With the government obtaining it's
steel for the proposed feet of ocean
going vessels at comparatively low
price. it is feared that unless some
restrictive action be taken. the price
of steel and iron to other industries
will attain unheard-of Levels within a
short time.
That. it is pointed out. might be
brought about by the natural law OF
supply and demand, as the govern
ment's requirements, when filled, would
leave an inadequate supply for other
industries.
The present program calls for the
fixing Of prices of all grades and kinds
of steel and iron. and pig iron. both

that iron and steel for use in the man

cultural implements is necessary for

BY vALESKA SURATT.

In all the history of beanty-are, 1 doubt whether there Is anything quite 90 remarkable as the results accom- plished by the mixture given below. lt is as simple as 1t is remarkable. Under it's influence the skin takes on . most unusual youthful plumpness, and wrinkle and deep lines seem literally to melt away. Ask your druggist for a one-ounce package of xintone, and mix it in pint of water, adding two tablespoonfuls of glycerine. You will accomplish the desired result by using the result ing cream very freely and very often. The zintone will make over pint uf this unequaled rejuvenator. Soon you will notice that your freckles will disappear. know how difficult you have found it to remove that grainy appearance of the skin. This 4is particularly way want you to try the formula given above. After g time the complexion will be a uni form tint; t will clear wonderfully X and take on the tint of rose-petal, without defect. If you will use 1t faithfully, literally and every day you will not fail.
 @ FANNY T. G.-Nothing that you have ever done for your face will so astound you as the effect of the fol lowing formula on wrinkles. It will be the same story of surprise l get from all my friends. Get from your druggist two-ounce package of ep. tpl, which will cost fifty cents. Mix this eptol in . half pint of water, and a6d two tablespoonfuls of glycerine. and your wonder worker is ready. It will make you look years younger in ' few days.
 TROUBLED-It is impossible to hays a more thoroughly cleansing 6ead-wash and shampoo than Is se' cured by dissolving a teaspoonful of eggol in a half cup of hot water Enough eggol can be secured at any drug store for twenty-five cents to tive over dozen of these head Washes.

 FOR NEXT MEETING
The Pulpits of the City's COl0red Churches Will Be Filled Today By the Visiting
 Preachers.
(By CHAs. sTEWART.)

(By CHAS. STEWART.)
 Most all of the negro churches of Pine Bluff will have some of the visi- tors in their pulpits today. While the delegation to very large extent has left the city there are many left over who will talk to the people today on the right manner of living, pointing out to them as their guide the Bible and Jesus Christ as their example.
 The visitors have been loud in their praises of Pine Bluff and the manner in which they have been treated by their own people and courteous treat ment accorded them by the good white people of Pine Bluff, and each express ing a desire to return to the city. These visitors from all parts of the state did not make any more work for the city, as these people looked strict ly after their business and each seem- ed to have only in mind the raising of $25,000 and the paying of an in debtedness of the Arkansas Baptist college, the institution supported strictly by the colored people.
 Faith in Prayer.
 "What we are and what we have been able to accomplish as a race in America" said Dr. C.. w. Sandefur who conducted the opening of the con- vention yesterday, ''we owe it to our fathers and mothers back in the days of slavery who had faith in prayer, and who did pray night and day, until God heard their prayers and put it into the heart of Abraham Lincoln to write the emancipation proclamation. Now the young negro of today, if he would God will hear our prayers, and will make for us still more friends right here in the South"
 Following the reading of the journal by Dr. J. w. McCrary, resolutions were passed expressing thanks to the citizens for courtesies, to the daily press for publishing the doing of the convention, and to all who in any way contributed to the success of the con- vention.
 f Express Appreciation.
 l ''I want to express my thanks to the daily press of this city and state for l the manner in which they have treat
 ed us in our efforts to reach the un- reached and to make sentiment for us," declared Dr. B. c. Morris, land we are certainly making progress when we can get the daily papers to give us some attention. They have told their readers what the negroes
 of Arkansas are doing for their social
 uplift and betterment, and how we are
 struggling to make citizens. I am

ELDER M-Hereafter, if you have trouble getting the neroxin for black heads or the zintone for the complex ion, send fifty cents, which is the price of either one of them, to "Secre- tary to Valeska Suratt, Thompson Building, Chicago" It will be for warded to you at once by mail.
 HIDEOUS-The face powder I use is made after my own formula. It is called "valeska Suratt Face Powder" It is free from the chalkiness of nearly all face powders, and is su- perb in fineness, amoothnesa and scent. It is now sold in drug stores at fifty cents box, in white, flesh and brunette.
 ANNOYED-There will be no more drudgery, dread or danger in remov- ing superfluous hair if you will simp- ly moisten the hairs with sulfo solu- ton, which your druggist will supply you for about one dollar. As the hairs are kept moist for a few mo- ments the hairs crinkle up and on bathing the skin the latter Is found to be as hair-free as that of new born child. It leaves the skin in ex- quisite condition, and never leaves U spot or mark.
 MISS w. IF. Lit is absolutely certain that your hair can be forced to grow luxuriantly, and the thin spots filled out in short time. have never known the following formula to fail when used faithfully for a short time. Besides it is more eco nomical than any hair treatment you can buy. To one pint of bay rum, or to half pint each of water and alcohol, add the contents of a one ounce package of beta-quinol, which you can get at any drug store for fifty cents. Apply tSis daily. It con tains no oil.
 HANNA R.-You can get rid o1 blackheads almost as quickly as ex' blaming how to do 1t. In few mo ments you can positively get rid oi them all. It may be hard to believe but 1t is true. Get at the drug store some powdered neroxin, sprinkle some of it on hot wet cloth, and rub it over the blackheads. Then looA in the mirror, and see the remark able results.
