How to Keep Face
Young and Attractive

The way to ward off old age is not
to fear it, not to allow ones self to
be oppressed by the dread of ad-
yancing years. Use only legitimate
preventives and avoid trying expert
ments with preparations not indorsed
by physicians. An entirely safe and
very effective way to keep the COM
plexion yOung-looking and beautiful
is to apply ordinary mercolized wax
at bedtime. using it like cold cream.
washing it off in the morning. This
gradually absorbs the withered, faded
cuticle which is replaced by the
more youthful, pink-tinted underskin.
One ounce of this wax. to be had at
any drug store, is enough to COM
pletely rejuvenate a worn-out COM
plexion.
Crows feet and other wrinkles, the
first signs of advancing age, may be
removed by a simple, harmless pre-
paration made by dissolving an ounce
of powdered saXolite in a half-pint
witch hazel. 1t is used as a face
bath.

UNITED STATES TROOPS TO
EVACUATE VERA CRUZ-GEN.
CARRANZA GIVES ASSURANCE
(By Associated Press

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. IL
American troops probably will be or
dered out of Vera Cruz very soon,
leaving the Mexican factions to COM
pose their own differences.
This action is expected to be taken
by United States military authorities
as a result of recent assurances given
by Gen. Carranza that no import taxes
will be re-imposed on goods received
at Vera Cruz from abroad during the
American occupation, and that per-
sons who served under direction of
the United States authorities at the
Mexican port will not be molested as
a result of their action. Gen. Carranza
has already given his official pledge
on these matters and other similar
pledged, it is expected, will be exacted
of Provisional President Gutierrez, be-
fore the American evacuation is ac-
tually commenced.
Advices from Naco, Ariz., received
at the state department late today say
fighting between the Maytorena and
Hill forces continued in Sonora yes
terday. Casualties on both side were
small and the fighting was without
definite results.

LINER WITH 8OO
HORSES ABOARD
CATCHES ON FIRE.

NEWPORT, NEWS, Va, Nov. IL
The Holt liner Rembrant, which left
Baltimore yesterday with cargo CT
500 horses consigned to the Allies, ar
rived here this morning. The big liner
was forced to turn back from her voy-
age because of an outbreak of fire in
her hold late yesterday afternoon.
Sixty-sev of the horses were burn
ed to death before the fire could be
gotten under control. Many other ami
mails were seriously burned and will
probably have to be killed.
The ship is closely guarded and Off
GERS aboard remain quiet as to the
origin of the fire. Whether or not it
was of incendiary origin cannot be de-
termined from the Sphinz-like crew of
the ship.
Sleepless Night Spent by Ships Grew.
Members of the crew today told
hair-raising stories of the fight on
board the ship to conquer the flames.
The 500 horses aboard became panic
stricken with the first smell of smoke
and added to the confusion with their
neighs and snorts of terror. Even af-
ter the fire had been cotton under
control there was little chance for
rest The horses were still restless
and their continual shifting and whin-
ing kept everyone aboard awake.
