To Discard Freckles,
Tan, PimpLes, Wrinkles

The use of creams on the face some
times causes hair>to grow. You can avoid
the risk Of acquiring superfuous hair by
avoiding cosmetics and using mercolized
wax instead. There Is nothing better for
any condition of the skin, as the wax
actually absorbs the offensive cuticle. The
latter is naturally replaced by a clear,
smooth, healthy complexion, full of life
and expression. It's the sensible way to
discard freckled, tanned, over-red,
blotchy or pimpled skin. Get an ounce
of mercolized wax at any druggists and
apply nightly like cold cream, erasing in
the morning with soap and water. 1t
takes a week or so to complete the trans
formation.
The ideal wrinkle eradicator Is made by
dissolving an ounce Of powdered saxolite
in a half pint witch hazel. Bathing the
face in the solution brings almost instan-
taneous results.

ON THE GREAT WHITE WAY.
BY o. o. M'INTYRE.

New York, July n.-Alexander Berk-
man, king OF the Reds, at least has i'm
pressed she police with his GOODNESS and

Berkman first gained prominence as an
| anarchist when he shot H. c. Frick, the

Identified prominently in New York with

is also active in this work. Berkman

mediately after It was discovered that a
bomb had wrecked the Lexington avenue
tenement the other Sunday and killed
four persons, including the I. ". W.
leader, Arthur Caron. 'Berkman was the
coolest person present in the third de-
gree room. Two high officials stood over
him and alternately pleaded and threat
ened. They were perspiring freely and
almost on a verge OF collapse, but Berk-
man sat calmly In his chair with a half
smile on his face. He punctuated his re-
marks by carelessly ficking the ashes
from the cigarettes he smoked constantly
during the inquiry. He was finally per-
mitted to go, and as he left the room he
bowed with Just a faint trace Of a sneer
on his lips, and said: Gentlemen, this
has been an interesting morning for me.
I trust you, too, have enjoyed your
selves"
New York has been going through q
series of medical conventions and the
newspapers have been brimminS with
stories Of grewsome and hideous dis

keep clean, shun poisons and infections,
avoid fatigue, play a little. sleep enough
and. above all, keep serene and calm.

During the Mcclellan administration
Charles Liebeskind, the broker, used to
lunch daily with Arthur Brisbane,
Hearst's editor, and s. s. Carvalho,
Hearst's business manager. Brisbane
was opposed bitterly to Mcclellan, and
said 50 repeatedly. Liebeskind was Tor
Mcclellan. but they never touched upon
politics at luncheon until one day the
Hearst papers came out with striking

place Brisbane had not yet arrived, but

SOME USES FOR ALUM

Alum Is very useful in the home, and
there is nothing better for mending
broken dishes or a lamp when IL is
loose in the collar than alum melted and
used while hot.
Sprinkle the alum under the edges of
your caEpets and in the corners, and
the moths will not bother you.
An excellent remedy for Group is made
by beating the white of an egg to a stiff
froth, then sweeten. a little, add 4 little
pulverized alum and give a teaspoonful
every ten or fifteen minutes until relief
comes.
There is no better way to remove any
foreign substance from the eye than to
make this same mixture. spread II on a

BY responsibilities Viola meant chill

The first excitement Of spending money

1t was very negative and innocuous
kind Of Summing until she met Mrs.
Donnelly. She went to meetings Of the
executive committee Of her club; she at
tended some OF the mothers meetings
at her favorite settlement house; she even
motored to the homes Of some OF her
proteses on Thanksgiving and Christmas
armed with baskets OF dinner, when the
family was washed and dressed for the
occasion to receive hef. She remembered
her days Of poverty. although they had
never been sordid: she thought the bare
homes she saw were very unfortunate:
she felt that she was doing q great deal
of good.
But when she met Mrs. DonneIly, she
for the first time saw the slums Mrs
Donnelly also came to the settlement
house; but she came there. not from a
home like Viola's. but from the homes

She lived down there. There was some
thing about her quiet, earnest active
way that appealed to the other and they
fell 10 talking. At last Viola went to
see her, and found her working on baby
clothes. She sat down and embroidered
delicately at a coarse little cotton night
gown. feeling the same interest in II that
she felt over her embroidered doilies at
afternoon tea.
And then one day she went to the home
for which the baby clothes were destined.
Somehow, until that time, Viola had

broadway hotel. where he became friend

to meet in the hotel lobby at night and
exchange the adventures Of the day.
Coxen never failed to pour out a flood
of bitter reproaches against the sordid
iniquitous. altogether intolerabIe great
city Of the East. contrasting everything
Manhattanese with the peaceful paradise
he had left behind in Santa Barbara.
One evening, as one OF the other actors
relates the incident. Coxen began as
