 ing on Pensions as Men

Blank reclassifcation certificates of the age of widows of Confederate sol eiers and sailors have been received by Judge J. P. Stiles and are ready for distribution Under the act Of March 8, 1915, a change was made as to the pension of widows. Heretofore all widows regardless of age or in- firmity were placed in the third class, but under the new act they are put on the same footing as the Confeder- ate soldiers
 Those over 80 years of age or blind are entitled to first class pensions, which is $25 8 quarter; all over 70 years of age receive second class pen sions of S20;' all others entitled to pen sions are placed in the third class and receive $16. Widows now drawing third class pensions who are qualified for the first or second class can se- cure the increase by making the prop CT application and signing an affidavit.
 Sections one. two and three of the new act are explanatory of the above, and read:
 l. Section 1. That all widows of Con- federate soldiers or sailors, now on the pension rolls or who hereafter may be placed on the pension rolls under the laws of this state. shall be
 
 Widows over the age of 80 years, or totally blind, shall be class numbered cne those over 70 years of age shall be class numbered two; all others who are entitled to pensions shall be class numbered three.
 "Sec. 2. That the state auditor is hereby required to reclassify ali widows of Confederate soldiers or sail ors, now on the pension rolls, ac- cording to age, as provided in the first section of this act
 Sec g. That immediately after the passage of this act. the auditor shall prepare a blank affidavit. shall for- ward same to the judge of probate Of the county In which, the widows who are now on the roll reside, whose duty it shall be to forward same to widows. In. which blank they shall be required 10 set forth their ages. the names of their husbands through whose serv- ices they claim the right to pensions together with their permanent post office addresses and on the blank shall he a statement by the auditor setting forth the object and purpose thereof"
 Judge Stiles states that he has not the residence addresses of many of the widows entitled to pensions and suggests that they apply in person or send to his office for the blank cer- t1ficates.

The wax will gently absorb all the lifeless skin and leave a healthy and beautiful complexion, as fresh as a child's. Naturally 1t takes with 1t all such facial blemishes a g freckles, tan, moth patches, sallowness. liver spots, pimples. It is pleasant to use, and economical The face 50 treat ed soon looks years younger
