Tan, Red or Freckled
Skin Is Easily Shed

To free your summer-soiled skin of its
oiliness, muddiness, freckles, blotches { r
tan, the best thing to do is to free
yourself of the skin itself. This Is cas-
lily accomplished by the use of ordinary
mercolized wax, which can be had at
any drug store. Use at night as you Ise
cold cream, washing 1t or In the morn
ing. Immediately the offending surface
skin begins to come on in fine powder
like particles. Gradually the entire cuti-
Gle is absorbed. without pain or incon-
venience. The second layer of skin row
In evidence presents spotless white
ness and sparkling beauty obtainable
In no other way I've ever heard Of.
II the heat tends to loosen and wrinkle
your skin, there's an effective and harm
less remedy you can readily make at
home. Just let an ounce of powdered
saxolite dissolve in a half-pint witch
hazel and bathe your face in the liquid.
This at once tightens the skin and
smoothes out the lines, making you look
years younger.-Emify Coulson in Popu-
lar Monthly.-Advt.

Suffragette Figures
Controversy Subject

Far be it from either the pro or the
anti suffragettes to use any such un-
dignified words as "falsehoods" or lies"
but just the same the suffrage figures
are getting a terrible jClt!ng between
the fOrs and againsts.
The antis think the suffragettes have
been dOctOring their dope on the num-
Der of female voters, when they say
1000, 900. but as a soft answer turneth
away wrath the pros are explaining
that the antis didn't count on Illinois,
and that's how they failed to recognize
the vast Importance of the National
Council Of Women's Voters.
And then, just to convince the
world that theirs. is the only cause
the pros are claiming the support Of 10
of the twenty Democratic Congressman
from Illinois, the newest suffrage State
and a strong backing from the three
leading candidates in the Maine election

Remains Sent Here

Prof. J. w. Gidley, of the National

regarding a most interesting finI in a
railroad town down near the White
Sulphur Springs. in Greenbrier county,
W. Va.
While workmen were digging through
the soil they encountered remains which
were evidently those of ancient ami
mails and similar to those found last
spring in a cut of a like nature near
Cumberland. Prof. Gidley says that the
bones are evidently those of a prehis-
tor!c peCcary, a kind of pig which now
inhabits solely the tropical countries.
Judging by the bones, the owner of this
jawbone ambled about some hundred
and fifty thousand years ago.

both graduates of the Rockland High
School this year. and members of two
of the city's most prominent families.
No messages were found in the boat
or on the persons of the young couple
to tell the cause of the tragedy, but
the position Of the bodies and entire
absence of anything resembling a ytrug-
gle, creates strong reason for the belief
that the two deaths are the result of a
suicide agreement.
A .3S-caliber revolver was found
grimly clutched in the right hand Of
Perry.
When Mr.. Dyer sighted the drifting
boat near Bay Islands he first thought
it had broken from its moorings. AS
he drew near he saw the forms of two
persons in the bow, both apparently
asleep. Closer inspection OF the pal
lid and blood-stained faces showed
that the two were dead. He towed the
boat into Rockland, where the coroner
and police authorities were notified.
The couple left this port with the
apparent intention of making a brief
pleasure trip in the outer harbor, and
their families were expecting their re-
turn for the MONDAY meal.
A revolver with three shells exploded
was found in the boat
There were two wounds on the girls
body One bullet had entered her
heart, the other had penetrated her
temple. The revolver was held so close
to Miss Spear that her clothing was
scorched and her flesh burned. Either
bullet would have proven fatal.
