Sensitive Skin
Treatments
For Men
Their Complexions
Require Soothing
Astringents
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

However debonair and casual q
man may be about many things
such as arriving late and bringing
guests for dinner without warning
he shows the fussiness Of a born old
maid when 1t comes to his shaving
routine. His razors, his soap and
his brushes are carefully chosen and
how he shaves and where he Shaves
becomes an established custom!
And no wonder, for many of them
suffer daily from the uncomfortable
and trying process of removing
bristly hair from tender skins! But
once the shave is finished, alas, they
give no thought to the care of the
abused skin, other than to slap on
some singing after-shave lotion.
Whether men like the idea or not,
claims noted beauty authority,
they could very well take a lesson
on skin care from wives or sisters.
For their abused skin needs pro-
lection and soothing just as does
the complexion of the lady in their
homes.
For instance, this beauty author
ity has discovered that many men
have been buying a toning skin To-
ton to use after shaving instead of
one with q high alcoholic content
which is drying and irritating. Such
a liquid astringent is delightfully."-
cooling and soothing, and it closes
the pores which have been opened
by shaving.
If mans skin is dry and irri-
tates easily. he may we'll use the
same measures that milady uses to
correct parched complexion! She
finds that rich lubricating cream
softens her skin and is easily
smoothed on with a few gentle
massage strokes and disappears into
the skin texture. Thus her face is
protected from the sun and wind
which causes a fine skin to become
rough or red. Creams of this type
are especially mixed to care for a
specific skin problem and man is
making wise purchase in buying
Vic Vi CAlCIll.
Believe it or not, many man is
annoyed by a shiny nose. Not on
his favorite lady, but on himself! !!
Persistent though they may be in
washing it constantly it will shine
with a high polish and look twice as
large as it actually is. Powder, un-
less 1t is as dark as his complexion,
is quite out Of the question, but If
he had liquid at hand which in
sures an enviable dull finish
throughout the day he would have
no more trouble.
Yes, our modern men, even the
most Spartan, are changing their
scoff1ng at cosmetics to admiration.
Many find that the "stuff" women
put On their faces and take of again
is just what they need for their own
skin comfort! And hats of to those
who use them. s...-
Miss Lindsay will help any
man to correct his skin problem

lope bearing a 3-cent stamp.

Army Maneuvers To Occupy Fifty Thousand Acres

One of the largest real estate deals since the Indians sold Man haitian Islandshas just been con- pleted in northern New York state.
 The party of the first part was the U S. Government and the parties of the second part, the 1,500 owners and leasees of tracts of one-half acre to 50,000 acres located in eight townships in the Lake Champlain region.
 This became known when Ma jor General Hugh A. Drum, com manding the First Army, an- nounced completion of the work of the Rentals Board appointed by him to secure rights from land owners for military trespass on their lands during the First Army Maneuvers to be held Aug ust l3 to 27, centering around the army post of Plattsburg Bar racks, NY.
 The lands upon which two weeks easements were granted comprise a total of 288,0 acres. Lands of every class from raw mountain-side to highly develop ed farms and town plots were included, involving both publicly and privately owned property.
 One surprising and pleasing feature" General Drum said, was the patriotic response by persons controlling the property when they learned that the gov ernment needed the temporary use of private grounds to further the training of the army" He said that only in one minor case was there refusal to negotiate.
 General Drum said the Platts- burg area is especially desirable for the scheduled maneuvers, largest for American troops since the World War. He stated that the area includes all classes of terrain from a military view point. Fighting over such var iety of country will bring out the best and the weakest featur es in the new vehicles and wea- pons now in the hands of the army. It will, at the same time,

Il. s. RIGHTS AND CHINA

The United States now faces Q decision in regard to events in the Far East, where Japan is patiently beginning to use force to make effective in Asia the Monroe Doctrine" for Japan, unofficially announced in 1884.
 The Japanese are confronted with the failure of their Chinese campaign. The hope that inf1uen- tial Chinese might be persuaded to cooperate with the invaders has not. materialized, largely due to the effective threat of Chinese axemen and the subtle support that goes to China from the pow CTS that have concessions and in- terests in the International Set dement's in China.
 Japan, it is quite certain, is gambling upon the supposition that the United States will re- ffain from making common cause with the British. From this country the Japanese get most of the war supplies needed to pros ecute it's offensive in China. Moreover, the Japanese count upon European trouble to keep Great Britain and France from putting up much of a fight for their stakes in the far east.
 Faced with this situation, the United States Government must determine whether it will SUD- port Great Britain and France in a great three-power defense of the Western nations rights to China. If the United States stands by and permits the Japanese to take advantage of the European situation to oust the British and French, this should be done with full realization that inevitably our turn will come.
 Thus. the present question is not whether the United States will make a common cause with the British and French but whe- ther the United States is ready 10 give up its rights in China or protect them. Obviously, if we in tend to protect our rights in China, the present is the time to do SO To wait until we have to act alone would be foolish.
