several causes. Whatever the cause in
your case, your skin needs stimulating.
The following treatment is the most effec-
tive you can use:
Just before retiring, wash your face and
neck with plenty of Woodbury's Facial
Soap and hot water. If your skin has
been badly neglected, rub generous
lather thoroughly into the pores, using an
upward and outward motion, until the
skin feels somewhat sensitive After this,
rinse well in warm, then in cold water.
Then rub your skin for five minutes with
lump of ice and dry carefully.

he laughed, turned away, and began to
talk to one of his lieutenants.
The insult was gross enough, but only
as last resort did Laneham intend to go
over his head to Bishop or the Commits
sioner. 1t still remained to be seen just
how far the big Inspectors powers
extended.
REFORE an hour was over he might
well have decided that they amounted
to something very like complete blockade.
He wanted a set of foor-plans, both for
the Casa Grande and the Casa Reale, its
annex. Though without either door or
elevator connections, both were simply
halves of the same building. And he
made his request at the renting Office.

Since Electric Company Began
Manufacture of Ice and Free
Ice in SIGHT.

WESTON, July 27.-For the last
two or three weeks a war has ragged
in this city as bitter and as earnestly
waged as the conflict on the marshes
of Flanders or amidst the wild Car
pathians. The loss of life has been
an unknown quantity, but strategy
has been employed to the extreme.
Ice manufactured from the distilled
water of the old West Fork, is the
cause of the trouble. And the Wes-
ton Electric Light, Power and Wa
ter Company and the Malloy
Brothers, manufacturers of ice and
soft drinks, are the contending par
Ties The price of ice has been cut
until the citizens can now buy ice for
twenty-five cents per hundred
pounds, and the prospects are that
ice will be given away before the
trouble ends.
Some FIVE or six years ago Rich
ard and James Malloy purchased the
only ice plant in Weston, called the
Reymann Ice Company. Since that
time the Malloy Brothers have en-
joyed a monopoly in the manufacture
of ice for the people of this city
They have built up the business from
one of small consequence to very
profitable one. A few months ago

IS WAGING WARM

the Weston Electric Light. Power
and Water Company, in which Louis
Bennett. j. S. Vandervort and
Judge" Andrew Edmiston, are the
moving spirits, decided to open an
other plant for the manufacture OF
ice. For a number of years these
men have furnished electric current
and water to the people of Weston,
and they decided as the manufac-
ture of ice is an allied industry, they
would erect a plant. The construc-
ton of the ice plant was forthwith
begun and the expense of construc-
ton has been in the neighborhood
of SIS, 900.
The new plant was opened for bust
ness July IL, and that was the day
that the first ultimatum was issued
in the ice war" Some claim that
the Malloy Brothers issued the hrst
notice of a cut in the price OF ice.
while others claim that the electric
light people did. Be that as it may,
someone issued an uItimatum, and
since the twelfth number of notes,
friendly and otherwise have been eS-
changed between the two powers. "
Wagers are being made today as
to which Of the ice companies will be
the winner in the present war. "

per hundred pounds and the pres
pect OF It's being given away within
a short time, the consumers here are
delighted.

In An Effort TO Save His Presf
dental Bacon in the Next
Campaign.

WASHINGTON, Suiy 27.-Is Pres
ident Wilson going to do as the Col
onel was fond of doing when he
saw the opposition with an issue that
looked good to him, reach over and
take it? The talk in the lobbies here
is that this is what he is planning to
do.
Rumor has it that the president is
going to announce before long a
Slight change of heart that will
shock that element of his party
which endorses the sentiment eX-
pressed by Champ Clark when he
was floor leader in the house, fav-
orable to burning down all the custom
houses. 1t is said that the president
is getting ready to invade the citadel
of Republicanism and take away
some of the protective tariff candy
that that party has enjoyed for many
years.
The story goes that the president
sees that the end of the European
war means that the tariff question is
going to be of greater paramountcy
than 1t has. been for many years. The
big business men of the country see
it, and very clearly, and the president
sees it just as plainly as they.
1t is said that such men as ].
P Morgan Mr.. Nanderlip, or the
National City Bank; George F. Baker,
of the First National; and Mr.. Can
non of the Fourth National, are
thinking now what is to happen
after the war is over. And 1T Is g
serious problem. 1t devolves on them
to discount the future. They must
beat us plain people to it, just a
little bit. That is how they make
their money. So, already, in the tur-
moi land strife of the present, these
clear-eyed men are looking ahead one
year, year and half or two years
to figure how the United States IS
to come out.
1t is all right, fine and dandy,
while the war lasts. But that flow
OF coin from across the pond Is go
ing to stop when the big guns no
longer roar. Then, these big bust
ness men see that the foreigners will
want their money back, and they will
set about getting it back by the
only means they have at hand. They
will start to manufacture for Amer
lean markets. They will be able to
employ labor cheaper than ever
known, and the tariff walls being
down in this country, there will be
such an under-selling campaign from
abroad as no one of the present gen
Grafton can remember.
Well, the men who control the pig
sums OF money that have come to
this country do not propose 70 al

London Newspaper Expresses
Great Alarm Over the Pre-
sent Situation in Poland.
TREMENDOUS MOVEMENT
History Shows No Such ParaI-
lei in Size of EnveIoping
/ Operations.
az Areee,ArEp eassa

LONDON, July. 27.-The magnl-
tude of the German enveloping move
ment in the eastern field now Is
absorbing the attention of the Brl-
fish officials and public. The latest
reports show that General Won Bue.
lows 10000 cavalry have tltrned
southwark from Riga and are within
eighty miles of the railway connect
ing Petrograd with Warsaw.
In this way the northern German
line Is closing in on the main nor
then railway artery to the Russian
capital while the southern armies
similarly are approaching the main
southern artery running to ODESSA.
The Times declares human history
can show no parallel to the ire
mendous extent of this enYelopinG
movement, which it says, involves re-
suits to Russia and the western al
lies comparing with Russ1a's resist
ance to a Mongol invasion.
The Times believes the operations
are a real danger, not alone to War
saw, but to the whole system of rail-
way defenses of which the city Is the
center and that it now is apparent
that the Germans are planning TO
envelop the entire Russian army IN
this region. The newspaper points
out that the fall of Warsaw will have
a grave significance for the West as
1t will mean that Russia's power to
resume successful offensive Will
have been indefinitely postponed and
that the principal bases for offensive
operations will be in the hands OF
Germany.
Today's Petrograd official state
ment saying that the Germans have
been thrown back at one point of the
Narew river brings some relief to
London as the military observers here
hold that the. final results depend
largely upon Russia prolonginE her
resistance until climatic conditions IN
that countery interpose barrier to
the full realization Of the German
plan. ~ a.,sz
with the exception of the Italian from
tier. where the Italians claim to have
taken 1000 prisoners, show compar-
alive inactivity.
Premier Asquith today announced
that the total British losses in killed
wounded and missing in both the
military and naval branches OF the
service up to week ago had reached
