CHAMBER MAY NOT
CHANGE OFFICERS
Withdrawal of Charles J. ellis Resignation, 1t Is Be-
lieved, Will Induce 9th ers to Retain Their Of
fetal Connections.

The Chamber Of Commerce Is to have
the same officers next year as this, II
President James F. Oyster changes his
purpose to retire at the end of his
term. This Is the hope of members to-
day, as q result of the withdrawal of
the resignation Of Second Vice Presi-
dent Charles ]. Bell, announced at the
December meeting Of the Chamber last
night.
When the resignation Of Mr.. Bell was
announced, a week ago, 1t was the in
clination of D. ]. Callahan, as first vice
president, to follow the example OF the
president and Mr.. Bell, and retire from
office at the end Of his term. The with
drawal Of the resignation, however, has
put q new phase on the political situ-
alton in the organization, and 1t Is ex-
pected that the result will be a
reelection Of the three officers. A large
number Of nominations for directors
already have been posted but there is
little campaigning for candidates.
To Be Civic Body.
The Chamber of Commerce is expect

not depart from it's functions as a civic
organization. Although the proposition
had the unanimous Endorsement of the
committee to which II had been referred
for investigation, and had received
favorable consideration at two meet
ings of the board of directors, the oh
jections of the members prevailed.

Every woman knows her complexion
requires daily care. but how many are
constantly forgetting It? The easiest
and simplest way to preserve or restore
youthful complexion Is to lightly mas
sage the face, neck and arms with a
solution made by dissolving an original
package Of mayatone in eight ounces
Of witch hazel. This prevents the
growth Of hair. and keeps the skin
soft, pliable and lovely.
ITO remove chaps. cold sores. pim-

and catarrh.
An excellent dry shampoo IL made
by mixing four ounces Of therox with
four ounces of corn meal, or with four
ounces of powdered orris root. Sprinkle
on the head and brush through the
hair. 1t makes the hair light and fuffy,
and beautifully lustrous."
