.ISIT PEACE MOVE?
Z. p. Gives Bonus to Brother
hood Employees Also.
All Its Men VIII Receive an
Extra Months Pay.

In the fact that the Union Pacific,
which is distributing an H. c. of T..
bonus of an extra months salary, is
not discriminating between unorgan-
lied and organized employees. one OF
the local officials sees indications that
the roads and the .rainmen are get
ting together, and that there may be
little or no dangec of the strike which
has been threatened for months by
the trainmen.
The aggregate amount of money
which will be distributed will be tre-
mendously large, on account of the
number of employees who are taken in
on the bonus. Only one year of serv-
ice is required to qualify the employees
for participation in the Christmas
present of the road, and with the ad-
dition of the trainmen to the extra
payroll. the amount will be enlarged.
The majority of the trainmen, accord
ing to the local Union Pacific man, d.
not make more than 1900 a year, al
tho they are popularity supposed to
draw much larger amounts.
More than $4,000 will be distrib-
uted among the Topeka employees of
the company, who are eligible for the
bonus. The money will not be given
out, probably, until some time in jan
uary. The regular formula of making
out the payroll will be followed. and it
requires fifteen days to make out the
department at Omaha. The usual pro-
cedure of making out a months pay
checks will be followed on the extra

To Keep Skin Healthy,
Youthful, Wrinkleless

Now that the social season is here be
especially careful to keep your skin in fine
condition. You know how conspicuous
complexion defects appear under the bright
light of the drawing or ball room. Also
how very evident are some makeups when
similarly illuminated. l have myself dis
carded cosmetics entirely, using a process
which gives far better results, and which
leaves no trace on the skin. At night
| smear on thin coat of ordinary mercol
lied wax, washing it off next morning.
This gradually absorbs the devitalized
particles of surface skin: just gradual
ly the more youthful skin beneath comes
forth, providing complexion as clear
smooth and delicately tinted as a young
girls. Get an ounce of mercolized wax at
your druggists and try this remarkable
treatment.
Remember, too, that wrinkles, even the
finer lines, are not easily concealed in
brilliantly lighted room. You can quickly
obliterate these hateful marks by bathing
your face in a solution of powdered sax
olite, one ounce, dissolved in witch hazel,
one,half pint. And your face won't look
sticky as after using pastes-Aunt Sally
