 "StanG still and know that am God. ' It is the part of wisdom that we should remember and obey this command, and |rom what is happening in our country konform to it. Let us be honest and karnest for a moment and endeavor to learn the truth, and what is right and lust Do not think that I dislike the Fich, no, no. The accumulation of wealth In an honest and legitimate way is com hendable. Is it right, is it just, is it not ! crime for few men to have absolute tontrol of the necessities of life? Is 1t humane to destroy the health of chill bren and women by working them in factories?
 I believe in the obedience to and the majesty of the law, but it sis not manly To abuse and lash the prisoners. but all who are not blind and deaf know bf them. Want, distress, and bereavement Ire all around us. Are the agencies Speaking to the people to come back to |heir duties? Are we not giving too much lime and thought to worldly things |hings that perish. and are not the pur- bose of creation. Let us give more atten lion to social and civic improvements, Ind movements looking to the betterment Sf humanity, and see if the sun will not |hine brighter and longer and the waters Try up and the seamen learn the safe loads of the ocean and the fierce winds spend their force far above us in the 3kies J.

REAL WARFARE IS BEGUN ON BLIND
 TIGERS IF COUNTY Licenses of Two Wholesale Dealers Suspended for 20
 Days Yesterday
NEXT DEFENSE WILL
 MEAN REVOCATION
Chairman Agee Says a Wrong I'm. pression Has Gone Abroad and That Sales to Tigers
  Must Cease

What is generally believed in official circles to be the initial step on the part Of the excise commission to break up hlind tigers now that the liauor bills have been favorably passed upon by the supreme court, was the suspension of two wholesale liquor dealers licenses yes terday The men affected were A. D. Walstroni and c. ". Davis, both of whom operate wholesale liquor houses by virtue of licenses secured from the excise com nissioners
 Chairman w c. Agee said, in announc- ing the suspensions, that the men were charged with supplying liquor to blind tigers and that 20 days cessation of bus mess was the punishment finally agreed upon by the commissioners
 It is stated that the excise commits. sioners have the option of suspending a license on the first offense for as long period as they think proper. However, it is stated the law does not permit the commission to elect on the second of- fense and that a revocation of license must follow the second violation That is what will happen if the excise com missioners act the second time on a sim liar case.
 Chairman Agee is determined, with Com missioner Moore and Commissioner Wil- kinson, to break up the blind tigers They are of the opinion that by cutting off the source of supply much will have been accomplished in that line. They claim tkat the two men whose licenses were annulled for 20 days have been supply ing alleged tigers with whisky and beer. The men affected stoutly deny this. how ever
 We are determined to put a stop to tieerism" said Chairman Agee By the cooperation of the federal court we will do much work in that line and again by cutting off the source of supply. We have a city ordinance that assists us in handling the railroad end of supplies. but the local wholesale dealers must un- derstand that we do not intend to put up with their supplying tigers for a min ute. There are some misguided persons here that are of the opinion that we have compromised some case against us ana thus by implication confessed to a weakness. I want to say right here that wy "o V "iouS iio SoiNVssiohS oh any Sort, but on the contrary have, handled our affairs without a moments thought of compromises.
 T know that we are going to revoke li- censes here where they are least expect Cd if on investigation we find that any advantage is being taken of the law The blind tigers are on their way and we are going to keep after them until they ara no more in this county"

To Keep the Face
 Fresh, Clear, Youthful
National Hygienlc Review)

More important than the cosmetic care of the complexion is its physical care. To keep the face clean, fresh. youthful. tEere's nothing better than common Inercoized wax. It absorbs the soiJed or faded wornout skin particles. Using cosmetics simply adds unwholse- soineness to the complexion. That's the difference. By all means, acquire the mercolized wax habit. It's so easy to get an ounce of the wax at the drug gist's. apply at night like cold cream and wash it off next morning. There's no detention indoors, the old skin com ing off SD gradually no one suspects voI,'re using anything. When in a week or two the alluringly youthful rosellke underskin Is fully in view well, you won't want. or need. make up complexion after that.
 For obstinate wrinkles. a face ha tn made by dissolving an ounce of saxo- lite in half pint witch hazel. sur passes massage cream for results.
