Renewing Compilations
by Absorption

If your complexion is marred with
blOtches, sallowness, moth patches,
pimples, blackheads or freckles, it's
useless to putter with powders and
paints, jellies, creams and things.
Unless you have some ability as an
artist you'll mar your appearance
still more.
The new and rational way is to
take off the complexion itself, with
all its offensive marks. Just get an
ounce of pure mercolized wax at the
druggists and use at night same as
cold cream. Remove next morning
with water and soap. The mercolized
wax absorbs the half-dead scarf skin
in fiaky particles, so gradually no one
guesses you're treating your face
unless it be by the result, which is
truly wonderful. There's nothins
like it for restoring a natural
healthy and beautiful complexion

the greater skill and strength. He had

star of the battle, scoring a large part

found his gait and scored four. He was
remarkably steady in throwing foul

THE HoUN' DAWG.

There are many who offer solutions
Of the mysterious authorship OF the
now famous "Houn' Dawg" song. The
Peoria Star believes It has the inside
story, and thus the Star elucidates:
1T may be that the words Of the
now famous Ozark ''houn' dawg" song
were written by a school boy in mdt
ana; It may be that they are OF Ger
man or Latin extraction; 1t may be
that they were penned by a tar-heel
in the hills OF North Carolina, or by
a farmer in old Missouri, but the
tune of the "houn' dawg'' song, which
will be used with so much effect in
the campaign for Mr. Clark after the
Baltimore convention, was written by
Charles 90. 8. A. Roth, the composer
OF MY Dream of the U. s. A." which
has become almost a national air.
The Roth score for the Ozark
houn' song has been officially adopt
ed as the Clark campaign song by
Speaker Clark's manager, Senator Fred
7. Dubois. When Charles Roth heard
the words of the houn' song following
. INC 6ldtS NOlNthNiOI at JOpllus G1O.s nc

the Joplin convention he wandered into
the Clark headquarters humming the

reached the Clark offices, Roth, with a
quartet, was singing this song. II

CAPITAL COMMENT

The proposed increases range from ten
to three hundred per cent.
The roads, in submitting the new
classification plan, were careful to
reduce the rate on a certain number
OF articles, apparently for the pur-
pose of detracting attention from the
fact that the proposed increases are
far in excess Of the proposed reduc-
lions. The state railroad and public
service commissions of Arkansas, Col
orado, California, Illinois, Iowa, Kan
sas, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri,
Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, Ore
gon, Oklahoma, Texas, Washington
and Wisconsin have united in the pro-
test against the new classification, and
have pointed out that the proposed
increases are more than sixty per cent
in excess of the proposed reductions,
and that the Reconsideration plan of
the roads simply is a subterfuge to
get through a big increase of rates.
SHIPPERS FORCE ACTION.
The protest of the state commits
sions was made after the various ship
pers associations of the various states
had studied the plan, ana discovered
the deception OF it.
/ The charge has been made in con-
gress by Senator La Toilette and 9TH
/ eTs that the corporations of this coun-
/ try, including the railroads, are CAPT
talized at 1872 100000, and that 70
per cent of this capitalization is water
/ The roads, constantly urged by their
already rich stockholders, are con
stantly face to face with the prob
I lem Of paying dividends on this wat
cred stock, and at the same time keep
ing their trains running and their
tracks in repair The c. B. & @. rail-
road, for instance, lists its right of
way as being worth $4,000 a mile
This right Of way was given to the
road, absolutely free, by the federal
and state governments"

NATION RAIL EMPLOYEES
MAY BECOME SINGLE BODY

The recent vote taken by the en-
gineers employed on railroads run
ming east of Chicago to ascertain the
consensus of opinion regarding action
to be taken unless certain demands
made are granted by the companies
involved, resulted in $4,000 ballots
out OF the $4,000 men employed in
the engine department being cast in
favor of a strike. The demands in
clude an increase in wages, less dis
elimination in the use of fuel and sup.
plies, the suspension of the demerit
mark system now in vogue and the
abandonment of the blacklist in en-
tirety.
These are the principal demands
which are followed by numerous M
Lor complaints, and unless the rail-
road companies grant the requests
the strike will doubtless occur and
will not only involve all the lines
east of Chicago, but the western
roads as well. At meeting held in
+ Kansas City this week by represen.
/ tatives of the shop employees, the
question OF uniting with the engi
ncers is under discussion and IL Is

Few strikes have occurred in the

past when the conductors went out

brought about the trouble and wal
left to fight its own BATTLES by the
enginemen, conductors and brake
men. The result was that the com
