rejuvenation who has learned how to
remove the dead skin particles as fast
as they appear. It's a secret anyone
may possess. The. aged, faded or dis
colored surface skin may be gradually
absorbed, in an entirely safe and ra-
tional manner, by the nightly appli-
cation of ordinary mercolized wax.
Within a week or two the underlyi ing
skin, youthful and beautiful to behold,
has taken the place of the discarded
cuticle. So little of the old skin Is
absorbed each day there's no inconven-
fence at. all. and no one suspects you
are putting anything on your face. The
mercolized wax, procurable at any
drugstore, Gan ounce is sufficient). is

"Maubeuge fell on September Z. The

The town suffered severely from the

CLEMENCEAU RAILS
AT HOSPITAL CARE
OF GERMAN WOUNDED
Bitter in Criticism of What
He Calls "Quixotic" Atti-
tude of Attendants, While
French Soldiers Bleed on
Battlehelds.

BORDEAUX, Sept. 19.-Georges Clemens
ceau's patriotism finds vent in an iron-
lcal criticism in his paper LHomme
Libre of the alleged quixotic attitude of
the hospital authorities toward the Gei-
man wounded in large numbers, espe-
cialiy toward their hospital assistants
who are allowed to accompany them. N.
Clemenceau says!
when / hear the question discussed
as to whether or not beds should be re-
served for the German nurses, while
our own are half dead from fatigue and
lie on mating in corridors I confess
that refrain from interfering with great
difficulty. The whole thing beats my
comprehension.
THE German wounded appear 10 be
free of any great suffering judging from
their appearance IN front OF bowls of
steaming coup, stuffing their fill, under
the surveillance of a bespectaeled major,
talking and joking in their hosrse gut
turals, which make our men squirrn as
they lie silently under blankets, and st
this moment say to myself:
"'How many of their comrades are
finishing our wounded on battlefields?'
There should be a limit to such stu-
pidity.
in the hospital under notice saw yes
terday smiling young miss offer cigars
and chocolate 10 wounded Germans BY
all means let us respect ana attend to an
enemy who has been wounded by our men

| pass our ruin. This is we'll and good. But
when one of our men seeing these deinties
| pass him asks sad,y: Then, is all for
these gentlemen? Is there nothing for
] us"' II does not seem right. The French
| soldier added 1T is little hard to give
/ ones life on the battlefield and then see
| those rewarded who tried to take it,
II invite the Government to reflect on
/ these words Of a French soldier.
ITO crown all, I learn that the be-

BRUSSELS FEARS FATE
SUFFERED By LOUVAlN
schoolhouses Filled With Straw
to Await Torch, Belgians Say.

iSCANDC-N, sept 10
A courier who arrived from Brussels
with dispatches says the Belgans expect
to see Brussels treated as Louvaiif-~E ~ Fl & 2
before the Germans evacuate the city.
He says all the important public build-
ings, including the Palais de Justice and
the largest and most imposing privats
residences, already have been mined by
the Germans as though to blow them up,
while schoolhOuses and many other build
ings are filed with straw ready for the
torch.
The courier also declares that the Ger
mans have mined all roads leading into
BRUSSELS but that the Bclgians think
they intend to make their principal stand
on the Namur-LieEe line, as the forts and
other defenses are being reconstructed
and the work is going on night and day.
The Germans also have been preparing
for strong defense on the ValenCiennes
line. According to the courier the Ger
mans now seem to be using Luxembourg
for their principal line OF communication
Tor their armies IN France.
