WASHINGTON TIMES BUREAU,


The trial of Lewis Hooff, alleged
wrecker OF the Mercantile Railway
Building and Loan Association. which
was set for September II, has been
postponed by Judge L. c. Barley, of the
corporation court, until the November
term OF court This setback is due, 1t Is
explained. to the fact that Samuel @.
Brent. Commemorative attorney, will
be engaged in the annexation proceed
ings brought by this city in the circuit
court for Alexandria county on that
date.
Nearly six months after the failure OF
the building association, the clientele OF
which was confined almost entirely to
Alexandria and environs, and to people
of moderate means, in January, 1911,
ten indictments were returned against
Hooff by a special grand jury, charging
him with peculations from not only
the association. but from the Virginia
Safe Deposit and Trust Corporation as
well, which had failed about two weeks
previously.
Early last February Hooff was placed
on trial on one Of these indictments, a
jury being selected from Lynchburg.
After a hearing lasting several days. u
verdict OF not guilty was returned on
February g. Commemorative Attorney
Brent announced at that time that the
prosecution was not satisfied, and that
the other indictments would be brought
against the man.
Hooff Is represented by John l.. JEFF
fries, of Norfolk, and John Lee, a noted
criminal lawyer of Lynchburg.

Health and Beauty Hints
BY MRS. MAE MARTYN.

B. Sister: 1t Is right that the pa
irons of your beauty ,parlors'' should
object to shampoos made from soap on
account of the great danger of the
soap alkali running the luster of their
hair. Try shampoo maze by dissolv-
ing a teaspeonful Of eanthrox In a Gu; cup
rinse the hair as usual. CanthroN
makes the most satisfactory shampoo
imaginable and leaves no bad effects.
1t lathers splendidly and is the best
have ever seen. 1t relieves scalp-irri-
tation and leaves the hair bright, soft
fluffy and easy to do up. This sham
poo permits the hair to dry quickly. is
faded, streaky or discolored hair, as
soap and most shampoos are likely to
do. "
Mrs. L. g.: 1t is not necessary that
your face reflect your age. You could
easily have much inner, clearer,
smoother and more youthful complexion
II you quit Using powder and tried a
good lotion. Dissolve four ounces
spurmaX in a half-pint hot water or
witch hazel and add two teaspoonfuls
glycerin. Apply this to your face, neck
and arms. and 1t will improve your
looks wonderfully. 1t will soften and
shiny, greasy look. This inexpensive
lotion will not rub off like powder, and
is very beneficial in preventing and re-
moving freckles and n-pimples, and

most any drug store.
Weak Eyes: Wearing glasses is
not likely to help your weak, dull in
famed eyes. What you need Is a good
strengthening eye-tonic. The next time
you go to a drug store get an ounce OF
crystos and dissolve It in pint OF
water. Drop a few drops of this In
each eye occasionally and you will be
Surprised how soon 1t will give you
relief. 1t will not smart or burn the
eyes and is perfectly reliable tonic

sparkling.

health first, before beauty. You say
you are not Sick but that YOU feel tired
always, look sallow and have pimples
and eruptions. Try this home made

from your druggist one ounce of kar-
dene, dissolve II in one-half pint OF

MEDINA is MAYOR
OF JUAREZ AGAIN

Col Juan n. Medina again became
mayor OF JuareZ this morning. The
office was turned over to the former
municipal president by DR.. LUZ Cara
Cardenas, who has been serving since
the decomposition Of the Mexican border
town by federal troops.
The change was in accordance with
an order from governor Abram Con
zalez- 1T ends a long legal battle which
began when Medina was depOsed as
mayor by an act Of arms when Pascual
Orozco was sent to Juarez by order OF
the state government OrOzcO threw
Medina in JAIL but he was released
shortly after since which time he has
been resident OF III Paso.
Recognizing Col Medina as the may
or elect of Juarez, the people have sent
many petitions to the state capital ap-
pealing that he be reinstated- Medina
was the only mayor elected by popular
vote and in the face Of strong OppOsi-
ton by the mayor in office
Col Medina is young man OF pro-
pressive ideas. Municipal owned pic
ture shows and free public baths were
some of the reforms he had begun to
install at his summary rejection from
office. He served In the LaderO revO-
luton and was military chief Of Aqua
Prieta. He never has been connected
with the present revolutionary move
ment.
