Real Wonder Worker
 For Wrinkled Faces

Those who have tried all sorts of so-called "wrinkle-removers in a vain effort to lose those unwelcome traces of age, illness or worry, can scarcely find words to express their delight with the wonderful saxo'te formula, once they have given 1t & trial. The success of this method is due not alone to it's marvellous effectiveness hpon the deepet lines and crows feet as we'll as upon the very fine ones but also to it's surpris 1gly quick ac- tion and its entire harm'essness. It's simplicity and its inexpensiven eness are other commendable features. for one need only to dissolve an ounce of pow dered ,saxolite in a ha's pint witch hazel, and bathe the fa.e ;n this solu- tion. At once a remarkable trans formation is beheld.
 It is not only the eff. ct on wrinkles and creases that is so noticeable. but facial contour is remarxa5." imrrov' ed and the face looks younger, One should be sure to ask the druggist for the powdered saxo!ile. The To- 'tion, being so refreshing. is particular ly grateful to tired eyes. r

7 AMUSEMENTS. All advance notices furnished by
 Theatres.
BEST THEATRE.

Today-"Lost in Transit" introdu- ces the familiar and ever-popular Ital- ian characterization of George Beban, and in addition the work of a new act or. The last mentioned goes under the name of Bob White, and may be probably is not quite three years old. Nevertheless, he shares stellar honors with Mr. Beban, and is one of the most winsome babies yet seen on the screen. Around these two, Kathlyn Williams, herself a camera star, has woven a story of strong human appeal, and it is safe to say that Mir. Beban has had no better vehicle for his quaint im- presentations. The production should draw extremely we'll, especially in the theatres catering to women and child ren, but it will look we'll on any pro- gram, being appealing and without any taint of salaciousness or of the problem.
 This picture is a setting and fin ish the equal of any Paramount re- lease, and is most ably played and directed. However, the title could we'll be changed to something giving a clearer idea of the type of story to be expected.

INSPECTION POSTPONED.
Cotton Market Necessitated Presence of Cotton Mill Inspectors
 in Town. |,

Owing to the fact that big changes were looked for in the cotton market, a great majority of the men who in tended going to Monticello yesterday morning to inspect the cotton mills at that place felt it incumbent upon them to remain in the city and look after their personal interests and those intrusted to their charge.
 Messrs. H. c. Couch, D. B. Niven, Mayor Simon Bloom and E. B. Bloom were ready to go. but it was deemed best to postpone their trip until a lar ger number can go for the inspection
 Messrs. Couch and Niven have in vestigated the cotton mills in other states. and are thoroughly conversant with their workings, and local condi- tions, and are prepared to do their part in the work of organizing a To- cal company. Mayor Bloom has been for the mills from the start. and E. R. Bloom is an earnest advocate for the proposition.

BLIND STUDENTS
 IN SUICIDE PACT

Abilene, Kas., Sept. 26.-A suicide pact, in which all the members of a graduating class at the Nebraska State School for the Blind joined as one of the secret ceremonies of their graduation. was revealed when the body of Clarence Gish. 34 years old, was found hanging in his fathers home, near here.
 Of the nine members of his grad uating class, Gish was the last. Each one of the other eight had taken his life, some by shooting. some by poi son, others as did Gish-with the moose. Each had been faithful to his promise to his class brothers. Gish had sought to escape the penalty of his rash participation in the past; he loved his life and wanted to live. But the memory of the passinig of his classmates obsessed him, his mind broke, and he kept the pact to escape mental torture.
 Intimate friends of the young man, who had been blind since an, acci- dent when he was years old, knew of the, suicide agreement into which the nine members of his graduation class had entered. He had confided to these his fear that he would not be able to keep faith with his com rades and had been buoyed up by his friends attempts to relieve his mind. He mad promised them that he would forget the agreement. ,.
 Each student in Gish's class had learned a trade and had gone from the school to more or less success. As each took his life the word was sent to those who remained. They kept in touch with each other until all were gone but Gish. The eighth member of the class shot himself two years ago.
 Gish had learned piano tuning. He lived with his father on ranch near here. He left with his friends a record of the graduating class and its tragedies, with the request that they keep the confidence until cer- tain length of time after his death.
 They have made public only that which had been rumored but hardly credited the existence of the pact and it's observance by every member of the class.

L'FOLLETTE MOST SINISTER FOE
 OF DEMOCRACY

Chicago, Sept. 26.-Declaring Sena- tor LaFollette of Wisconsin to "be the most sinister foe of democracy in this country" Theodore Roosevelt, in a speech on "The Children of the Melt ing Pot" here tonight, denounced pa- cifists and unpreparedness.
 After his address the meeting, held under the auspices of the National Se- curity league, adopted a resolution, offered by Bishop Samuel Fallows and seconded by Judge Jacob M. Dickin- son, former secretary of war, con- demning the Wisconsin senator for his recent public utterances and declaring him unworthy to represent the loyal people of America"
 Brutal militarists of one country" asserted the colonel in connection with his denunciation of pacifists and pro- German propogandists, "hail with joy the growth of pacifisim in another country and the pacifist that has de- veloped in this country has not one quality that entities him to the ad- miration of any honorable man."
 David Starr Jordan, chancellor emil ritus of Leland Standford university, was mentioned among those whose pacifists views was condemned by the speaker, who referred to them as "old women of both sexes."
 The colonel brought the La Toilette phase of his address, which was com paratively short, to conclusion by ex- pressing regret that it was impossible to send the object of his criticism to the German lines.
 q wish we could make him a gift to the kaiser for use in his reichstag. In the senate he is a cause for shame and humiliation to every worthy Am erican."

Fashions of To-Day By May Manton

IN SOp NSeAS 4A4CNN0 Cl1 4lIA- portant element in the present styles for it has become a neces- sity. The newest show shoul- der capes such as this one and are very generally becoming as we'll as exceedingly smart and even chic in effect. This one is very simple being just a plain loose coat held by a belt. The cape is quite sepa- rate and is snapped into place, therefore, it can be omitted if the day is mild. In the illus tration, bolivia cloth is banded with narrow braid to be very attractive. Coats of the kind are being made of serge and of gabardine and of broadcloth and of mixtures for everyday use, and of the various velours finished cloths and the like for handsomer service. For the later season, fur will be used as trimming. The cape and. cuffs edged with fur while the collar is entirely of fur with the coat itself made of velours or of broadcloth, would make an exceedingly handsome gar ment.
 For the medium size will be needed, 3M yards of material A inches wide, 312 yards 54, for the coat, I yard of either width for the cape.
 The pattern No. 9537 is cut in sizes from 34 to AZ inches bust measure. It will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Department of this paper, on receipt of fifteen cents.
 There is no more fashionable gown than the one made with a surplice blouse. The fronts of this one are extended to form sash ends. It is especially adapted to the fashionable pretty soft materials and it combines perfectly with the skirt. In the picture, the ma terial is crepe meteore with the collar and cuffs of .Georgette, but you could copy this design in charmeuse or in other soft satin or in taffeta or in crepe de chine or. in one of the pretty light weight wool materials if you like. There is something of a tendency toward making the skirt of one material and the blouse of another, and sometimes colors are combined. A smart effect would be ob- tained by making the skirt of a dark blue Georgette crepe and the blouse of charmeuse in coral red, with just white collar and cuffs to give relief.
 For the medium size the blouse will require, 25s yards of material 36 inches wide, 2N yards A, and the skirt, 62 yards 36, 5H yards A.
 The blouse pattern No. o56o is cut in sizes from 34 to A inches bust measure and the skirt No. 955o in sizes from 24 to 32 inches waist measure. They will be mailed to any ad- dress by the Fashion Depart ment of this paper, on receipt lof fifteen cents each.
