Skin for Every Woman
(The Modern Beautv.o

skin of unsightly hairy growths. The
paste is made by mixing some water
with powdered delatone. This is ap-
piled to the hairs not wanted and aft
err 2 or 3 minutes rubbed off and the
skin washed, when every trace of hair
will have vanished. When you go to
your druggist for delatone, be sure you
get the genuine article.-Advertise-

The state board of charities has been
discussing the eight-hour question for
two days and it is understood that 1t
has recommended that special ses-
sion of the legislature be called to
meet the situation. DR.. Eastman says
that unless a special session is called it
will be necessary to discharge at least
one fourth at Osawatomie and one half
to one fourth of the people within the
various educational and charitable in
situations in the state. The eight
hour law places the state officers in
very embarrassing position. They
cannot compel or even permit any, of
their employees to work more than
eight hours per day. This will neces-
state hiring nearly double the force.
They dare not pay less for days
work than is now paid and at that
rate the appropriation would soon be
exhausted.
As a result there are but two RENE
dies Either they must call a special
session of the legislature or they must
send home one third to one fourth of
those under their care.

YOUNG WILL

MISSIONER
FORSAKES HIS DETERM MINATlON
TO RUN FOR LEGISLATURE AT.
TER PETITION OF FRIENDS is
PUBLISHED.

County Commissioner G. ". Young,
Of the first commissioner district,
announced last night that he would
heed the quest of his friends who
petitioned him to abandon the idea of
making the race for the legislature
and asking him TO enter the race for
reelection, which appeared in the
issue of yesterday, and that when he
returned to the city his official an
nouncemert would appear in the
proper columns. Mr.. Young announc-
ed some time ago that he would not
/ be candidate for reelection as coun-
/ ty commissioner this year, but the
pressure became so strong that he
was compelled to yield to the re-
quest of his friends, and will once
more become a candidate.
This determination rather compIi-

ers' district, John Mulkey and Cleve
Sampley having already announced,
and it has been whispered that an
other citizen may shy his hat into the
ring, but this is speculative, and since |
the advent of Uncle Bud" this man
may reconsider his original intention
This leaves a large void in the
ranks of the aspirants for the office
of representative from Carter county.
When it became generally known that
Mr.. Young would be in the race, |,
there seemed to be a disposition upon
the part of those who had harbOred
the bee, to keep out, and give him a
clear field, Now that he is out of
the running, the question is: Who is
going to be the man to succeed Kelly
Brown, who has left Ardmore and re
sides in Muskogee.
Several whispered predictions have
been heard, but the most prominent
ly mentioned up to date is the name
of John f. Easley, editor of The Daily
Ardmoreite, who is being urged by
his friends to accept the job and
take a hand in making laws for the
state. h
Mr. Fasley is too well known to
the entire citizenship of the state to +
require an introduction here, and if
he can be induced to run, the chances
are that he would meet with no OPP ,
position in the primaries
But-the race is young yet Poll
Tics and politicians are hard to fathom
and there is no telling
what might happen before the ldes of
August.

CARTER
WORKING FOR
MINERAL SALE
BILL INTRODUCED IN HOUSE PRO.
VIDEs FOR SALE OF COAL AND
ASPHALT DEPOSITS OF cHOC.
TAWS AND CHlCKASAWS.

Congressman Carter is at this sea
sion of congress making strenuous IF
forts to have law enacted wlC,
will provide for the sale of the las
ChoCtaw and Chickasaw tribal Prop
erty, the sale of which has not al
ready been provided for. The law ha.
been drafted by Mr. Carter. Senator
| owen, Captain McKennon and the tri
bal attorneys, and provides for the
sale Of the coal and asphalt dCHos.ts
| in the segregated mineral lands Of
/ the Choctaw and Chickasaw nations
/ 1t will be remembered that the Sup.
| Elemental Agreement provided for The
sale of this property, but when that
agreement was consummated and Cor.
Gress by act of April %, 1906, ami
before Mr.. Carter went to congress
from this district, withdrew the prop
crty from sale
The bill, which has been drafted,
has been approved by the tribal au-
thorities and has also been approved
by the committee of business men
which the town of McAlester sent to
Washington to work for the enact
ment of such a law. The bill pro
Ndes that the coal and asphalt de-
posits shall be offered for sale six
months after the passage of the law,
under rules and regulations to be pre-
sCribCd by the secretary of the in
terror and approved by the president
of the United States. The lands are
not to be sold in tracts of less than
800 acres, except isolated tracts of
a less amount may be sold and in no
case shall sale be made for less
than the appraised value. The terms
are 20 per cent in cash at the time
of the sale and the balance due is to
be divided into four equal annual
payments, and drawing ; per cent
interest. Following the first sale
second sale will be held one year
later at which time the deposits for
feited for non-payment. and those re
naming unsold, shall be offered for
sale to the highest bidder without
conditions.
For the purpose of thoroughly ad- |
yertising the properties and for con-
Quoting the sale, the bill provides
that $4,000 shall be appropriated out
Of the tribal funds and an office
shall be established in the city of
NcAlostor to carry out the proyis ons
If the bill.
This proposed law is in harmony
With the sentiment that prevails in this
country both among the Indians and
lmong the whites. For years efforts
nave been made to have the United
States dispose of the tribal proper
les and divide the money among the
indians White people who know the

Or. Aked Comes for Fateful
Conference With Mr.. Ford.

The Times was deeply impressed with
its interview With DR.. Charles +. Aked
upon the European situation, published
upon his arrival in Detroit, and feels that
il gave evidence of wide knowledge, OF
sound judgment and of courage to look
disconcerting facts in the face
DR.. Aked has discussed the war and
possible terms of peace with responsible
statesmen of Germany and Of Russia.
He comes direct from the PentecoSt Of
Calamity" and speaks from frst-hand
knowledge.
Pending Mr.. Ford'S decision on ques-
tons TO be submitted to him by DR.. Aked
at a conference between these two gen.
tlemen tomorrow, a detailed plan of fu
ture operations is withheld from the
press. but enough has been gathered from
conversations with this ambassador Of
peace to Justify our confidence in DR..
Aked's views.
They strike us as eminently sane.
There is nothing Utopian or dreamful
in them.
They are the plan of a daring and origi-
nal thinker who has had business train
ing and who has had the good fortune TO
be associated for many years with some
Of the largest commercial transactions on
TWO continents.
DR.. Aked's international experience has
fitted him for the great work
which Mr. Ford has entrusted to him, and
if now Mr.. Ford approves his project for
continuing Cancellation there is substan-
tial reason for believing that the ideal
ism, courage and generosity of the multi
millionaire will be justified by achieve
ments which will give him the desire of
his heart and an enduring place in the
history of mankind.
The Times, as peace proponent, would
be greatly pleased TO see DR.. Aked return
TO Europe with authority from Mr.. Ford
to carry out his eminently reasonable and
statesmanlike plans
And il will watch with keen interest
the early unfolding of the same, should
the interview with Mr.. Ford turn out
auspiciously, as il trusts and believes viii
be the case.
