IT Is CRIMINAL TO NEGLECT
THE SKIN AND HAIR

Think Of the suffering entailed by
neglected skin troubles-mental be-
cause of designation, physical be-
cause of pain. Think Of the pleasure
Of a clear skin, soft, white hands, and
good hair. These blessings, so essen
tial to happiness and even success in
life, are often only a matter Of a little
thoughtful care in the selection Of
effective remedial agents. .Cuticura
Soap and Ointment do so much for
poor compilations, red, rough hands,
and dry, thin and falling hair, and cost
30 little, that it is almost criminal not
to use them. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold everywhere, q
postal to "Cuticura," Dept. Il L, Bos-
ton, will secure a liberal sample Of
each. with 32-page booklet on skin
and scalp treatment.

SEN ATE, ENDORSES BRIBERY

The vote yesterday on the retention
of LOrimer in his seat in The Senate
will go further TO affront and ALLEVIATE
the American people from the upper
Legislative body than anything that
could cOnceivably happen. By forty
six TO forty the Senate decided that
bribery in gaining a seat in it is no
crime and does not unfit a member
from association with his fellow mem
bers. Without discussing the question
whether LOrimer is not good any
of the senatorial bunch, il might occur
TO the people that if the chamber is to
be filled by the expenditure of money
the privilege might be offered at auc-
tion and the proceeds placed in the
treasury.
In a very partial sort the blow this
action delivers to honest senatorial
elections might be in a way returned
by making senators elective by the
people. But the face remains that the
same Senate which approves the Lor-
inner style of campaign only a day or
two ago refused to submit a conStitu-
tional amendment for such election by
the people. Well, let Us be thankful
that the Senate has not yet assumed to
re-elect itself and thus become a self
perpetuating body. Things could real
ly be worse than they are.-Tampa
