HOLD QIALTKOIGII VERDICT JSeci.iion Believed to Be Vnfarorable to Captain of Georgia. GIBRALTAR. Feb. 4. The court-mar-which is trying Captain Qualtrough. of the battleship Georgia, on charges that he was Intoxicated at a reception given at Tangier by the American Mln later, reached a decision this afternoon. It Is unauthoritative- understood that the court found the specification against Captain Qualtrough proved, but whether with extenuating circum stances Is not known, although this is probably the case. Nevertheless it Is believed that Captain Qualtrough will not be restored to duty, but that Lieutenant-Commander Kline will take the Georgia home. The outcome will not be made public until the findings have been approved by Admiral Sperry, which probably will be before the fleet sails. Major Williams, who acted as Judge Advocate, allowed the case to rest with out the presentation of his conclusions. FESTIVITIES AT GIBRALTAR Dinner for Officers and Boxing Con- tests for Crews.

"You don't stop the handbooks by this measure, and If you pass it and It becomes a law, ydu will stop racing In California. But they will continue to race in Canada. Mexico and every other state where gambling on speed contests is permitted. I'll ven ture to say, that many of the Senators who will vote against this bill today go to the races every chance they get. At the running of the Burns handicap at Emeryville over 15.000 people witnessed the contest. They did not all bet. They loved to be there it made their blood run freer to see that noble contest." Wolfe closed with an eloquent plea to his fellow Senators to vote against the bill's passage on the ground that it would kill the breeding Industry of the state and result in a loss of millions of dollars annually. After several speeches had been made In a similar vein, the bill was presenteil for action. It was passed by a vote of S3 to 7. Those who declared against the passage of the bill were: Hartman. Weed.

EXPLAINS TO THIN LADIES , Simple But Sore Method of Developing: Well-Rounded Buat and Figure. (From New York Journal.) It is a simple but sure method of developing the bust, arms, neck, hips and shoulders of women who. through some de fect of nutrition and circulation, are forever being humiliated by their more fortunate sisters. First, it must be understood that the .human skin is an enormous gland. richly endowed with nerves, secreting and excreting organs, and a nework of minute blood vessels which contain at one time over one-third of all the blood in the body that is, if Nature is perfect. The relation of the skin to the vital organs through the nerv ous system in controlling the blood supply is such as to put them as a team working to gether. Get separately two ounces glvcerine, three ounces of rose water, one ounce tincture of ca domene compound (not carda mom), and five cents' worth of borax. Mix the glycerine with tincture cadomene, shake and let stand two hours; then add a teaspoonful of borax and the rosewater. Apply to the parts needing development morning and night, rubbing until thor oughly absorbed; then wash off with hot water and soap and dry. It is believed by expert derm atologists to be the most effec tive prescription ever conceived for the purpose. There is no guesswork about the making of Ivory Soap.
