Then Why Not Treat Your Skin
As Beautiful French Women Dor

Paris:-science has discovered that
fadded, mottled, aged.looking com.
pleSions can be virtually renewed and
made surprisingly beautiful by means
o fthe following recipe: Merely wash
your face with clear, warm water and
rub in teaspoonful OF Creme Toxic.
lon Roseated; wipe the face and ap-
ply Poudre Petalias-a very fine com
plexion powder prepared especially
for shiny noses and bad compilations.
II your face is badly wrinkled, get
a box Of Japanese Ice Pencils to use
in connection with the roseated
cream and you should get quick &C.
ton on even the deepest wrinkles.
Thus do famous French actresses pre-.
serve the rare beauty of their com.
plexions, and If you were to pay hun.
dreds of dollars for special treatment
you probably would not be anything
like as well of as by using simple
and inexpensive recipe. The articles
mentioned above are supplied in this
city by The South Side Pharmacy.

PREVAILING HOT WAVE
Present Torr:I Conditions Win, it Is
Said, Pass Away at the End Of the
Week.

While hundreds Of people have
perished from the torrid conditions
which have prevailed over a large
area in this country during the past
few days, no one has died in Alex
andria, and but few prostratlons
have been reported. All creation,
however, is suffering and signing for
"gales Of Araby" or even gentle
zephyrs to bring some relief from
the fierce beams of the sun.
The torrid conditions of the day
have beea followed by exceedingly
uncomfortable nights, as the heat
generated during the day IS by
process of nature kept upon the earth
after the setting of the sun.
At an EARL hour Tuesday morning
the northeastern heavens were aglow
with lightning. No thunder, however,
was heard, a; the storm then raging
was about fifty miles from Alexan-
andria. It 5.cke over Baltimore,
where lightning struck in several
places. The disturbance brought only
temporary relief, however.
Conditions in Alexandria and vicin-
ity last night were exceedingly op-
pressive. No signs Of breeze could
be detected. and the leaves Of the
trees were as immovable as those IN
pictures. In the meantime perSpira-
ton was standing in beads upon
sweltering humanity.
Conditions early this morning were
equally as oppressive. There was no
breeze to temper the heat, and as
the day advanced the rays Of the
sun became oppressive and danger
Gus.
There is, however, relief in sight.
There is a pressure area hover
ing over the lake region, and it has
many millions of gallons Of rain in
it. 1t is heading this. way, and may
reach this vicinity tomorrow or Sat
urday. certainly by Sunday, when the
hot wave VIII have ceased to eXer-
rise it's influence.

AWAITING 4 PROPOS Al.
Germany Will Attempt to Make
Peace Before War Turns AgaiRs.
Her-Allies on the Alert.

The diplomats of allied nations
expect proposal from Austria
Hungary in the immediate future,
suggesting an armistice on all fronts,
This is the next illogical" move to
be made by Germany in its efforts
to make peace before the war turns
against the Teutonic alliance.
Germany's peace overtures havlrg
been rejected, fresh overtures are TO
be made by her satellite, Austra-Hun-
gary. The general proposals will bs
made liberal, so as to serve as an
irresistible bait to the allies, and es-
pecially Russia.
Acting through his puppets at Wen
ma, it is Emperor Williams inten-
ton to bring ;bout an armistice Lc-
fore winter, ir the opinion of the al
lied ENJOYS The basic purpose OF
this armistice will be to debilitate
among them, and thus make it i'm
possible for them to resume war IN
concert.
One having secured an arnhstice
it IS to. be prolonged BY intrigue ana
false proposals until such time as the
German general staff has assembled
force for decisive blow.
The allied government exchanged
views long ago, however, on this
question of an arnistice. They will
not consent to a suspension of hostl.'
tiles. They Inow the interior condi,
ton of Germany and Austria-Hun'
gary and. appreciate fully the rca,
sons which compel the Teutons tc
seek relief. Instead of granting this
relief, the allies will redouble theil
military and naval energies.
The stoppage of Germany's i'm
ports from northern neutrais IS II
nrocess. The neutrals are getting
nothing from the United States that
could be trans-shipped to Germany
Anything that Germany now OBJ
tains from t!as neutrals is taken from
