titude of the present Administration
toward the Mexican people was woe
fully disappointed, The platform
declares for a scrupplops regard 1 tor
Mexican sovereignty and plainly warns w 9S'

ton is military subiugation." More
over, this official document carries
the information which the forthcom-
ing note to Mexico will contain -
namely, that American troops will
remain in. the unsettled section OF
that country until order is restored.
The labor planks in the platform
are the most sweeping ever incor-
porated in such measure by any
political party. They pledge the De-
mocrats to a living wage, an eight
hour day, safety appliance legisla-
ton, workmen's compensation, child
labor laws, protection of women
workers, civil service retirement
system, regulation of prison-made
goods and to the Seaman's act, pass
ed by the last Congress. This is it,
orally all that the labor leaders ask

WHAT THE
PRESIDENT DID

The concluding paragraph OF the
American note to Germany, April 49,,
is as follows:
"Unless the Imperial Government
should now Immediately declare and
effect an abandonment of its present
methods of submarine warfare against
passenger and freight-carrying YES
sells, the Government of the United
States can have no choice but to
sever diplomatic relations with the
German Empire altogether"
The German reply contained the
following:
""The German Government, guided
by this idea, notifies the Government
of the United States that German
naval forces have received the fol-
lowing order: In accordance with the
general principles of visit and search,
and the destruction of merchant YES
sells recognized by international law,
such vessels, both within and with
out the area declared a naval war
zone, shall not be sunk without warn
ing and without saving human lives,
unless the ship attempts to escape
or offer resistance.
Diplomatic relations between the,
United States and Germany we're con-
tinued because Germany yielded.
This is the reason why certain Ger
mans in this country are bent upon
defeating President Wilson.
The concessions obtained by our
Government, in the interests of hu-
manity and international law, were
substantial. The Naval and Military
Record, of London says:
"The contrast between what the
German U-boats were doing two
months ago and what they are doing
now is altogether too striking not to
encourage the idea that something
has occurred to modify their activity
very profoundly. The simplest expla-
nation is that President Wilson's last
:,ote did the trick"
Professor Albert Bushnell Hart, of
Harvard, was at the Progressive con-
vention, shouting Justify for Roosevelt
Therefore he holds no brief for Wood
row Wilson. But he reviewed the
correspondence with Germany a
month ago, and said:
"The two essential things upon
which the United States has insisted
are distinctly yielded, namely, the
safety of American ships (not car
rying contraband) from any destruc-
ton by submarines, and the equal
safety from destruction of Americans
on merchant ships. If no vessels are
sunk without warning, then no Am
orleans will be destroyed without
warning; and there will be no more
need of protests or suggestions Of
ccasing diplomatic intercourse. That
is the main thing that the United
States wants.
The Philadelphia Record callst at
tention to the fact that after this
was written Germany made hard con-
cess;on 1t admitted, what it had at
first denied, that German submarine
attacked the Sussex; it admitted that
this was in violation of the law of
nations, and assured the United States
, that the commander of the submarine
had been punished.
!; President Wilson is under attack
from certain Germans in this country
because, in the interest Of American
! rights, of international law, and Of
! the principles Of humanity, he OBJ,
liged Germany to eurtail the use o.
I! torpedoes against merchant steamers
: Is there single American who viii
vote against PRECEDENT Wilson be-
cause he maintained American right:
against a foreign Power?

to be more powerful than any that
the Russians have had heretofore

Hints for Beauty Seekers

To remove perspiration odor, fire.
one dram alum and one pint water, or
one pint of water and two heaping tea
spoonfuls bicarbonate of soda. A
powder paste of one ounce alum, two
ounces orris root, and two ounces pow
dered rice will also help to check ex-
cessive perspiration. The too lavish
use of %perfumery of any kind should
be avoided, as 1t shows lack Of taste.
Every woman desires to have a nice
head of hair. How to preserve 1t, il
have 1t, and how to secure 1t If
you haven't it, is a veXing problem TO
many, but the only way to solve it is
to go to the root OF the matter. This
root is good health. says a writer in
Farm and Home, which means proper
food, exercise, sanitation, ventilation
and an optimistic mind which refuses
to worry. Do all in your power to
secure these essentials to good health,
and the battle Is more than half won.
If the teeth and mouth are always
kept clean. there would be fewer COM
plants about decayed teeth and tooth
ache. Clean the mouth after each
meal, rinsing with water to which has
been added a little alum, salt or bicar-
Donate of soda, tincture of myrrh, or
~llsterlne, peroxide of hydrogen-any-
thing that is cleansing or antiseptic.
Use the toothbrush up and down,
across OF the inside as well as the
outside of teeth.

Treatment for Oily Skin

Powder is often an unsatisfactory
way out of the difficulties of an oily
skin. Powder will never cover the dis
agreeable traces of perspiration on the
face or excessive oil secretions. Pow
ders are excellent for ordinary pur-
poses, being to a great degree alb
sorbent. But when there is any special
inclination to oiliness on the face other
measures must be taken. Proper To-
tons should be applied. Among the
best Is one made of boracic acid and
rose water and another of the same in
gradients with distilled witch-hazel
added. The following recipe is for ex-
treme cases: First thoroughly wash
the skin with pure soap and warm
water; then apply this lotion :Sulphate
of zinc, half dram fannie acid, half
dram ; powdered alum, half dram wa
ter, eight ounces. Then dust the face
with this powder: Salicylic acid, 20
grains; boraclc acid, n ounce. Do
not use oils or coldcreams on the face,
but do not be afraid of generous appli-
cations of pure toilet waters and
cologncs. Abstain from highly spiced
and oily foods; also candy and rich
sweetmeats.
