cial)-Recent developments in the Joe
Layton murder case are the arrest of
Dan Jordan. the alleged father-in-law of
Layton. for the murder. and of his wife
and tho wife Of Layton as accomplices.
Up to the time of their arrest, all were
drinking heavily and maintaining good
nerve, and their stories are so nearly
identical that they are suspicious. Two
revolvers have been found, and one, be-
lieved to be the one that was used. is an
automatic. A number of unused car
tridges were found where they had just
been thrown in the vault of an outhouse.
Two bloodhounds each picked out Jordan
as the man whose tracks were at the
window. Powder stains en- the window
sash indicate that the gun was within
two feet of the murdered mans head at
the time the shot was fired. A dumdum
bullet was used and fragments of it are
found. and also an empty shell.
The funeral of Mr.. Layton was held
Monday.

TODAY'S BEAUTY AIDS

To clear up and whiten the skin
and secure that charm of pink and
white youthful freshness so much
desired by all women you will find
II far safer to rely upon a good face
lotion rather than powder. To get
rid of that shiny and muddy appear
ance in your complexion, dissolve
four ounces of spurmaX in one-half
pint hot water, and add two teas
spoonfuls glycerln. Apply this to
your face, neck and arms, rubbing
gently until dry. This lotion does
not show or rub off IKE powder and
is much better. II is splendid for
removing tan, freckles, pimples and
sallowness.
You can make a delightful sham
poo for very trifling cost If you get
from your druggist a package OF can
throx and dissolve a teaspoonful in
cup of hot water. Pour a little
at time on the scalp and rub
briskly. This creates an abundance
OF thick, white lather that thorough
ly dissolyes and removes all dan
druff. excess oil and dirt. After
rinsing, the hair dries quickly, with
a fluffliness that makes II seem
heavier than II is. and takes on a
rich luster and a softness that makes
arranging it a pleasure.-Advertise-
