New Meter Successful.

The latest development in metering
appliances is a coal meter built on the
principle of water or gas meter. This
instrument was devised primarily to
measure the coal consumption Of fac
tory boiler rooms, but it may find a
wider application on a smaller scale.
1t operates on the same principle as
water. meter, the stream of broken
coal pouring down a chute and turn
ing an inclosed vane. The meter can
also be used for grain, according to
the inventor. Its use on coal was en-
tirely successful.

Four young men were arrested by the police Saturday night on a charge of gaming. They gave fictitious names, and were docketed by these names-or rather these fictitious names were given by the police to The Graphic as those of the men ar rested. In police court yesterday, the four failing to appear, the cash bonds of $1O each were declared forfeited But the cases were not in the bona fide names of the men arrested, nor were the names used the same as those given by the police to The Graphic Saturday night. The consequence IS that in Sundays issue will be found an item telling of the arrest of "C. K. Williams, J. B. Sears, Lee Mattingly and Robert Sinkfield," and in this is sue one chronicling the fact that tho bonds posted by "John Ed Herrin, Tom Morris, John Rogers and James Welch," were forfeited. Apparently, the newspaper is at fault, when, as matter of fact, the police records are apparently incorrect.
 While The Graphic fully under stands the motive of officials in shield ing from publicity persons who break the laws, it cannot approve of the prac- tice. It is not that The Graphic de- sires to publish to the world the ar rest, the shame, the misfortune of any, one. Instead, The Graphic would be much better pleased if it could print only news of good deeds. But The Graphic is newspaper, under con- tract with it's subscribers to print the news. Another thing, too, The Ora phic endeavors to be fair. We print the names of some accusel persons, and should print the names of others arrested on similar charges.
 It is not only the police who at tempt to shield from publicity per sons accused of breaking the laws. On frequent occasions in the past, The Graphic's men have experienced diffi- culty in obtaining the names of per sons accused of infractions of the laws. This seldom occurs, however, in the case of negro, or of poor, friend- less persons. There is no difficulty in obtaining names and details when the poor and friendless are involved.
 The Graphic appreciates that in at tempting to shield from publicity some accused persons, the officials are acsu- ated by the best of motives: to save from shame and heartache parents and others who love the accused. It

Youthful, Beautiful
 Skin Easy to Have

You may be as healthy as bird in the air and still have poor complex ion. Changing seasons and temper atures, winds, dust and dirt, are apt to injure any skin, even though the general health be good. When these external influences spoil the complex ion, the natural thing to remove the spoil by external means. Ordinary mercolized wax will do this. It will actually absorb the weather-soiled film-skin, little each day. In week or two you'll have brand new com plexion, new skin. The exquisitely beautiful and youthful complexion thus acquired, comes so easily, without harm Or discomfort, there's no reason why any woman should not adopt this simple treatment. Get an ounce of mercolized wax at any drug store, ap- plying nightly like cold cream, wash ing it off mornings. This will not fail in any case.
 To quickly remove wrinkles, signs of care and age, bathe the face occasion ally in solution of powdered saxolite, one ounce, dissolved in half pint of witch hazel. The result, which is in- stantaneous, will surprise you greatly. The ingredients are of course perfectly harmless.-Adv. ~..-5@., f-
