WASHINGTON TIMES BUREAU,


Charging Policeman Frederick Garvey
with using undue force in arresting her
last Tuesday, Mrs. Harry o. Petit ap-
peared in police court this morning to
answer a charge of interfering with an
officer in the discharge of his duties.
Tuesday afternoon when the officer
captured a dog belonging to Mrs. Pet
tit. according TO Garvey, he was served
with a severe tongue lashing, to which
he listened patiently for awhile. and
then placed the woman on the seat of
the wagon and carted her to the sta
ton. The woman's testimony which
was interluded with frequent sobs, was
to the effect that Garvey, besides hand
ling her brutally, and making spec
tacle of her by carrying her on the
wagon through the streets. had cursed
her, torn her waist and dragged her
from her home.
Garvey asked that the case be con-
tinued until tomorrow until he could
produce witnesses. This was granted
by Justice Harry B. Cation.

Removing Her Skin
CFrom the Feminine WORLDLY

The quickest and surest way to make
a good complexion out of a bad one is
to actually remove the thin veil of
faded or discolored outer skin from
the face. This can he done easily, safe
Iy, and privately by any woman. The
process Is one of gentle absorption.
Get an ounce OF pure merceriZed wax
from your druggist and apply 1t at
night like cold cream, washing IL off in
the morning. In a few days the mer-
collide in the wax will have absorbed
fresh young skin underneath; you will
have a beautiful, clear, natural COM
Llexicn. The process is pleasant and
harmless, making the face look brill
liantly, attractive, and youthful. II

as freckles, tan. moth patches, liver
spots, pimplcs, etc. Every, woman
should keep a little mercolized wax on
hand. as this simple, old-fashiOnCd
remedy Is the best complexion beauti-
fer and prescrver known.
