the same work, though in less dra-
matte manner. Congress has enacted
a law which goes into effect on July
1, 1913, according to which all the
alley dwellings in the District of
Columbia must cease to be used for
dwelling purposes. Meanwhile. in
order that there may be accommoda-
ton for those who will be forced to
seek new homes in street houses,
there has been organized limited
dividend company which is to build
houses that will be not only sanitary,
that will provide not only abundance
of light and air, but houses attractive
architecturally, homelike in their ar
rangements and containing bath
rooms and provisions for hot water
in place of the old outdoor closets
and hydrants.
Such houses as these cannot, OF
course, yield the return upon the in
vestment that the old houses did. In
fact congress in it's act incorporating
the Ellen Wilson homes, limited its
dividends to five per cent. net. But
they will yield to their stockholders
a dividend in the form of satisfaction
because of needed work well done.
To their tenants they will give relief
from preventable sickness and death
and an increase in the joy of living.

HoU to Look Years
Less Than Your Age

The most aged face will look years
younger after the use of ordinary
mercolized wax for from ten days to
two weeks. This remarkable sub
stance, because of its peculiar alb
sorptive power, actually removes the
thin ven of faded or withered outer
cuticle, little at time. Gradually
the fresher, more youthful skin I'M
derneath is revealed. This absorption
process being purely hygienic one
an entirely natural complexion is &C
quired-quite different from the arti-
fetal complexion. which appears any
thing but girlish, though often bear
ing painful evidence of childishness.
An ounce of mercolized wax, obtain
able at any drug store, is sufficient
to rejuvenate any complexion. It is
put on like cold cream at bedtime,
and removed mornings with warm
water.
To eradicate such age marks as
wrinkles and burrows, make a wash
lotion by dissolving l or. powdered
saxolite in " pit. witch hazel. This
has wonderful astringent and tonic
properties. 1t quickly effaces all
kinds of wrinkles, no matter how
caused. making the skin firm, smooth
and young looking.

The Iowa window box idea. which

Plans have just been completed for
the erection Of series of model
homes in the city of Washington for
the purpose OF demonstrating to the
nation the relationship between good
housing and good health. These are
to be known as the Ellen Wilson
homes, and are not in the nature of
an experiment, but are intended as
demonstration to the entire United
States.
The intimate connection between
bad housing and bad health and good
housing and good health is clearly
recognized in Washington, where the
alley dwellings have long been a mat
ter of concern both to the health
authorities and to public spirited citi-
zens who wish the capital city to be
an example to the nation. The alleys
have been paved, sewers and water
mains have been laid in them, they
are lighted and cleaned as are the
streets. Yet they keep their old lead
over the streets when it comes to
totaling the figures for disease and
death.
In this, Washington's experience
has been like that of Liverpool and
other European cities which tried
uuSuCCcSSlully W Ildko Uduly SlIudleu
dwellings wholesome by cleaning and
fumigating. After thirty-three years
of unavailing effort to improve that
which was fundamentally bad, Liver
pool finally decided that the only
hope lay in wiping out its insanitary
areas. 1t demolished the old houses
by the acre and in place of them built
new houses. Where dwellings, have
been crowded SO close together that
there was scarcely passage room for
q stout man to squeeze his way to
one of the old rear houses, it built
new dwellings opening upon wide
spaces which provided light and air.
linn ediately sickness and death de-
creased-and with them vice and
crime. What had seemed hopeless
was won.
Other cities in Europe have done
the same and with the same results,
but what makes Liverpools figures of
unusual value is that the new houses
are occupied by the same people who
occupied the old ones. In some cases
the population on a given area in the
new dwellings is SO percent the same
as that which lived on the area in the
old buildings. So here the effect of
housing is not complicated by ques-
lions of different occupants, Of better
food or cloth ing or a generally higher
standard of living. The housing only
has been changed and the results are
striking.
Washington is attempting much

an evaporating partition.
The box was first successfully used
at Davenport, Iowa, where a cam
paign similar to the present Getty

Quoted here was carried out with
great success. Other boxes of the
same make are being exhibited at the
w. & w. flower store, South Main

other stores. All who propose to sell
the boxes will do so at the net cost
so as to encourage the use OF them.

Nebras ka,s Hopeless Ballot.

Lincoln Journal: Disgust over the
ballot juggle was quite universal in
Nebraska yesterday. In some quar-
tiers disposition was shown to
blame the newspapers for not telling
the voters how to choose between the
large number of citizens offering
themselves for Office. But the news
naner men were not able to decide for
themselves when confronted with the
enormously long ballot, and in many
cases were obliged to skip offices en-
tirely because they could not make an
intelligent choice. The fact was that
the people were given an impossible
task in this hopelessly long ballot.
The remedy most often discussed is
change in the primary law. That
will be a mere palliative. The short
ballot is the only permanent cure Tor
the evils we all see so plainly.
