VERA CRUZ, April 25.-The poor
poems of Vera Cruz, accustomed only
ITO abuse and virtual slavery. cannot
understand the Americans. They can
not understand how the American
marines and blue jackets can shoot
and kill one day and then feed, Shelf
err and nurse their enemies the next.
It was mainly the poems who so
persistently kept up the sniping of
Americans from the house tops on
Tuesday and Wednesday. But now
they are being cared for. Extreme
measures have been taken to make
| the city in which they live, sanitary in
every respect.
Refugees waiting last night for
were fed by the American troops.
While they eagerly ate the food sup
piled for them and contemplated flight,
one of the ships bands entertained
them by playing Get Out and Get
Under"
Mexicans crowded in the cafes last
night, laughing and chattering. The
marine band played on the plaza.
while laughing crowds of the upper
! classes promenaded and cowed reons
looked on, their eyes fairly bullying
with wonder at this sight of peace
within so few hours after the dead
and dying had Uttered the streets.
The main work now before the
American forces was administrative

days.
Despite the general appearance OF
peace, Rear Admiral Fletcher still
warns Americans against appearing
on the streets at nights. He has ad
vised all to remain in hotels OF
aboard the ships. The Mexican pa
Ipers have resumed publication and
carry lurid and exaggerated accounts
of the taking of the city.
There is an under current of caustic
bitterness and yelled hints Of Mexican
resentment in the stories published.
| The exchange rate is rapidly rising
and a peso is now worth only forty
cents. The price of all food stuff is
increasing daily.

How to Shed a Rough,
Chapped or Blotchy Skin

This is what you should do to shed a
bad complexion: Spread evenly over the
face, covering every inch OF skin, a thin
layer OF ordinary mercolized wax. Let
this stay on over night, washing it of
next morning. Repeat daily until your
complexion is as clear, soft and beautiful
as a young girls. This result is newt
able, no matter how sOiled or withered
the complexion. The wax literally alb
serbs the filmy surface skin, exposing the
lovely young skin beneath. The process
is entirely harmless, so little Of the old
skin coming off at a time. NIercolized
wax is obtainable at any drug store; one
ounce usually suffices. It's a veritab BILE
wonder worker for rough, chapped, red
dened, blOtchy, plmple, freckled or Sallow
skin.
Pure powdered saxolite is excellent for
a wrinkled skin. An ounce Of it dissolved
in a half-pint witch hazel makes a re-
freShing wash lotion. This renders the
skin quite firm and smooth; indeed. the
very first application erlseS the finer lines /:
the deeper ones soon follow. Advt.

OSSINING. n. Y, Dec. 2.-Here
are a few of the observations ex-
pressed publicly by Thomas Mott Os-
borne at the conclusion of his first
day as warden of Sing Sing prison:
THE cells in the siX-tier block must
go. They are not fit habitations for
pigs. They are damp and productive
of disease. especially of tuberculosis.
The coffee served the prisoners is
the vilest stuff l ever tasted. 1 tried
10 drink some, but had to take cocoa.
There is not work enough to go
around. / think the best way will be
to put the men on two-hour shifts
and allow them opportunity for ath-
letic exercise in addition.
II am going to allow the prisoners
TO talk. l think the policy of silence
is diabolical II is as bad as the dark
cell treatment which has been aban-
doned at the demand Of an outraged
civilization. Before I leave the prison
