AMER|CAN-MEX|CAN
Commission MEETS
Secretary Lansing Outlines
Scope Of Work---First Ses-
sion This Afternoon

New York, Sept. A permanent,
not merely temporary solution OF the
border problem is sought by this gov
ernment through the meetings of the
American. Mexican commission, appoint
ed to discuss the general points of con.
troversy between the two countries,
Secretary of State Lansing told the com.
missioners here today.
Addressing the Mexican and Amer.
lean representatives at lunch, Lansing
declared:
''To reach such a settlement, one
that will be lasting and sure, it will
be necessary to go to the root of the
matter, to consider international rights
and duties and to discuss the relation
of the individual to the state as well
as the relation of the state to the indi.
vidual, subjects fundamental to social
order and to the intercourse between en-.
lightened governments
Lansing urged that the commissioners
of both countries enter their meetings
in spirit of frankness, trust and sym.
pathy.
Most of the conferences between the
American and Mexican commissioners
are to be held on the presidential yacht
Mayflower. The yacht is now in New
York harbor and is understood to have
been ordered to be ready to sail for
New London on Wednesday. Reserva-
tions have been made at the Griswold
hotel, New London, for the commits
sioners.
The commission planned to hold its
first formal session this afternoon.
The commissioners this afternoon for.
mally selected New London as their
place of meeting and set the first con
ference for tomorrow.

l.. Tooze and G. 0. Holman. Plaintiff
in this case complains that county
warrant issued to her in payment OF u
claim under the widows pension law
is withheld from her by the Silverton
bank. Mr.. Tooze states in his answer
that the warrant is being held until
Mrs. Kephart shall have paid to aim
and Mr.. Holman money due them Tor
legal services.
The warrant in question is issued in
the sum of SSl6.25. From this amount
Mr.. Tooze has placed claim OF S535. 80
for attorneys fees. Mrs. Kephart re-
CARDS the claim exorbitant, and from
this the dispute arose.
Mr.. Kephart was killed few years
ago while engaged in work near town,
leaving a wife and large family in
comparatively poor circumstances. She
was entitled to widows pension, but
owing to some ruling of the county
court her claim against the county was
ignored for long time. After some
waiting she employed Attorneys Tooze
and Holman to handle her case, and
the fee, it seems, absorbed all of her
claim except $2S0.65. Mrs. Kephart is
a hard working woman and has the
sympathy of all Silverton in this un-
fortunate case.-Silverton Tribune,

TO DISCARD FRECKLES,
TAN, PIMPLES, WRINKLES

* x X x x x X X X X X x x x 4
The use of creams containing anima
substance sometimes causes hair tt
grow. You run no risk of acquiring
superfpluous hair when you use ordi
nary mercolized wax. There is moth
ing better for discolored skin, as the
wax actually absorbs the offensive Gu
ticie. The latter is naturally replaced
by clear, smooth, healthy complex
ion, full of life and expression. 1t :
tine sensible way to discard freckled
tanned, over-red, blotchy or pimpled
skin. Get an ounce of mercolized wax
at any druggists and apply nightly
like cold cream, erasing in the morn
ing with soap and water. 1t takes
week or so to complete the transforma
ton.
The ideal wrinkle remover is made
by dissolving an ounce of powdered
saxolite in a half pint witch hazel
Bathing the face in the solution brings
almost instantaneous results.

ARE MEDICINES LIQUORS?

A certain class of prejudiced and
jealous doctors call patent medicines
only alcoholic beverages. They will
tell you that such and such a medi'
cine contains as mucn alcohol as q
glass of beer or certain quantity
of whiskey; but they do not mention
that the beer or whiskey is swal-
lowed at one draught, while only a
small quantity of the medicine is
taken at one Dose AT the same time
they will use alcohol quite as freely
any many in four or five times as
great proportions in their own prescrip-
tiOns.
Such standard remedies as Lydia E
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound use
barely enough alcohol to preserve the
root and herb extractives; too little to
have injurious effects; and the nell
cine can be had, if desired, in non
alcoholic form.
