 Freckles are the most obstinate of all Summer blenishes. and though they may be removed they are sure to re- turn so long as conditions remain the same. These conditions consist of Iron in the blood. and direct rays of sun Night. Little particles of iron find their way through the drainage tract of the skin and deposit themselves under the surface of the scarf-skin, and the ac- tion of the sun darkens them into the irregular discolorations called freckles.
 Freckles are of two classes. sals the DeIineator for April-those which ap- pear only in the Summertime and fade away at the approach of winter. and those which are constitutional and come to stay. The Summer freckles may be made to vanish readily with the use of simple lotionAs but the lat

able to tell him whether or not she

Omaha, Neb Mar. 11.--A bold at

Merchants bank at Thirteenth anG
Farnam streets by man who, al
though at first thought to be a des
perate criminal, is now believed by
the police to be lunatic.
The man gave his name as l.. L

opened and menacing president
Luther Drake with bottle which he
said contained nitroglycerin, demand

believing for the moment that his life
and those of his fellow officials and
employees of the bank might be in i'm,
minent danger, conferred calmly with
the would-be robber until other Off
cials called the police and the man
was taken into custody. Tests by the
police seem to show that the contents
Of the bottle were harmless.
The man entered the bank soon
after the doors were thrown open and
asked to see Vice.President Luther
Drake in his private Office.
Drake seated himself opposite the
man, who began talking in a rambling
manner about having had $4,000 in
the National Bank Of Commerce in
Kansas City when that bank failed.
And since all you fellows are in to.

after being taken from the burning

many of them, on account of their ex

Chicago March 11.---It would be sup

of reasonable precautions against fire
and panic in public gatherings.
The acting building commissioner of
Chicago has asked for the arrest and
prosecution of one principal and the
Ianitors and engineers of seven pub
lie and private school buildings In this
city. The arrests asked for are those
of custodians of school buildings

The city ordinance of Chicago says
that all doors in school buildings shall
open outward at all times when the
building is occupied. Any person re-

guilty of misdemeanor and the pen
atty on conviction is fine of not less
than $25 or more than $500. Fire Chief
Horan says: I'VE have found many
conditions which must be remedied if
school children are TO have the protec-

with possibility OF a second Collin
wood disaster" The fire chief also
reports that private schools are the
greatest offenders. One of the great
est troubles discovered by the depart
ment was that in most buildings doors
opened inward instead or outward as
required by the ordinance.

Ambassador from lnsuIar Nation De.
clares That His Country Has
Grown in Many Ways--Ad-
dresses Japan Society.

New York, Mar. 11.--Ambassador
Takahira addressed the Japan SO.
ciety Tuesday night.
Ambassador Takahira's address
was notable from the fact that 1t
touched upon Japan's enlarged influ-
ence ''on small portion of the Asiatic
continent to her treaty with Great
Britain, ''our honored ally which was
concluded "purely and simply to Sc
cure the peace and, therefore, the
prosperity of the far east" and to the
question of immigration regarding
which he declared that he was pleased
TO be able to say that while we
have to maintain our rights in all re.
spects, there are now between the
United States and Japan no questions
of any magnitude likely to remain un.
settled much longer"
The ambassador at the beginning
spoke Of the formation of the society
which he had the honor to address,
and said 1t showed how friendly and
sympathetic the citizens of New York
had been towards Japan in the midst
of all sorts of unfavorable specula.
tion spread out among certain sec
tion of this great people.
Emperor Large-Minded.
Touching then upon the question of
Japan and Japanese affairs, Mr.. Taxa
hira said the emperor is the same per
son-large-minded and far-sighted, al
ways eager for the happiness and
prosperity of his subjects, and at the
same time equally sincere in his de.
sEe for the well being and good care
of all other peoples. Japan's enlarged
sphere of influence by no means, the
ambassador said. necessitated any
change in the general policy of the
empire. Japan's aim and purpose az
nation are always the same. In
discussing this feature of his talk
the ambassador recalled a speech he
had made at Philadelphia Ave years
ago on the position of japan in the
far east, and In this connection said:
Il remember | said then, among
.othir things, that "the sincere desire
'niof whe Japanese government and peo
pie was to have all neighboring coun.
tries Irealize that mutual interests can
best be promoted by the maintenance
of peace, the promotion of commercs
and industry and the Strengthening OF
the ties of interdependence."
