WILSON BACKS DOWN.
Recommends a scoIding Instead CT
Dismissal for DIR. Wiley

Washington, July 27-Secretary Of
Agriculture Wilson, in a report to
President Taft, has recommended that
DIT. Harvey w. Wiley, the pure food
expert, be admonished but not dismiss
ed. Secretary Wilson declares leniency
must be shown DR.. Wiley because of
his value,- services to the government
in the past and his usefulness for the
future. For this reason, he apparent
ly does not believe that "condign pun
ishment" should be melted out in the
case.
Under the recommendation the presi-
dent will be able to retain DR.. Wiley
in his position, as it has been behev-
ed he would do, without seeming to ig-
more the advice Of his attorney gen
eral
Secretary Wilson declines to discuss
his report before the president sees fit
to make it public. What little he has
had to say has indicated that he had
not advised turning down" fatty the
recommendation of his department per
sonnet committee and Attorney Gen
eral Wickersham that the pure food
champion be allowed to resign.
It appears that the secretary upholds
the charge of the committee that DR..
Wiley committed a grave error and vio-
lated the law, but suggests in view of

FRYING TO CLEARIT UP

Former Topeka railroad men who
are now in Mexico City report
that American railroad men in
Mexico are not the least of those who
are perplexed as to the policies to be
followed by the new governmental re-
gime in that republic in regard to for
eigners and labor matters.
Vice President Curtis, of the Interna-
tional Order of Railroad Conductors of
America, who is in Houston in connec-
ton with meetings now being held by
the general joint committee of con-
ductors and trainmen of the Sunset
Central lines, said that he will leave
for Mexico City in the next 10 days to
look into the situation there
The general committee OF the order
of Railroad Conductors of the various
lines included in the National Railways
of Mexico are about to hold a meeting
at Mexico City, says a dispatch from
that city, for the purpose of coming to
new understanding with the railroad
officials in view of the important
changes that have recently taken place
in the board of directors of the railroad
company.
In speaking of this meeting Mr.. Cur
tbs said that it would be mainly for the
purpose of clearing up a lot of old bust
ness still pending from the last meet
At that meeting the entire body of
railroad conductors and railroad en-
gineers. amounting to more than 1,00O
men, were prepared to walk out on a
moments notice and the situation was
extremely critical until Jose Yves Ii
mantour, secretary of the treasury
conceded to their demands 1t is I'M
derstood by railroad men in Houston
who are not in touch with railroad men
in Mexico that there is a strong sus-
picion on at present that the new boaro

make a good complexion out of a bad
one is to actually remove the thin
veil of faded or discolcred outer skin
from the face. This can be done cas-
lily, safely and privately by any wo-
man. The process is one of gentle
absorption.
Get an ounce of pure mercolized
wax from your druggist and apply it
at night like cold cream, washing it
off in the morning In few days
the incredible in the wax will have
absorbed the disfiguring cuticle, re-
vealing the fresh young skin under
meath; you will have beauti-
full. clear. natural complexion The
process is pleasant and harmless,
making the face look brilliantly at
tractive and youthful. It also eff
fectua1Iy removes such blemishes as
freckles tan, moth patches, liver
spots. pimples, etc Every woman
should keep a little Tecolized wax
on hand, as this simple, old-fashion-
ed remedy is the best beautifier and
preserver known.
