ION BEING
{ BEAUTIFUL

There are about as many standards
of beauty as there are people who
give the subject any thought, but on
one point all are agreed-no woman
can be beautiful or even good looking
unless her complexion is perfect. This
is fully realized as is proven by the
tremendous quantities Of so-called
face lotions, creams, rouge and pow
der that are constantly used in the
hope that they will cover up defects
and give the appearance Of natural
good complexion. These things help
to conceal the real condition Of the
imperfect skin, but do no permanent
good-in many cases are injurious
and really deceive no one because
their use is so perfectly apparent.
The only way to have and keep q
plump, smooth face and neck. free
from wrinkles and dryness and with
healthy color, is to care for the skin
in q natural intelligent name. by
giving it proper nourishment and
food. The very best thing We know
of 10 Usit, the pure nut-eil liquid
preparation that needs to be applied
only for q few moments at night be-
fore retiring. Usit a. has been fully
proven by thousands Of women. sup
plies just tho elements the wrinkled,
dry, faded skin requires, and it is
remarkable how quickly it shows re-
suits. 1t banishes wrinkles, the nat
ural color comes back, and with it
smoothness and youthful appearance.
It is q splendid treatment also for
freckles, black heads and many forms
of eczema. 1t does not cover up-it
cures. Usit is made Of purest nut
oils, from an old Egyptian formula,
is delicately perfumed, guaranteed
not to cause any hair growth, and is
delightfully."- clean, in contrast to
greasy pastes and creams. O'Don-
nelps Drug Stores, Peoples Drug
Stores and all frst-class dealers can

HIT COTTON SNAC'
Southern Senators i'm New Re-
volt Against Food Bill.
Attempt To Close Debate and
Vote Again Fails.

Washington, July 3.-Holding the
new cloture rule in reserve, admins
tration senators today made another
futile attempt to get the opponents OF
the food bill to voluntarily agree on
a time for a vote.
Senator Chamberlain, in charge OF
the bill, warned the senate that more
than two weeks have already been
used up in discussion and that he be-
lived all senators who intended
making speeches had done So He
asked for a vote on the bill today at 5
p. m.
Senator Penrose at once objected,
declaring that he favored free and
fair discussion" and objected to the
use of the steam roller" in forcing the
bill.
Ants Cry Steam Roller"
Senator Chamberlain replied that it
was not his purpose to urge the use
of the steam roller" and he had no
desire to imply that there had been
any filibuster.
Without record votes and with lit
tie debate the senate adopted many
important committee amendments to
the bill including the section defining
and Furnishing boarding of neceSsar-
les and the provision for government
licensing of imports, exports, manu-
facture, storage, mining and distri-
button of necessaries. The committee
amendment limiting licensing to agen-
cieS and products in interstate or for
eign commerce was adopted-one of
the principal features of recent OPP
position to the legislation. The SEN
ate also adopted the provision exempt
ing farmers, gardeners and livestock
growers from the licensing provisions.
This was another amendment upon
which senators opposing the bill have
laid great stress.

WITHIN z WEEKS
Human Lottery Plans at WASH
ingtOn Are Complete.
Stage Being Set for Drawing of
Men at Capital.

Washington, July 3.-Every energy
of the provost marshal generals Of
flee today turned toward finishing the
multitude of preparations for the hui
man lottery of the draft within two
weeks.
AS the first move, kilograms were
sent out today to each local board to
their preliminary duties by next Sat
urday, July T. By that time General
Crowder hopes to have every one of
the 100000 registration cards des-
ignated with their key numbers and
copies in the capital.
With this tremendous task finished
everything is ready for the lottery of
men. The stage is being set for the
drawing in Washington.
In an office of the war department
the numbers will be chosen at ran
dom. AS each number is pulled out
it will be flashed by telegraph to cverv
local board in the country.
Each number drawn will indicate
about $3.50 men-the men assigned
that number in each specified precinct
in each state.
With the exception of New York
City, all of the local exemption boards
are appointed. Many of them are or
ganlzed and ready for duty. They are
ordered to give each registration card
a serial number, irrespective of alpha
pellcdl Oruef. IheSe names and num-
bers will be posted publicly and pub
| llshed in the press. A copy must be
sent to the war department in Wash
ington and the adjUtant general of the
state.
Meantime nominations are coming
in for the district or appellate boards
of exemption Greatest care is being
taken with these appointments as they
have the most difficult task of the
draft-eXemptiOn for occupational
grounds and review of appeals.
The quota of men that each state
must furnish for the armies, is being
figured by the provost marshal gener-
ais office. To aid in the fair appor-
tionment, General Crowder called
upon the census bureau for a set of re
vised estimates of the states popula-
, ton. In making up the estimates the
bureau is taking into consideration the
total registration of each state to
avoid penalizing the state in which
registration failed to equal the former
estimates.
