A Never Failing Way
to Danish Ugly Hairs
(Aids to Beauty

No woman is immune to superfiu-
Gus growths, and because these are
likely to appear at any time, it is
advisable to always have some della
tone powder handy to use when the
occasion arises. A paste is made
with some of the powder and water
and spread upon the hairy surface;
in about . minutes this is carefully
removed and the skin washed. You
will then find that your skin is en-
tirely free from hair or fuss. Be
sure. however, to get real delatone.

ANOTHER BRIEF
FILED IN
CONTEST

The reply brief of Judge Wicker
sham, In the matter of the contest for
the office of delegate to congress. has
just been received In this brief ar
gument is submitted upon the points
covered by the testimony taken in Al
aska during the last summer, and the
law is quoted in support of the argu-
ment. ..
The issue as raised by this testi-'
mony is really very simple, and in
wolves the right of the Russian-Al-
cuts living at Kodiak, Afognak and
Seldovia to vote. The same question
is attempted to be raised by Precinct
No. in St Michael, but by reason
of the fact that Mr.. Suffers attor-
neys wholly failed-to show for whom
the alleged Illegal or fraudulent votes
! at that precinct were cast, the COM
mittee of the house in considering
the contest must necessarily ignore
the protest. In other words, from the
testimony it does not appear whether
the votes claimed to be illegal were
cast for Wickersham or Sulzer. so
that there is nothing before the house
of representatives upon which it can
act.
Coming in a different class are the
1 Indians at Klawak, Craig and Sulzer.
some of whom were permitted to vote.
while the right was denied to others
The brief on these points is re-
cital of the historical relation Qst) of
the Russian to the Indians of Alaska,
and to the Russian government ori-
ginally, and afterwards to the govern
ment of the United States, and shows
that the votes of the former are legal
while the latter are illegal
The question of the rights of sol
diers to vote was fully discussed by
Mr.. Wickersham in his original brief,
and his present brief is largely con-
fined to proving that federal officials
and military officers conspired togeth-
and then to prevent evidence being
taken of the fraudulent voting.
