The Real Cause of
Most Bad Compilations

1t is a stern fact that no truly beauti-
full complexion ever came out OF Jars or
bottles: the longer one uses cosmetics the
worse the complexion becomes. Skin, TO
be healthy, must breathe. 1t also must
expel through the pores, its share OF the
bodys effete material. Creams ana pow
ders clog the pores, interfering both with
elimination and breathing. Ii more wo-
men understood this, there would be
fewer self-ruined complications. Ii they
would use ordinary mercolized wax IN
stead of cosmetics, they would have nat
ural, healthy compilations. This remark,
able substance actually absorbs bad
skin, also unclogging the pores. Result:
The fresher, younger under-skin IS per-
mitted to breathe and to show itself. An
exquisite new complexion gradually peeps
out one free from any appearance OF ar
tificiality. Get an ounce of mercollzed
wax at your druggists and try it. Apply
nightly like cold cream, for week or so,
washing ii off mornings.
To eradicate wrinkles, here's a marvel
ously effective treatment which also acts
naturally and harmlessly: Dissolve OF;
powdered saxolite in } pit. witch hazel
and use as a wash lotion.-Adv.

SMOOTHING OUT

Lewiston, Me-, April S-Congress-

his wires for another campaign in this
district and, if current rumors have

out the sorest spot first-the Hines

that William H. Hines, whom the
Morey crowd so recently tried in vain
to down, has been offered the position
Of United States marshal by Con-
gresham McGillicuddy and Senator
Johnson.
The Office is within the patronage of
these Maine Democratic members of
Congress and the offer is construed as
the overtures of peace for the coming
congressional campaign.

that no official notification of such
action has been made to me-

in Departure
for Brazil of Caillaiux,
Friend of Germany
BY the United Press

LONDON, Nov. 16.-Despite official
~ permitted explanations that Joseph
CaillaiuX, eX-premier of France. has
departed FOR Brazil to arrange for
purchase of foodstuffs and clothing
that formerly were obtained by
France in Austria and Germany. the
belief was strong here today that
more is behind the affair than appears
on the surface. Caillaiux is accom-
panied by his wife, recently acquitted
OF the murder of CASTOR Calmette, ed
itor of Figaro
Throughout discussions of the de-
parture of CaillaiuX from France at
such a crisis in his country's history
are repeatedly heard mention of in
timations which came out at the trial
of the former premier. II is remem-
bered that statesmen of Germany
have termed CaillaiuX as "Germanys
best friend in France" Less than ten
days ago the appearance of Caillaiux
with his wife on the streets of Paris
brought forth demonstrations from
the populace, in which cries of Ger
man SPY" were heard. During his
wifes trial it was frequently limited
that Caillafux failed to exhibit his
customary firmness in combating
German demands during the settle
ment of the Moroccan question.

M. P.'s Urge Appointment
of Committee to Danish
German Spies from England
nv the Associated Press.

LONDON, Nov. l6.-SeVeral inter-
views with members of Parliament
demanding the appointment of a
committee of public safety TO take
necessary measures TO prevent any
further mischief from German spies,
are published here today.
William Jaynson- Hicks. member
for Brantford. said: THE present
authorities are complacent, almost
frivolous. in dealing with the ques-
ton. That the whole coast should
be cleared of all foreigners is un-
doubted. There probably are many
spies among the Belgian refugees
and even in the recruits for the new
army"
The Daily Express says: The spy
at present is able to be serviceable
because it is nobody's business to
deal with them. Three government
departments are commemorative war
office, the home office and the ad-
miralty-and the result is inaction-
hesitation and all manner of mis-
chief. There should be a committee
of safety directly responsible to Par
lament and the people"
