THE SENTIMENT UNANIMOUS.

A gentleman coming up Ferry street
a few mornings ago had his attention
attracted to couple of Chinese kiddies,
a boy and a girl, each about four years
old. They were on their knees at the
edge of the sidwalk and the boy was
armed with an old hammer and the girl
with a small rock were as busy as gov.
ernment contractors pounding at some
thing they had placed on the walk. His
suriosity still further excited the gen.
tleman slipped quietly up to them and
found the youngsters had cut the round
pictures Of the kaiser from the advertis-
ment of the movie "To Hell With the
KAISER" at that time being shown at
the Bligh. They had two dozen or more
of these and each would lay one on the
walk, face up, and go at it with hammer

HOW TO BANISH
WRINKLES QUICKLY

If your face is disfigured with wrin-
kles, no matter what the cause, You
can quickly dispel every line, even the
mos tobstinate, by using a simple, home
made wash lotion. Merely dissolve an
ounce of powdered saxolite in half
pint witch hazel-inexpensive ingredi-
ents found in any drug store. Battle the
face in this, and-presto!-you scarce
ly believe your own eyes when you
look into your mirror and behold the
marvellous Transformation
The remarkable astringent action of
the saxolite so tightens the skin, wrin-
kles are literally pressed out. Best of
all, this result is not purely temporary
for the lotion also has a healthy tonic
action, which tends to strengthen and
tone up the weakened tissue, and add
ed benefit may be expected with con-
tinued use. Use this once a day for
awhile; it cannot injure the most deli
cate skin. The treatment itself leaves
no trace-no one guesses the secret of
your increasing youthful appearance.

Of all shape. Then they would throw it
aside and get another which they put
through the same treatment. They were
dead in earnest about it and showed the
sentiment they felt against the big boss
by the way they did him up. They
stuck to it too until the last picture of
Wilhelm was obliterated and then left
the job apparently with the conscious
ness of work well done.

URUGUAY DEMANDS
STRONG GUARANTEES
(By United Press)

Buenos Aires, July 3.-gruguay
has declared herself for the cause
of the Allies and has broken diplo-
matte relations with Germany, yet
she has made an arrangement with
Great Britain and France which COM
pares unfavorably with the one these
countries made with Argentina.
Uruguay's contract calls for solid
guarantees. The original plan was
that the governments of England and
France should deposit in escrow
bonds of the Uruguayan public debt
and other securities Of Uruguay. But
it was found out later that the
greater proportion Of these bonds
had been used by Great Britain and
France in other financial transac-
tions, principally in the United
States, and that they were not i'm
mediately available for Uruguayan
purposes.
The English government, when it
found that it was impossible to Sc
cure Uruguay in this way decided to
make a deposit of one million pounds
sterling to the order of the Uruguay
an legation in London, reserving the
right to exchange it later for Uru-
guayan securities.
A similar situation arose in the
contract made between Uruguay and
France. The French government has
likewise used its Uruguayan bonds
as securities on other loans. The re-
suit is that the French banks will be
called upon to make individual guar
antees.
Considering the fact that Uruguay
is one of the foes of Germany, it
seems that Argentina was very gen.
erous in her much larger transaction
with Great Britain and France with
out security Of any kind,
