1T IS CRIMINAL TO NEGLECT
THE SKIN AND HAIR

Think of the suffering entailed by
neglected skin troubles-mental be-
cause of disfguration, 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 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
so little, that 1t is almost criminal not
to use them. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold everywhere, a
postal to "Cuticura," Dept L, Bos-
ton. will secure a liberal sample of
each, with 32-page booklet on skin
and scalp treatment.

Carelessness of Signers of the Initiative Petition Left Defects Which, How ever, They May Remedy With Some Trouble
PROBABLY OTHER
 IRREGULARITIES
Which Will Be Discovered Later; Opinion of Assist ant Attorney General Partially Assists Measure Out of One Hole

According to an opinion rendered yesterday by Lewis T. Carpenter, as sistant attorney general, the Kin ney initiative petition seems to be sufficient. The opinion is contained in a letter to the secretary of state and is in answer to a letter by Sec retary osborn asking for ruling dF to the sufficiency of the petition on various points.
 The Kinney petition, on the face Of it. contains only thirty two sig natures, more than the constitutional number This, of course is sufficient to entitle it to a place on the ballo; at the coming election; but it hap pens that cerain irregularities have raised d doubt as to the legality of several of the petitions now on file
 For one thing the petitions contain sixty five names that do not show the date of signing and whose own CTS negleced to indicate the place of their residence One of the ques tions was whether this omission could be supplied by any person other thar the signers.
 The assistant attorney general an swers this question in the negative and in so doing he refers to the con- stitutional provision covering the matter. which is as follows:
 Every initiative petition shall contain the declaration of eacF petitioner for himself that he is a qualified elector of the state 5 and shall contain his postoffice a6 dress the street and number, if any, of his residence. and the date on " hich he signed the petition
 The assistant attorney genera therefore holds that each signer of petition must himself and in his own behalf indicate on the petition his place of residence; and that tni work cannotabe done by the circu- lator of the petition or by any other person.
 It is intimated, however that ther can be no objection to remedying of the defect by the persons who signed the petition and by whom the error was committed. That is, these persons may come into the office O secretary of state. attach the date O which they signed the petitions and write in their addresses
 So. if thirty three of these persor do so it would seem the petition vii! go on the ballot.
 It must be said however that therr are some other probable irregulari. ties that may cause some trouble, es. pecially if those interested in the outcome care to press the point There are some close points of law involved in the question as to the sUffictency of these petitions and that a suit will eventually result is more than a probability

 In an address that evoked much applause, Mrs J. G. Cannon, of Ari- ona, declared that organized labor had done much more to benefit hu- manity in the last fifty years than had Christianity in nineteen hun Gred years.
 A greater part of the session was devoted to a discussion of the check off system and contract system. By vote of 195 to a motion was adopted to further these methods as far as possible. The contract en- tered into by the Butte, Montana, unions with their employers was ratified. The expected debate and referendum vote for officers will be canvassed tomorrow, when the con- Vention will be adjourned.

MADEIRA, Chihuahua, July 1S.-Six rebels were killed. one fatally injured and half q dozen others more or less seriously wounded in q brawl that all most provoked mutiny today among the insurrecto troops Two men fought over a woman and one was killed. General Rojas ordered the murderer executed when friends of the condo mned man intervened. BuI- lets flew for a few minutes until the arrival of General Fernandez. wso suppressed the trouble.
