How to Absorb on
Unlovely Complexion

The face which is admired for its beauty
must have a satin smooth skin, pink and
white and youthful looking. The only
thing know of that can make such a
complexion out of an aged, faded, or dis
colored one@I mean a natural, not a
painted. complexion-is ordinary mercoI-
lied wax. This remarkable substance lit
orally absorbs the unsightly cuticle, little
each day, ~he clear, healthy, girlish skin
beneath gradually peeping out until with
in week or so it is wholly in evidence.
OF course such blemishes as freckles. moth
patches, liver spots, blotches and pimples
are discarded with the old skin. If you
will procure an ounce of mercolized wax
at the drug store, use like cold cream every
night, washing this off mornings, you'll
find it veritable wonder-worker.
Another valuable natural treatment is a
wash lotion to remove wrinkles which can
be easily prepared. Dissolve 1 OF. pow
dered saXolite in u pit. witch hazel. Battle
the face in this and you'll find it works
like magic. Phyllis Moore in Town Talk.

TODAY'S BEAUTY HELPS

Nothing excites more criticism than
woman with her face all daubed
with face powder in her desire to hide
a faulty or an aging skin. Instead of
using powder, which clogs and enlarges
the pores, it is far better to use a good
face lotion that will improve and per-
manently benefit the skin. By dis
solving four ounces of spurmax in
half pint of hot water you can make an
inexpensive lotion that will do won
ders as a skin whitener and complex
ion beautifier. 1t removes all shini-
ness, sallowness and roughness, and
gives the skin a smooth, velvety tone,
while it does not rub off easily like
powder, nor does it show on the skin.
BY washing the hair with tea
spoonful of canthrox dissolved in
cup of hot water, afterward rinsing
thoroughly with clear water, one
finds that it dries quickly and evenly,
is unstreaked, bright, soft and very
fluffy, so fluffy, in fact, that it looks
more abundant than it is and so soft
that arranging it becomes pleasure
This simple, inexpensive shampoo
cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly
of all dandruff and dirt, and leaves
clean wholesome feeling. All scalp ir-
ritation will disappear, and the hair
will be brighter and glossier than ever
before.-Adv.

Hair Made Curly

1t has been discovered that the appli-

PESSlMISTS FOR SUFFRAGE
But the Forces Of Evil ATE Not on the
Side of the Home.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Allow me to reply to a surprising
quotation from a Baptist clergyman, sent to
YOU by Mrs. Sammis, in recent number Of
The Tribune. ! have been actively engaged
in the campaign against the extension OF po-
litical suffrage to women for about three
wears. | am chairman of the Man Suffrage
Association, which is cordially cooperating
with the women's national and state associa-
tions. The men who are active on our side,
as | meet them, are the real progressives
who desire to go forward in the path which
thus far has been in the main followed by
the American people and on which our coun-
try has prospered beyond example.
The men have done the outside work of the
world the women have made the homes. In
making the homes they have made happi-
ness and righteousness for the family. The
intimation or assertion that it is the forces
of evil that are errayed on the side Of the
home in opposition to political suffrage for
women is absolutely untrue. On the con-
trary do not know single force, the aim
Of which is revolution, the overturn of the
present social fabric in order that the revo-
lutionists can get something that other peo-
pie haye worked for which is not on the side
OF the political suffrage for women. The So
calist banners which waved on Saturday
show this very distinctly. Can there be
named a single socialist in the United States
who is not a suffragist? | certainly do not
know one.
Another communication to your columns
makes the assertion: NEARLY 100000
women are now voting in this country alone"
In point of fact, the total female population
of the eleven full suffrage states, including
children, is 3,63477S. The entire population
of these states is only s,l89,496, whereas the
population of the State Of New York alone
is 9,113,279. Again, your correspondent says
il men would be decent themselves and treat
women as companions and equals, etc This
is n very characteristic argument. The pes
smists who think everything existing is evil
are generally sufFragists. AS | meet them in
debate this is their uniform cry: that the
men OF America are not to be trusted; that
they are bad lot; that they have made a
mess OF government, and that women must
take hold and revise il. For my part, | be-
lieve in the American man. | have seen our
government during the last fifty years stead
lily improve. If the mothers will do their
part in the future and give their heart and
soul to the education and training of their
boys and girls we need have no fear for the
future EVERETT P. WHEELER.

Harvard's Neutrality.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: President Lowell's reply to Professor
Kuno Meyers letter will hardly convince any
impartial mind that Harvard holds the scales
evenly between the bclligerent nations. This
opesidedness is disappointing in view OF the
university's extraordinary professions Of
neutrality, expressed last December, when
Kuno Meyers engagement to deliver lect-
ure at Harvard was cancelled on the ground
that the German savant's speech on the Irish
question and the European war, delivered at
a Clan-na- Gael meeting in Brooklyn, was a
violation OF neutrality.
What bearing this speech had on lecture
on Celtic Literature" or why the Harvard
corporation saw fit to make known their dis
pleasure at an address for which the univer
sity was not responsible, President Lowell
has not so far explained.
Surely he was aware that the German pro-
fessor would not deliver to an audience Of
students and college professors the speech
which was appauded at the Brooklyn meet
ing. II will be recalled that DR.. Kuno Meyer
delivered lecture on "Celtic Literature" at
war, politics and controversial matters were
entirely excluded.
While President Lowell defends free
thought and free speech for the Harvard
students he would deny the same privileges

for scholarship is worldwide. Had not the

speak his mind freely 70 friendly audi

The Three DIS.

There could be no better motto for
Cleanup Week" than Commissioner
Fetherston's motto, Remember the three
deadly D's-Dirt, Disease, Death" 1t ap-
plies quite as much to dirt outside the
home as to dirt inside, to municipal dirt
as we'll as to personal.
New York City spends millions Of dol
lars annually to preserve the public health,
and the Health Department points proudly
to a death rate now so low that decreases
in it no longer seem big-until one esti-
mates in lives rather than figures on the
right-hand side Of decimal point.
All that departments splendid efforts
could not prevail, though, if disease and
death were not constantly warred against
also by the Street Cleaning Department.
Dirt, disease, DEATH" these are to be at
tackled successfully at the point Of origin
dirt. That's the lesson of Cleanup Week, "
TO be carried In mind all the year round.

A Short Ballot, Not a Longer One.

While the Republican platform Of 1914
expressly declared the right Of each dele
gate TO the Constitutional Convention TO
vote on questions therein as his individual
judgment dictated, it nevertheless con-
tanned certain expressions on large ques-
tons Of public policy" One Of these was
g. direct advocacy Of the short ballot. In
offering an amendment which not only
would not shorten, but would lengthen, the
present ballot, therefore ex-senator Brack-
EFT is acting within his individual right,
but Is placing himself on record contrary
TO his party's policy.
He is also placing himself on record,
The Tribune believes, in direct opposition
70 the spirit Of the times and the senti-
ment Of q majority Of the voters. The
present ballot is too long. In state cam
paign the "head of the ticket" carries in
1.-The rest of the ticket Newspapers
have not space enough TO give adequate
account of the news and views of the
minor candidates; voters have not time
or desire to form opinions on their merits
as they do regarding the candidates for
Governor.
All politicians know this. Gradually
the voters have come to understand how
political machines we're enabled to elect
indifferent minor officials on the strength
of q good man for the top place, and with
that understanding now demand the ap-
pointment of those officials at present
elected, save the Lieutenant Governor, by
the Governor himself.
The existing system leaves the Gov
ernor, whom the public holds responsible
for the success Of his administration,
without real power in many fields Of
state activities. If he had the appointing
# the other state officials he would be
really responsible for the policies Of gov
eminent and their carrying out.
Senator Brackets amendment is not
in the interest Of democracy, as he de-
clares-he would be giving the voters SO
much rope that they would hang them
selves, at times when they have other
executions in mind.

iips.

William. the waiter in Mr.. Shaw's You
Never Can Tell" remarking in his de-
lightful philosophizing on the slight di-
ference between his lawyer-son's condi-
ton In life and his own, declared that the
lawyer got fees where the waiter took
tips, and in both cases there was pre-
tence Of not getting them. The Federal
Commission on Industrial Relations, now
investigating Pullman porters' wages and
tips, is unquestionably too solemn a body
to take its information from Shaw
Nevertheless, Williams moralizings shed
light on the tipping problem which
might illumine their investigation. What
the Upper buys-and Is willing to pay
for, whether he pays In fee or tip
is personality and personal service.
Mr. Lincoln, testifying about his COM
pany's employees, said 1t was almost GER
tain that if wages were raised tipping
would still continue. II would. Anti
tipping laws, club rules and the like
have not abolished It and will not be able
to abolish IT, The laws Of human nature
will have to be repealed first. One person,
pleased with the work or services Of an
other person, Is going to express that
satisfaction by a present, tip, large
fee. even by an increase in salary If the
employe be on a basis Of regular work
and regular compensation.
The tip is not a humiliation either to the
piver or the taker, if it be given in that
spirit. The genuinely good waiter, or
barber, or porter, regards It as sign of
merit recognized as payment for value
received. And he takes care to give value.

Patriotism and the Dictionary.

Since the beginning Of the war there
has been strong movement in Germany
to exclude words Of foreign origin from
common use. The German language is to
be purified and thoroughly re-Germanized.
This is no easy task, since in the fields Of
war, politics, fashion, luxury and sport
the Germans have been very free Dor
rowers of foreign terms.
It will be a great strain on the language
to Dust these words, some Of them domes-
ticated for over a century. When their
expulsion was first suggested the Vienna
"Neue Freie Pregse" made an earnest
protest against such a despoilment 1t
held the natural view that a language
must grow without foolish artificial re-
straints and that words which have been
taken over to supply obvious needs are
just as useful and respectable as words
of strictly native manufacture.
Austria apparently takes little interest
in the publication crusade. But Austrian
prejudices and animosities are far less
violent than those OF Germany. The Ger
man Reichstag recently passed a resolu-
ton requesting the Imperial Chancellor
to cut all expressions of foreign origin out
of the next annual budget. Dozens Of
good technical terms will have to be re-
placed with made-to-order Germansms.
The Reichstag will also have to reform
its own vocabulary and the army will
hardly know itself when "artillerie," 'ka-
valerie" "infanterie," major" "leut-
nant" "feld marschall' and a hundred
other familiar technical terms are thrown
into the discard.
This German sensitiveness TO foreign
influence may bespeak patriotism, but it
is patriotism of an exaggerated type. We
who speak English cannot be expected
to understand it. Our internationalsm in
the matter of vocabulary is unrestrained,
and provincial patriotism is about the last
consideration which would ever halt the
incursions into foreign treasures of our
public and our dictionary makers.

Inquiries Concerning Pellagra.

1t is not surprising TO learn that the
Investigators Of the Public Health Service
have failed to establish causal relation
between pellagra and damaged maize.
The disease has been found so frequently
among people who never eat maize that
the old theory, in the opinion of some of
the most competent observers, was ex-
ploded some time ago. More notable is the
tentative conclusion that it is caused by
an improper diet or a diet insuificiently
diversified, and the almost unqualified
conclusion that it is not an infection.
This is clearly at variance with the
opinion Of DR.. Sambon, whose extensive
researches led him to believe that il was
an insect-borne infection, analogous in
some measure to malaria. He found,
however, as others have found after due
inquiry, that the disease was far more
widespread than was formerly supposed.
1t is remarkable that in his textbook of
psychiatry, published about thirty years
ago, Spitzka dismisses all discussion of
pelldSIOuo INSANITY vi NiiC BlOuilh IilaN ~
does not occur in America Osler, even
in the last edition but one of his "Prac-
tise," spoke of pellagra as disease which
had not been observed in this country.
And, though it is known now that there
are many thousands of cases here, scarcely
eight years have passed since it was first
recognized as anything but rare disease.
Pollagra is generally regarded as dis
tinctly endemic disease. This. of course,
does not by any means discredit the belief
that it is due 10 faulty nutrition, for
tt/ugh some Investigators lay great EN-,
phasis on its limitation 20 definite areas,
il may well be that local customs and con-
dtions have a strong bearing on dietetic
habits. The fact is that very little is
known about it as yet. 1t will be seen,

Destinn Departs.

While there have been gossiping and
rumors. publication Of the list Of singers
re-engaged for the Metropolitan's coming
season gives the first official announce
ment that Emmy Destinn is not to de-
light New York music lovers next win
ter. That will be as incomprehensible
TO the public which takes an interest in
operate affairs as was the enforced re-
tirement Of Fremstad. Destinn's voice
has lost none of its loneliness, nor has
her singing declined in artistic merit.
The Bohemian soprano never had a
popularity like unto that of Miss Farrar,
which drove the Metropolitan management
into speedy capitulation when there was
question Of her absence next season.
Nevertheless, Destinn had a large and
discriminating group Of followers who
only regretted that the luscious voice
they so admired In aida" and Elizabeth"
and "Butterhy"-when she got a rare
chance to sing that role--could not be
heard oftener in some of the many parts
in her repertory which she never might
give. Her going will leave a place in the
Metropolitan's organization not altogether
easy to fill.
