CRUEL TREATMENT
 IN MOSCOW PRISON

St. Petersburg. July 15.-(Special.)- Startling revelations have come to light as to the cruel treatment of the inmates of large jail at Moscow, which, since the last revolution, has been utilized as a prison for those convicted of political offenses.
 The prison Is overcrowded. Built to hold 150O prisoners, 1t now contains 1900. The prisoners are shoclingly treated. The regulations provide for meat being served twice a week. but the prisoners have not seen, much less tasted flesh for months. The slightest act of insubordlnation Is punished. It Is not uncommon for men to receive from 25 to 50 strikes daily. The prisoners are supposed to get part of the proceeds of their work, but owing to an understanding between the prison off, cials and the contractors the payment be- comes lower and lower, and if a prisoner complains about the soantiness of his pay he Is accused of characterization and punished.
 The fear of being punished has dsas- trous effect on the reason of the prison CTS In order to escape chnstisement 21- year-od prisoner hanged himself the other day.

How to Remove a
 Bad Complexion
(From London Fashions

Cosmetics can never really help a poor comple xion; often they are posi- lively harmful. The sensible, rational way Is to actually remove the thin veil of stifling, half-dead scarf skin from the face and give the fresh, wig orous and beautiful young skin un- derneath a chance to show itself and to breathe.
 This ise best done in very simple waya by merely applying mercolized wax at night, like cold cream, and washing 1t off in the morning. Good mercolized wax can be obtained from any well stocked druggist. It absorbs the disfiguring cuticle gradually and harmlessly, leaving a brilliant natural complexion. Of course this also takes with 1t all such facial blemishes as red blotches, tan. moth patches. sal lowness, liver spots, pimples, etc. As a freckle remover and general com plexion beautifier this old-fashioned remedy Is unequaled.
