Paris. June 22.-The international
OLYMPIC congress today rejected a mo-
ton by Col. Robert M. Thompson OF
New York to allow in each track ana
field event IL entries and six con-
testants from each country. This was
supported by all the American dele
gates and by Sweden =.
The other countries objected to the
motion because SO large number OF
entries end contestants would. they
said. he too expensive for the smaller
countries to maintain and SEND TO the
Games, Col. Thompson urged countries
with large populations ought to nave
more representatives in order to give
them proportionally as great oppor-
tunfty for competition. Nevertheless
fhe congress voted favorably on the
motion of Franz Reichel of France. TO

Home Treatment for
Sallow, Wrinkled Skin
ks: What should 1 do fol

A. c. F. asks: WHAT should do for
my sallow complexion. and how can /
get rid Of my wrinkles?'
SallOwness is best removed by removing
the skin itself. This is effectively accom-
plished by the use Of ordinary mercolized
wax, which causes tho offensive outer
skin gradually to peel on. in fine par
tticles scarcely noticeable to the naked
eye. Within a week or so you will have
an enviable complexion, the new skin ex-
hibiting a healthful, youthful tint incom-
parable with artificial colorinG. Get an
ounce Of this wax at your drug store APP
ply at night like cold cream. only don't
rub 1t in. Wash 1t on in the morning
with warm water.
For your wrinkles try solution OF
powdered saxolite, 1 o., dissolved in u
pint witch hazel. Battle your face in this
every morning for a while. The result
will surprise you.-Beauty's Mirror.-Adv

STILL SEND MONEY.
Topeka Mexicans Have No Trouble I'm
Giving Away Money Orders.

Despite disordered conditions in Mex
leo. international money order business
IL being continued by the postoffice de-
partment as Usual and considerable
sums each week are sent from Topeka
by Mexicans who prefer to remit by
government money order to relatives in
homes south of the Rio Grande.
While 1t must be exceedingly doubt
ful If the Mexican postoffices in revolu-
tionary territory are in a position to
cash the orders for which money has
been deposited anywhere. no restriction
has been placed on the business by the
general postofffce in the United States.
From time to time complaints have
been brought to the Topeka Office that
orders purchased here could not be
cashed. but for the most part the orders
seem to be good in Mexico. It is more
than likely that the American post
Office order Is acceptable in Mexico
since It is to some extent negotiable
and can be transferred by the payee.
