COMPLEXIONS FLAKED
OFF At HOME
fFrom Pilgrim Magazlne.l

The girl with the poor complexion
complains, Il have to touch up my
cheeks. am sallow and a sight, and
only my makeup saves me-"
Now. as a matter of fact, more
women spoil their good looks than
improve them with cosmetics. The
practice certainly is unnecessary, now
that the virtues of ordinary mercolized
wax as a beautiier have become
known. Il has been found that the
incredible in the wax has wonderful
absorbent powers. It causes the faded
or discolored scarf skin to fake on
in minute, almost imperceptible par
ticles, so gently, gradually. as 70
cause no inconvenience at all In
this way the old complexion is act
ually emoved-likewise all fine lines,
pimples, blotches, moth patches and
other surface defects. A new COM
plexion, appears-a clear, smooth,
youthful. healthy-hued skin such as no
paint, powder or lotion can produce.
Mercolized wax, to be had at any
drug store. is applied like cold cream.

cial or otherwise, and will continue
to increase until the elements which
contribute toward its propagation
are eliminated. But while the safe
guarding of society, through a ra-
tional restraint put upon its wilful
offenders is commendable and neces-
sary, any punishment carried beyond
a reasonable limit is both useless
and inhuman, besides being in di-
rect opposition to all the teachings
of Christianity.
A parent Furnishes a child with a
view to improve its character and
morals, but what parent would pro-
long a penalty for months or years
for an insubordination, however SER
ious? The government under which
we dwell is the parent of the citizen,
and its chief concern should be the
uplifting and betterment of each and
every individual-not the infiction
of unreasoning, degrading and un-
Christian chastisement of its erring
subjects, beyond a point consistent
with the demands of sane and sal
utary discipline. The trouble is that
society begins at the wrong end to
correct its evils; when through the

PARDONING CRIMINALS.
Governor Blease, of South Carolina,
Commended by George W.
Merritt

WtTIIII
Editor of THE EVENING JOUR-
NAL:-In your issue of October 2nd,
there appears, editorially, a brief
criticism. upon the action of Govern
or Blease, of South Carolina, in par
doning or committing the sentences
Of some PA persons convicted of
murder.
II is indeed regrettable that at this
late stage of moral and Christian de-
velopment. we should so often hear
such protests at what would seem to
be the most convincing and practical
evidence of that spirit of forgiveness
and brotherly love which is the very
corner stone Of the faith which has
been gradually elevating the race
from savagery to civilization
II would seem that the time should
long since have passed when revenge
alone constituted the motive for pun
ishing human being for his mis-
deeds. OF what avail is chastisement
II not inflicted with a view to refine
and elevate the moral nature of the
offender? And of what avail under
any circumstances, is the prolonga-
tion of a punishment for any offence
whatsoever, after man has suffered
twenty, fifteen or even five years Of
penal servitude?
Surely in such length Of time a
man has endured misery enough to
expiate the fgravest of crimes.and even
were his sufferings to be extended a
life time it could not undo a wrong
or restore again to life the one whom
he had slain.
II is not TO be supposed for a mo-
ment that any of these individuals
who obtained clemency at the hands
of Governor Blease were set at large
without their case presenting some
very convincing argument in justifi-
cation therefor, or that he has reck-
lessly pardoned. off hand, large num-
bers of dangerous assassins, who have
given evidence. of habitual criminal
tendencies.
Because a man, tempted or driven
by some extraordinary incentive,
commits a murder, 1t does not follow
that to kill his fellow men is either
his trade, profession or favorite
pastime; and the probability of his
repeating the act would be no
sreater in his case. were he at lib
erty, than is that of others for mur-
dering who. up to the present time,
nave AylAuAdltlN tcIdltu SUCH Temp
tation The honored and respected
friend whose hand we clasp today,

human blood who knows?
The argument that such executive
clemency will react as an encourag age-
ment to crime is absurd Men do not
commit murder because they expect
to escape. punishment. any more than
they refrain from killing because OF
