A harmless, yet very effective,
treatment is here given for the
quick removal of hairy growths:
Mix enough powdered delatone and
water to cover the undesirable
hairs, apply paste and after or
8 minutes remove, wash the skin
and the hairs have vanished. One
application usually is sufficient, but
to be certain of results, buy the
delatone in an original package.

BRYAN DISCUSSES
RAILROAD PROBLEM

Washington, Aug. 29.-William
Jennings Bryan today laid before the
house interstate commerce commit
tee his dual plan of state and federal
ownership of railroad lines as a So
luton of the railroad reorganization
problem. In doing 80 the former
secretary of state denounced private
ownership Of the railways as inde-
fensible and intolerable and charac-
terized railway magnates as political
corruptionists.
ssWe have never tried government
ownership" declared Mr.. Bryan, re-
ferring to the railroad administra-
ton. "A subsidized newspaper never
thinks to tell that the government
took. over the railroads when the
private owners could not run them.
The government has been only in
temporary control and the roads in
the hands of those who wanted to
see government ownership fail so
they could get the roads back"
Mr.. Bryan said the railroad must
be considered as monopoly and
"that no one can defend a private
monopoly unles sthe has so much
stock in it that it silences his con-
science"
Mr.. Bryan agreed with the funda-
mental proposition of the Plumb plan
that the government should own the
roads, and such naturalization he
asserted was better than priavte
monopoly.
AS for political power under a ma
tionalization scheme, Mr.. Bryan de-
clared the government could do no
worse than private ownership, for
the railroads have been in politics
every day for the last 25 years." Sen
ators and representatives, State OFF,
cials and others have been elected
because of railroad influence he
charged.
