to work on his machine he operated
it between two buildings at Harvard.
He invited two Japanese biologists,
who subsequently became famous. to
try Il, and they held a conversation.
Japanese was the first language ever
spoken on the telephone. Then Bell
took his telephone down to- an ex'
position at Rio de Janiero. The En-.

How to Win the Battle.

/ have mentioned here, and recon.
mended az a most valuable and help
ful piece OF health literature, an ar
ticle by j. e. Stocker, which was pub
Iished in the Journal Of the Outdoor
Life and subsequently issued as a re-
print or pamphlet by the Tuberculosis
Society Of Detroit and Wayne County,

How Won the Battle" Is q very
different thing from the title which
so many correspondents suggest when
asking about this.
II any one has tuberculosis and
means to recover he must wage a bats
tie. and It requires brains to plan and
carry out a battle. The tuberculosis
patient who starts out with any fool
notion Of trying to "cure himself" has
lost the battle before he has learned
to fight. Mr.. Stocker won the battle.
He recovered, in his own home, to be
sure. but he did not "cure himself"
He had brains. He chose good ply
stefan. and then obeyed the physicians
advice in everything merely
about medicine, but about rest, air,
climate. food. visitors. everything. Mr..
Stocker recovered and has remained
well for several years. He never
fancied he could "cure himself"
MY doctor approved the treatment

one point In his story. But he men,

Cleansing the skin.

RI you are treating wrinkles, you
want a heavy nourishing cream, but
II wrinkles have not yet begun to
worry you, and you want cream only
to cleanse the skin. you should use
a very light quality. / thinl1 the fol-
lowing is the best cleansing cream
formula: Spermaceti. I ounce; white
wax. ounce: white mineral oil, 5
ounces; rose water. l " ounces; borax,
80 grains, and perfumed oil, is drops.
This will be even lighter In
quality II you use two ounces OF rose
water instead Of one and half. The
method Of making Is very simple. for
YOU simple melt the wax and sper-
maceti and perfumed oil In the min
eraI oil until they just blend. Then
you beat In the borax and rose water
which have been made lukeWarm,
until the whole mass is ready to con-
geal, when 1t il poured or into jars.
The whole trick Is In heating the oil
and wakes slowly, and taking them
from the heat the moment they have
blended. otherwise there Is danger OF
the cream curdling: 1t Is just as
effective, but not so pleasant to use.
II you are treating blackheads, or
any similar skin trouble, steam the
face first rather lightly by holding
q cloth wrung from hot water over
1t for a minute or two. This opens
and relaxes the pores of the skin
so that great deal of cream can be
rubbed In. After a thorough rubbing
the face should be rubbed over with a
cloth wrung from hot water and e.
little fresh cream applied. II the
skin has been very much neglected,
even this second coating Of cream
win come out gray.
The ordinary treatment for keeping
a good complexion Is much simpler.
for you simply rub the skin fun of

water and soap. and use an astrin-

Two-Piece Frocks Have Returned

and all our old prejudices against IT
seem to !. have fed. To be sure 1t is
different from the two-piece costume
that once existed. That was a tightly
boned thing. with a bodice that had
to be held in place with tightly
drawn underbelt. These new things
are not like that therefore we wear
them willingly.
Even the two-piece suit that con.
sisted OF a separate skirt to be worn
with a separate blouse was frowned
upon some few years ago--and now.
in Paris, at least, every woman wears
a suit of this sort on occasions.
The idea of two.piece frock for
evening is one that took some time
to win its way. Americans were espe-
cially reticent about it.. But the
French dressinakers have been per-
ststent and now it is part of the well
established Summer mode. For cooler
climes In Summer there are little
frocks that consist of sleeveless velvet
tops worn over skirts OF lowered

DEMPSEY'S LEFT EYE
IS WELL DECORATED


By the Associated Press.
ATLANTIC CITY, n. j.. September
Jack Dempsey, sporting black
eye, took a vacation today.
He does not know which one of his
sparring partners Is responsible, and
none of the eight will confess. His
left eye is decorated with shades of
blue, purple and green.
The champion was so well satisfied
with his condition that he figured to-
days lay-off would put him on edge
for the resumption of work tomorrow.
He has taken on a pound since last
week and now scales 1876.
k, When training Is resumed tomorrow
Marty Burke; New Orleans light
heavyweight. will be ready for work
with Dempsey. Burke picks Dempsey
to defeat Tunney.- Burke boxed Tun-
ney twice.
Dempsey looks to be in splendid
condition right now" Burke said. II
favor Dempsey to win because Of the
difference in hitting between them.
Tunney isn't the puncher Dempsey is.
"Tunney makes 1t practice to lead
with his left and, in doing so Is open
to a right cross. Dempsey is a MUIR
derous puncher with either his right
or left The bout, however. may go
the limit. as Tunney always is in good
condition"

Bridgeport. Conn. was knocked cold
yesterday by Dempsey with a left
hook to the jaw. Dempsey said he
was not trying to hit SaXton, but
that Saxton ran into the punch.
