To Get Rid of Wrinkles
 and Bad Compilations

It is more important now than during the period of profuse precipitation. to keep the pores clean All cosmetics clog the pores. In cool weather this inter- feres greatly with elimination of waste material, injuring instead of aiding the complexion. Ordinary mercoliZed wax serves all the purposes of creams. pow ders and rouges, giving far better re- suits. It actually peels off an offensive skin, at the same time unclogging the pores. Minute particles of scarf skin come off day by day. causing not the least pain or discomfort. Gradually the healthy, younger skin beneath peeps out, and in less than a fortnight you have a lovelier. complexion than you. ever dreamed of acquiring. Mercolized wax. obtainable at any drug store, is spread on nightly like cold cream and washed off mornings. One ounce usually suf- ficeS.
 For removing wrinkles, without stop ping the pores with pasty stuff, here's a never falling formula: O.. powdered Raba he n IT ths z dh nt wd,cn hne every line will vanish c4mpletely. Even sultS.-Ady.

GERMANY IS CUT OFF
 FROM SWEDISH FOOD
Export of Meat and Live
 Stock Is Prohibited

Stockholm, Sweden, October 25. Correspondence of the Associated Press. .)-The action of the Swedish of all meat, canned goods and live stock means the practical loss to Ger many of Sweden as source of food supply. Certain minor exceptions will exist, the most important of which is fish; and pork. and bacon can still be exported under special licenses; but the order is as absolute and inflex- ible as possible under the circum- stances and Sweden's export trade in food is for the time being, and prob- ably as long as the war lasts, almost completely at an end.
 Although 1t has been common knowl- edge that Germany has been substan- tially helped by sweden in the matter of food, the extent of this help has only been revealed by fragmentary figures which are now available. The prohibitory order has been Tor long time delayed by a desire expressed by the government to first count the amount of stock on hand in Sweden and determine whether it had actually fallen low enough to make the pro- hibition imperative. The results of this investigation are startling.
 Exports First Year
 During the first year of the war 162,000 cattle have been exported. prac- tically the whole stock going to Ger many. This is fully a 300 per cent in- crease over the ordinary export be- fore the war. During the same length of time 500.000 hogs alive or slaught- cred, have been sent out of Sweden to foreign markets. although in this case a large percentage has gone to Eng land The counting of stock showed that. whereas Sweden was expected to have for home consumption 100000 hogs, she now has on hand less than

Courage and Courtesy
@ Ohio State Journal.

From the Ohio State Journal. It is recorded of General Sheridan that he was once asked who, in his opinion. was the most reliable of the corps commanders, and he unhesitat- ingly answered, General Hancock He said "If I wanted man to stay where I put him, if I located him at night and wanted to find him right there in the morning. I'd select Hancock" And then further Sheridan said:
 For genuine politencss and gentle regard for women, Hancock was incom- parable. If Mrs. Hacock came into his room 20 times in half an hour he would always stand up
 There is a compliment indeed The bravest commander was the most cour- teaus to women. and what was best of all he included his own wife among the
 objects of his courtesies. That Is some thing many men forget--they are cour- teous to all women except their own
 wives.

 Pork today is 85 cents per kilo. A year ago 1t was 45 cents. Butter now 80 cents, year ago 50 cents. Eggs now 50 cents for 20, year ago 25 cents. Beef now 75 cents. formerly 30 cents. It appears from this increase of 100 per cent that food prices are at present
 higher in Sweden than in any country in Europe.

half this number. The alarming scar city of provisions shown by the in vestigation. together with the popular outcry against the high prices which actually placed the common necessi- ties of life beyond the reach of the poor consumer. resulted in the order prohibiting further export. It is thought that this order will soon be extended to all food
 Soon after the outbreak of the war thousands of German buyers swarmed into Sweden. who did what they could, even in the smallest villages. to buy up all available meat and vegetables. Duly organized and with special cen tral offices established. where food accumulated. live stock was slaught- cred, canned and exported to Germany
 At Landscrona and Malmo. factories were built and no detail was omitted in the systematic attempt to make the export as high as possible. A temporary step taken by the Swedish government all timed goods allowed Sweden a short respite from a system which-was drain ing her of supplies which were nee essary for home consumption. But by various lodges. and principally. by ex- porting the same amount of meat in form of live stock or slaughtered cat tie, the export soon reached It's former height. Swedish dealers were encour- aged to continue this excessive and dis astrous export by the enormous prices which were offered by Germans. Food prices began to mount daily and with alarming bounds until 1t was evident that a continuance of exports would lead to the actual starvation of Swed- en. Tie scarcity and the almost pro- hibitive prices placed upon articles of food which always had been regarded as the smiple necessities of life, have caused already acute suffering among the poorer classes
 In addition to the prohibition of ex- ports. food commissioners are already fixing maximum prices on the ordinary food commodities. Milk which has been selling for about cents litre has already fallen to cents, at the in structions of the commission. and a maximum price of s625 per hundred kilos of wheat has been set by the gov ernment.
 Government Buying Supplies
 It is thought that the prohibition of exports and the recommendations made by the commission will effectively re- duce the speculative prices which now prevail. but to further help in the mat ter and to do away with the middle men, and agents commissions. the gov ernment has established food bureau.

Making Important Reforms

Making Important Reforms
 CZar Nicholas is taking his com 1nand seriously. Experts on court life prophesied that he would bring te staff headquarters advisers who would do harm. Women, priests and cour- tiers who play a shady role in do- nestle politics would ruin the army's chance. Czar Nicholas brought only his inseparable companions, Major Gen. eral Voysikoff. palace commandant and General Prince Vladimir Orloff chief of his military field chancellary Both are good soldiers and men of the tough, sporting, adventurous spirl' which is to inspire Russia's army ir it's new fight for victory. The high CT staff generals are pleased to find no intrigues. Half the inferior staff officers have been cleaned out. Their seats are filled by fighters. Ten of the new men distinguished themselves in hattle, but never studied in any staff academy
 Car Nicholas, under advice from Alexeyeff, his chief of staff Is mak- Ing important reforms. He is decen- tralizing and simplifying army proce- dure. The aim is to give initiative to junior commanders. Under Grand Duke Nicholas, Russia's field army was a military bureaucratic hierarchy Czar Nicholas has transferred to Ivanoff Tvers and Ruski, his three army group commanders. complete independence in about 10 matters.

NAIL SERVICE WILL NOT BE
 IMPROVED SAY OFFICIALS

From the second assistant post master-general, Rev. c. c. Bruce re- celved a letter last evening. in which he stated, as he has done before. that 1t would be impossible to bet ter the mail service at the present time. owing to the necessary increase in expenditures. In his letter of complaint against the mail service Rev. Bruce set forth that periodicals which he needed for church work last winter did not arrive until the middle of July. He also stated that many papers and magazines were equally as late in coming to the in terior. Notwithstanding this fact. the postmaster-general then replied that the records of the department showed that all the second class matter had been sent through in good time
 In answer to practically every let ter sent to the department. the post master-general has replied in a simi- lar way, so that the records must be at fault somewhere, as everyone in the interior knows that all the second class matter did not get through on time.-Fairbanks Times.
