GlRLlSH, WRlNkLE-FREE
SKIN EASY TO HAVE
Since its remarkable astringent and

Since its remarkable astringent and
tonic properties became known, clever
women all over the world have been
using the saxolite face bath to tone
up their faces, remove wrinkles and
draw flabby cheeks and necks back to
normal. After using the solution, the
face Immediately feels much firmer.
The skin tightens evenly all over the
face, thus reducing lines and saggi-
ness. The formula is: Powdered saxo-
lite, one ounce, dissolved in witch
hazel, one-half pint.
This simple and harmless face bath
is a splendid thing for the outdoor
girl, since sun, wind and flying dust
are so provocative OF squirting and
other ccrtortions which cause wrin-
kles and crows feet, Also it is fine
to freshen up tired face in hot, de-
pressing weather.

abroad to fight and perhaps to die
in European wars.
States that had never gone demo
cratic went for Mr.. Wilson because
! the voters believed his solemn pledge
that he would keep the nation out of
war.
Yet as soon as Mr.. Wilson was
elected he put the nation into war.
This article is not discussing
whether Mr.. Wilson did right or
wrong in precipitating the nation
into war.
Let us assume that he did exactly
right.
Still the fact remains that he did
make war after he had promised to
maintain peace and that the election
Of Mr. Wilson did not mean the per-
feet peace and abstention from
European conflict which he had de-
clared it would mean, but did mean
just the opposite-bloody war.
Therefore, how are we to know
that Mr.. Wilson's pledges are any
more trustworthy today when he is
campaigning for the league Of ma
lions and perhaps for its presidency
than they were three years ago when
he was campaigning for the presi-
dency of the United States.
And If there are some who still
believe that Mr.. Wilson's promises
are sincere and his policies founded
on fixed conviction, how are we to
know that his judgment is any bet
ter today than it was three years
ago when he declared that his cleo,
ton meant peace? If the league OF
nations means the perfect peace
which Mr.. Wilson says 1T means
then every peace-loving American
citizen would ardently support the
league. but II it merely means TIE
entangling alliance with European
nations and participation In Eur O.
pean wars which George Washington
SO solemnly warned us against, then
patriotic and peace.loving American
citizens will not support It,
In deciding whether to follow the
advice of George Washington or
Woodrow Wilson, 1t would be wtll
to remember that George Washing
ton never made misstatement, but
that no cherry tree incident hss
ever been related Of Woodrow VIII
son.

MANY fields of wheat are disap-

sometimes entirely destroyed. In
other instances the grain is nearly

Can We Trust the League Of Nations

Ing for his league of nations Mr.
Wilson declares with great positive.
ness that the adoption of the le.gue
Is the only way TO keep us cut OF
war, If this were true, everybody
would be for the league.
But Is it true? Can Mr.. Wilson'S
statements be depended upon? Or,
assuming that he means to tell the
truth, can his judgment be depended
upon?
In campaigning for his reelection
in 1916 Mr.. Wilson declared with
equal positiveness that his re-elec-
ton as president was the only way
to keep us out of war. For example:
In letter to Senator Stoae, Feb.
"a, 1916, Mr.. Wilson said:
You are right in assuming that l
shall do everything in my power to
keep the United States out of war.
9 do not doubt that l shall
continue to succeed"
Addressing delegation of Scandi-
navians who visited him in the white
house on March Is, 1916, he said:
Il can assure you that nothing is
nearer my heart than keeping this
country out of war"
And speaking at Shadow Lawn
Sept. 80, 1916, to twenty-five hundred
young men from New York and New
Jersey, Mr.. Wilson declared:
"The certain prospect of the sue.
cess of the republican party is that
we shall be drawn in one form OF
another into the embroilments of the
European war;
The convention which renominated
Mr.. Wilson was controlled by direct
wire from the white house, and the
burden of all the nominating
speeches and the tenor of all the
proceedings of the convention were
that Mr.. Wilson had kept us out OF
war and that the only way for us to
continue to keep out of war was to
re-elect Mr. Wilson.
The whole succeeding campaign
was made on that issue and Mr.. Will

Tricks In Grading Wheat.

Ottumwa was recently visited by Mr..
Glare. One of the men who helped
grade wheat on the Chicago market
gave the demonstration. He showed
how sample of wheat could be made
to test sixty pounds per bushel by our
ing the wheat from height, or fifty
seven pounds per bushel by letting
the wheat into the bucket as easily
as possible. The same sample test
ed fifty-eight and one-half pounds
when poured into the bucket in a
normal way BY manipulating the
weighing, the grade was greatly
changed. The method used at the
terminal markets Is to pour the
wheat into hopper shaped like a
funnel without spout. The open.
