Don't Hide Them with n NeiI-Remoye
Them with the Othine Prescription,

This prescription for the removal of
freckles was written by a prominent
physician and is usually so successful
in removing freckles and giving
clear, beautiful complexion that 1t is
sold by any druggist under guarantee
to refund the money if it fails.
Don't hide your freckles under a
veil; get an ounce of othine and re-
move them. Even the first few appli-
cations should show a wonderful inn
provement, some of the lighter freckles
vanishing entirely.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength othine; It is this that
is sold on the money-back guarantee.

TO SETTLE DISPUTE
Discussion Of Affairs
With Mexico to Be
On Broad Basis
TIME AND PLACE
NOT YET CHOSEN

(5y Leased Wire to New Mexican.)
Washington, Aug. 9.-Formal an.
nouncement was made today by Act
ing Secretary Polk of the acceptance
of General Carranza's proposal for a
joint international commission to
seek a solution of border disputes and
to discuss other matters which may
clarity relations between the United
States and Mexico. Only the time and
place for the conference remain to be
decided.
Secretary Lane, Of the interior de-
partment, will head the American
commission, supported by Associate
lJustice Louis ID. Brandeis, of the SUI
preme court, and a third commission
Ell, whose name Will be announced
Elater. A telegram asking the third
man to serve was sent today by Presi-
dent Wilson and his name will not be
disclosed until his acceptance is re-
ceived.
The Mexican commissioners we're
named some days ago, Luis Cabrera,
minister of finance in the Carranza
government, heading the delegation.
This made necessary the appointment
of a member of President Wilson's
'oabinet in the American membership,
Today's announcement followed a
brief conference between Mr.. Polk
and Eliseo Arredondo, Carranza's
ambassador designate. Final assur-
ance was given by Mr.. A%rredondo
that General Carranza was in com
plete accord with suggestions of the
Washington government that the dis
c%ussions of the commissioners be
given the broadcast possible scope.
The ambassador said that his govern
ment regarded its present note as a
full answer and acceptance OF Seere-
tary Folks suggestions that the scope.
be b%roadened.
As it begins its task, the commits
sion will be required first to reach
some agreement on the specific points
outlined by General Carranza in his
original proposal. The first subject
treated under this view will be the
withdrawal of American troops from
Mexico, % be followed by negotia-
lions for a protocol covering future
military operations along the border.
Since these two points are closely in
'terwoven, it is believed the com
mission will couple them together in
recommendations it has to
make.
The Immediate military situation
on the border of, the commission
would be ready to proceed with its
specific task, even to determine
whether interests desiring interview
aion have inspired border raids. It is
believed the commission win be left
to map out it's own curse in tracing
the source of these raids. Without
doubt, it will have power to travel to
the border, or if necessary, into Mex
eco in following up its inquiry.
There have been limitations that
American insistence upon broadening
the scope of the commissions powers
has been due to the hope that a way
of giving constructive aid to the Car
rama government could be found.
Secretary Lane has been in close
toucn with the Mexican situation ever
since he entered the cabinet. Next
cans here are known to be well
pleased with the selection Of Judge
Brandeis. They believe that he has
a natural sympathy with the powers
Of the revolutionary movement in
