HOUSE CONCURS IN
 NEW COTTON BILL
Vetoed Bill to Be Part of the December Tariff
 Programme

Washington, August 2.-After per- functory debate of four hours, the House late today concurred, 1S0 to 107, in the Senate amendments to the Underwood cotton tariff revision bill, and sent that measure to President Taft. The Dill, which will be vetoed tomorrow and Will be embraced in renewed tariff revision legislation next December, would have cut the cotton tariff on an average Of J Ter cent ad valorem and bore schedules tackled on by the Senate, reducing duties on iron and steel cotton machinery and chemicals and providing reciprocal free admission of bituminous coal across the Canadian border.
 The vote was along party lines except that eight republican insurgents joined the democrats Most of the insurgents who have been voting with the majority on tariff measures stood with the resu- lars today, claiming the Senate amend ments had not been considered by a com mttee of either House.
 The amended bill was considered today under a rule limiting debate to four hours and barring amendments This rule, re- ported after unanimous consent had been refused for a resolution to the same ef- feet, was the target for forensic broad- sides from republicans, insurgents and regulars.
 The democrats are accused of returning to ''gag rule which they vigorously de- nounced when in the minority. Democratic Leader Underwood replied to these at tacks by declaring he had made the ar rangement after a conference with Re- publican Leader Mann and Representative Payne, ranking republican member of the ways and means committee, who said 1t would be entirely satisfactory.
 The debate was not confined to the cot ton bill of its amendments. The tariff and various other things were tonched upon. Underwood and Payne closed the discussion.
 Mfr Underwood said the amended bill was not just what the majority wanted but 1t was the best that could be secured undar tae uni.stshces ffe said II sVss absurd 10 ask representatives CT the peorie to wait on the clerks and hirelings of the President" dhe tariff board) before enacting tariff legislation. The republican Insurgents voting for the bill were. Davis. Lirdbergh, Nolstead, Steenerson of Min nesota. Hanna and Helegeson of North Dakota, Norris Of Nebraska, and Lasferty of Oregon.

How to Change
Your Face
(From Fashion Review.)

-
The painful, dangerous and expen-
sive operation known as "face-peeling"
is not necessary to accomplish the re-
suits sought. One can gradually and
safely remove the old and unbeautiful
cuticle from her face without pain.
danger or detention indoors. Simply
use ordinary mercolized wax, which
can be obtained at any drug store.
Apply it for few nights like cold
cream and wash it off each morning.
The incredible in the wax slowly alb
serbs the half-dead outer skin, which
flakes off day by day in fine, invisible
PARTICLES. The fresh young skin I'M
derneath soon blooms forth radiantly,
making the face look years younger
and much prettier. Employment of
this process Is not noticeable to others
except that your complexion improves
rapidly.
OF course, the removal of the sur
face skin in this pleasant manner,
takes with it all facial blemishes, such
as chaps, freckles, moth patches,
liver spots, fine wrinkles, pimples
etc. Mercoiized wax has been known
for years to many society women
noted for their beautiful and lasting
complexions.
