Beautifiers and Light.

The American street lighting system is stu pendous, completely ramfying and mpressvey cost ly, but it is only of the contributions of the electric art.
 The annual cost for the electicity that lights the street lamps of the Nation was in 1927 thing than $680o0000 which practically the same amount that expended last year, it stated by competent statisticians for dentfrices perfumes and face powders by the people of this country. These latter figures from statement, dated Noemberv 20, 1928, from the Bureau of the Census of the Department of Commerce. For den- trfrices and perfumes the Nations bill last year was than the total bill for the electrical en- ergy required for the motive power of all the street and interurban railways Shampoos and depatories cost about much as the electrical power for all the electrified steam railroads.
 So with light, abundant and brilliant and neces- sary, de demand and have the things which assist us to comeiness and beauty. We want to keep our teeth clean, and do in the interests of ceanli- ness and health We want to make ourselves attractive, and we draw from the fountains of fragrance from the reservoirs of delicate powder We make electricity do much in the way of this assistance. We would not be contented people without these luxuries which are neither effemnate nor humiliating. They things to which we have grown used. They help to happiness and con- fort We are of a great people, the greatest among peoples We can afford to spend money for these things in a measure impossible to other peoples While we ride on the currents of the lghtnings and make them to in infinite ways in our industry and business, we, at the same time clasp and hold the things which contribute to the Ma tion's pulchrtude

 On account of having to arrange his work in Alaska so that it would be carried on during the war, Gen. Richardson was late in reaching Wash ington in the fall of 1917. He was immediately assigned to what known as the Depot Bri- gade" at Fort Lee at Norfolk, Va. Gen. Davison, also of the Alaska Road Commission, had similar assignment at Fort Lewis, near Tacoma. In many respects it was the most important and hard-work- ing task at the cantonment He received the raw recruits organized them into companies, battaions, regiments and brigades. Then he turned the bri- gades over to Brgader Generals and their staffs to Richardson that his work was nterminabe, and at his own request he given a brigade to train and to lead to France. He got there when the nearly and little active service. That, in addition to knowledge of his fine fitness for the work was why Gen. Pershing selected him to command the American forces in the joint American and British occupation of the White Sea country in Northern Russia after the armistice.

Kerensky and his White Army against Trotsky and his Red Army" The invasion of Russia and the capture of Petrograd and Moscow were among the potential tasks that were assigned to this army when it sent away. However, it never to that The commendation of the War Department and General Staff and the thanks of Congress testimonials that Gen. Richardson performed well his Russian mission.

 The ideal husband is one who gives his wife everything but cause for divorce.
 Another time a man is glad cus- tom and the law hold him to one wife is when he gets home before the members of his wife's club have taken their departure and hears how it sounds when l5 women are talking at once.
 There would be more prudes these days if prudes were not as much in demand as red flannel underwear. The number of faults wife finds in her husband doesn't depend on her eyesight but upon her dispo- sition.

A Prince Goes to Work.
Cincinnati Enquirer,


 Prince George of England, the youngest of his family, recently began work on his new job at the Foreign Office a somewhat unusual thing for a Kings to do.
 When the Prince reported for duty he was put to work any other employee in the Government service and he showed by his queries and the facil ity with which he assumed his duties that he had real grasp of the work.
 Prince George shares with five other diplomatic Secretaries a big the north side of the building
 In America it is not unusual for the of wealthy and powerful in the business world to take their places in the business of their fathers and work from the ground up-in railroad and other industries; but like this among the royalty scarce indeed. Royal scons usually devote themselves to some phase of less picturesque activity in connection with their gov ernments and people which is accepted by the world for what it is worth-with tolerance in- difference or contempt as the may be. But the world will always applaud any man who takes his life and labors seriously enough to want to be a part in the actual workings of business or gov ernment. Prince George will lose no caste by req son of his acceptance of real responsibility.

The home was beautifully dec

A huge pink and white birthday

ing powder all over the body. be-
tween the toes, and even between
the fingers.
The following formula makes an
excellent busting powder. 1t cools
and refreshes the skin besides max
ing it smooth. During the intense
heat forego the vigorous rubbing
with a towel and simply wrap a
bath sheet around yourself as soon
as YOU step from the tub. Then
lie down and let the body dry nat
urally. This is m~arvelcusly cool
ing and refreshing and frequently
brings relaxation and iNst when all
else fails.
To four ounces Of pure talcum
powder add one ounce Of borac
acid powder. This should be thor
oughly blended. then sifted through
q very fine sieve. If the sieve hap
pens 10 be a bit coarse meshed. you
may put two sleeves together. then,
after running the powder through
the double sieve arrangement three
or four times. you will have a beau
tifully smooth and fine textured
powder.
The talcum powder may be pur-
chased in any drug store. and comes
in either bulk or package form. but
be sure that you get PURE talcum.
There are a few talcum powders
that become decomposed as soon
as the body begins to perspire. but
this Is not always true and not to
be seriously considered. While a
bit Of starch added to the bath
water viii leave the skin In a beau
tiful state. I don't advocate its use
as a busting powder.
TalcUm in itself Is cooling and
refreshing. but the boric acid in the
above formula preserves the powder
besides acting as a Fermicide.
II IS almost imperative that you
take two baths each day IL busting
powders are TO be used. never apply
such powders over the body without
first removing the previous coating
Of powder.
After a bath OF tepid water and
a busting Of the above mentioned
powder Q'm presuming that you
are going straight to bed) I know
that you'll get up in the morning
feeling quite equal to the day. An
other tepid bath. however. and all
doubt Is eliminated so that you'll
be able to tackle the days activi-
ties with a new outlook toward life
in general.
