them in all of the hotels where the en-.

Intervention by the great powers wal
said to be a certainty II the Turks by
Friday afternoon were not authorized
by the porte TO make further conces-

Advices from Constantinople said that
the ambassadors OF the powers there
were bringing strong pressure to bear
to convince the Turkish government
that Adrianople would have to be sacri-
feed. It is said that the ambassadors
all along had tried to persuade the Sui
tan TO give in, and now that renewed
fighting was a possibility the powers
were renewing their efforts to force the
Ottoman to submit to the terms of the
Balkan alliance.
The delegates Of the Balkan states
today professed to believe that Ad-

certain that satisfactory peace terms

BERGER PROPOSES
PLAN TO MAKE US.
A TIMBER BROKER
Would Aid Settlers in Big
Forest Reserves Who
Need Top Prices.

Representative Victor L. Berger. the
Wisconsin Socialist. today proposed a
plan to the Forest Service which, II
followed, will cause the latter to &C,
as q timber broker for settlers HAVING
homesteads adjoining or within the for.
ests reserves Of Montana. Idaho. and
other Western States.
CHIEF Forester Graves told Berger
that he would follow the plan IL there
Is any legal authority for It, otherwise
Berger will seek to authorize such a
plan by Congressional action.
Settlers In the forest reserves have
been complaining that they cannot COM
pete In the sale Of their timber with the
low prices at which the Government
sells to lumber companies.
Many of these settlers rely on the
sale Of timber for their living expenses
while proving UP on their homesteads.
Berger suggested that hereafter the
Forest Service, in selling timber at auc-
ton, to include in the parcels offered
such private timber as the settlers de-
sire to sell, and Also set minimum
price below which no bid win be ac-
cepted.

Hozu to Shed a Rough
BLolchy, or Faded Skin
From Beautys Mirror)


This Is what you should do to shed a
bad complexion: Spread evenly over the
face, covering every inch of skin, a thin
LAYER of ordinary mercolized wax. Let
this STAY on over night. washing II of
next morning. Repeat daily until your
complexion is as clear, soft and beau
tifui as a young girls. This result is
inevitable, no matter how soiled or
withered the complexion. The wax
literally absorbs the filmy surface skin,
exposing the lovely young skin beneath.
The process is entirely harmless, SO lit
tie Of the old skin coming off at a
time. Mercolized wax is obtainable at
any drug store; one ounce usually
suffices. It's a veritable wonder-worker
for rough. chApped, REDEEMED, blotchy,
pimpled, freckled or sallow skin.
Pure powdered saxolite is excellent for
a wrlnkled skin. An ounce Of II dis
solved in a half-pint witch hazel makes
a refreshing wash-lotion. This renders
the skin quite firm and smooth; indeed,
the very first application grasses the
finer lines; the deeper ones soon follow.

MORALS.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Jan. S.-To make
room for new law books. the Harvard
Law School has put in the cellar
statues of such famous Americans as
abraham Lincoln, Daniel Webster, and
Charles Summer.
As explained earnestly by an official
at the school, I'VE had to put them
somewhere. We couldn't very well put
them In the dump heap and the Saliva
uon Army doesn't take that kind of
thing. So We put them here. You see
We had a lot of alterations to make on
the building, and lot of new books to

others would have to go.

Lincoln, Webster, Sumner. and other
notaoles, might dicker to advantage

about IL per cent In the same period.

every census taken the whites have

all classes of the population the births
of the boys have exceeded that of the
