position of the face creams suited to
them, for instance:
If lady with a well-nourished oily
skin, bought a skin food that would
still fatten her face, she'd be adding
fuel to the fire; likewise the reverse

with cream that had astringent prop

would grow worse, instead of better.

Americas to have typical New
York shop.
On the first of November, Miss Wini-
fred Widener fitted up suite of rooms
upstairs over Sparks Grocery store

hard the times will be, and after just
two weeks carefully considering the
situation she is thoroughly convinced

beautiful women land the surrounding
country of sister cities, as well,) will
heartily appreciate and patr0nize a
shop that affords as many facilities
and prepared to do as scientific work

Give to the world the best you have

Cast your bread upon the waters,
Far and wide your treasures strew,
Scatter it with willing fingers,
Shout for JOY to see it go!
You may think it will last forever
But as sure as God is true,
In this life or in the other,
1t will return to you"

troubles. Mrs. Widener will help you

the use of the Therapeutic lights, the
Farodic and Galvanic currents OF
Electricity and the beautiful healing
soothing and stimulating effects, she
derives from the pse Of Violet Ray Ma
chine, combined with her common
sense method of helping nature do her
work best, the aforementioned trou-
bles readily succumb to Mrs. Wideners

PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC ASSURES THE UNITED STATES THAT HIS COUNTRY IS ENJOYING PEACE IN ALL SECTIONS.
REPORTS IN PAPERS WRONG
LINES TO VERA CRUZ ARE KEPT IN OPERATION, HE SAYS, AND FRIENDLY FEELING IS EN- RETAINED FOR THE AMERl- CANS THERE

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 1& Provisional President Calranza has sent an official communication to the secretary of state, in which he asserts that Mexico is enjoying ab- solute peace, and that the reports to the contrary are misleading in the extreme.
 The communication from Presi- den CarranZa is in the form of q reply to note of inquiry sent to him by the state department. con cerning various articles seen in the public press.
 It is asserted by the provisional head of the Mexican government that there have been no uprisings in the republic since he took office. and that there is no organized opposi- tion to his rule He says that the newspaper reports, as he has seen them from American papers, are without foundation of any kind.
 The recently published report that the telegraph and railroad lines be- tween Mexico City and Vera Cruz had been closed, is positively denied by President Carranza, who further asserts that ho and hlS aSSoclateS entertain only the friendliest feeling for the Americans that are at Vera Cruz.
 According to the report received today from President Carranza by Secretary of State Bryan, there is total of 10000 men in the new Mexican army, and these are all in harmony with the new government there.
 It is further asserted that assur- ances of support have been recel"- ed by the new head of the Mexican government from almost all sections of tre country, and it is believed that conditions are more harmonious now than they have been for many wears.

Panama Canal To
 Be Kept Neutral

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept 13.- Approximations in some quarters that the canal would be the means of involving this country in difficulties because of the European war are not taken seriously by the officials here. It is recognized by Secretary Garrison and every one concerned that the maintenance of the strlc; neutrality of the canal might be- come difficult question under some circumstances, but the indica- tions, in the opinions of men most competent to judge, are that there will be no difficulty about it.
 Some things remain to be done to perfect the water way. The chan nel through the Culebra cut must be deepened and widened and a greater depth of water than thirty feet secured.

 Of Grapes This Year

ESCONDIDO, Calif Sept. 13,- A peculiar crop condition, general over all of California. confronts the grape industry this year, according to Williamson Dunn. travelling agent of the Santa Fe Refrigerator Dis patch company of Los Angeles, who was here in connection with the ship pings of the first of tEe muscatel grapes from, Escondido this season.

 The first crop was divided by a cool spell of weather that came while the small grapes were form ing. The condition adds to the eN- pense of picking, but prolonss the season and tends to make better prices

Russian Capital
 Has New Name
ST. PETERSBURG IS GERMAN so SlAVS CALL CITY
 PETROGRAD.

SEATTLE, Sept 13.-Petro- grad is the new name applied 10 St. Petersburg Russia, in many telegraphic dispatches since the war started. The reason for the change in the name of the capital of Russia as explained in European dispatches. is the fact that the name St Peters burg is of German origin. and the present hatred of the Rus sians for everything that is Ger man has prompted them to in sist on the use of another name for their capital city.
 The word "Petrograd,' is real ly the Russian, or Slav. name for the city. It means. accord ing to the information obtain able here. the city of Peter the Great
 The use of the name Petro- grad in Russian dispatcres is resulting in more or less con fusion, as some newspapers con tinue to use the term St. Peters burg, while others accept the Russian name altogether.

and it was planned to keep the armies intact. throughout the fight ing, and thus prevent one part of the German command from being separated from the rest.
 However, it was found that the transportation facilities that had been established by the Germans on the North through Sedan, were endang- cred and this caused the Germans to withdraw
 From what the allied armies can learn, the Germans have just been materially reinforced from Belgium and from Maubeuge, and their armies are now assuming a strategic posi- ton, the main strength being in the center. Therefore, if the inform. ation now in the hands of the al lied powers is correct. it is expect ed that the Germans will resume the offensive at once, and the al lied armies are preparing for stub born resistance.

 In First Division

JUNEAU, Sept. 13.-All the Demo cratic candidates in Southeastern Alaska and four of the non-parti- san candidates to the legislature have pledged their support for the candidacy of Charles E. Bunnell, Democratic nominee for delegate to congress- This is taken by Bun nell's friends as proof of his popu- larity, and his election, as far as the First division is concerned, is decidedly promising.
 So strong is Bunnell's support get ting here, that a former Wicker sham supporter declared today that Bunnell will get at least 200 major ty in Juneau alone.

GERMAN TRICK FEARED.

LONDON, England, Sept. 13.- Advices that have been received here from Paris are not as hope ful as those of the last few days, although the Germans are still re treating The Paris reports state that army experts are of the opinion that the German retreat is a trick, and there is fear expressed by them that the Germans will soon slow renewed strength.

GERMAN PLANS EXPOSED.

LONDON, Sept. 13.-Late tonight a statement was issued by the war office. which gives in some detail what is believed to be the condition of the Germans in front of Paris. This statement leaves the impression that the German retreat was due to the threatening of break in the communications with Germany, the Belgian troops having made an effort to cut the Germans off from IL cir sources of supply
 The statement made tonight is to the effect that General von kluk of the German army was expecting an army from the east, which failed to arrive. The failure of the rein forcements to come as expected. made him fear that an attempt was being made to cut him off from the other German armies, and he began to close in toward them.
 The Germans had rebuilt the French railroads through the coun try they had invaded and had es' tablished regular train service with Germany. This was necessary in order to keep the vast armies sup piled with food and ammunition Lines of communication were also established between the various German armies that were in France

War experts, according to report sent to London say it is evident the Germans, in re- treating, are not doing so be- cause they have been beaten, and it is suggested that the rejoicing has been somewhat premature.
 Information has been received in London, which indicates that the Germans were forced to fall back to protect their reconstruct ed railroads, that provided them with supplies and ammunition from Germany. 1t is believed that they will soon take the offensive in the fight in front of Paris.
 All reports concerning the fighting with the Russians, agree that the Austrians and the Germans are making a good showing in East Prussia and Austria. A big battle is report ed to have started near the Rus sian border, and a St. Peters burg dispatch estimates that the battle will last week.
