HAINES, Or., Axis. IS- I have read some where that sum trapacanth composes the body of most hand lotions and that it is not beneficial. Would like to know your opin ion before making up a recipe which a friend has recommended. Please answer in the daily. The formula is 1 eill alcohol, 1 g-111 glycerine. i ounce sum tragacanth. K. M. K. I dp not know anything particular against gum tragacanth in hand lotions except that it adds to the cost without doing any particular good beyond giving a pleasing "body" or "texture" to the lotion. Alcohol and glycerine alone make a good lotion, and may be perfumed if desired. Equal parts, as in your formula, will not suit all skins. Experiment a little with varying pro portions until you find one that suits yours. Never mind whether or not it suits your friend. You may need to dilute the mixture with rose water. Personally I find that fdr my own skin the "equal parts" lotion you quote is only tolerable if applied to wet hands. Consequently I dilute mine. I also add a little boric acid solution (which I hnd sents my skin) and a few drops of tincture of benzoin, if - I want a cloudy "creamy" mixture.

Our $250 Piano The Aldrich CJ A dependable Piano cannot be made to sell new under $250. 3 AVe have long sought a Piano which, while very moderate in price, was thoroughly dependable, whose quality never varied from year to year from the standard previously determined upon, and which was worthy of our guarantee. Not finding this Piano in the market, we have had it built for us by one of the largest Piano Manufacturers in the United States according to our own specifications, under our supervision, and subject to our rigid tests. J These Pianos will be marketed by us under the proprietary name, "Aldrich" (owned by Sherman, Clay & Co.), and will be protected by our full guarantee. CJ We do not claim that the Aldrich Piano is the highest-grade instrument in the market. The prices at which it is sold make this impossible. We do, however, confidently recommend the Aldrich as an honestly built product, which will give the purchaser ex cellent service. We feel satisfied, considering the care with which the Aldrich Piano is built and the excellence of the materials used, that, at the price, it represents the biggest value in the piano trade.
