SWEATING AT ARMPITs
and UNPLEASANT DOORS
Women Using This Liquid Can Wear
Finest Dresses Without Fear of
Respiration Running
Them.

1t is no longer necessary for women
to suffer embarrassment because of ex-
cessive perspiration at armpits or to be
annoyed by the offensive odor accom-
panying this condition. because In Milo
dox is found new and positive remedy
for this humiliating affection.
Nilodox is scientifically perfect rem
edy. 1t is not an unsanitaryr pore-clog-
ging powder, nor mussy, disagreeable
ointment, but an odorless liquid, highly
antiseptic-powerful as a deodorant, yet
mild and harmless to the skin. Nilodox
is applied to the skin with soft CLOTH
whether at armpits or on the feet. 1t is
immediate in its effects because it slim
ulates the weak, fiabby sweat glands
reduces them to their normal size-gives
to them the strength and energy to re-
sist the forces which compel them to
throw off this unnatural amount of per-
spiration.
Nilodox viii correct the most severe
case of excessive sweating after a very
few applications, and when the perspir.
alton is normal the odor win entirely
disappear. Niiodox makes it possible for
every woman using 1t to discard the un-
slightly. uncomfortable dress shields and
wear the daintiest colored dresses with
out fear Of sweating out at the armholes
or staining in any way or running expen-
sive Innings or lingerie. You owe it to
yourself. to your friends. to Danish this
profuse perspiration and offensive odor,
and the quickest. surest way to do it is
to use Nilodox, which is for Gale by
Affieck Drug Co.

MERIT GOVERNS CoNsULATEs.
state Secretary Gives Cold Comfort
10 Political Associates.

The merit system is TO be preserved in
tine Consular Service. Secretary of State
Bryan today made the following state
ment at the request of the President.
THE civil service laws, by an executive
issued June q, 1906, extend to the Con-
sular Service, and the President is en-
tirely in sympathy with the purpose
which the order was intended to SUBJ
serve. He believes that the consular ap-
pointments should be made upon exam
nation, and that promotion should be
made upon merit Il vacancies occur,
they will be filed from the service, where
this can be done without injury to the
service. If a vacancy occurs in one of the
higher positions and he does not at the
time find within the service aSperson en-
tirely qualified to fill such position, he
will feel at liberty to exercise the right
vested in him to suspend the executive
order in respect to that particular -ap-
pointment, but such an appointment will
be an exception to the rule, and will be
made only when he is convinced that the
good of the service clearly requires such
an exception
