Discolored or Spotty
Skin Easily Peeled Off

The freckling. discoloring or rough
ening to which most skins are subject
at this season, may readily be gotten
rid of. Mercolized wax, spread lightly
over the face before retiring and re-
moved in the morning with soap and
water, completely peels off the disfgur-
ed skin. Get an ounce of the wax at
any druggists. There's no more effec-
tive way of banishing tan, freckles or
other cutaneous defects. Little skin
particles come off each day, so the pro-
cess itself doesn't even temporarily
quires a brand new, spotless, girlishly
beautiful face.
Wrinkles caused by weather, worry
or illness. are best treated by a simple
solution of powdered saXolite, / or, dis

the face in this produces truly mar

Mrs. Graybill's story is as follows:
"On our passage over a wireless
message was received stating that the
crown prince and princess of Austria
had been assassinated. This was our
first intimation that all was not peace
and harmony in Europe. During our
stay in Brussels on July % we saw
what we thought was a military pa
rade in honor of the lord mayor of
London's visit to the city. Since see
ing the mobilization of troops in other
cities we think that Belgium was mo-
bilizing at that time. At Wiesbaden
on July 80 we learned that war had
been declared between Austria and
SePvia. We feared we would have
trouble in reaching Berlin, as the cars
would be needed for transporting the
soldiers. We had no trouble, however.
and reached Berlin on the evening of
July 81. Everything was commotion
and soldiers everywhere. Bulletins
were being thrown out from auto
mobiles every hour. The next morn
ing the city was in a ferment and
increasing all the time as a new bulle-
tin would be issued. The depression
around the hotel affected all. The
third call for troops had been made
and manager, stewards and walters in
our hotel went one after the other.
During the night the tumult increased
and on all sides was heard the ma
tional songs.
I'VE soon found on Sunday morn
ing that the situation was grave in
deed and our American ambassador,
Judge Gerard, issued special passports
for us. A notice in the embassy stated
that only one more day would be

Local Sufragists Ask

in this manner to obviate the neces-
sity of having any entertainment this

Many people have promised old
thimbles, cuff buttons, spoons, old

valuable to the society. The officers
urge that these be sent promptly to
105 Locust street that the treasurer
may know exactly how much money
is coming in in this manner.

than any other one thing In the book
of baseball. Just when team is look
ing like four million dollars and win

old slump" gets the team in his
clutches and begins his wicked work.
Workings Of the Jinx.
At the rise of the curtain last spring
the White Sox jumped out in front
end for spell burnt up the American
league circuit The race looked so
soft for the Sox that several members
of the team made arrangements to
invest their worlds series money. Then
something went wrong. the Sox began
To skid and before they could apply
the brakes they were in seventh place.
Apparently there was nothing wrong
with the team. so the blame for the
disaster was laid at the door of old
"Glump."
After the fall Of the Sox, the Detroit
TIGERS caught the ster. When they
marched proudly to the front 1t was
freely predicted that they would STICK
there to the finish. And then what
happened? The Tigers invaded the
east and after cleaning UP the yam
KEGS found themselves face to face
with slump" The old boy attached
himself to the team and the Tigers
lost everything but their stripes.
Pirates Hit Hard.
A third team that met with n sim
liar fate was a crew called the Pirates
from Pittsburgh. If ever team
had soft picking in the early spring
it was these self same Pirates. Their

victories were so frequent that they
attracted little attention and the
Smoketown fans began to lose inter-
ost in the game. What was the use?
The 1914 National league rag was
packed and labeled Pittsburgh and
that was all there was to it. But
about this time an old party called
slump" blew into Pittsburgh. From
the day of his arrival the Pirates field
ers couldn't field the pitchers couldn't
pitch and the hitters couldn't hit.
White Sox, Tigers and Pirates alike
were fortunate in one respect. They
experienced their slump early in the
season and there have a chance to
recover lost ground before the finish
OF the race! With the teams that
bump into old slump" from now on
it will be different story, for to them
1t will mean the wiping out of all
chances to win the pennant.
