How Nature Makes
New Compilations
(From the Family Physician)


1t is well known that the human
skin is constantly undergoing a tear
ing down and building up process.
With advancing years or waning vi
tally of this tissue-change lags, the life
less, soiled surface skin stays on so
long that its owner gets poor CON-
plexion-"
Common sense tells US this dead
skin cannot be enlivened or beauti-
fed by any cosmetic, lotion or pow
der. The natural thing 10 do is TO
remove the offensive skin-remove
the bad complexion. It has been
found that ordinary mercoIized wax
completely absorbs the deyitalized
skin, in minute PARTICLES, so gently,
gradually, as TO cause no inconveu-
fence. Mercolized wax, which any
druggist can supply, is put on at night
like cold cream, only not rubbed in
and washed of in the morning. If
you would have a briiliancy beauti-
full complexion. just use this simple
treatment

Typos Deny Murder Charge.


Chicago, Sept. 25-Members of the
Chicago Typographical union, No. 16,
yesterday adopted resolutions calling
for an investigation by that body into
the death of Rush V. Demon, the non
union printer who was slugged and
killed Jan. 16. The resolution, while
calling for the investigation, asserts
that the members of the Union do not
believe their organization had any
thing 10 do with the death, for which
two are now under arrest. The reso-
luton reads in part: I'VE hereby ex-
press our firm belief in the innocence
of the two merIbers accused. There
could be no possible motive for tao
death OF Demon. While not a member
of the organization, he was most
friendly to il, and his application for
membership was pending at the time
of his death. ITO instigate violence
upon non-union printers has never
been the policy of this organization
nor have such acts been permitted or
approved. We desire to publicly ex-
press our adherence and disapproval
of all acts of violence done to further
the interests of organized labor. II
any members Of this organization have
been guIl.y of such act4 we personally

There IS another type of feminine
street car hog that makes life miser-

She is the woman with a brood of
unmannerly children who dodge
around the payenter fare box and
rush into all the desirable seats De-
fore adults can get into the car.

youngsters jump upon the seats with
muddy boots, SO they may look out
Of the window and enjoy the scenery.
After mother has paid one fare for
herself-the children ride free-she
comes in and edges among her brood.
Far be it from her TO take one upon
her lap, to urge them to crowd up
and make room for grownups, or to
tell them to keep their muddy feet off
the seats or other peoples clothes.
She gazed nonchalantly upon the men
and women standing and considers
that she is well within her rights

her darlings out of a seat
There are other types of street car
hogs that one meets daily: The man
who rests his arm on you while he
reads his newspaper. The man who
expectorates out Of the window. The
person who coughs into your face and
the man who does his manicuring on
the car-the woman also. The woman
coming home from shopping trip,
who mUnches peanuts out Of her hand
bag. The large man whO-wedges him
