spread on enough to completely cover
your face: remove in the morning with
warm water. Repeat daily until every
freckle has disappeared.
Rough. blotchy, pimpied skin, also
common at this season, may be en-

without discomfort or inconvenience.
The effort is decidedly worth while.

FIRST MARTYR OF
THE M|L|TANTS
Woman Who fried to Stop the
Kings Horse Dead.
NOTED FOR DARING FEATs.


London. Emily Wilding Dawson,
the first martyr to the militant ef-
forts of women to obtain the suf-
frage, died at the Epson Hospital,
as the result of a fracture OF the
skull sustained in an attempt to stop
the Kings horse Anmer during the
running Of the Derby last week.
A few moments before her death
two comrades draped the screen sur
rounding the cot with the fateful col
ors Of the Women's Social and Po-
iitical Union, which she wore when
she made her sensational attempt to
interfere with the great classic of the
British turf
Miss Dawson had evidently ex-
pected to gain the track at Tattenham
Corner in time to intercept and scat
ter the field, but was detained mo-
ment by spectator, who tried to re-
strain her. She reached the track
In time to be struck by the Kings
horse, which was running in the ruck.
The woman turned complete somer-
Bault, coming down across the legs Of
Jockey Jones, who had been left prone
and unconscious after the fall OF his
mount. She struck on her head, and
1t was believed at first that her thick
hair had saved her from more than
concussion, but a later examination
showed a fracture Of the base of the
skull An operation was performed,
but the case was hopeless.
Miss Dawson was noted for her
daring feats in behalf Of militancy.
One Of her earliest exploits was to
barricade herself in a cell, and she
was only subdued with the aid OF a
fre horse. On another occasion she
cast herself down a flight Of stairs in
