or 16 months. Still some of them will
not have done overmuch for the $500
a year and perduisites which the gov
eminent allows senators and repre-
sentatives.
But again it would be a relief if
somebody would start something. 1t
is proverbial that the energy of Con-
gress as a collective body oozes out
as session progresses. No good sto-
ries are told. although the old stories
are perpetrated with less frequency.
Individuals have gotten the work for
their districts done. The seeds are
all distributed. The season when con-
stituents come to town, at excursion
rates, is past and it should be remem-
bered that the procession of important
people coming to town makes much of
the life and the interest at Washing
ton. The committees slow up, indeed,
after the first three or four months of
the session cease altogether. Then
there is nothing but the eternal pro-
gram of floor proceedings, which no.
body cares much for any longer. Not
many years ago, Congressional de-
bate was accounted good newspaper
reading. 1t is not any more. The Con-
gressmen are not up to making 1t in
teresting. People are too wise and
too well informed to be entertained
that way. 1t is doubtful whether the
debates are as intellectual as they used
to be. Any way, the information and
the arguments have reached the peo-
pie of the country in advance. What
the congressman has to say about
things does not count so much. He
does not blaze the way for the cross
roads thinkers as mech as he used to.
Look soon for the coast guards. all
up and down the Atlantic seaboard;
all up and down the Pacific coast and
out around the islands. Congress is pro-
ceeding toward new service. The
Senate has just authorized it and now
it is up to- the House. In time OF
war the coast guards, with ships and
men, would be under the secretary
of the navy and a part Of the navy
service. In time of peace they would
be under the secretary of the treasury,
as the revenue cutter service and the
| life saving service now are.

For Freckled, Rough
or Spotty Compilations

The freckling, discoloring or roughening
to which delicate skins are subject af-
ter exposure to wind or sun, often APP
pearing in early spring, may readily be
gotten rid of. Mercolized wax, spread
lightly over the face before retiring and
removed In the morning with soap and
water, completely peels off the disigured
skin. Get an ounce of the wax at any
druggists. There's no more effective
way of banishing freckles or other Gu
taneous defects. Little skin particles
come off each day, so the process doesn't
even temporarily mar the complexion,
and one soon acquires brand new, spot
less, girlishly beautiful face.
Wrinkles caused by weather, worry or
Illness, are best treated by a simple So
luton of powdered saXolite, / o., dis
solved in 1 pit. witch hazel. Bathing the
face in this produces a truly marvellous
ransformation.-Adv.

BERLIN. Dec 5.-The "Berlnder

skat, poker and pinochle players of
Germany to send in all winnings to

says, in part:
Many of us In these days seek an
hours rest and recreation in card
game; We flee to the card table to
escape political arguments and to re-
heve, at least temporarily, our mind
from grief and sorrow. But we should
place even this sort of entertainment
In the service of the Fatherland.
Therefore, we appeal to all card
players to place the winnings at the
disposition of those who have the re-
lief of the soldiers wives and children
and OF the jobless in their charge"
