Freckles and Blotches
 Are Easily Peeled Off

If you are bothered with any cu- taneous blemish, it's a poor plan to use paint, powder or anything else to cover 1t up. Too often this only em- phasizes the defect. Besides, it's much easier to remove the disfgure- ment with ordinary mercolized wax. Applied nightly, the wax will gradu- ally remove freckles, pimples, moth patches, liver spots, sallowness, red blotches or any surface eruption. The affected cuticle is absorbed, a little each day, until the clear, soft, youth full and beautiful skin beneath Is brought wholly to view. Ask the drug gist for one ounce of mercolized wax and use this like you use cold cream. Remove in morning with soap and water. Many who have tried this l simple, harmless treatment report as- Ttonishing results.
 If troubled with wrinkles or fur
 rows, a wash lotion made by dissolv-
 ing an ounce of powdered saxolite in
 a half pint of witch hazel, will prove
 wonderfully effective. There is noth- | ing better for drawing in a baggy sklr
 and improving the facial contour. Il acts instantly and will not irritate ever the most sensitive skin.

Patrol Boat Drives
 Of Submarine After J Sinking of Colbert

Paris, May 21-1The French steamer Colbert which was torpedoed in the Mediterranean on April 30, was on her way to Sa1onid when she was sunk The ship was struck by torpedo be- low the water line and the engine room was immediately flooded There was Iio sign of submarine as the ship be- gan to sink rapidly by, the stern The but the bow canted up at such an angle that it was almost impossible to lower the boats.
 Tho Colbert sank in five minutes, and after she had disappeared the submarine emerged and. as is their custom, her commander asked the name. description and destination of her victim. Before he could get hls Information French patrol boat ap- peared and opened fire After four shots had been fired the submarine submerged, just as a seaplane appear ed on the horizon.
 The patrol boat was a trawler and 1 gave valued assistance in rescuing the men from the Colbert Many heroic acts were performed. The Colberts s first officer.

Second Officer Gauthier, one of the last to leave the ship, was scarcely aboard the patrol when he noticed two soldiers drowning. He inn i rnediately dived and saved both.

ARRESTED AS SPY GIRL. KNOWN HERE
 SHOT IN GERMANY
Mile. Ducemitiere Was Gov. erness Seven Years in Dr.
 Lynch's Home.

Friends of Mile. Rose Emma Du- ness who for seven years cared for the studies of Hubbard Lynch, son of pr. John c. Lynch. of Myrtle avenue today are endeavoring to ascertain facts of her repofted execution in Ger many as a spy for the French gov- ernment.
 Following her departure from Bridgeport, several years ago Mile. Ducemitiere was married in New York city and left for France. For two years, lately, it is known that she was acting in the capacity of governess to a German family in Alsace-Lorraine. Dispatches from Germany via Am sterdam three, weeks ago announced the execution of Rose Emma Du7 cemitiere." French governess living in Germany. Though the victim was alleged to have been captured after she successfully transmitted informa- ton of a valuable nature from Ger many into France, the location of the town in which she was caught and executed was not given.
 Dr. John c. Lynch since learning of the incident has endeavored to es- tablish connection with the only knwon relatives of the young woman, supposed to be located in Providence, R. I. Though unsuccessful in gain ing accurate information, friends of the Ducemitiere family in Providence are satisfied that either Miss Emma or sister with similar sounding Christian name has been shot.
 While in this city, Miss Ducemitiere was very popular with the younger set. She was active in all French af- fairs and was generally known throughout the city because of her intellect and striking annearance

HEAT COST MAKES ICE HIGHER

The high cost of keeping warm
has had a direct effect on the cost
of keeping cool, the Philadelphia
Ledger says. In other words, it was
announced by one of the largest ice
companies in the city that its price
on ice would be jumped ten cents a
hundred pounds to the consumer.
The abnormal price of coal, it is
said, has been one of the principal
factors responsible for this increase.
Fifty cents hundred pounds in
stead of 40 cents will be charged by
this company for ice delivered to the
consumer.
1t is quite likely that the price of
ice will be raised by almost every
company in the city. This is the
personal belief of an ice company
official. 1--WE have been struggling
along, barely making ends meet, he
declared. "Our profits have been
eaten up by coal prices"

MAKE PLACE FOR VOLUNTEER
Men Hastily Drawn Together Have
Proved Themselves Equal to the
Task of Defending Country.

An incident in connection with
the water supply at New York states
hastily prepared mobilization camp
at Beekman recently demonstrates
the ability of the civilian engineer in
the National Guard to cope with the
special problems incident to mill
tary service, asserts the Engineering
Record. The troops were obtaining
all their drinking water from a well
at homestead just across the way
from division headquarters. The
commanding officer wished to be abb
solutely sure that the source was
safe. A captain recommended for
this work Private Nabstedt, an engi-
neer who has had considerable expe-
rience in water supply and sewage
work. He was detailed to make
thorough examination of the site,
and in four-page report, accompa-
MED by map drawn to scale, he
indicated all possible sources of pol
luton at the well, and made recon-
mendations for their prevention.
Samples of the water were carefully
taken and shipped to New York for
analysis. Private Nabstedt recon-
mended that the area in the vicinity
of the well be disinfected, that the
water be drawn by means of a short
length of pipe and three-way valve
at a point some distance from the
pump-so as to reduce the possibility
of debris falling into the water-and
that a guard be stationed at the well
to enforce the sanitary regulations
prescribed. Colonel Lucas promptly
issued orders based on these recon-
mendations. Thus work which, in
civil practice, would call for the serv-
ice of a consulting engineer, was
done by man from the ranks.

JUST WHY MUSICIANS WEPT
In the Absence of Newspapers Mu-
steal Critic, Star Reporter Wrote
Up Pianoforte Recital.

+. The musical critic was unable to
attend the pianoforte recital, but the
star reporter on the paper allowed
that he could do the thing easy
enough. And this is how he did it
'Herr Diapason's recital last eve
ming at Acoustic hall was the most
recherche event of the musical sea-
son. Herr Diapason is master in
cantilever, and both in his automo-
bile and in his tour de force he
wrought wonders of tonic stimula-
ton. He was especially potent in
his dolce far niente passages, and in
his diminuendo crescendo appoggia-
tura he displayed chronological skill
that was simply wonderful.
"There was also marvellous mu-
sicianly abandon in the mute bars,
the instrument in these parts of the
score being forcefully impressive in
silent fortissimo. But it was per-
haps in andante capriccioso that he
excelled himself. Here he discov-
cred a coloratura, bravura and an
ensemble that fairly electrified his
audience.
"Herr Diapason, it is true, occa-
sionally erred in an overponderosity
of rutabaga, and again in a too lam
bent lustspiel; but these lapses were
hardly noticeable in his rendering of
cantabilious intermezzo. The recital,
upon the whole, was a marvellous ex-
hibition of poca hontas instrumental
ton and incandescent cavatina."
"Slug A." who takes lessons, said
there was something wrong about it,
although he couldn't say exactly
what, and the managing editor, upon
looking the critique over, was free
to admit that it was all Greek to
him; still he said it seemed to read
all right, so far as he could discover
to the contrary, and it was quite in
the line of the regular critics COM

WERE MASTERS OF WORLD
Roman Lesions subiugated Before AS
Stimulating the Nations Their Vic
torious Armies Had overrun.

The military splendor of Rome has
fascinated young and old for centu-
ries. Wherever one touches later
ancient civilization there are found
the evidences of the presence of the
Roman legions. They are in Gaul,
in England, in Germany. They are
in every country around the Mediter-
ranean basin. They are in the East,
in the heart of Asia. The courier
system for the dispatch of letters and
messages was in their hands. The
legions were the vanguard to make
the newly acquired territories habi-
table and productive. Their station
airy camps became the trading CEN
tiers of the communities from which
the adventurous merchants pushed
onward to spread with their wares
Roman thoughts and Roman habits
and respect for the Roman sway.
When the veterans completed their
years of service they were colonized
and continued in their retirement to
carry on the labors which formed the
greater portion of their active serv-
ice.
The Roman army was human. Its
soldiers were men, some good, some
bad, some humorous, some serious,
some lovable, some despicable, but all
of them eminently human. The pa
pyrus excavations of the past hun
bred years have given us glimpse
into the heart and soul of the Roman
Standardization Herald.
