CHANGING HER FACE
(From the Household F'riend)

Any woman not satisfied with her complexion can remove 1t and have & new one. The thin veil of stifling half-dead cuticle, Is an encumbrance and should be removed to give the fresh, vigorous young skin under heath a chance to show itself and to breathe.
 There's simple old fashioned home remedy which will always do the work. Get an ounce Of pure mer- colized wax from your druggist and apply it at night like cold cream. washing it off in the morning. The mercolide will gently absorb all the lifeless skin and leave healthy and beautiful complexion, as fresh as a ohild's. Naturally it takes with 1t all such facial blemishes as freckles. tan, moth patches, sallowness, liver spots. pimples, etc. It is pleasant to use, effective and economical. The face so treated immediately looks years younger.

 Pamphlet Is Prepared
 A pamphlet hss becn prepared by the committee and will be in the hands of the voters this morning in answer to the various criticisms of the Smith regulation bill It explains all th> salient features of the measure. The 3o-roorc hotel feature is gone into at length snd all criticisms an. swered in detail
 1 It tends to show that there will not be more than Is hotels in the county in the event the county votes for open saloons that can sell liquor and says that the purpose of the So-room hotel is to put stop to the dives which have sprung up under prohibition.
 It emphasizes he fact that to sell liquor in a 31 room hotel license oc s3O0O will be required and not $500 as | has been state,i. It also points out that virtually al the regulations that apply to saloons are applicable to ho- tels that sell liquor.
 Duties of Excise Commission l The duties of the excise commission and their qualifications are fully ex plained. No one directly or indirectly
  who owns saloon property can serva on the commission. Rotation of offics changes the personnel of the commis- sion each yea and insures efficiency. The statement also calls attention to the fact that mandamus or injunction proceedings can be isued against them under proper conditions.
 It covers at the other features or the Smith bill and presents full argu- ment and answer 10 the various charges and allegations that nave been mads from time to time.
 The local option committee has is sued signed ntatement to the erect that even though the people might SO deside no saloons can be establishet in East Lake or Woodlawn, owing to a statute passed some years ago pro hibiting the establishment of drink- ing place within three miles of How a I'd college,
