No Need Being Old or
WrinRled Before rs

Lillian Russell says any woman Who
has wrinkles before she's seventy-hve Is
herself responsible for them Sunshine
and fresh air she considers more valu-
able as complexion preservers than nos-
trums and cosmetics.
The chief objection to cosmetics Is
that at best they only temporarily cover
up defects. There are certain true aids
to Nature, which may be applied with
directly opposite effect. Ordinary mer-
colized wax, for instance. actually re-
moves a bad or oldish complexion, by
gradually, almost impercepttbly. peelins
off the wornout scarf skin. Just one
ounce. procurable at any drugstore, viii
soon unveil an entirely new and natural
complexion, with an exquisite girlish
color OF course, cutaneous blemishes,
like pimples, freckles. fine lines, moth
patches. liver spots, disappear with the
discarded skin.
To prevent or remove wrinkles, face
bath. which also produces natural re-
suits. is made by dissolving an ounce of
powdered saxolite in a half pint witch
hazel This is Immediately effective and
gives no untoward after effect.-Advt

Warns Against the Use of
Salicylic Acid in Canning

Warning mas been issued by the De-
partment of Agriculture against the
use by housewives of salicylic acid in
putting up preserves. The practice of
using this acid as a canning compound,
department officials say, has grown
to enormous proportions in recent years
in southwest Virginia, North and South
Carolina, kentucky, Tennessee and
western Georgia
1T is true" the warning says, that
these powders may prevent the decay
of the fruit or vegetable. but they also
encourage uncleanly or careless work,
and their excessive use may be at
tended with very serious effects upon
the health. Salicylic acid is a medi-
cine Of the greatest value In acute ar
ticular rheumatism and certain other
diseases. 1t is well known as a pois-
onous substane, and one of the evils
which may accompany its use is de-
of the digestion. 1t is.
therefore, plain that its extensive use
in food may lead to disturbance of
digestion and health.
''It is entirely practicable to put up
fruits and vegetables in such a manner
that they will keep indefinitely by steril-
iZing the products by means of heat,
and there Is no use OF running any
risk by using preserving powders"

DENIES FREE TOLLS
WAS ISSUE IN 1912
People Have Not Expressed
Convictions on Question,
Says Senator Chiffon.

Practically no attention was paid to
the question of tolls exemption through
the Panama Canal during the last
Presidential campaign, Senator Chiffon,
of West Virginia declared this after
noon in urging the repeal of the tolls
exemption clause. He dwelt strongly on
the fact that even such sentiment as
did exist was based upon the theory
that We had the right to exempt our
ships, and with no thought of any vio-
lation Of treaty which would be caused
by such exemption.
Urging that the granting of exemp-
ton would be merely a subsidy. the
payment Of just so much money out Of
the United States Treasury into the
Golfers of the owners OF the coastwise
vessels. Chiffon added
IF the principle of subsidy is right
that is, II 1t be best for this Government
to pay money out OF its Treasury, be-
longing to all the peopls. for the pur-
pose Of encouraging coastwise trade
then il is also a good thing to pay
money out of the Treasury to encourage
the seagoing trade. If We mean to
be for subsidies. We ought to do il
directly and in the open"

DOREMUS WILL OPEN
FIGHT ON SUFFRAGE
Action Indicates Democrats
Will Not Seek to Assuage
Wrath of Women.

Congressman Frank E. Doremus Of
Michigan, it developed today, will have
in his Campaign platform this summer
and fall a plank against woman suf-
fraSe. This information is regarded as
significant, for two reasons.
In the first place. since Mr.. Doremus
Is chairman of the Democratic Congress
sional campaign committee. it indicates
that the Democratic party will make no
particular effort to assuaSe the suffrage
wrath caused by the refusal of the
party in this Congress to grant the de-
mands Of the votes for women ad-
vocates for an amendment to the Fed
eral Constitution for woman suffrage.
Secondly. Mr.. Doremus is from Mtchi-
gan, the State which a little more than
year ago voted by nearly 10000 ma
jority against woman suffrage, and his
attitude conveys the impression that he
believes the suffrage sentiment IN
Michigan has not grown.

Coast Survey Will Drag
The New England Coast

The United States Coast and Geodetic
Survey is making preparations to begin
the work OF dragging practically all Of
the New England coast to locate un-
charted shoals and other perils to nav
igation. The work will be started in
Portlsnd harbor by the wire drag
method. BY this plan a drag is held
at a known depth below the surface of
the water by small buoys connected to
the drag wire by wiro cable verticals.
The work is done for the benefit OF
charts snJ to make it possible to is
que sailing directions that will insure
the safety of the largest vessels that
will have to enter the New England
harbors.
