To Investigate Prices

Lansing, Mich, October 23--The depart
ment of commerce will conduct an inquiry
during the coming year into the fixing of
retail prices by manufacturers, If suffi-
cient funds are available, according to
Secretary Redfield in his address before
the Lansing board of commerce this aft
egnoon.
VINE decision of the supreme court maxi
ing it unlawful for manufacturers to fix
retail prices settles the present law, but
the wisdom or unwisdom OF the new law,
and the economic profit or loss by the
practice, are not yet settled said the sec
retary.
There are men who are sincere foes
of monopoly, who incline to the belief that
under economic laws which are greater
than statutes, the broad prohibition of the
right to fix retail prices by manufacturers
tends to create MONOPOLY instead of being
q movement toward relief from monop-
oily" continued Mr. Redfeld.
There is no thought of questioning the
decision. 1t is the law of the land, and
as such it is bound in letter and spirit to
be obeyed For the guidance. however,
of future legislation on this important
subject, it is desirable that the economic
question be worked out"

A New Principle in
Complexion Treatment
lFrom society World. }


Most creams are injurious when used
habitually. They clog the pores and
eventually form a permanent, soggy,
sitting film which interferes with
eliminative action and makes the skin
sicl<ly and pasty. There is an applica-
tion-mercolized wax--which acts upon
an entirely different principle. While
perfectly harmless. 1t has the peculiar
property of removing by absorption the
dead and half-dead particles of scarf
skin, as we'll as unhealthy matter in
the pores. Thus 1t takes away from
instead of adding to the complexion,
differing in this respect from cosmetics.
The result is a perfectly natural and
healthy young complexion. Mercolized
wax, procurable at any drug store Gone
ounce is sufficiently is applied at night
like cold cream and washed off in the
morning.
The correct principle in the treatment
of wrinkles is to tighten the skin, Which
naturally irons out the lines. face

tion, may be made by dissolving l OF.
