Billie Burke Says

By MISS BILLIE BURKE.
The first word. “Your skin is the
window not only of your body, but
of your soul.”
• • •
A famous physician who is writing
on the cultivation of health said the
otter day that “your skin is the win
dow of your physique—by it you can
tell the state of your health.” As I
read it I thought we could go farther
even than that and say that through
the window of yonr skin one could
alto tell our disposition, tastes and
vocation.
I have never seen a discontented
person who had a beautiful com
plexion and whether discontent comes
from a disordered liver or a disor
dered liver comes from discontent 1
am not quite sure, but you can usu
ally say if you see a woman with
brown or yellow complexion, thbt not
only -is her liver -out of order, but
abe is not right in her mind with the
world.
The co-relation between the mental
and the physical of a human being Is
so close and delicate that we can
hardly separate one from the other
When I feel that "the times are out
of Joint” and that all s not right with
the world,” I first look to my liver.
I start in a regular regime of exer
cise, I walk at least six miles a day,
I do the deep breathing exercise, and
,‘l am extremely careful of my diet
and I find that in less than a week
the world is seen through different
glasses. The yellow has turned to
rose.
FV»r the woman who Is troubled
with a disordered liver and who is
unhappy in consequence, three quarts
of cool water a day, taken between
meals la a great beautlfler. For a tor
pid liver, a couple of lableapoonfuis
of olive oil upon going to bed ;«t night
and a cup of warm water in which
half a lemon is squeezed in the morn
ing will do wonders. While doing this
be sure and become interest'd in
something which will lake you our o!
yourself, something that will make j
you forget that there Is such a per- 1
son us you in the world.

TO ASSESS BUILDINGS
ON CUBIC FOOT PLAN
Tht city assessors are working out
a plan whereby new buildings in the
| future will be assessed according to
, their cubic contents. The local
metht and will be patterned after that
employ ta in New York, only the basis
of computation will vary with the dif
ferent o in the cost of construction.
Tie assessors are getting figures from
archilccts and contracts to show the
average cost per cubic foot of hotel
buildings, office buildings and other
I structures.
Thoie figures are frequently used
by contractors in bidding on work.
Wh in liicy have been obtaied all that
will b< ecessary to do will be to ob
tain tiit cubic contents of new build
ings ant. determine the assessment in
that manner. No attempt will be
made to assess old buildings in like
manner because of their depreciation.

Shepherd in Charge
Oj Graft Prosecution
‘ l am going to by tin PfOOCUtOf in
the cases against the aldermen ar
rested on charges of boodling.” said
Prosecutor Hugh Shepherd to Ihe ;
Times with marked emphasis, Satur- j
day morning, tu commenting on a
story In a morning paper to tie et
feet that he was to be supplanud by
Attorney Charles T. Wilkins in con
ducting the prosecution. “Mr. Wil
kins will simply be my assistaut in
the prosecution of the cases, tn ad
dition to Mr. Wilkins, 1 am going to
have a private secretary and stenog
rapher combined, to be used in the
graft cases exclusively. The Hoard 1
of Commerce has arranged to provide,
all the money I need tor the work, ,
a.id there ure other sources trom
which unlimited means will be avail
able.
"You can Just say for me that i am
not going to neglect the graft cases
tor the benefit of my political cam- j
paign, as the morning paper inti
mated. Since this investigation came
to my notice, 1 have done nothing In '
connection with my campaign, and I
don’t intend to give it another
thought as long ns these cases -*r e
befoie me. I recognise that then are
Just two big tasks before me. namely. 1
the prosecution and conviction of the
boodlcrs, and the catching of others
’w ho may be wantrtl on similar
jcharges
| ’ The paper which has attacked me
intimates that I have fallen down on
leer**a. cases. 1 admit that I have al
j lowed myself to be deceived in two
Instances —one, where the friends and
a coiiain court official lvd me to be
lieve that the defendant was being
unjustly prosecuted, and the other the
dismissal of a man who was charged
with robbery. In the latter case the
jcomp>alnlug witness signed a state
ment. which 1 still have, to the effect
! that lie. didn't want to prosecute the
defendant. After the latter was re
j leased the police Informed me that
he was a criminal, safe-blower, with
a long record I didn’t know that at
the time 1 dropped the case against
him, but it is doubtful if I could have
done anything with the case, inas
much th.e complaining witness was
oppostd to prosecution.
“Si* tc I have been prosecutor I
have ttiea to do my duty, and I feel
that I have done it pretty well. lx»ok
at tht Samuels case. What other
prosecutor would haw- attempted any
move line the one I made against that
man? it certainly hurts to huve one’s
work belittled, when he is doing his
level host, and I can’t see what object
a newspaper would have In making
an u:ijust attack.”
Mr. Shepherd also declared em
phatically tnat his office was not re
sponsible for the arrest of Aid. Gar
vey as one of the alleged boodlers.
He sl.iq that a public investigation
would no doubt fix the responsibility
for the blunder.
Asked who his private secretary
and stenographer was to be, Mr.
Shepherd said he had not yet made a
selection.

Mould 01 Commerce, to Attend the
conference ou the reounslgnmeut
charge, held In the hoard room*, Fri
da), only about a half dozen were
represented, and they were all coal
dealers.
The conference hutted all Friday
afternoon, but the railroads and the
dealers were no nearer agreement on
the recousiguing charge than they
have ever been. .1. J. liurnei, a-isist
an* vice-president of tne New York
Central lines, asserted that the re
consigning practice was the chief
single cause of the freight congestion
in lntrolt last winter, and tiiat the
$2 charge Is the only remedy he can
see. He Mated that the rat.roads
would inform the jobbcis when rant
consigned to them passed potuts
south of Toledo, to give them ample
time to gi\e final orders op. the
freight before tt reaches Detroit.
The eoai .dealers still assert that
the leconsignment charge is a hold
up on the part of the railroads, that
it merely raises the rate on freight
without uu.'ing any effect on r inges
tion
The railroads refused to suspend
tlie charge beyond the date which has
been set. and unless tne interstate
commerce commission disaproves of
the charge, it will go into effect Aug.
