egg whites, CUP
Of sugar and three tablespoons oS
water in the top Of a double
boiler, place over heat, begin beal-
ing at once and continue vigor-
ously and continuously until the
icing is light, fluffy-of marsh
mallow cOnsistency-and ready to
use.
