about a cord a day, go after the water and all

comparatively large wages.

lagos aggregating $21,965.54 were re-
vealed in a report just filed with Aud
itor of State A. v. Donahey by State
Examiners e. e. Lippincott and l. E.
Martin. The report, comprising near
iy 500 typewriter pages, covers Pc
riod from April, 1909, to December,
1913, and represents the work of more
than three months on the part of the
examiners.
Copies have been filed also with At
torney General Hogan and Prosecutor
Cyrus Locher of Cuyahoga county
with the request that both cooperate
in enforcing the amounts alleged to be
due from more than 1000 village offl-
cials.
Findings reported by the examiners
range from 40 cents in the village OF
Fairview to $9,36O.92 in the village of
Newburg Heights. The latter sum
represents the proceeds from four diff
ferent tax levies which was diverted
to the general revenue fund instead of
being turned into the sinking fund, as
authorized by village ordinance.
Declaring their belief that this di-
version occurred SOLELY from unwhole,
some carelessness on the part of the
officials" the examiners declare that
the misapplication of funds is serious
violation of the law, which specifically
provides that any public officer OF
board responsible for diverting funds
raised by taxation to any use or pur
pose other than that authorized "shall
be fined in double the amount of money
or other property embezzled."

been blown by robbers, Joseph
Mast, proprietor of department

One Cause of Bad

Look at section of skin under the
microscope and YOU will readily under
stand why cosmetics g. uerally injure
the complexion" says DR. II. Robert
Mackenzie. The skin. smooth as il
looks to the naked eye, under the glass
exhibits lacework of tiny holes,
mouths of myriads OF little glands. TO
keep the skin healthy these holes must
be unobstructed, that the perspiration
and natural oil can have free outlet.
should the glands be blocked up with
irritating gritty PARTICLES, a common
result of using powders and creams,
Nature retaliates by causing sallow-
ness, roughness, blotches or pimples.
"As substitute for all cosmetics I
recommend ordinary mercolized wax. 1t
not only does what the various face
preparations are supposed to accomplish h
but its peculiar absorbent action frees
the pores from the daily accumulation
of impurities, also absorbing the devil
talized particles of surface skin This
produces a natural healthy youthful
complexion. One ounce of this wax, to
be had at any drug store, usually suf-
fees to rejuvenate the poorest com
