In France mothers and daughters
look like sisters. How are the women
there able to retain their youthful
looks until long past middle age? Is it
because they are much given to the
use of mercolized wax? This wax
possesses a remarkable absorbent
property which quickly removes the
fine particles of cuticle which are
constantly dying and which are the
immediate cause of an old-looking
complexion. Thus the livelier, health

April 13.

The executive committee of the In

Der of propositions at their meeting
this morning. Several industrial pro-
j.cts were taken up and talked over,
and there was a great amount of rou-
tine business to be gotten out of the
way. The committee decided to ask
the repres antatives in congress from
Iowa to assist in the Illinois Michigan
canal fight A committee Of three
was also named to arrange for meet
ing the Southeastern Kansas boosters
On tn cir trip here April 10.
A communication was received from
the greater Davenport committee
which asked the local association to
apply to Congressman Kennedy and
Senators Kenyon and Cummins for
f.Seral action in the matter OF tie
Injunction suit which IS now before
tie federal courts in Illinois, by which
certain interests are attempting to
enjoin the use Of the Illino's-Michigan
crnal which connects the Henrep:n
and the Chicago drainage.
This fight has been wageG' in Illi-
nois through the courts there. A
man by the name of Burke is endeav
oring to secure the injunction. In
the fight the canal has been allowed.
to deteriorate The use OF the canal
would give deep waterways connec-
ton from the lakes to the gulf and
1t is sac, special interests like the
railroads are nghting the project.
Since the matter is now a federal
issue and since Iowa will be effect ed
in the result, the Davenport body is
asking aid OF the organizations in the
state on this fight.

were noted all over Europe as keep

Paris is amazed at the thorough
democracy Of the Thacakaras; it Is
also charmed. The colony is saying
that America has never had here a
more democratic representative. At
the same time the Thackaras main
tain this position with the greatest of

made big hit here.

BORDEAUX HAS ASPECT

TBy Latest NALL

1 PARIS.-Bordeaux, the city to which
the French government has been re
moved, has the aspect OF royal seat
of government rather than republican.
II resembles Versailles. The desire to
build grandoise city is in evidence.
The streets are broad, the squares spa
cious and the buildings of large pro-
portion, yet the 25a.g0o inhabitants of
the city are insufficient to give it the
appearance of a populace center. Bor-

During the fighting Of August 20
and "a the French General Sordet was
earnestly requested to cooperate, but
owing to the tired condition OF his
horses was not able to give General
French any support until after the
most critical day OF August rs, when
the enemy threw the bulk of his
strength against the left Of the posi-
ton occupied by the I'd Corps and the
4th Division. This niaie II impossible

General French says:
There had been no time to intrench
the position properly, but the troops
showed a magnificent front to the ter.
rible fire which Confronted them. The
artillery, although unmatched by at
least four to one, made a splendid fight
and inflicted heavy losses on their op.
ponents.
At length 1t became apparent that
if complete humiliation was to be
avoided retirement must be attempted,
and the order was given to commence
it about $3.50 in the AFTERNOON The
movement was covered with most de.
voted intrepidity and determination by
the artillery, which had itself suffered
heavily, and the fine work done by
the cavalry, in the further retreat from
the position, assisted materially the
final completion of this most difficult
and dangerous operation. Fortunately
the enemy had himself suffered too
heavily to engage in an energetic pur-
suit -. s
