At very little cost any woman can
rid her face of hairy growths if she
will use the delatone treatment. This
is made by mixing some water with a
little powdered delatone. This paste
is spread upon the hairy surface for
2 or minutes, then rubbed off and
the skin washed, when every trace of
hair will have vanished. No harm re-
suits from this treatment, but care
should be used to buy real delatone.-

clared to the House military committee
in session yesterday that he was COM
PEELED to reject fatty all compromises.
He was inclined to yield on minor points,
such as ages of CONSUMPTION, but insisted
on the selective CONSUMPTION plan.
At a Republican Senate caucus yester-
day afternoon it was decided that Re-
publican senators would stand behind
the presidents conscription plan
With unfavorable reports from the
House on the possibility of CONSUMPTION
going through, the president summoned
the Republicans to his aid in final
effort to get prompt action on the mill.
tary bill, which he feels is absolutely
vital.
Chairman Dent of the Touse military
affairs committee will see the president
and, it is understood, will report that
the CONSUMPTION bill cannot be passed
unless provision is made for first trying
out the volunteer system.
Lack of support from constituents was
cited by many middle west representa-
tives as acting as milestone against
their approval of the presidents desires.
One Republican member from this see
tion favors universal training" but is
opposed to "conscription," Boys of 10, he
believes, are of admirable age to as
simulate military training to advantage,
but should not be compelled to serve in
actual fighting
The brunt Of the fighting should fall
upon older men, he said. Those of
mature years could better withstand the
hardships."
Another western Republican said
frankly that to vote for CONSUMPTION
without first giving the volunteer sys-

ed as showing which way the wind blows.
Opinion prevails here that central and
far west is not fully alive to the real
war conditions facing this country, and
some kind of an "awakener" is neces-
sary. Roosevelt, many in Congress be-
lieye, could deliver the punch to rouse
the country perhaps better than any 9th

scription army bill fail or be modified
