association rooms, SO the finance com
mittee have been trying to contrive
some plans whereby we could meet al
our expenses and not be before the
public all the time.
Now our plans are these: We want
396 people to assist US in our work
this year.
First, we want twelve big hearted
generous men to represent the months
OF the year, one for each month.
Second, we want forty-eight $500
membership women to represent the
weeks, one for each week.
Third, we want 336 one dollar mem
bers to represent the days.
The duty of the year 1914 will be
represented by the chairman of the
finance committee. her duty will be
to oversee the whole plan OF the
year; the duty Of each month will be
To give us a good, liberal donation !;
the duty of each week will be to col.
Ilect from their days their 800 mem
bership dues, and the duty OF the days
will be to each get new members,
and II the merchants who have go
kindly assisted US In the past, will
continue to do so, we can finance the
" W. c. A. successfully and be q
power for good in the city. This
plan means only little work for 39f
members instead OF having the mem
bers Of the finance and membership
committees do It all
Will you help us in this and see II
Gods blessings Will not be given you
az well as the association. We have
! figured out this plan, and IL carried
out successfully, we can meet al
expenses. Will you help US to do it.
At the end Of each month the week:
and days tog ether with the new mem
bers will enjoy some social session
either a supper, kensington or music
! ale
| With Miss Dinsdale as our new sec
rotary, and Miss Nutting as the new
| physical director, we are expectins
great results for the work of the year
A few statistics to show you the work
we are doing: The membership fol-
the year, September, 1913, to Septem.
Der, 1914, is 936. The number in the
gym classes is 1870; in the domestic
science, 30: sewing class, IL; French
class, IA; German, 10; commercial
class, II; also other classes for the
seniors; log camp fire girls: % Bible
class.
This will give you an idea how much
the building is used During the
month OF August, 1913. 10000 people
used this building. The number OF
meals served in the cafeteria for the
year is 46,341. 1t is a great work we
are trying to do and we need your
support.

Home Complexion
Peeler Works Wonders

To keep the face, neck, arms and
hands truly beautiful and youthful in
appearance, the treatment which
seems most sensible Is one which will
actually remove the skin itself imme-
diately it begins to age, fade, coarsen
or discolor. The only known treat
ment which will do this, aside from q
painful, expensive surgical operation,
is the application OF ordinary mer-
colized wax. which is as harmless as
it is effective.
The wax is put on at night. just as
you apply cold cream, and washed of
in the morning. It absorbs the dead
and half-dead surface skin in almos;
invisible faky particles. little each
day, no discomfort being experienced.
With the disappearance Of the old
cuticle, the newer. healthier skin un-
derneath gradually appears, richly
beautiful with the flush of youth.
This mercolized wax, which you can
get at any drug store in original
package. is indeed veritable won
der-worker.

Wages Meant to be Earned.

Perhaps the suggestion OF time clocks
for congress seems highly ridiculous
to congressman, but 1t doesn't seem
more so than the system Of paying a
man $500 year who drops in to
work between times when personal
interests, chautauqua contracts and
pleasure seeking are not pressing.
Some old fashioned persons imagine
that wages are to be earned whether
their recipient is day laborer or a

One Hundred Injured in Riot

here yesterday in riot that resulted
when twenty-five policemen attempt
ed to aid Edward Swanson, the sheriff
in carrying out the order OF Judge
W. A. Funk of the circuit court that
the Rev. Stanilius Gruza be placed in
charge of St. Casimir's Polish Roman
Catholic church.
The mob was composed of about
two thousand men and women and at,
ter fighting two hours they succeeded
in blocking the efforts of Father Cru.
"a to take possession of the church.
Father Gruza was transferred to the
parish a year ago, but the parishioners
refused to accept him. The members
of the six hundred families in the par.
ish took charge of the church, barred
the doors and windows and petitioned
the bishop for the district to assign
them another priest. This was refused
and the matter taken into the circuit
court, where Judge Funk ordered the
sheriff to place Father Gruza in
charge of the. church.
Early yesterday the sheriff, a dep
uty and the priest drove to the church
but were Immediately surrounded and
the police were called upon for aid
Twenty-Five officers were sent to the
church and the doors broken open
The angry parishioners then charged
the officers and they fought in the
street.
The fire department was called to
aid the police, but was unable to help
as the members OF the mob surround
ed the wagons and threatened to cut
the hose. Father Gruza watched the
fight from house two blocks away

mission bill pending in both branches
OF congress and to frame an entirely
new measure, may result in further

antitrust legislative program.
Thus far the senate and house in
terstate commerce committees have
net been cooperating in consideration
OF the trade commission proposal,
the senate committee having under
consideration for amendment the orig.
inal Trade Commission bill drafted
by the house judiciary subcommittee.
: Senator Newlands and his col
leagues have conferred with the
President on that measure and now
are engaged in perfecting it. Juris-
.diction in the house as to the trade
commission having been transferred
from the judiciary to the interstate
commerce committee, Representative
Adamson has appointed subcommit-
tee to draft another bill on the same
subject.
Thus the house eventually will have
under consideration one measure,
while senators are at work on an
other, unless influences are brought
to bear to have the committees CO.
operate in their deliberations before
the revised measures are reported.
President Wilson may be appealed
to in the interest >of harmony and ex-

said to believe that the country ex-
poets and is awaiting early action on
rust regulation, and to feel that all |
relating to the powers of

DOCTORS DISCUSS
SEVERAL CHANGES
recommendations Concerning Board
Of Health Will be Made Fol-
lowing Meeting.

Following meeting at the Indus
trial Association last night which was
attended by the physicians Of the city,
communications will be made in the
future for some changes in the city
health department rules, and jurisdic-
ton. Nothing drastic is proposed. the
recommendations will simply en-
deavor to bring about cooperation and
harmony between the department and
the city physicians, it Is believed.
4 The doctors gathered in the Office of
the association and the discussion was
informal and general. Practically all
OF the physicians of the city were
present. Dr. G. A. Dimond, city physi-
clan, was present and took leading
part in the discussion relative to the
department in which he is working.
The matter of cooperation between
the doctors and the health department
was one of the topics which was dis
cussed and which may be heard from
further. The question OF limited au-
thority on the part Of the health de-
partment and the city physicians, al
SO was taken UP by the committee on
health and hygiene. The committee
has taken up the question of water and
sanitation in the city, previously.
The recommendations which will
be made along these lines will not be
drastic ones" was the comment made
by one of the men who attended the
meeting last night.
The question of quarantine and the
new state health board laws were in
a general way taken up.
