Mis-; Mis-.

Mrs. c. L M.-Dandrufr can be en-
tirely stopped. Your scalp pores should
be cleaned, and the scurf removed
This shampoo will do it. Dissolve one
teaspoonfuI of eggol in half a cup OF
hot water. When entirely dissolved
and the solution has become luke
warm, pour on to the hair and sham
poo in the usual manner It makes an
exquisite Iather. After rubbing it we'll
into the scalp so il is perfectly clean,
wash the hair thoroughly with plenty
OF warm water. and rinse with cold
water. The druggist will let you have
enough eggOl for not more than TWEEN
ty-five cents to last several months.
Use also the hair tonic, the formula for
which 1 have already given.
EUNICE T.-Blackheads are a local
condition. Any one is liable to have
them. II depends on the condition Of
the pores at the time. Blackheads can
not be prevented or removed by wash
ing or steaming. I have never known
anything which would remove and pre-
vent them except the formula which
have used myself with marvellous
results.
First wash the face with hot water
and soap. Then sprinkle some neroxin
generously upon sponge made wet
with hot water. Then rub well for
few minutes on the parts of the skin
This done. bathe the face with warm
water, and dry. You should be able
to secure the neroxin at any duggist's
for fifty cents.
MISS wAITING-Here is the pimple
formula which you will find as effec-
tive as the blackhead remover:
I dissolved twelve ounces of granu-
lated sugar in one-hah pint Of water,
added one ounce of sarsene, and mixed
the whole together thoroughly. then
added more water to make a pint. Sar-
sene is a liquid which you can get at
the drug store by the ounce. Get IL
in the original package. I took one or
two teaspoonfuls of this mixture three
or four times day, with little water.
CATHERINE T.-You will be sur
prised beyond measure at the beauti-
flying effects of this formula. 1t will
make the skin as clear. pure, and spot
less as a lily, no matter how poor
your complexion may be now. Mix
together two tablespoonfuls OF glycer-
inc, half pint of water, and one ounce
of zintone. Stir until dissolved. then
allow 1t to cool. 1t should then be
thin enough to be poured easily from a
bottle. If too thick. add a little hot
water. You will find the cream will
be white and satiny. Use this cream
very literally and at every opportunity.
Let 1t dry on the face. You may
obtain zintone for about fifty cents
from any good druggist

children, who are being cared for

will be taken to Milledgeville to be-
gin her sentence of life Imprisonment.
The three little tots who will be
separated forever from their mother

Mrs. Hawkins bitterly denounced
the two Cantrell brothers as the STAY
ers of her husband and the cause of
her own trouble. Mrs. Hawkins was
detained at police barracks for few
hours pending transfer to the State
prison farm at Milledgeville.
The two Cantrell brothers, convict
ed jointly with Mrs. Hawkins, were
sentenced to hang Friday. but were
respited pending a new trial.
Facing a life term in the peniten-
tiary Mrs. Hawkins, who is barely out
of her teens, barred her version of the
murder of her husband. She declared
In vigorous terms that the two Cam
trell boys had deliberately picked q
quarrel with her husband first over
one thing and then another. finally
had planned his death, and then had
drawn her into the plot.
II never saw those awful letters un-
til they were produced at the trial."
said Mrs. Hawkins. "A married wom-
an got letter from me and Jim Can
trell copied my way of writing and
wrote those letters in his cell at the
Hall County Jail. That's how they
got me into It.
Awaits Vindieation.

course, and some day l believe the
truth of this thing will come out and
will be indicated. l want to say
before l begin sentence that shall 60
to the grave telling the world that
am innocent. That is ALL"
Her deepest grief of all. the young
woman declared, with tears streaming
in her eyes, was the death of her
mother which occurred recently.
Mrs. Hawkins was in charge of
State Transfer Guard Gardener, of
Gainesville, where she has been con-
fined since arrested for the murder of
her husband. Mrs. Hawkins has one
child, a small boy who is being cared
for by relatives.

at Once Under Reform Meas
ure Adopted tuesday,
Continued from Page l..

the people as sort OF last resor;
affair TO stop something else
The ways of politics always are
strange but this is about the strang-
est political affair Atlanta has ever
experienced. unless it he the election
of Chief Beavers to his present post.
. This charter came into being dur
1ng the agitation by Mayor Wood
ward and a citizens committee for
radical reforms last spring. II seemed
that the people were determined upon
some sort Of change But Council has
no intention Of ever permitting the
sort Of change that was proposed. So
the new charter that was voted down
Wednesday-but then including the
initiative, referendum and recall
clause-was waved on high as a saw
ing grace while the charter of the cit
liens was pitched lightly into the
waste basket
Doubtless the initiative, referendum
and recall clause would have gore
down with It under an avalanche Of
votes. but it had other channels to
pass through. one ot them was the
hands of Robert NJ. Blackburn, Rep
resentative IN the Legislature
There the initiative, referendum and
recall clause was enacted into the or
ganic laws Of Atlanta. Mr. Black
burn did not know he was doing it,,
but no one can gainsay that he alone
is responsible for this radical reform
being a part Of the charter to-day.
Wanted TO Kill Whole Charter.
Mr.. Blackburn was opposed to the
initiative, referendum and recall as a
principle Of government. He wanted
TO kill the whole charter because that
was in it, But Council heard rum
blings Of another commission govern
ment fight. and Mr. Blackburn was
told that this section must stay in
the charter. II has been charged that
it was put In in the first place to
overshadow some sinister provisions
Anyway. Council insisted that it he
left I'm Mr.. Blackburn compromised
by making 1t a separate issue.
Instead Of being buried with the re-
mainder Of the charter, It is a part Of
Atlanta's law to-day.
Representative John Y Smith
wanted to cut the power Of Recorder
Broyles.
Members Of Council insisted that II
this were put into the charter It
would array the strict law enforce
ment element against the charter and
hazard its chances of passage. So il
was made a separate issue.
Recorder Broyles is shorn Of some
of his power but the charter has
passed into the realm Of yellow, musty
leaves
Mayor Woodward commented that
this last matter didn't matter one
way or the other.
Recorder Broyles never reaches his
maximum limit while l am Mayor"
said the Mayor THE Mayor has the
pardoning power in cases where the
sentences are 80 days or over aGd the
fines $50 or over Recorder Broyles
never fines more than $40 now nor
sentences more than 90 DAYS"
Everybody is surprised at the re-
sult-but there are bigger surprises
coming.
