It's Easy to Peel off
Your Tan or Freckkes

This is what you should do to shed
a spoiled complexion: Spread evenly
over the face, covering every inch of
skin, thin layer Of ordinary mer-
colized wax. Let this stay on over
night; wash it off next morning. Re-
peat daily until your complexion is as
clear, soft and beautiful as young
girls. This result in inevitable. no
matter how soiled or disco,ored the
complexion. The wax literally peels
off the filmy surface skin, exposing
the lovely young skin beneath. The
process is entirely harmless, SO little
of the old skin coming off OF time.
Mercolized wax is obtainable at any
drug store; one ounce usually suffices.
It's a veritable wonder-worker for
rough, tanned. Redeemed, blotchy.
/ pimpled or freckled skin.
Pure powdered saxolite is excellent
for wrinkled skin. An ounce of it
dissolved in a half pint witch hazel
makes refreshing wash-lotion. This
renders the skin quite firm and
smooth; indeed, the very first appli-
cation grasses the finer lines: the
deeper ones soon follow.

JITNEY STATUS DELAYED.
Utilities Commission Too Busy to
Take Up Case.

Because its entire time today was
consumed with hearing of inquiry
into the affairs of the Washington Rail-
way and Electric and Potomac Electric
Power companies, the public utilities
commission was unable to take up the
question of establishing a status for
the jitaey bus services being operated
in Washington.
That the jitney will be classed as a
common carrier and placed under the
supervision of the commission is a GER
tainty, it was stated by an official of
the commission to-day. In fact, il has
been the intention from the beginning
TO regard them common carriers.
but action along this line has been de-
layed until the services could be es
tablished.
The District Commissioners. ii is un-
derstood, considered that the more
practical course would be to license
jitneys as public hacks until jitney bus
service in the capital became an es-
tablished fact, after which they would
be placed under the supervision of the
utilities board
Just when the commission VIII tai e
action in this direction probably Will
be determined by the length of the in
yestigation begun today into the rela-
tionship between the two corporations
mentioned. There is possibility that
the matter may be disposed of before
the end of the week.

The silence hitherto observed by the

the sinking of the steamer ARABIC has
been broken. The Neue Freie Presse
of Vienna. whose relations with the
German embassy are of the closest, de-
clares:
One thing is certain-the American
government has every ground to con-
slider the grave perils to peace which
its policy involves.
1T is absurd that the accident of two
or three Americans being injured in
the war zone should decide the ques-
ton of peace between two great ma
lions. Germany has made reasonable
proposals, which absolutely would ex-
clude such threatening incidents.
If the Arabic affair should develop
further difficulties the dual monarchy
would deplore it. Perhaps the affair.
