Your Complexion
tn
Spring.
Mme. Millieent Marvin, the noted spe­
cialist in beauty culture, gives some ex-
«•ellent advice In April Delineator to
women whose complexions are a source
of worry owing to the sun and weather
conditions prevalent In the spring
months. Among other valuable hints.
Mme. Marvin says:
"Rubbing the skin once or twice a
«lay with a ripe tomato Is said to be
most helpfill in clearing the complex­
ion: lettu«-«1 Juice has also a beneficial
effect.”
While these simple remedies are ]ier-
lliips not generally known or used, they
are none the less valuable.
Probably the safest and most satis­
factory thing for general use in keeping
the skin soft ami sm<«>th and the com­
plexion dear and brilliant is a simple
wash, which can be easily prepared at
home. The r«*clja« is ns follows:
Take two ounces of rose water, one
ounei' of cologne spirits and four ounces
of eppotone. Put the eppotone in a pint
of hot water (not boiling), and after it
Is dissolved strain nnd let ««onl. Then
add the rose water and cologne spirits.
Apply this wash liberally every night
nnd morning to the face, neck and arms,
after thoroughly washing in Warm wa­
ter. and you w ill soon have a «complex­
ion that will be the envy and admira­
tion of every woman you know.
Rebuke« for Rude Women.
Men often conf(iss to deliberate plans
for <-.hei*king feminine rudeness. When
women tread u | m > ii their heels and do
not take the trouble to a]>ologize, they
sometimes wait for an opportunity and
pay them kick in similar coin, adding
a polite word of n*gret meant to teach
them a lesson. When women refuse to
lift trailing skirts men walk njxm them

BOAT HAS EXPRESS SPEED.

Ne»v ( raft to Heat All Record».
A craft with the speed of an express
train has long been the dream of sev­
eral motor-boat enthusiasts along the
upper Mississippi River and several de­
signers have been working together
with the result that they have produced
a boat with which they expect to shat
ter all the present records, says the
New York World.
Frank Titus of Fountain City, WK.
formerly owned the fastest boat on the
river in the famous Bat, the small
craft which attained a speed of nearly
twenty miles an hour with a nine-liorse
power engine and for three seasons held
the speed record on the up|MT river.
The Bat has been sold to a physician
at Cassville, WIs., and her engines will
be used in another craft.
Until the advent of flu* Chief of Rec­
ord, formerly owned by A. Gardner of
Winona, the Bat outclassed all boats
on the river, largo and small, nnd could
leave the fastest steamboats In the
stern waves. •
Gardner's boa*,
a nine-horse power engine and 4 -foot
beam, was, until the middle of the
season, the fastest boat In that terrl
tory. At Wabasha on July 4, In the
motor-boat races, the Chief of Record
outran the Bat and other boats en­
tered and finished nearly a half-mile
In the load In a six mile course. The
Chief of Record attained a speed of
twenty miles an hour and for the
horse-power Installed was considered
the fastest iKiat between St. Ixiuls and
St. Paul.
Late In July the Skip. owned by
Eugene P. G lea sori, of LaCrosse, was
launched at Red Wing and clearly out
classed other water racers. The Skip
Is 32 feet long, with a 4-foot beam and
is equipped with a twelve-horse-power
motor in three cylinders. The flklp
has attained as high as twenty two
and a half miles an hour, but through
failure to provide a sufficient cooling
apparatus for the engine Is unable to
maintain this pace Indefinitely.
The Skip now holds the sisM-d
ord on that part of the river with
exception of a boat of the sa me
sign, which Is 35 feet long and
equipped with a sixteen- borne-jMiwor
three cylinder motor. The now boat,
however, has not entered Into compe­
tition with the K|K*ed records. although
she Is said to run nearly a mile an
hour faster than the Skip.
A remarkable feature of motor boat
