MOTHERS PENSION.
Shawnee County Auditor Believes Law
Is unconstitutional

The new mothers pension law,
am convinced, not only is unconStitu-
tional, but it defeats its own object by
limiting rather than increasing the
powers of the county commissioners %
was the declaration of County Auditor
j. E. Larimer to the county board
when he advised that body to accept
no applications for aid under the law
before it has consulted the county at
torney for, an opinion upon the act
The new law became operative April
1 by publication. Oscar Swayze, coun-
ty clerk, today submitted to the coun-
ty board an application form to be
used by women desiring county aid
for the support of their minor chill
dren.
THE new law gives the county
board no authority it did not already
have under old statutes said Auditor
Larimer. '1t is Objectionable because
it is manifestly special legislation. The
purpose of the act was to extend help
to children who have been deprived
of the support of their natural guar
dams, their parents; but it specifical-
ly provides only for children who have
lost their fathers. What about the
child whose mother is dead and whose
father is burdened by the expense of
providing a makeshift home. 1t is
quite possible that such a case may
arise. No child is eligible to benefit
under this law if it is the mother in
stead of the father who is missing
from the home

Skin for Every Women

With the aid of a plain delatone
paste it is an easy matter to rid the
skin of unsightly hairy growths. The
paste is made by mixing some water
with powdered delatone. This is ap-
piled to the hairs not wanted and after
2 or minutes rubbed off and the skin
washed, when every trace of hair will
have vanished. When you go to your
