Government Ownership of
Railroads

Manila, P. l., January 10
Governor General Harrison has
recommended that the legislature
ratify an agreement for the pur-
chase of the Manila railroad,
capitalized at 8,00O,0OO pesos,
now available in the insular
treasury and the balance in eigh-
teen months.
The government already has
financed the construction of the
road to the extent of six million
pesos. The war has prevented
the English company in charge
of the construction from obtain
ing funds for completing the
work and the governor general
says that government ownership
is necessary for the protection
of the governments investment.
Early ratification of his recon-
mendation is expected.

Cosmetics Not Needed;

One reason mercolized wax is so strongly
recommended Is that 1t really takes the
place OF several different cosmetics, saving
time. patience and expense. II is better
than any cleansing cream, better than
any massage cream. and better than any
rouge, for accomplishing the results for
which such articles are used As the wax
