After Vacation Peel
Your DiscOlOred Skin

Women returning from the seaside
with Drowned, Redeemed or freckled
compilations will be wise in immed-
lately taking up the mercolized wax
treatmen Weather-beaten skin had
best come off, for no amount of
identifying" will ever make such
skin pretty to look at. The surest,
safest, easiest way to shed the de-
spoiled cuticle is with tie treatment
suggested. Put the wax On before re-
firing, as you would cold cream, and
rinse it off next moring with warm
water. Minute particles of scarf skin
will peel off day by day, gradually
showing the healthy, youthful skin be-
meath One ounce Of mercolized wax,
obtainabe at any drug store, is enough
to make any discolored or spotted
complexion clear, white and satiny
soft. It's action is so gentle no harm is
caused and the. face shows no trace of
its use.
Burning heat, irritating winds and
dirt are such wrinkle-makers that the
daily use of the following astringent-
tonic lotion at this season is highly
advisable: Powdered saXolite, one
ounce, dissolved in witch hazel, one
half pint. Used as a face bath this is
splendid wrinkle remover and pre-
ventive.-Adv.

EAT CANNED GOODS,
DURING next WINTER
DECREE OF GROCERS

People will have to buy canned
fruit or do without this winter" said
local grocer, commenting on the
scarcity and high price of various
fruits and vegetables. This will re-
strict the usual home canning. Plums,
which normally sell for 81 bushel,
are now selling at more than 49,
Peaches, of the best quality, which
usually sell for about 81 bushel, are
now bringing $3.50.
This advance in price is caused,
of course, by the shortness of the
crop. Even if people are willing to
pay the increased price, they can OBJ
tain only small per cent of the
amount which they usually buy for
home canning
Tomatoes, which have been quoted
at $125 a bushel, have dropped to
81. Richmond is fortunate, said a
dealer, in being able to obtain any
tomatoes whatever In some locali-
ties the crop is a complete failure.
Potatoes have fallen from Sc to
S5.75 barrel on wholesale quota.
lions. This change has not made any
difference in retail prices 1t is prob
able, however, that there will be a
marked decrease in the price of po-
tatoes soon.

WITH lABORERS

LEWISTON, Me, Sept. Speaking
in Lewiston, the Spindle city, and also
termed the industrial heart of Maine,
Charles Evans Hughes, Republican;
presidential nominee, dwelt deeply on
the labor question
There is no difference what l do or
who / am, as l look into the future l
see no interest that needs more care
full attention and more sedulous con-
servation."
The candidate declared that the dig
nifty of labor must be recognized, and
the conditions of labor must be just
and wholesome.
IF anybody rises in this country to
say that | am not friend of labor he
is not telling the truth" said Hughes.
The speaker again attacked the meth

number of years and then there was a
disagreement and we were separated

the same words by interested persons
in the three divorce cases tried in

vorce from John F. Moore. They were
married in 1884 and lived together un-
til 1901.

At SALEM, OREGON

News OF the sudden death of Mrs.
C. B. Smith, so, formerly Of this city,
at Selam, Oregon, has been received
by her mother, Mrs. c. S. Larsh, OF
Dublin. The word came by telegram

injured in an accident, as she was
quite well short time ago, and had
written a letter to her mother only
last week.
Mr.. and Mrs. C. B. Smith were for
mer residents of Richmond and moved
to Oregon about six years ago. While

SUGAR PRICES
FALL ON MAR I

Following a break in the wholesale
sugar market yesterday, sugar fell
from $500 to S1SS 25-pound sack in
the local retail market today Sugar
had been quoted by wholesale dealers
at $40 a hundred pounds on We'd
nesday, but went to $685. hundred
pounds yesterday, drop on Wednes-
day, drop of three-quarters OF cent
pound The retail market followed
it today with a drop of slightly less
than half cent pound.
Dealers cannot predict how soon the
price will change again. The drop in
sugar came as a result of speculation
in the wholesale market, and it is ex-
pected that the prices may go up again
within a few days. A slight decrease
in retail prices may follow within a
few days if the wholesale market re-
mains firm, as the retail price has not
yet been entirely adjusted to the fall
in wholesale quotations.
