MiIady's Toilet Table
By Mme. D'MILLE

Dull and lifeless hair makes a woman look older than she should. Dry shampooing makes the hair bright, fluffy and clean-fuu of life and lus- Ire. Put four ounces of powdered or ris root in fruit jar and mix It well with an original package of therox. Sprinkle 8 teaspoonful of the mixture on the head once week and brush 1t out thoroughly. Therox makes hair grow when everything else fails.
 The natural beauty of & person s face Is marred by thin and straggly eyebrows and lashes. Rubbing gently with plain pyroxin will induce them to grow long. thick and silky. The eyebrows should be brushed daily to train them to grow into an arch.
 Instead of powder and paint, use simple complexion lotion made at home by dissolYfng an original pack age of mayatone in a half pint of witch hazel. Gently rub ovei. the face in the morning and all day your skin will be as clear, soft alad satiny as baby's with no dark or muddy discolora- tions.
 "Delatone is equal to the electric needle for the removal of superfuous hair. is positively painless and not nearly so expensive. Just mix a lit tie delatone with water; cover the wild hairs with this paste; let it remain two minutes; then wash the skin, and the hairs will be gone"

It is a tense, gripping story of the Mexican border and introduces in the course of it's production some bits of Mexican scenery that call forth the heart5est expressions of admiration.

 The story of the little artist deals with an Italian boy of lowly birth, who possesses great talent for draw ing, which intimately is discovered by q wealthy man, and put into practical use, giving the lad a wonderful ad- vance in the world and making of him q huge success.

ASKING SECRETARY NAGEL
 TO MAKE EXPLANATION Recent Rulings in Immigration Cases
 Call Forth Protests.

Washington, Aug. 12.-Several wig orous protests have been received by Secretary Nagel of the department of commerce and labor against his re- cent interpretation of the naturaliza- ton and immigration laws to the ef- feet that the naturalization of an alien confers American citizenship on all his minor children, whether in the United States or abroad. The protest ants contend that the decision lowers the bars to all the barred classes of immigrants as the naturalization of the father of family now permits him to bring into the United States, as American citizens. immune from the tests of the immigration laws his minor children, whether they are id lots, imbeciles or other undesirables. Tn view of the mild storm which the decision has created the secretary is preparing an opinion to justify his position both from a legal and human itarian standpoint.

AGED MOTHER LED HIM
 rn cnNFl
Clerk Sehreiter's Startling Disclosures Will Be Used Against Detroit Graft ers


 Detroit, Mich, Aug. 12-An doubt that the alleged confession of Edward Schreiter clerk of the common coun- cil, was the basis for the siteen ar rests made in the councilmanic graft" cases last week, was removed today when Prosecuting Attorney Hugh Shepherd in an interview told the de- tails of Schrietier's confession Schrei- ter was the man taken before Police Justice Jeffries to assist in making out warrants against the sixteen al- dermen arrested last Friday and two additional members of the common council, making IS in all who will ap- pear in police court tomorrow for ex- animation, some on & charge of ac- cepting a bribe and others on a charge of promising to accept a brfbe.
 Schreiter said his aged mother led him to confess.
 ''Schreiter made a complete and de- tailed confession of all the deals that he said he had been in," said the pros ecutor.
 He did this voluntarily, three days after the council had busted him from his job
 He told us that he wanted to help clean up the city I figured he could help us greatly, but I promised him nothing He did want to know wheth- CT it was a matter of just getting him or cleaning up the city. and I assured him that I wanted his statement to clean up the whole thing. The con fession takes up more than 100 pages, the details of which cannot be given out now. The city will be startled when the disclosures are made"
 Schrieter talked freely of his con- fession today. He said 1t was his mother, 76 years old, who finally in- duced him to tell all he knew. T told my mother and wife all that I told Shepherd" said Schreiter, and mother said Let the truth prevail be- lieved that she was right and went down to Shepherds office. I felt that would rather go down the street and hear men say, Well, anyhow, he had manhood and courage enough to tell all he knew, than to hear them say He escaped the law on a technicali- ty.'"

Washington, Aug. 12.-As tipplers blondes are outclassed by brunettes Army medical officers have arrived at this conclusion as result of two years observation of enlisted men in the Philippine scouts, the Philippine constabulary and the Manila police force. The reports show that while fair men are the equal of their dark comrades in ability to withstand the tropical climate, in vitality, muscular strength, they are lacking in staying when it comes to battling with John Barleycorn.
