One stroke of a bell in a thick

followed by repeated strokes at
regular intervals, the densest fog

conceal it's whereabouts. Like
wise a single insertion of an ad-
vertisement- as compared with
regular and systematic advertis-
ing is in it's effect not unlike a

was that people in America should drink
more beer and less whiskey. as they do in
Germany. Regarding that matter he

garden attached to every city hall. What

lunacy commission be named to investi-
gate the mental status OF Harry Thaw.
slayer Of Stanford White. who is now
in Matteawan Hospital for the Insane
Attorney Francis Rawle of Philadel-
phia. representing Thaw's wife, Evelyn
Nesbt Thaw. presented the petition.
Judge Davis was at first not sure
whether the local courts have jurisdiction.
and the question was discussed at length.
The court finally sanctioned the petition
and extended to Attorney Rawle permits
sion to bring the matter up again in court
as soon as the proper persons have been
notified OF the proceedings.
Attorney Rawle asked for a ruling to
show cause why the lunacy commission
should not be appointed. but the court
would issue no ruling, because the petition
does not state, and Mr. Rawle was unable
to inform the court. who are the persons
who have charge of the income of Thaw
in this county.
"Thaw has an income Of about SEQ, 900
a year" said Mr.. Rawle. which is being
paid TO the assignees in bankruptcy Of
Thaw. This is an illegal proceeding.
Evelyn Nesbit Thsw. Rawle asserted,
is without means and is entitled to a share
OF the income of her husband. The
petition was sworn to by Thaw's wife.

REMOVING HER SKIN
tFrom the Feminine Worldl

The quickest and surest way to make
good complexion out of bad one is
TO actually remove the thin veil of faded
or discolored outer skin from the face.
This can be done easily, safely and pri-
vatcly by any woman. The process is
one OF gentle absorption.
Get an ounce of pure mercolized wax
from your druggist and apply it at'night
like cold cream, washing it Off in the
morning. In few days the incredible
in the wax will have absorbed the dis
figuring cuticle, revealing the fresh
young skin underneath; you will have a
beautiful, clear. natural complexion
The process ia pleasant and harmless.
making the face look brilliantly attrac-
tive and youthful. II also effectually
removes such blemshes as freckles, tan,
moth patches. liver spots. pimples, etc.
Every woman should keep little mcr-
colized wax on hand, as this simple. old
fashioned remedy is the best complexion
bcautifier and preserver known.

promise resolution admitting Arizona and
New Mexico to statehood. The COM
promise resolution as now contemplate ed
will admit Arizona on condition that the
recall of judges is excluded and will
modify the Constitution Of New Mexico
to make that instrument easier to amend.
This latter is a concession to the Demo-
cratic members OF the House and as a
consideration Of their giving up the re-
call of judges. The matter will be laid
before President Taft. and as his assent
is necessary to the passage Of any state
hood measure it is believed that he will
approve resolution along the lines con-
templated in the compromise.
Senator William Alden Smith Of Michi-
gan, chairman Of the Committee on Terri
tories. had planned to call his committee
together this morning with q view OF
favorable action on a bill which he in
troduced yesterday eliminating the recall
of Judges but he became convinced that
his bill would have to be modified in order

dent veto is not as to the recall Of judges
hut as to the right of the people OF Arizona
