How You May Change
Your Face Completely

Any woman not satisfied with her
complexion can easily remove 1t and
have new one. The thin veil of
sitting haif-dead cuticle is an en-
cumbrance and should be removed to
give the fresh. vigorous. young skin
underneath a chance to show itself
and to breathe. There's a simple, old
fashioned remedy which will always
do the work. Get an ounce of pure
mercolized wax from your druggist
and apply it at night like cold cream.
washing 1t off in the morning. The
wax will gently, absorb all the life;
less skin and leave healthy and
beautiful complexion. as fresh as a
child's. Naturally it takes with it all
such facial blemishes as freckles,
moth patches, sallowness. liver spots,
pimples. 1t is pleasant to use, and
economical. The face so treated soon
looks years younger.
To keep the skin free from wrinkles
and burrows there's nothing quite so
good as the old reliable saXolite To-
ton. 1t is only necessary to dissolve
an ounce of powdered saxolite in a
half pint of witch hazel and battle the
face in this as required. The result
is instantaneous and wonderful. and
there is no harmful effect whatever

Mrs. S. d. McAbee, 122 Dewey

The reason women write such
grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink
ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has
brought health and happiness into
their lives. Freed from their illness,
they want to pass the good news
along to other suffering women that
they also may be relieved. This is
praiseworthy thing to do and such

FRUIT CROP MAY
BE ESPLENDD ONE
All Signs Favorable Say the
Reports to the Department
of Agriculture

Prospects for splendid crops of
apples, peaches, pears, plums and
cherries remain most satisfactory
throughout a greater part of the
state, according to reports received
by the State Department of Agricul-
ture from its crop correspondents in
the various townships of the state.
While frost killed many. of the
pecah buds in the central and north
ern counties, all indications point to
bumper crop in the big peach
growing localities" says a State Of
fetal. The reports on the condition
of peach buds show ar average of
so per cent. as compared with a
normal yield and last year at this
tune the percentage was for only
about so per cent. of normal yield.
The apple prospects indicate a
crop of about 90 per cent. of normal
and the figure for pears is the same.
RUINS snow marx OF w per cent.
of a normal yield and cherries 81 per
cent. In some sections the cherries
have been affected by the cold
weather and it is Likely that the
crop will be somewhat lower than
the percentage figure would indicate
at the present time. 1t promises to
be a splendid fruit year with the fruit
growers being especially fortunate
in helping along in the movement for
larger crops which is forcing agri-
culture of all lines 20 its very limit"

New York, June 6.-The first de-
tailed news from Donald B. MacMil-
Ian, head of the so-called Crocker
Land expedition, announcing that he
and his companions had only enough
supplies to last until August of this
year, and urging that another relief
be sent to them. has been received
here by DIR. Henry Fairchild Osborn,

would sail about July l from Nova

Robert A. Bartlett, for Etah.
Although the expedition has been
one of the costliest on record. it is
said that from a scientific viewpoint
the results have fully justified the ex-
penditure. While Crocker Land,
which Rear Admiral Peary believed
he saw. proved to be a mirage, the
Macmillan party discovered six new
islands. mapped and explored Finlay
Island. and gathered geographical,
botanical, archaeological and ethno-

NEARLY SIC, 900, 900 AN HOUR
into the Treasury Department
at Washington.

Washington.-Subs to the
liberty loan poured into the treasury
department at the rate of nearly $780,
100000 an hour. The greatest outpour-
ing of national wealth in the history
of the world was foreshadowed by the
first days response to the offering of
the loan.
The sheaf of kilograms from every
section of the country grew larger as
the day progressed. Five hundred
kilograms, less than two per cent OF
the total number of banks from which
replies are expected, had been classi-
fled by states and tabulated when the
office closed at pm. These 500 re.
sponses carried offers of subscription
to the amount of $13s,674,00o.
The greatest flood Of responses came
between and p. m, after the offices
had closed. It was estimated that 500
more banks were heard from withif
the two hours.
The $138,6T4.000 of subscriptions
tabulated May 4. representing less
than two per cent of the banks alone,
indicates that the $2.OO0,000,0 600 offer
will be oyersubscribed at least 100
per cent. Should the ratio of the first
responses be maintained in replies
from the other banks. the banks and
their customers alone would offer sub
scriptions totaling approximately ST.
00O.000,000.
One subscription of $20,000,000 was
received from a bank in New York.
Another was for $5,0O0,0o The small.
est subscription was $4,000. New
York led the list of states with sub
scriptions. .aggregating approximately
$4,000, 900, over half total amount.

Washington.--In an appeal "to the

tary Houston declares that they can
do their "bit" most effectually in the
national emergency by practicing ef-
fective thrift in their households The
appeal was prompted by many requests
for statement as to the service wom-

tion of producing and conserving agri-
cultural products.
Every woman can render impor-
tant service to the nation in its pres
ant emergency" says the appeal. She
need not leave her home or abandon
her home duties to help the armed
forces. She car help to feed and
clothe our armies and help supply
food to those beyond the seas by
practicing effective thrift In her own
househild.

saves from being wasted in her home

produce in the garden and can or pre-
serve-every garment which care and
skillful repair make 1t unnecessary to
replace-all lessen that households

ITO save food the housewife must
learn to plan economical and properly

offer excessive and wasteful variety.

methods to protect food from spoilage

must acquire the culinary ability to

peas and milk products as partial sub
stitues for meats. She must make 1t
her business to see that nothing nutri-
