dustry in Suburban Town.

Georgetown is to have a real live
commerce of the ancient town and an
increasing hum of business, the George
town Citizens Association has become
impregnated with modern practice, and
has decided to have a booster, or rath-
er a committee of boosters. At a meet
ing in Potomac Savings Bank hall last
night. the association voted to create a
publicity committee to boom the town.
This committee will boost affairs in
general and business in particular, and

people of Washington and the surround
ing communities are acquainted with
the magnitude of affairs and opportuni-
ties across the creek, with a rapidly de-
veloping business, commerce and indus

the city, it is pointed out, are in George
town, while the canal and a railroad
touching the industrial district along the
water front offer ample opportunities for
development.
The association is opposed to the pro-
posal to saddle the entire cost of The ac-
quirement and Improvement ofN the Q

owners within certain radius, but fav-
ors the practice of the past, whereby
one half the cost is assessed as bene-

To Renew Complexion
Without Cosmetics
(From The Dermatologist.) }

If the excessive user Of cosmetics only
knew the impression her artificiality
really makes upon others, she would
quickly seek means of gaining a natural
complexion. Let her acquire the mer-
colized wax habit, discarding make
ups entirely, and she will soon have the
kind of complexion that women envy
and men admire. It's so easy to get an
ounce of mercolized wax at any drug
store, use nightly like cold cream and
wash it off mornings. And the results
are so remarkable. Gradually the life
less cuticle pcels off, in almost invisible
flaky particles. In a week or SO there's
brand new complexion, clear. velvety-
soft of girlish color and texture. The
treatment is so simple, harmless. and
marvelously effective. the wonder is
that every woman whose skin is with
cred, discolored, rough, chapped, freck-
led or pimpled, has not already adopted
it. ~ ...
Let wrinkled women quit pastes and
massage creams which mar the skin
still more and try this more sensible
treatment: Dissolve / o. powdered sax
olite in Y pint witch hazel; use as a
face bath Every line will quickly dis
appear.-Advt.

Growing Children
Need Good Bowels
Give a Mild Laxative Oc-
casionally to Insure Reg
ular Bowel Action

As a child grows older II requires
nore and more personal attention from
the mother. and as the functions Of the
bowels are of the utmost importance to
health great attention should be paid to
tfem.
Diet Is Of great importance, and the
mother should watch the effect of GER
tain foods. A food will constipate one
and not another. and so We have a
healthy food like eggs causing bilious
ness to thousands, and a wholesome
fruit like bananas constipating many.
1t Is also to be considered that the child
Is growing. and great changes are taxi
ing place in the young man or young
woman. The system has not yet settled
itself to its later routine.
A very valuable remedy at this stage,
and one which every growing boy and
Sirl should be given often or OCCASION

vETOOF PRESIDENT
FEARED BY FRIENDS
OF LIQUOR MEASURE
Webb Bill Passes Congress, in
Spite of Lawyers Assertion
of Its UnconstitutionaIity.

Having passed the snags in House
and Senate, the liquor bill. to enable
dry States to shut illegal shipments Of
liquor out of their territory, is con-
fronted with another serious situation.
Passage of the bill by Congress is
assured. but it is uncertain whether
President Taft will sign the bill Much
concern is felt by supporters of tine
measure lest he veto it. In view of
the fact that some of the leading law
yers in Congress insist the measure is
unconstitutional, the President could
make its alleged unconstitutionality the
basis Cor 4 veto If he saw fit.
Lobbyists against the Kenyon bill and
the Webb bill were active up to the
last at the Capitol yesterday, but they
could not prevent passage b. the SEN
ate of the Webb bill. 1t went through
finally without a roll call and without
a division.
Same Bills.
The Webb bill has to all intents and
purposes passed Congress. After a de-
bate all afternoon, the Webb bill was
substituted for the Kenyon-Sheppard
bill and adopted The only difference
between the Webb bill in the Senate
and the one in the House is that one
is a Senate bill and the other a House
hill, and this will necessitate sending
the measure which passed the Senate
to the House to have the Senate bill
accepted. This is a matter of form
and will be done as a routine proceed
ing. The bill will then go to the White
House
Acceptance of the Senate bill by the
House will avoid conference and save
delay. The working of the Senate bill
is the same as that of the House bill.
The bill as IL stands outlaws as an
article of interstate commerce all liquor
which consignor or consignee propose to
have shipped into a State for use in
violation of its laws. Liquor intended
for personal use and for sacramental
purposes will not be interfered with.
Six Hour Debate.
The discussion in the Senate lasted
baout six hours. Senators Root and
Sutherland chiefly opposed the consti-
tuionality of the measure. Senator
Borah. Kenyon, and others defended it.
Various amendments were adopted to
the Kenyon-Sheppard bill. But after
that had been done. on motion of Sena-
tor Gallinger the Webb bill was substi-
tuted for the Kenyon-Sheppard bill.
Congress has been discussing the ques-
ton of legislation such as is proposed
by the Webb bill, for many years.
and the passage of the measure is con-
sidered an important victory by the be-
levers in adherence to the liquor laws
of the dry States.

REALLY NAMED FOR STATE
Mississippi River Steamers Original
ed coanomen That Has Now
Become Universal.

On the Mississippi river In olden
days the passenger steamboats, were
very ornate affairs, vying with each
other in garish glory. One owner hit
on the idea of naming his steam
boats cabins instead of numbering
them. So he named them In honor Of
the states of the union, each having
above the door the gilt title of some
state, the big central cabin being call
ed the Texas" after the largest
state. Other boat owners took up the
idea, and thus the word cabin was
gradually alternated by state" room,
For years the best cabin was still
known as the Texas. Then that so
briquet died with the ebbing glory of
the old river steamers. But the word
"stateroom" became incorporated into
our language, and in time even broke
into the dictionary, as does many an
other catch phrase. Not one person

Is one of those nervous men who con-

keeping them in ignorance OF any

him the usual warning:
Remember" he warned, IF any
thing happens around here I'm to be
the first person to know about It."
Soon after that he was showing
three naughty Daughters Of the Con

place, when the new bell boy rushed

The three Daughters Of the Con

the boy, has just had kittens! What
shall we do?"

Nearly everybody is obliged more or
less to take laxative. There are of
course few exceptions. A great many
people also need occasionally to take a
tonic. Probably few households exist
that do not make use of tonics and
laxatives.
The remedy Peruna is a laxative
tonic. 1t not only operates as gentle
laxative, but also as tonic.
The benefit derived from such a
remedy is a great deal more in the
prevention of disease than in the cure.

A TONIC LAXATIVE
Pe-ru-na, an Up-to-Date Family Medicine That
Should Be In Every Home

sease has really gained foothold in the
system, person was to take dose or two
of good tonic laxative the great major
ity of cases of sickness would be pre-
vented.
Peruna is remedy that should be kepS
in the house. Its virtue as preventive
to disease is the thing l wish chiefly 70
emphasize.
A slight condition of constipation may
lead to serious sluggishness of the bowels,
biliousness, re.absoip.ion of poisonous ma
teral and finally sickness. Or apathy OF
the stomach in which the food is not rel
ished, may gradually lead to atomic dyspep-
STA or to the acquisition of some acute dis
ease For either one OF these conditions
few doses of the tonic laxative Peruna
would set matters right. This is why the
remedy should always be kept handy by.
When once the value of Peruna as .
household remedy is understood no home
would be without it. Cathartics, pills and
powders would be discarded Irritating
tonics would be no longer taken. Alco-
holic drinks would have no place. With
few doses of Peruna vigorous appetite Is
produced and if there be any sluggishness
of the bowels their function is gradually
restored.
Most laxatives are weakening in their
effect. A tonic laxative guards against
this weakening effect. Until right living
has become so thoroughly established that
all medicines are superhuous. Peruna will
be needed. It is exactly the remedy that
meets numerous necessities of the house
