SECRET OF CHARMING
ROSY COMPLEXIONS

Making compilations beautiful is NOT
nearly so difficult a matter as most women
suppose" says Mrs. Mae MARTIN in the
Los Angeles Examiner. Using the right
beauty preparation is the main thing.
Amy woman who wishes to appear
really charming aud beautiful must taboo
the powder box. Powder is bad. very bad
for the skin. II clogs the pores, ~roughens
the skin and encourages sallowness. To
get rid of that shiny, greasy, rough, un-
attractive look, apply to the face. neck
and arms. rubbing gently until dry. an
inexpensive lotion made by dissolving four
ounces OF spurmax in one-half pint hot
Mater. adding two te~aspoonfuls slycerine.
This lotion Is the best skin whitener
beautifier ] have ever seen. 1t does
rub off as easy as powder. doesn't
W. but produces that natural. clear,

G. O. P. LEADERS OPPOSED TO
EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS
Say congested Calendar VIII BE
Cleared Up When Present
Session Ends.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 23.-When Re-
publican leaders in congress are ask
ed IL there is likely to be an extra SEES
sion because OF the congested condi-
ton Of the calendar In both branches,
they invariably answer In the mega
tive. They insist, in spite OF the extra
session gossip, that the present short
session is not iammed more than was
the short session two years ago. SO
far as appropriation bills are con-
cerned
Comparison OF the two sessions
proves the truth of the leaders asser-
ton. Already the house has passed
the Indian, rivers and harbors, pen.
sions, legislative, urgent deficiency
and army appropriation bills, and Els
nearly through with the postoffice bill.
Two years ago at this time the house
had passed only the pensions. legis-
lative, District OF Columbia and naval
bills.
II is true that the senate has passed
only the urgent deficiency bill, but
two years ago at the same time onl1
the legislative bill had been passed.
Senate leaders are not disturbed bv
the situation Two years ago q big
appropriation bills were passed in the
last four weeks OF the session.
Some senators believe there has
been no effort made to prevent con-
gestion, and that appropriation bills
have been delayed TO kill OF general
legislation. IL would surprise no one
now IL members opposed to vote on
the Lorimer case, the resolution pro-
viding for the election of senators by
direct vote of the people, the tariff
commission bill, and other contro-
versial matters, should be victorious.
The ship subsidy bill Is being used as
a buffer and there are several treaty
