Though trade in fat cattle develop
ed considerable uneveness, the general
tendency was downward. Here re-
ceipts were moderate but the heavy
runs to more northern and eastern
points continued and had depressing
influence. Tuesday and Wednesday
there was showing of strength, but
this disappeared later, and the close
on most classes of short fed steers
was 25 cents under last week How
ever, some prime yearlings at S11 to
$12.25 on Thursday were strong, and
in the course of the week some heavy
steers at 1915 to $10.15 were fully
steady. The bulk of the short fed
steers sold at $3.50 to $3.50 and were
fully 25 cents lower. Cows and heif-
ers were quoted 25 cents lower, ex-
cept the choice classes and they were
scarce at steady prices. Veal calves
were steady to so cents lower, top
$1,000.
Light receipts continued to limit the
trade in stockers and feeders. Prices
ruled stronger. There was mater
ial increase in the demand for fleshy
feeders. More than 1000 stock calves
from Maria, Texas, sold at $6.10 to
$50 at special auction. The aver
age was $40.
Hog prices eased off this week and
closed about 35 to 40 cents under

today was $1O.35 and bulk of sales
$40 to 5000. Packing sows sold at
$3.50 to 1918, and pigs and stock hogs
at 81 to $7.75. This week brought
another heavy movement of hogs from

com me I ak In

During the last few days a number
of persons have inquired of the Wins
low Mail concerning features of the
income tax and the filing of returns.
For the benefit of all The Mail will,
for the next few weeks, publish a
series of brief articles on the income
tax law. These are furnished by the
internal revenue department, and are
therefore authentic.
WHO? Single persons who had net
income of $1,000 or more or gross in
come of $4,000 or more, and married
couples who had net income of ST.
500 or more or gross income of 5000
or more must file returns
WHEN? The filing period is from
January 1 to March Is, 1925.
WHERE? Collector of internal
revenue for the district in which the
person lives or has his principal
place of business.
HOW? Instructions on form 1040A
and form 1040; also the law and reg
ulations.
WHAT? Two per cent normal tax
on the first $4,000 of net income in
and credits. Four per cent normal
tax on the snext $4,000. Six per cent
normal tax on the balance of net in
come. Surtax on net income in ex-
cess of $4,000.
Your income tax for the year 1924
is less, in proportion to your income,
than was the tax for 1923. A rate re-

For there is MARIE JERITzA
always a slight element Of risk
about as simple an operation as
removal Of hair by the electric
needle in the hands Of an expert.
Now and then a woman's skin
proves singularly sensitive to .he
needle, and burns and scars under
its use.
In the vast majority of cases,
however. the operation proves
entirely successful. The hairs may
come back second time il the
root has not been entirely destroyed.
But they will come back finer and
less noticeable. And after second
removal with the needle they
usually disappear permanently.
For hair under the arms most
women find shaving with a safety
razor the safest and simplest plan
Of removal. Others prefer various
depilatories on the markeh Only
in exceptional cases is it necessary
to remove hair from the arms or
legs. SometiYles bleaching it from
time to time with mixture of
peroxide and lemon juice in equal
parts gives it a light color that
renders it unnoticeable.
An acquaintance of mine has
used a simple formula, which she
mixes herself to remove super
flous hair from her upper lip.
II, for any reason, you dislike
submitting to the electric needle,
you may like to try this home
made formula. At any rate, it
can do no harm beyond singing
your skin for a moment or two.
And it may prove as successful
in your case as In that Of my

foolishly tempered with these fine.

hairs came back sitter ana more

She then became somewhat
alarmed and. tried the following
formula with her physicians full
approval:

Ammonia, part
Mixing these ingredients well.
she applied them to each hair
root after carefully pulling out
the hair with a tweezer. She
applied the mixture before re-
firing at night. then gave her
face a bath in cold cream. The
cold cream removed every trace
of the depilatory, which 10 too

time.
The hairs came back, it Is true,
but they came back much weaker
and finer. In ten days time she
repeated the process. In this
way gradually the roots Of the
superfluous hair were destroyed
by the drying camphor and the
hair no longer made its appear
ance. This was accomplished
without the slightest damage to
her fine, sensitive skin.
Many women fear to use cold
cream lest they encourage the
growth of down on the face. But
there is little danger of this
where the cream is patted well
in, then quickly removed, not
left on all night. Be careful not
to leave cold cream about the
roots of the slight down that Is
natural to every woman's face.
Following the cream with a
tonic astringent is a further
means of insuring the removal of
the last bit Of grease. which
might otherwise overnourish the
hair roots.

alone. Your skin needs fine,

you to invite someone to servo

Nora Lee stood at the window

It was March. Fouf- months
they had dwelt here. They had
walked up the curving road to
the bluff and the old abandoned
quarry. MANY a night they had
sat here watching in silence the
white waves of moon illurnined

and silver. They had climbed
the long steps between the euca-

hurriedly and snatched a. swift
kiss, as in the days when love
was very new. They had been
happy. l
But now Nora Lee felt a
dreamy sadness floating POLITICALLY
like a water lily on the deep
pool Of a melting tenderness.
She whispered to herself: per
haps it's never to be-never."
There were times when this
thought filled her with a brooding
loneliness. Images from Maeter-
Hnck's "Bluebird" filed through
her vision-pale ships with little
children. The children smiled but
shook their heads and went sail
ing and fading into clouds. She
had an odd feeling that they
were offended with her. She had
kept them waiting too long. So
they hurried away, finding glad
der, bigger, reader homes. They
would never seek her out again.
But in other moods she scoffed
at these absurd, fantastic musings.
She looked at her long, slender
form and exulted. She wrapped
herself in a new brocaded eve
ming wrap and saluted the bright
image capriciously: mot a sorry
looking sight, Nora, darling, if I
do have to tell you so myselfr'
At these times she had no
regret that freedom was yet hers.
She considered calmly all the
sacrifice; the great and eternal
responsibilities that even one child
would bring, and she thought,
burdened: Its just as well!
Just as wellr'
She Should Worry

had been so bowed with self

why she had rated herself shah

bring children here?
