could only bring this complexion to the
surface. discarding the old one! You
can-in the easiest, simplest. most ma

Ordinarily It takes from week to
ten days to complete the transforma-

old skin. Nothing else that l know OF
will accomplish such wonderful results
in so short time.
Fine lines and even the deeper wrin-

Small Clashes With Turks Already Occurring Along the MOntegrin
 Frontier
EXPECT THE FIRST
 SEVERE FIGHTING TO
 BE NEAR SCUTARI
Believed to Be Beginning of Gen eral Conflagration = Declaration Is Part of Prearranged
 Plan-The Powers
 Outwitted

London, October 8-While none of the Balkan states except Montenegro had. up to late hour tonight. declared war against Turkey, everything points to such action within a few days and perhaps within few hours.
 It is believed here that Bulgaria and Turkey are both maneuverng to throw the onus of the first hostile act on the other and that Montenegro declaration of war was made with the cognizance of the other Balkan states to forestall in- reference by the powers. The latter, however. are continuing their efforts to avert war.
 Small clashes already are occurring on the Montenegrin frontier In an effort ap- parently to hold Turkish army corps at this point until they can be relieved by reserve divisions of Redifs The first severe fight is expected in the direction of Scutari, as it Is unlikely that the Montenegrins will attempt to penetrate to Novipazar.
 According to a report from Vienna to- night Bulgaria and servia are expected to declare war tomorrow.

PITY THE JUDGE
 OF A BABY SHOW
It Was a Terrible Task, Yet Prizes Were Awarded at State Fair
 Yesterday

The man who Is appointed to judge anything, whether 1t be live stock, in- dustrial exhibits, agricultural displays, fancy booths dogs or chickens, admit tedly has hard road to travel No matter how conscientious he may be or how well versed in the particular thing or things upon which he Is to pass judgment 1t is difficult to make awards without causing a little "soreness' or complaint
 But difficult as the task of the judge Of these things may be, it Is as noth- ing compared to the unfortunate wight who, in a misguided moment. under takes to act as judge at a baby show. All babies are little darlings" any how. and particularly so those who are entered by fond and doting parents at a baby show. Just think for a moment the difficulty of selecting one dainty, chubby bunch of sweetness as being prettier than dozen or more other It, tie cherubim Imagine if you can the possibility of having to face the proud mother of the dozen or more little cherubim' after the award has been made. There may be more difficult tasks than judging a baby show but they have not been discovered up to this time.

 Action of Americans

Washington, October s.-Details of the surrender of the town of Leon Sunday by Nicaraguan revoutonists to American marines and sailors, under Lieutenant Colonel Long, and the loss of three Amcri- can lives through the treachery of drunken rebels, were received at the state department today from Minister Weitzel at Managua.

This was agreed to after the colonel had communi- cated with Rear Admiral Southerland at Managua who secured the approval Of President Diaz. Then the surrender of the town was announced. Before the Americans could take pos session, however a band of drunken reb- els opened fire upon the Americans, Kill ing three named The marines and blue jackets returned the fire and killed about 50 revolutionists.
