A TALK WITH ONE OF THEM.
She Explains How She Keeps Her
Complexion Clear With
t.'itscurlnc.
Now York, April 6. "Thero Is uo uso
denying tho fact," said Mademolscllo
Carol, ono of tho noted skin specialists,
"but many women ruin their complexions
by using faco powders, cosmetics and skin
foods. Why, It is simply non-senslcal lo
use things that only atop up tho pores
of tho skin, aggravating the skin and
making your complexion worse than It you
bad never used them. My rules for
keeping tho complexion clear and free from
pimples nnd blackheads aro as follows
Eat good, wholcsomo food, cat regularly,
drink plenty of cold puro wnter, tako at
least olght hours' sleep, tako a cold spongo
bath every morning, but abovo all, keep
your bowels regular by using Cascarlne."
This gentle laxative Is tho best tonic
for tho bowels and liver; it removes all
Impurities from the system nnd makes a
clear complexion. Every woman should
havo a bottln In the house. It Is tho best
laxattvo tonic and tbo best blood purifier.
Cnscnrlno removes from tho brcatn un
pleasant odors arising from fermentative
decomposition of food. It prevents the
constipation which usdally follows tho use
of other drugs of Its class.
Go to your druggists today and buy a
bottle of Cascarlne. It comes In blue and
whtto wrappers and Is not a tnblet or a
pill. Doctors recommend It because It
will not grlpo and because no other laxa
tive Is as good.
Prleo per bottle, fifty cents. If your
druggist hain't It, ask him to get it for
you .of his Jobber.

Colonel V, T. Sullivan, chief postofflce In
spector, with headquarters at Denver, has
been In Ohiaha several days, appearing
before tho federal grand Jury In the case
of Ernest J. Woltcrs, tho Schuyler mer
chant who Is accused of attempting to
blackmail United States Senator Kcarns
of Utah.
Colonel "1)111" Sullivan his full name
Is William Tccumsch Sullivan, but his
friends aro not sticklers for formality and"
he Isn't either Is' known unofficially In
government circles as the dream In
terpreter for tbo Postomce department.
It Ih difficult at a glance to understand
bow a prosaic old chap llko Undo Sam
ever has occasion to employ a dream In
terpreter, yet there Is at least ono chap
ter In Colonel Sullivan's experience which
demonstrates the occasional necessity of
an Interpreter of dreams In tho govern
ment net vice.
It happent'd like this but let Colonel
."Hill" tell It In his own language:
"A few years ago in n little Kansas
town the postmaster reported to tho au
thorities that his office bad been entered
by burglars who, failing to find any cur
rency In the till, Issued money orders ag
gregating J 100 nnd cashed them at another
town In that vlcln'ty. Appended to this
commonplace report was a somewhat
dramatic story of how the postmasters
wife had Jumped out of bed on the very
night of the burglary, exclaiming:
Seo thnt man entering the postofflce!
Sec, he hau a skeleton key! Lock at him
now, he's opening the money order
drawer! Now he's Issulug an order! I
sec the Imprint of the stamp upon the
government paper! Oh, catch him, catch
him, somebody, do please!'
"The postmaster Jabbed his wife In tho
ribs and discovered that she was talking
In her sleep.
Tnke Kick at Convict.
Tho woman also dreamed an explicit
description of the man who did tho break
ing. This description tallied exactly with
the personal appearance of an cx-convlct
living In the little town a mere village.
where an ex-convlct's features would
naturally enough bo Impressed upon the
memory of the whole countryside.
"In the minds of the villagers there was
a solution of the po3tomce mystery. It s
easy to kick a man who Is down, you
know, so it was natural to concludo that
the poor old ex-convlct wbb guilty. Wh.n
.1 wont out on tho caso I might havo In
clined to the convict theory had I not heard
of the dream.
"Visiting the postmaster, I told him I
desired a private Interview with his wlfo.
'Very well, sir,' Bald he, 'I'll tako you
dowu to tho house and Introduce you.' So
he (Md, retiring Immediately thereafter,
I talked to the woman several mlnutos
along general lines, suddenly asking:
" 'How about that dream of yours?'
" 'Pshaw, you don't believe in dreams,
so what's the uso of telling you?'
" 'Yes, I am a dream bcllover, and being
the only government, attache who has any
faith, I bear, the distinction of being the
official dream interpreter" 'That's why I
am here. But for your dream, some other
Inspector might have been assigned to this
case.
'The postmaster's wife related in minute
detail all of her dream. Then I said-.
" 'I am now ready to Interpret. Dreams
frequently must be taken exactly opposite,
and Instead of a man ot certain description
entering the pcstofllce with skeleton keys
at night, it was a woman who entered in
daylight without the aid of a key, for tho
door was already open. That same woman
Issued tho money orders and a few days
later she appeared In disguise nt another
postofQco and cashed the orders. I see that
woman now. If you had dreamed Just n
little further, I could tell what disposition
tho woman made of the money, but since I
am unablo to go that far with my Inter
pretatlon, perhaps you can supply the
missing chapter.
" 'What do you mean, sir.' shrieked the
woman.
'I mean that you Issued those money
orders, and you d better make good nt
once.'
Brings Ont C'onfelon.,
My bluff worked. A full confession fol
lowed. In order to outshine certain neigh
bors who possessed wealth the woman had
taken this method of raising money. It
was another Instance ot woman's vanity
overwhelming her better Judgment. Sho
protested that her huuband knew nothing
of her guilt, and subsequent ovents provea
the truthfulness ot this' statement. In less
than an hour after the confession was made
tho woman repaid to tho government,
through me, all that she had secured on
tbo money orders.
"Did I arrest her? No. I'm from Mis
sourl, and I don't like the Idea ot a 200
pound man arresting a ninety-pound
woman. That would be a breach of chivalry,
Bah."
And this Is why Colonel "Dill" Sulllvau
is known all tho way down from Mark
Hanna to Tom Pattersou as dream Inter
preter for tho government.
Colonel Sullivan Is one ot tho most widely
known postofflce Inspectors In the United
States. He has been In tho service a long
while, and has figured In several cases of
national Importance Perhaps his most
distinguished service to the government was
tho part h? took In establishing a modern
postal systom In Cuba. Ho was ono ot the
leader In that work.
Take Colonel Sullivan on duty and ho Is
business all over. Take him off duty and
he Is ono of the best fellows you ever met,
a genial gentleman, nn entertaining story
teller and gamo enough to do credit to his
title of colonel and the Grand Army of the
Hepubltc badge on his lapel bears testimony
to the fact that William Tccumseh bill
llvan was on earth while this country of ours
was fighting Itself away back In tho '6Cs,
