HERE are two values to every purchase what it costs and what it pays you. Cork costs 8 cents a pound, but if you are drown ing half a mile from shore, its value would be "not what you pay for cork, but what ccrk saves you." When a woman buys soaps she often con fuses the two values. She sees only what she pays. She overlooks what she receives. Now a single cake of Ivory Soap pays back from ten to twenty times its cost in the saving it effects. Test it your self I ; Vegetable Oil Soap. Ivory white. It floats' NEW TAMMANY LEADER LOUIS XIXOX IS A RE MARKABLE MAX. Business Career Has Been Char acterized by Repeated Successes. ..New York ommerclal. J s ,: No man ever became a political leader In just the same sort of a man ner that Lewis Nixon has. He Is "the leader" now of Tammany, but this is using the word "leader" in the provin cial sense nndertsood only in New Tork. In New; York City, tee 'office of "leader" te as definite a thing as the office of alderman. Each party and the different factions have their leaders," and some of them are such real leaders that they are able to as sume sovereignty and select their own successors, either inside or outside the "royal family," Just as the Caar of Russia may do. Whether Lewis Nixon will ever be a real political leader not as New York politicians use ?the word, but a , real leader of course, remains to be seen. Mr. Nix on has full confidence that be .111. He Is a young man and so far . he has had nothing but success; so that he has unbounded self-confidence and is afraid neither of the interviewer r.or the photographer. Speaking about the well-known New Yorker, a very clever MenJ of his said: "Why. Just think how little he knows about anything of a bwslnasa nature! He is worse than Harvard or Yale he graduated at Annapolis." Lewis Nixon, however, is a brilliant exception to the general rule that ex army and ex-navy officers never make good business men. In politics he may be an amateur In a store role a Boy-Stood-on-the-Burnlng-Deck elocution ist takltng Hamlet but he Is a suc cessful young American business man. The United States government gave Mr. Nixon a fine technical education, and he has made the best of his ad vantages in a business way. Before he left the service of Uncle Sam he repaid him for the education many times over, however, by designing the battleships Oregon, Indiana and Mas sachusetts. Mr. Nixon Is 41 years old. He was bora in Leeaburg. Va., April 7, 186L His father, Joel Nixon, was a man of some political prominence in his neighborhood, and when his son was 17 years old he secured iris appolnt- .r C3TS To keep the skin clean is to wash the execretions from it off , the skin takes care of itself inside, if not blocked outside.

He was ithe prise student and graduated at the neia or ma class, xne govern- mem uiru ecui uun auivau cum I Mm two years at the Royal Naval col lege at Greenwich, Eng., and a chance to visit 111 the shipyards of Europe. When he returned he was at once as signed to the construction corps of the navy and was never called upon to go on, cruise; Men with his technical liberal knowledge of shlp-buildlng are very rare, and after he had made a reputation that will stand for ail time by his work on the Oregon he received such a flattering business offer that he concluded to quit the navy and go In for money instead of glory. He be came superintendent of Cramp shlp- i yards in Philadelphia. After several years In this position he resigned and i started the Crescent shipyards at j Elisabeth, N-. J. He has built at his own yards the submarine boat Hol jland, monitor Florida the cruiser Chattanooga and other boats for the ; government and more than one hun jdred merchant vessels and pleasure crafts. He has great enthusiasm for his occupation. He believes that the Idea , occupation for any man is building ships, and that fact makes him well satisfied with himself. No man takes himself more seriously than Lewis . Nixon. Since he has had trreatness thrust upon him In a local political i way he has been called upon to talk a great deal about himself .for publi cation. He likes It. He enjoys pub licity. He enjoys telling of what a busy man he Is, for the fact that he has no time for pleasures or fads, ot his plans and his good intentions. He doe not object to making a speech if the occasion presents Itself and he makes a rather good one. ; Just how he came to be a politician he himself does not exactly know. "I :just drifted Into H," he says. He would probably enjoy what was said of him by an old New Tork politician the other day in this connection. ! Asked how Nixon came to be a prom inent politician, he replied: "How ! do I know he is a politician?" j Personally Mr. Nixon Is a very .pleasant sort of a man, blending the I polish of the naval officer with the abruptness of the busy business man. jHe enjoys the pleasures of life very .much, notwithstanding his devotion , to business. He likes a quite trip on on his house-boat with his wife and boy, and a good dinner with a party ot good friends but he undoubtedly keeps his mind on business most of the time. He has a great many things ! to think of, e-en besides building ships and managing a political organization. , He Is Interested in all sorts of things. He Is one of the organizers of a mam math new Texas oil company; he Is presiaent or the International Smoke less Powder and Dynamite Company: president of the United States Long Distance Automobile Company; presi dent of the Carbol Axle Company; vice-president of the New York Auto Truck Company; head of the Idaho Exploration and Mining Company, and Is a trustee in several public Institu tions. He Is also a member of the com mittee, of which Senator Harm iii-the head, appointed to try and work out a solution of the ' labor question." It is fortunate for Mr. Nixon that Ms body is as strong as his ambition. He has the physical force to put Into everything that he does and the mnA appetite that brines couraee ami .if. confidence. He Is anotflier strenuous man. ADMtRAL STMT'S APPEAL. Cabinet Members Say President s De cision Will Clear Atmosphere Somewhat. WASHINGTON. Feb.

Sharkey, who was at first a rough and tumble giant, under O'Rourke's training developed Into an even-tempered, hardy, strong, rugg jd lioxer. The aboye unsolicited wurds from Mr. OTtourke, who. by the way, has been the owner of the Broadway Ath letic Club, the Lenox Club, the Cney Island Club and Royals Golt Club, and who Is known to be one of the finest gentlemen among the devotees of the manly art, tell the whole story. He found In Palne's Celery Compound na ture's food for the nerves. While this remedy hus effected thou sands of cures among those who ure sick, and hus restored to healthy life Innumerable men and women whose nervous systems have been shattered, and who were suffering from the symptoms of the beginning of a deep, rooted Impairment of the nervous sys temIt la worth noting that even in those exhausting contests where abso- lutely perfect nerves are preeminently needed, this reemdy has also been found equally as beneficial In repair Ing the exhaustion due to the high training.
