PRESIDENT TO
NAMEHISOWN
MANFOR DC.
COMMISSION
Report of Dark Horse Is Fol-
lowed by Injection of CIar-
ence R. Wilson in Race by
Mis- Friends.
By BILL PRICE.

There were signs today that Presi-
dent Wilson will nominate q new
Commissioner for the District within
four or ave days, and the few who
understand the situation were conf
dent that the selection will be man
whose name has not heretofore been
mentioned in connection with the va
cancy.
The President has been giving seri-
Gus thought to choosing q man OF ex-
ceptionally high qualifications. and,
unless there is a change In his pres
ent mood, the next Commissioner Will
be one whose name has played no
part in the speculation up to this
time.
The vacant District Commissioner
ship has become a veritable puzzle
from one end Of the District to the
other, with President Wilson holding
the key to the mystery.
c. r. Wilson In Race.
An absolutely new personality has
been injected into the fght-Clarence
R. Wilson, former United States at
torney for the District. Seemingly
without the authority OF Mr.. Wilson,
VINO mas just returned from MS sum-
mer vacation. his name has been
whispered from one part of the city
to another as the real dark horse in
the situation.
At the executive offices not q single
scrap Of writing has been filed in be-
half Of Mr.. Wilson and officials there
know nothing Of what Is actually behind
the talk OF his name. Whatever has
been done in his behalf has been with
President Wilson directly. through those
having access to him
II know nothing about the use of my
name" said Mr.. Wilson to The Times
representative today. II heard about It
last night for the first time am too
busy to look into It"
But would you be really interested
in a position Of that kind?" Mr.. Wilson
was asked
We'll. I should have to think that
over" was the answer. leading to the
assumption that Mr.. Wilson would not
back away II he saw the position getting
close to him
Nathaniel Wilson, father of Clar-
ence R Wilson, member Of the same
firm, has been for many years the
attorney for Gait & Brother, OF this
city, and is held in high esteem by
friends OF President Wilson. In some

Company D Bladder
Is Unusually Frank
Bit of Journalism

When newspaper men die and
60 to heaven, they will probably
be allowed TO write for a sheet
like the Company d Bladder"
which announces with absolute
frankness, in Its issue today, that
'Iieutenants are officers with one
bar on their shoulders who are
looking for two, whereas an en-
listed man wears no bars and
generally fnds them all"
Not bad stun, 1t seems, for the
new journal Of Company D. Third
D. C. Regiment. at Fort Myer.
The things printed on a type
writer, and there are no rules
about writers getting editorial in
news stories.
The daily fashion note predicts
a tendency toward sweaters and
khaki as the reignlng winter
mode for the company.

FouR-FoLD Benefit

From Two Grand Medicines In Spring.
You know that physicians often give
two prescriptions. perhaps more, or
medicines to be taken tog ether, or al
ternately or at different times.
One reason may be that the medi-
cines are ncompatible"-do not agree
when closely mixed in taking-or that
desired results cannot be secured by
one medicine alone.
The most successful combination
spring medicine treatment that we
know of-because perfectly "compat-
ible" and productive of the best re-
sults-is in Hoods Sarsaparilla and
peptiron Pills. The former thoroughly
searches out and expels impurities
from the blood, while Peptiron Pills
give the powerful tonic-they literally
put iron into your blood"
Hoods Sarsaparilla should be taken
before meals and Peptiron Pills after
meals-patients taking them so report
the benefit is prompt, posi-
tive, permanent. Both these medi-
cines are economical and pleasant to
take.

The aged, faded, or discolored surface
skin may be gradually absorbed, in an
entirely safe and rational manner, by the
nightly application OF ordinary mercolized
wax. Within a week or two the underly-
ing skin, youthful and beautiful to behold,
has taken the place Of the discarded cuti-

the morning it is erased with soap and
water. It's the best thing known for
freckles blackheads. pimples. moth patch

For the deeper wrinkles and crowsfeet
an excellent and harmless recipe is Pow
