It's Easy to Peel Off
Your Tan or Freckles

This is what you should do to shed a
spoiled complexion Spread evenly over the
face, covering every inch of skin, thin
LAYER of ordinary mercolized wax Let this
stay on over night; wash it off next morn
ing. Repeat daily until your complexion is
as clear, soft and beautiful as young
girls. This result it inevitable, no matter
how soiled or discolored the complexion.
The wax literally peels off the fillny sur
face skin, exposing the lovely young skin
beneath The process is entirely harmless,
little of the old skin coming off at a
time. Mercolized wax is obtainable at any
drug store one ounce usually suffices. 1t 3

skin.
Pure powdered saxolfte is excellent for a
wrinkled skin. An ounce of it dissolved in
a half pint witch hazel makes a refreshing
wash lotion. This renders the skin quite
firm and smooth; indeed, the very first ap-
plication grasses the finer lines; the deeper
ones soon follow.-Adv.

STRONG FOR ROOT
Seventh District FavOrs New
Yorker for President.
Expects to Defeat Jouett
Shouse for Congress.

Seventh district Republicans will
favor an Elihu Root delegation to the
national convention in 1916. That is
the belief of w. ]. Fitzgerald of Dodge
City, former lieutenant governor.
In Topeka this week Fitzgerald de-
clared that the discussion of national
affairs in the Seventh district indi-
Gated strong, determined Root-for-
president sentiment. The former
lieutenant governor is an admirer OF
the New Yorker and believes his NOM
ination will meet with favor in Kansas
and especially in the southwest dis
trict.
Most of the discussion of national
issues in the Seventh district has in
dicated a strong sentiment for Root
for president said Fitzgerald. Root
has hundreds of admirers in the Sew
enth and most of the sentiment, as l
have heard it expressed, favored the
nomination of either Root or Taft. /
think the Seventh could line up a
mighty strong Root following and that
his candidacy would meet with favor
throughout the state"
Fitzgerald maintains he has re-
moved himself entirely from politics.
Yet he continues to keep a watchful
eye on conditions in his district and
is regarded as one of the wise po-
litical observers in his district. He
believes his district will return to the
Republican fold next year and will
send a Republican to congress to sue
coed Jouett Shouse, Democrat.
Il don't know who will be nomi-
mated for congress in our district, ex-
cept that we will select a strong man.
said Fitzgerald THAT is all that is
necessary to insure the return of the
district to the Republican ranks. The
district will most certainly elect a Re

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.- President vanderlip of the National City Bank. addressing the Edison employees at Spring Lake. N.

While we shall ourselves feel the cessation of that flow in our di- rection. there are other countries that are left with needs so pressing that our opportunity to supply those needs becomes almost an internation- al obligation"

"EoUTH OF HELL" MYSTERY
 EXPLAINED BY SCIENTIST

FARGO. N. D.. Sept. 2S.- The mouth of hell" mystery. which has puzzled Indians and white men in the Northwest for more than fifty years has been solved by a professor at the University of North Dakota
 On the William Cadfisch farm, 12 miles southeast of velva, N. D., is a tract of land eighty-five acres in ex- tent which is so hot that snow never rests there, although the temperature outside may be 40 below. Neither is there vegetation on the land.
 Prior to the coming of white men to the Northwest the spot was a fa- vorite halting place for migratory In. dians, who found 1t warm there in winter.
 University geologists say the ex- planation of mystery lies in the fact that extensive veins of Ignite coal underlying the spot were set afire in some manner possibly a hundred or more years ago and have been burn ing ever since. The coal will con- tinue to burn indefinitely. the geolo- gists say.

GERMANS EAGERLY
 GAVE UP"

LONDON. Sept. 2S.-The first con- signment of British wounded from the latest big battle on the western front reached London at midnight. The battle. which really began on Fri day. was preceded by terrific artillery duels. after which the Anglo-French troops stormed the German trenches, taking prisoners and making a great gain.
 The Daily Mall today quotes one of the wounded officers as saying: Sat urday morning, under a hurricane of shrapnel our infantry leaped out of the trenches and charged the trenches of the enemy. the first of which was 400 yards distant. While our artil- lery covered our advance we reached the German trench. There was some fine work with the bayonet and hun dreds of Germans gave themselves up with apparent eagerness. Their will lingness to be captured was the most surprising thing of the whole busi- ness. Many of them were old men, who seemed crushed and exhausted. Our forces took eight trenches in a series of short, sharp rushes, al- though our losses were severe"
 The French are now battering the second group of German defenses in the Champagne country. while the British to the north apparently have been able to withstand the force of all the German counter attacks.
