Mann ACT FOUND
BLACKMAILER AID
Result of Investigations BY
Government Officials Likely
to Change Statute.
TO PREPARE AMENDMENT
Instances Discovered Where Men
Have Been Trapped Into Paying
Large Sums Of Money.

Washington. d. c., March "a
Amendment OF the Mann white slave
law probably will be recommended
by the department of justice as re-
suit OF the operations OF blackmailers
in all parts OF the country.
Evidence that the law is being used
for Matchmaking purposes has been
presented to the department in such
quantities that the various federal dis
trict attorneys are to be allowed the
widest discretion as to the advisable
ity OF prosecuting complaints under
the act until IL is amended so as to
limits its application to commercial
vice.
Under prosecutions so far the law
has turned out to be a one-sided af-
IRENE penalty and the woman. even
If she IS willingly guilty, goes free.
As a result of this. many men trap
per into violation of the law have
paid blackmail to escape prosecution.
Recently the department discover
ed in a large city a clique of seven
women who enticed men across
nearby state line and then threatened
TO prosecute them under the Mann
act.

In another instance a man paid
blackmail for some months and then
was met with a demand for a large

cred the local district attorney to get
the state authorities to prosecute the
woman on the charge OF blackmail.
Many other similar incidents have
been called to the departments at
tention and as result prosecutions
will be made in the future only where
the man unquestionably guilty of
violating the intent of the law. If
the element of blackmail enters 1t will
be the duty of the district attorney
to weigh the culpability of the two
persons and then proceed according
ly.

Queen Eleonora of Bulgaria.

Sofia, March 24-The United States
is soon to be honored by visit from
! Queen Eleonora of Bulgaria. Ac
companied by an extensive suite she
will arrive in America about the mid
die of May and make a six or eight
weeks tour of the country.
The queens visit is explained in
part by the deep interest which she
and King Ferdinand have always had
in the United States. an interest
which had ben strengthened by the
close association OF the king and
queen with the American doctors
who were in charge of the Bulgarian
hospitals during the war.
In visiting the United States at
this time she is actuated by a two
fold purpose. In the first place she
hopes to counterfeit any antagonism
to Bulgaria which may have result
ed from the late Balkan wars and to
show that the Bulgarians are not
such barbarians as they are painted.
Secondly, she hopes the visit will
have the effect of informing Ameri
cans as to Bulgaria's needs and
wishes and enlist American sympa-
thy with the aspirations of Bulgaria
to creditably maintain a place among
the nations of Europe.
a further purpose of the queen is
to gain information that will aid in
solving the social and economic prob
lens of Bulgaria.
Queen Eleonora will be the first
reigning sovereign to visit the United
States. She is known all over Europe
as the royal nurse" OF regal COM
handing appearance, she is every
inch a queen. In the Russo-Japanese
and the Balkan wars she not only
directed others, but worked herself
in bandaging wounds.
Queen Eleonora was a princess of
Reuss, lower branch. She is about
fifty-four years of age, and is the
second wife of King Ferdinand, whom
she married in 1908.

ton in the scalp and induce the hair
to grow thick and long.
| Mrs. AL: Your excess fat will soon
vanish after short course Of the
parnotis treatment, made by getting
ounces parnotis from your druggist
| and dissolving in ! Il pints hot water.
The dose is tablespoonful before
meals. This gradually dissolves the
ia. and when your weight is sufic-
iently reduced your skin will be firm
and FREQ from wrinkles. No diet or
exercise is necessary, as it cannot
possibly do any injury.
Mrs. S. t.: To make your eyes
sparkle I would suggest using simply
crystos tonic which IS inexpensive
and easily prepared. Just dissolve
ounce crystos in pint cold water
and it is ready. Putting few drops
in each eye frequently soon relieves
the smart and ache and will give to
them a sparkle and expressiveness
truly charming. This is excellent for
weak eyes.
X. O.: Your dull, streaky hair In
dictates an impoverished condition OF
the scalp and hair-roots. l am giving
you a simple recipe, which II you
make up and use, will Danish your
scalp troubles and make your mar
grow thick, silky and fluffy. GET
from your druggist 1 ounce quinzoin'
pour into II pint alcohol, then add y
pint water. Massage the scalp once
or twice a week. This stops the III
tation and overcomes dandrun anu
puts your scalp and hair-roots In
healthy, vigorous condition.

| Mary: l have found that face
powder clogs the pores and causes
that rough, scaiy condition of your
skin. Make up and use this inexpen-
sive lotion and you will be delighted
with the results: Dissolve 4 ounces
spurmax (Which you get at the drug
gists) in y pint hot water or witch
hazel After cleansing and drying the
skin, apply the spurmax lotion, rub
bling lightly, until it vanishes. This
lotion imparts clearness and velyety
softness to the skin and restores the
rose-tint of healthy maidenhood. The
spurmaX lotion is especially nice for
sallow, muddy oily skins and is SUI
perior to powder, as it is invisible
when on and will not rub OFF in patch
eS.
Annie L.: Powdered delatone is
the most effective thing of which 1
know for removing stubborn hairy
growth. Get an original package
and mix enough powder with water
to cover the hairs not wanted. APP
ply and in or minutes remove,
wash the skin and the hairs are gone.
This is a quick, harmless method
and seldom needs repeating. Be sure
it is delatone you get.
Belle s.: Your pain in the small
of the back, constant headaches and
loss of weight is the result of poison
laden blood Here is my formula for
an old-fashioned system-tonic which,
if taken regularly for a while, will re-
store you to perfect health: To u
pint alcohol (never use whiskey)
add L ounce kardene (get from your
druggist) then II cupful sugar and
hot water to make full quart. The
dose is tablespoonful three times a
day This is gentle in action, cleanses
the blood of all impurities and is
for clearing the skin of
discolorations and restoring the
healthy glow of youth to the COM
pleXion.
Mrs B.: Quite right! Your brittle,
falling hair is evidently caused by
washing with an alkali preparation.
Here is my way of cleansing scalp
and hair so both are kept in perfect
health: Dissolve a teaspoonful can
throx in a cup of hot water and pour
a little at time on the head while
rubbing briskly This works up into
a thick, creamy lather that stops irri-
tation and disolves every particle of
