NEW CONTRACT IS SIGNED.
Will Affect 35,ooo Miners of Arkan-
 sas and Other States.

Fort Smith, July zz.-The formal signing of the interstate wage scale contract affecting 35,000 union coal miners in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kan sas and Texas, by representatives of the United Mine Workers of Amer ica and representatives of the South western Interstate Coal Mine Opera tors Association, took place in Kan sas City today, according to an off cial announcement by w. K. Hogan this afternoon.
 The contract goes into effect Au- gust 1 and is in force for two years. The present contract expires the last of this month
 It will require a week longer be- fore the district wage contracts are completed, but the signing of the in- terstate contract assures a speedy adjustment of the existing difficulties and an early assumption of the min ing industry.
 The new contract does not stipu- late an increase in wages and is all most identical with the present con- tract. The only notable change is the method of arbitrating disputes. The district arbitrator is eliminated and a board of arbitration is pro- vided for to settle all disputes within 90 days. An appeal board of arbi- tration of three members is provided for in case of an objection to the lower boards decision. It is stated that under this method disputes will be more speedily adjusted and will prevent long delays. The new method was one of the few demands the miners union made upon the op- orators.

'To DISCARD FREcKLES, TAN, PIMPLES, WRINKLES

The use of creams on the face sometimes causes hair to grow. You can avoid the risk of acquiring super fluous hair by avoiding cosmetics and using mercolized wax instead. There is nothing better for any con dition 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 a 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. It takes a week or so to complete the transformation.
 The ideal wrinkle eradicator is made by dissolving an ounce of pow dered saXolite in a half pint witch hazel. Bathing the face in the solu- tion brings almost instantaneous results.
