CAMP DODGE
MAY BE MOVED?
Army Officer Thinks Conditions in
City May Result in Armys
Taking Cantonment Away
From Capital.

That Des Moines may lose Camp
Dodge is the opinion of an army Off
Ger who has been stationed at the
cantonment for several months, and
who has been in Keofuk recently.
The reason he assigns is that there
are conditions which police authori-
ties seem unable to control and the
military officers are expecting to see
the cantonment closed as the result.
They seem unable to secure any
convictions on bootlegging cases and
vice conditions are generally bad"
was the way the officer expressed
himself.
1t is hardly thought possible that
any new cantonment will be built in
case Dodge is closed. 1t is believed
that the troops would y, moved to
some other post in case move was
made.

SURE WAY TO REGAIN
ROBUST BLOOM OF YOUTH

A smooth, velvety-soft skin, with a
delicate peach-like bloom, is one OIL
the Creators most exquisite works.
When the first blush of youth is
over, this beautiful tint and satiny
lustre are rarely seen. How to pre-.
serve them-that's the question.
Famous beauty experts abroad long
have known that ordinary mercolized
wax works wonder in this direction.
1t actually gives a new surface to the
skni, restoring that marvellous girlish
color and softness in remarkable
manner. An ounce Of this wax, pro-
durable at any drugstore will con-
vert faded, wornoue, discolored,
freckled or pimply complexion into
one of captivating loneliness in less
than two weeks.
No special skill is necessary In APP
plying mercolized wax, 1T being
smeared on at night like cold cream
and washed off in the morning.
