KANSAS MAY HAVE

A num- al electric light plant

When the lone president urged that
an expert ''investigation'' into the
problem be made before the scheme
was approved, he was overwhelmingly
denounced for his apparent effort to
hold up the project.
Those who are advocating the mu-
nlcipal light plant suggest that the
city vote $1,00O.OOO in bonds to start
the system. Consolidation with the
water works, and perhaps with a gar

With earnings beyond all previous

Referring to the proposed plan for
federal incorporation, Phelan said:
The railroads plan brazenly pro-

debtedness and watered stock. They
are apparently laying the founda ton

Phelan insisted state legislation did
not tend to impair the credit of the
railroads. The real causes for this

struction and administration, he as

FreckLes and Blotches
Are Easily Peeled off

n you are bothered with any cuta-
neous blemish, it's a poor plan to use
paint. powder or anything else to
cover it up. Too often this only en-
phasizes the defect Besides, it's
much easier to remove the disfgure-
ment with ordinary mercolized wax.
Applied nightly, the wax will gradu-
ally remove freckles, pimples, moth
patches, liver spots, sallowness. red
blotches or any surface eruption. The
affected cutic1e is absorbed, little
each day, until the clear, soft, youth
full and beautiful skin beneath is
brought wholly to view. Ask the
druggist for one ounce of mercolized
wax and use this like you use cold
cream. Remove in morning with soap
and water. Many who have tried this
simple, harmless treatment report as
tonishing results.
If troubled with wrinkles or fur
rows. a wash lotion made by dissolv-
ing 1 OF. powdered saxolite in Y
pint witch hazel, will prove wonder
fully effective.
