To Keep Skin in Fine
Condition All Summer

II would be much better for the skin
II little cream, powder or rouge were
used during the heated term. Mixed
with Precipitation, dust and CRIME, these
things are anything but identifying.
Ordinary mercolized wax will do more
for the complexion, and without giving
an oily. streaked, spotted or pasty APP
pearance. II Ia the ideal application for
the season, as Il not only keeps the
pores clean, but daily removes particles
of scarf skin which have been soiled by
dirt or weather. BY constantly keeping
the complexion clear, white, satiny. II
does more toward perpetuating a youth
full countenance than any of the arts
or articles commonly employed. One
ounce OF mercolized wax, obtainable at
any drugstore. will completely renovate
the worst complexion. IL is applied at
night like cold cream and washed of
In the morning.
To keep the skin from sagging or
wrinkling, or to overcome such con-
dition. there's nothing better than a face
bath made by dissolving 1 ounce pow
dercd saxolite in v pint witch hazel.

Irish Clergy Not Blamed
For Uprising at Dublin

ROME. May 3o.-From unofficial in
formation received at the Vatican 1t ap-
pears certain that the Irish clergy were
not implicated in the revolt Of Dublin.
In any case the Pope will on the first
occasion publicly condemn the revolt
and disavow any connection between
the leaders and the Catholics In Ire
land lest his silence should be misin-
terpreted for taclt approval or sym
patty.
There is good reason for believing
that when Mr.. Asquith was received in
audience by the Pope the anti English
and unpatriotic attitude of some Irish
Catholics was discussed and that as a
result word was sent from Rome to
some members OF the Irish episcopate
deploring unpatriotic sentiments ex-
pressed In their Lenten pastoral letters.
II IL also known that the Pope COM
planned to the rector of an Irish institu-
ton in Rome that Its members had no
intercourse with the British legation
and pointed out that II was to the in
stitution's advantage to be on good
terms with the legation since otherwise
British protection could not be claimed
when needed, adding that since Italy's
alliance with England there was no
room in Rome for unpatriotic British
subjects.

REPUBLICAN OPINION

uration as President, have OBJ

perity for all the people rather
than a special prosperity for the

tions. Wall Street has been

FOUR STEERS BRING
FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS

J. K. Davis delivered four
head of steers to Smith 4 Brow

received IN exchange their check
for $dOo The steers were three
years old and grass fed which
is another evidence of the prof,,
that Is to be derived from RIM
hlng steers on the pralr,es os
this section.
Shortly after the Herald
learned of this sale. the editor
chanced to be looking through
some of our exchanges and not
ed that number of them car
ried articles relating to tn,
prices OF farm products and
stated that the high prices that
were being received hy the far
mers were due to the European
war and not to the democratic
party. We quite agreed with
them and always will maintain
that no party. republican or
uemoG Tat, car control the prices
OF products, under all cond,-
tlons, But. we had hardly di-
gested our weekly exchanges be
fore we picked up a bunch of
rot sent out by the republican
congressional committee in
which was contained table
showing the comparative cost of
tood products now and during
the last republican administra-
ton, and, the democratic party
was given all the blame for the
high cost of living. What we
cannot understand is: Why is
the European war responsible
Tor the fact that beef on the
hool has gone up IN price and
the democratic party responsi-
bic for tAe high price of beef
on the block? We know abso-
lltely that not all meat cutters
are democrats.

ThreshIng is progressing rap

Though an increased acreage
of rye and winter wheat is
