To Have Perfect Skin
 Throughout the Summer

These days the face needs special care and attention. Flying dust and dirt, the beating sun, are severe on any skin. Their despoiling effects are best overcome by the application of pure mercolized wax. This keeps skin and pores in a cleanly condition, the com plexibn beautifully white and spotless. Discolored, freckled and roughened cuticle are actually absorbed by it. One ounce of mercolized wax. obtainable at any drug store, is sufficient to com pletely renovate soiled complexion. It Is used like cold cream, allowed to remain on over night, and washed off in the morning.
 As the skin tends to expand in warm weather, causing wrinkles toform, a good astringent lotion should be used. Dissolve oz. powdered salolite in F pint witch hazel. Bathe the face in this during the heat of the day or be- fore going out for theatre Or social affair. It is a remarkable skin tight encr and wrinkle eraser.-Adv.

Jefferson County Cotton Planters Are Urged to Pick Punctured BOllS
So Acute Is Situation, That Safety of Crop Depends Upon Results of Work one By Farmers and
 Employees During Next Three or Four Weeks.

this IT acres. across the bayou, the squares were picked up as well as those punctured that remained on the stalk. On the 60 acres, 60 feet away, 75 bales were gathered. The cotton grew, on the last cut, four to six feet in height. At the last gathering of the squares on the 60-acre cut, which was August 10, l5 sacks of five bush els were gathered.
 Every hand on the place is now fully convinced that the only success full way to fight the weevil is to com mence just as soon as the first pune turcd squares are found to gather them from the stalks and from the ground. It does not pay to blow them under. It is very important to get the first punctured squares You check the boil weevil at once. Some wait until the ground between the rows is covered. This is wrong Should wet spell catch you at this time your cotton crop is gone.
 Yours respectfully.
 "'S. c. ALEXANDER"
 This work was done on rich, strong bottom land, where the ravages of the boil weevil are usually worse. After such a practical demonstration can any one doubt the advisabilty of un- dertaking the fight in this manner?
 "The executive committee appeals to every township committee, every large planter, small planter, merchants and our own citizens generally to imme- diately start this work and continue it faithfully for few weeks at least. We suggest that each landowner see to it in person that his tenants do this work thoroughly and frequently We advise night meetings at every town and school house where this matter should he discussed. and those need- ing It be given full instructions. Let us know If any assistance is wanted from us in any way of speakers or otherwise.
 ."If we don't get the boil weevil in the next three weeks, he will very likely get our cotton crep. The plant is too small to make a bottom crop before the weevils get numerous enough to devour it. We ask every one to realize the gravity of the situa- tion, and get busy fighting it."

BOARD ANSWERS PROPERTY OWNERS
 IN LCvEE MATTER
Farelly Lake Commission CTS Deny All Allegations
 in Injunction Suit.

Commissioners of the Farelly Lake Levee district, through their at , torneys, yesterday filed in the chan cery court their answer and demur- e, of the application for writ ofin- junction recently filed by property owners, to prevent the commissioners from proceeding with the work of building the levee and erecting dam across Bayou Meto, as included in the plans of the engineers.
 The litigation, bearing the style "J. H. Games ct el. vs. John M Oracle ct al., commissioners of the Farelly Lake Levee district, has been in the chan cery court for several weeks, but no date has yet been fixed for hearing. Plaintiffs allege, in their petition, that the work proposed to be done by the commissioners cannot be done for $350,000, but will cost several times that amount, and that the building of dam is intended primarily to benefit one large owner of rice lands.
 In the answer, defendants deny each of the allegations made by the plaintiff, and demur to the petition, as whole and on each allegation, on the grounds that none of the ale gations show any cause for action by the court in the premises.
