Although at the time of writing lapipletoleturns are not available for the Baskatcbewan election on rllursday, it is evident that the Con- servatives under Dr. J. T. M. Ander- i‘ loaflhave made sweeping gains. From l p“. ngures received the result will be ‘very close. To add to the un- . nrtainty the election in two consti- tuencies have been deferred to a lat- er data. The result as far as can be teen-means that ‘the GardinenGov- ‘ trhment is out of power and the Cénservativas with the assistance of . tho Progressives will assume cflice. Iijiiwill begin a new era in the his- tory ‘of Saskatchewan politics.

The result will be a severe blow o“t-he King Government at Ottawa, ‘ whose chief lieutenant, the Hun. C. AqDunning, now Minister of ‘Rail- ways, held the Premiership of Sas-i fitchewan for four years preceding bia can to the Federal Cabinet in i010.

B) I11"; W. Buff‘ " ‘ THE TONE 0F THE SKIN

Why is it that so many folks who give agreat deal of time to looking after their complexion have so little success.

And those who have very largo pores in the skin oi the face seem to have no luck whatever in reducing the size of the openings.

Dr. Earnest D. Chipman says that "In practically every instance we found that persons with enlarged pores have been using a great amount oi hot water, their idea being that it is more effective in removing oil from the skin than cold water." -

Now this is true to ‘some extent. still hot water lessens the muscular tone of the skin and this allows the open- ings of the pores to actually grow larger. ‘

Dr. Chipman suggests the use of an alkaline soap to dissolve the oil of the skin, even with cold water, as the cold promotes the muscular tone oi the skill and contracts or makes‘ smaller, the pores.

We have all got so much into the habit of talking about the benefits of hot water that we forget that there are some places where it .ls more. harmful than helpful,

We know that after exercise noth- ing "relaxes" the muscles and gets rid of the stiffness arid soreness that comes from the wastes made by exer- cise as the use of a good hot tub or even shower bath.

You will remember that the Japan- ese soldlers during their war with Russia had hogsheads filled with hot water in which they immersed them- selves each niBht after the exertions o! the day.

This relaxed the muscles and they were ready for work next day.

Now it is this very relaxing that you do not want when the pores are large because, as mentioned above, You want the muscles of the face to contract, to tightm, and close the pores if they are too large.

Remember then that hot “later and a" Blkflllnrsoao will lmove oil from the skin, but this llould be followed by cold water to contract the skin,

BEAUTY

I have seen dawn and sunset on moors and windy hills

Coming in solemn beauty, like slow old tunes of Spain;

‘I have seen the lady April bringing the daffodils,

BPIIIBIIIB the springing grass, and the soft warm April rain.-

I have heard the song of the blos- soms and the old chant of the sea,

And seen strange lands from under the arched white sails of ships;

But the love lTest thing of beauty God ever has shown to me

Are hcl voice, and her hair, and eyes, and the dear red cllrve of her lips.

The incst interesting ddelopmenb cf the January meollng of the Sup- rslllo War Council was the plan for ‘handling the general reserve; ifcrys- lfilIlZUd the effort to make of the sllprcnle War Council a real factor o: illllitary coordination on the West- crn Front. It will be remembered “.!~.h1 during the Paris Conference l-lcusc had agreed with Clemenceau that the military advisers should forlll a board of cordination and that lu. chairman should have executive powers. To this the British raised objections on ihe grounds that it was an infraction of the Rappallo Ag- rccment and would come close to lllaklng of the chairman‘ a general- lssinlo. In January, a new plan was envolv- cci by General Foch and Sir Henry Wilson which provided for a large pleasure of coordination. Since the Allies were decided to remain upon lite defensive until the‘ American zrroops appeared in force, they plan- ned to create a general reserve drawn from all the Allies armies. which would be placed-under the orders of "liie ‘military advisers of the Supreme War Council, The latter would form for this purpose an Executive War Board which could throw reenforce- lnenis to any point at-ached by Lud- cildorff.
