Everyone has a beautiful skin under
meath the one exposed to view. Bear that
in mind and II will be easier to understand
the correct principle in acquiring a love
ly complexion. Nature is constantly shedS
ding the top skin in fiaky particles like
dandruff, only much smaller in size. In
abnOCmal conditions. or in advancing age,
these particles are not shed as rapidly as
in robust youth The longer they re-
main the more soiled and faded they be
come-that's the immediate cause Of a
bad complexion"
1t has been discovered that ordinary
mercoliZed wax. to be had at any drug
store, will absorb these wornout parti-
cles. The absorption, while Fastening
Natures work, goes on gradually enough
to cause no Inconvenience. In a week or
two the transformation Is complete. The
fresh healthy-hued. youthful underskin
Is then wholly In evidence. You who are
not satisfied with your compilations
should get an ounce OF mercolized wax
and try this treatment. Use the wax

THE REV. c. A. OLIVER
 PASSES IN JACKSON
Priest in Charge of St. Peter's Sue cumbs Rather Suddenly Sunday
 From Bright's Disease

Jackson. Miss, July 27.-tSpecial. 1.-The Rev c. A. Oliver, in charge of St. Peter s Catholic church in this city during the past IS years, died at the Baptist hos pital this morning at 3:30 o'clock.
 Father Oliver was born near West .Toint Clay county, May l, 1857. and de- eteiirined on the priesthood while still in his teens and attending schoo! in Kentucky. After seven or eight years in Rome he returned to his native state in 1883, Icing assigned to the Catholic church at Holly Springs. where he re- mained two years. His next charge was at Vicksturg. and from there he went to the gulf coast where he remained eight years before coming to Jackson.
 Two weeks or more ago Father Oliver was taken seriously i'll with Bright's dis ease. but Saturday morning he appeared so much brighter that 1t was determined on the suggestion of the bishop to take him to New Orleans for further treat mept. However, before the day was over realized that the end was very near. His brother and othei relatives remained with Jim throughout the day and night and unto the end, which came shortly be- fore daylight.
 The funeral services will be held Tues day morning at St. Peters. beginning at 9:3O o'clock, Bishop John Gum of Nc tchez officiating, and assisted by sev- eral priests. lnterment will be at Green wood cemetery.

Interesting Question Will Not be Settled in Jack

 While the average citizen of the town favors the concerts and sees no kind of hahn in them. the ministers are divided on the subject. The majority of the min- istcrs see all sorts of evil in the propo- sition, declaring sacred concerts the en- teijng wedge for a wide-open Sunday in Jackson. and secured a promise from Mayor Taylor to stop them. Meantime those in favor of the concerts appealed to the district attorney and that official says the mayor is without authority u ere being nothing unlawful in the sa- cred concerts.

IMPRISONMENT FOR DISSIPATION FROM THE
 NAVY IS ABOLISHED
Daniels Issues Revolution ary Order-To Dismiss Offenders From Service
 HencefOrward

Washington. July 27.-Aholition of im- prisonment for desertion from the navy in times of peace was ordered today by Secretary Daniels. Bluejackets who now overstay their leave or commit similar breaches of discipline will be dismissed while men who become dissatisfied and want to quit may have an honorable dis chage by merely refunding certain enlist ment allowances.
 This radical reform has been under con- sideration by the secretary since he came into office. He announced today that the navy now had practically full uuoto. Sl,S4S enlisted men, compared with short age of more than 4000 Is months ago. and that the time to take the step had come.
 Secretary Daniels, in statement an- nouncfng the new order said. Enlist ments in the navy always have been for a definite period-at present four years and it always has been difficult, at times impossible, for men to terminate their contract of enlistment by honorable dis charge before the enlistment expired Ab- sence from his ship or duty after having been granted leave, made a man a de- serter and conviction involved a prison sentence
 After thorough consideration and after referendum in which the opinion of many of the highest officers. were ob- tained, the secretary became convinced this. situation was not in keeping with modern business ideas
 The old plan involving long imprison- ment created among enlisted men a feel ing that during their term of enlistment II they desired to leave the navy. they were as If in bondage. Furthermore this feeiing doubtless in large measure accounted for more absence over leave or absence without leave, and other of- lenses which would never be tolerated In any well organized business
 The secretary recognizes that the navy Is In time of peace large business or ganization, that any feeling by enlisted men of compulsory detention or bondage IS undesirable, that the service offers so many advantages. especially to those de- siring to make of it life work or secure practical education, that 1t can Keep fully recruited with men who are willing to obey and the department, there fore holds that overstayed leave, drunk enness and similar offenses indicate mere ly that the offender Is unfit for the service.
 Tn order not to be too dra stic. the order permits commanding officers, to hold first offender on probation on reduced pay for periods of six months or 12 months. but on repeating the offense he is to be discharged
 'The naval prisons and naval barracks last year cost about s1. 100000. Under the new plan this cost will be greatly re- duced. and before great while will be very small'
