For some time after the Men'fi
department was added to Mann's,
Mn Moffat was in charge of the
men's wear. Klght yearn ago he
wa made manager of the entire
Jower floor.
During his 14 years with Mann's

wide selection of merchandise and

Men's Department
At Mann's Store Is
Managed By Watson
It wag eight years ago that Dan
Watson sold his first shirt from the
Men's department
at Mann's store.
He long ago lost
all track of num
bers, but each
season finds 'Dan'
e n t h uslastlcally
selecting what
Medford's be s t
drcssad men will
demand and find
at Mann's.
Dan has plenty
of other Interests
besides managing
the Men's fur
nishing department at Mann's.
The Men's department at Mann'fl
has beon built up to such propor

Secrets of Perfumes
Told; Manufacturing
Process Interesting
A flno perfume Ifl a work of art.
Tho mannor of blending, c&re in
determining exact proportions nre
Important parts of the manufac
turing process. The more expen
sive perfumes arc those In which
the concentrated perfume Is of
heavy percentage. An approximate
estimate of from 12-16 ounce of
oil per gallon of alcohol might bo
offered as the characteristic of the
higher" Jirlced perfume. In the
less ' uxurfous types 2-5 . ounce of
concentrated perfumo, or oil, may
be ued to the gallon of alcohol.
As to the different combination,
there are more than n thousnnd In
dividual aromntlra which may bo
used Independently or in combina
tion. The final scent may he buiU
up from b' base which Itself Is
composed of sevoral varying ele
ments. Roth simple And complex
blending are produced. It s pos
sible to make entirely pleasing es
sences with the use of only a few
Ingredients, but often an many as
fiO are used In one good fragrance.
A "flxltlve" is used to make the
compound scent more lasting. All
fixatives were formerly composed
of natural animal products such ns
mlrsk nnd civet, but the nccomp
llshments of recent years have
brought "synthetic" elements to
this field. "Synthetica1 have mie-
reeded In duplicating the fragranre
of many plants, flowers, nnd other
nromatlcs, so that today's perfume
products are obtainable In larger
quantities of higher qiinltty thnn
ever before.
"Synthetic musk" Is produced
from unusually strong nitric acid
nt a tromenrtously low temperature.
A "synthetic heliotrope" is pro
duced from safrol contained In
enmphor, by means of a froexlng
process. Skill nnd genius has
transformed turpentine Into lime.
Separators, vacuum stills, agita
tors, boiling and freexlng nppora
tim nre all needed to transform ihe
rn materials Into the wonderful
perfume. It may thus be seen thi.t
the perfumes upon milady' vnnltv
In hie- are the result of long, diffi
cult, and tedious processes. There
nre special testers In every plnce
where perfumes are manufactured.
Ills duty Is to test the. odor, and
very often he refuses much of the
products, accepting only one out
of three gallons.

Face Powder Story
Told; Ingredients
and Uses Described
Faco powder iff UHod not only
for the Hiiko of aiptiimuco, ht
also to protect tho sit In. Tho
slight Irregularities of contom
nnd of coloring whh'h may bo
found In everyono are corrected
by a film of powder, ho that the
face Is seen ns a gently gradua
ted series of. curves and tints.
The powder protects the skin
agnlnst wind 'nnd Hun, and linn
nutlHeptlc properties. A good face
powder Is sufficiently oimquo to
hide blemishes without producing
a whltowashed appearance, and
adheres firmly tinder all condi
tions. These qualities are obtain
ed by tho u so of blonds of min
eral and vcgotnMo substances,
each of which Impacts its char
acteristic nature to tho powder.
Tho principal -.vcgctuhlo Ingre
dient of faro powder Is starch,
the most suitable qunllty being
prepared from rich, orris root,
which Is a form of starch ob
tained from the Toot of the Iris
plant, Is also satisfactory. Starch
Is absorbent, nnd under condi
tions which Induce - perspiration,
It Is valunble for the prevention
of nhlnincHs. Not nil fare pow
ders contain starch. 1 Vowders
without starch have great trans
parency and permit, tho natural
color of tho skin to remain vis
ible, but they have a tendency to
cause the shiftiness and to bo less
adhesive. If powder Ih rubbed
Into the skin, the grains may en
tor the pores, nnd becoming mois
tened by the natural secretion of
tho glands, swell nnd cause dam
age. Thus a powder base should
always be usid to protect these
pores. .
The cream fills tho pores with
harmless materials which prevent
the entrance of the starch grains,
and assist the powder to adhere.
Kvery faco powder contains a
eonsldvrable quantity of mineral
matter such ns xlnc oxide, talc,
calcium carUmate, osmeknolln.
magnesium earbonste, xine sterate
or magnesium Kerate. The inont
Important of these mlnernN Is
talc, which usually forms nt least 1
50 per cent of the powder base.
Talc is a st-perlor grade of French
chalk unequalled for fluencs nnd !
for Its power of slipping over the I
skin, which It liihrientes. Talc H
unsuitable for the fare unless It
is mixed with n considerable pro
portion of other muterlaN ns it
lacks "covering power." Hlnc ox
ide and osnioknolln nre minerals
whleh mako up for this defici
ency, these mo alHo valunhln antl
(optics, adhesiveness Is obtained
by the ineluslon of zinc or mag
nesium st orate, which also gives
softness to the powder. These
nro recognized as remedies for
acne nnd other skin uffeetlons.
The coloring matter in any
reputable make of face powder is
perfectly harmless. The shades
must be suitable for both day
light nnd artificial light. Tho
colors used In fare powders may
bo of vegetable origin, gamboge,
burnt sugar, saffron, etc., but are
often blends of Iron, preparations
of cochineal, or aniline dy est tiffs,
all may ho used with complete
confidence.
Hefore it Is packed. It Is sifted
thru silk to Insure fineness. Tho
perfumo Is usually added nt this
stage.
The perfttmcH used In face pow
ders nre concentrated oils, of high
nntlsoptlc value, nnd If too much
oil: Is used In an attempt to in
crnnso, the power of the odor, the
color will bo affected and the
powder mny entire sninrtlng.

Social Gatherings
Regular Features
There nro two classes of cus
tomer that a manufacturer of
toilet preparations must cater to.
The first class are those who de
sire comfortable nnd healthy skins
and those who desire beaut if til
skins. For tho on class of cus
tomer he makes cold creams, skin
foods, lip salvos and hair tonics;
for tho other class cleansing
creams, massage creams, Hp-sticks
and brllllantlnos.
Substances commonly used In
greasy creams Include olive nnd
uracil Is oils, porslc almond oil,
beeswax, spermaceti, lanolin, li
quid paraffin, nnd petroleum Jel
ly. Creams made from these ma
terials leave n layer of grease on
the skin which softened the snf-
face and prevents chnfing. This
film Is visible nnd gives tho face
a shiny nppenrance nnd Is reoonv
mended for use before retiring.
A true "cold cream" differs
from n "skin food" In that It con
tains chlgh percentage of water.
A cold cream mny contain ns
much ns one-third of Its weight
of water, nnd consists of little
more than one or other of the
fats nnd waxes, emulsified by
heating It with, the wnter and a
little borax.
Creams contnlnlng almond, nr-
nchls, olive or similar oils nre ab
sorbed by the pores and assists
In the building up of tissue, thus
the n n m o "skin f o od . ' C ren m s
containing only petroleum Jolly,
liquid paraffin, nnd waxes cannot
fatten nnd should b termed, "re
ducing massage crenms," "cleans
ing creams or "cold rrenm," ac
cording to the proportion of wnt
er they contain. A "cleaning"
crennt cents the skin with grense,

among the many employees of
Mann's, John C. Mann stages a

year. These gatherings nre usual

Monthly Meetings
Kvery month the employes of
Mann's gather for a general sales
meeting and round table discus

of the stuff.
greater part of the dead tissue,
dust, etc. is removed with it. This
Is the origin of tho name "cleans
ing cream."
Any given cream must either
be nbsorhed by the skirt wholly
or partially, or not absorbed nt
nil. If It Is absorbed to any ex
tent. It cannot be wiped cleanly
away and remove the dirt with It.
On tho other hand. If It can be
wiped cleanly away. It Cannot
possibly penetrate the pores and
feed tho (issues. Thus no one
cream can be both a cleansing
cream nnd a skin food. The two
types being mutually exclusive.
Most excellent for building up
tissue nnd restoring sunken hol
lows Is lanolin. This Is a puri
fied fat obtained from sheep's
wool. This snbrtance Is Included
in some of the best tissue creams.
