TOLL EXEMPTIONS
FOUGHT BY SLAYDEN
Wants AL Receipts to Go Toward
Payment Of Expenses Of
Panama Canal.

Support Of the Presidents announced
policy for repeal Of the toll exemption
clause in the Panama canal act was given
day afternoon by Representative Slayden
of Texas. who used a quotation OF Col.
Goethals as a text.

great engineering enterprise. says: 7
know little about the legal questions IN
volved in the tolls problem, but I have
always been opposed to toll exemptions
for coastwise shipping. I want all the
money we can get for the canal
Tolls for Expenses.
That. am pleased to say, has been
my attitude from the beginning. I have
always believed that traffic through ca
nal built by all the taxpayers and dedi-
Gated by them to commerce in general
should pay the ordinary charges for its
passage through the canal I do not be-
lieve, and never have. that there should
be exemptions on any traffic that passes
through the canal.
"Fof a long time the canal will not be
seif.supporting. Deficiencies in the cost
Of operation win have to be made up by
appropriations out Of the Treasury, which,
Of course, n. sat the expense OF all the
taxpayers even those who have no direct
benefit from the commerce through the
canal. 90 -
"fn order that that deficiency may be as
smsll q poSgibde we must have that share
Of the receipts from c0astwise shipping
which some gentlemen have wanted to do
without Coastwise shipping Is law
made monopoly and entitled to no more
favors at the expense OF the people.
Attitude Of President.
TN this measure Of reform we have the
support Of the President OF the United
States. who has brought the weight Of
his great ONCE and name to the support
Of those who are endeavoring to change
the Panama law which exempted coast
wise shipping from thetpayment of tolls
The President wants the country to keep
its agreements made In solemn treaties.
and dare say he also wants the cost Of
maintaining the canal fairly assessed
against all the shipping which benefits

TT is generally believed in Washington
that Congress will reverse itself on this
question and that the Panama canal law
will be amended so that all traffic will
pay the reasonable tax which is to be
assessed against commerce passing
through the canal"

THE SKIN OF COURSE TEXTURE

'<what will contract ugly. gaping pores 2'' is the constant query of mN sex, both. young and old The great secret lies in using common sense of the blood and tone up the flac- cid skin.
 The idea is to set the glands and blood vessels about their business, so the skin will refine itself. It is when one's internal mechanism is out of order that the skin grows to look coarse and pitted.
 One of the ways to correct a case of enlarged pores is to drink quanti- ties of cool water, for if the kidneys are kept in perfect health, skin con diti ong will rapidly improve. Do not most effective. and this you will see if you but give it a fair trial. Sup pose you begin this very day drink ing two glassfuls of water half an hour before breakfast and half an hour before lunch and dinner. Fin ally, an hour before you seek the arms of Morpheus, drink two more glassfuls of clean, cool water. This will make two quarts of liquid which is all that any one needs 70 keep the Kidneys and the digestive and eliminattve organs in good cendi- ton.
 It is also essential for tnei woman with a coarse grained skin to eat an abundance of fruit, as 1t helps to keep the digestive organs on their good behavior. Such fruit as oranges. apples and figs will be most helpful in making an ugly. pitted skin realize the error of it's ways.
 It is hardly necessary for me to say that it ts of the highest Importance that the skin should be kept inn maculateIy clean. Do not be afrai a to scrub and SCOUT your face several times a day as this is the ideal way to obtain skin Of beautiful texture.
 Friction with a soft towel or hand kerchief will do much for the skin
