Hairs Will Vanish
After This Treatment
Toilet Helpsl

You can keep your skin free from
hair or fuzz by the occasional use Of
plain delatone and in using it you
need have no fear of marring or in
turing the skin. A thick paste is
made by mixing some Of the pow
dered delatone with water. Then
spread on the hairs and after 2 or
8 minutes rub off, wash the skin
and all traces of hair have vanished.
Be careful, however, to get real
delatone.-Adv.

Johnson Delivers Terrific Attack
Against League of Nations

The Democratic national committee. on
May e, went on formal record as holding
the League of Nations covenant the para
mount issue before the American people.
and called upon Congress for an immediate
vote OF approval of both the covenant and
the peace treaty.
Heated debates in Congress have revealed
that the Democratic party is not unit on
this question. Senator Robinson, of Arkan-
sas, who championed the League the other
day, IN speech challenged Senator Reed of
Missouri an arch opponent of the League,
to join him in resigning and seeking reelec-
ton as test of the sentiment in their states.
Both are Democrats.
Senator Hiram Johnson, of California, on
June 2, delivered in the Senate one of the
most powerful attacks yet sustained by the
League of Nations, which he characterized
as gigantic war trust. He said:
1t is not a league Of nations to prevent
war In It's very creation, it has been stripped
OF every idealistic purpose it ever had It
contains within itself the germs of many
wars, and worse than that, it rivets, as in
the Shantung decision, the chains of tyranny
upon millions of people and cements for
all time unjust and wicked annexations It
is great world economic trust, wherein
few men, sitting in secret, may control
the economic destinies of peoples. 1t is
not league of peoples, nor does it any,
where concern itself with peoples
He pictured the United States as the one
solvent nation of the world entering into
partnership with national bankruptcy
He summarized the results IF tho ,eoce

months of meddling and muddling in Euro

Adriatic Question Settled, Says
Paris Paper

The Temps, of Paris, states that an agree
ment has virtually been reached on the
Adriatic question, whereby Fiume, with the
region to the west, will form an independent
state under the League of Nations. lara,
capital of Dalnatia, and Sebenico, 20 miles
southeast of Triest, on the Adriatic, will
be placed under the sovereignty of Italy,
which renounces any other part of the
Dalmatian coast and hinterland.
Italy will exercise sovereignty over GER

date over Albania, where the pact of Lon
don assured Italy preponderating influence.

We have been Informed on good au-
thority that dental parlor is also a
drawing room and sitting room. When
the people fill the room the dentist fills
their teeth. He fills their teeth with
gold and they fill his hand with sill
yer. They grind their teeth with fear
and anxiety. He grinds their teeth
with a burr and an emery wheel. They
shrek for assistance and he calls for
assistants. He gives 'em gas and then
charges 'em for it. They ask him to
give them credit foa the work he does
himself. He calls the teeth hollow
when it's the owner Of them who does
the following. And so on, ad infinitum.

HAIL "PUNKIN," KING OF PIES
Who That Has Ever Tasted the Real

You can't spell punkin pie with an

with cloves and allspice. "Punkin" pic

sometimes hint of an unmention-
able beady fluid about which one

One grows hungry at the thought Of
"punkin" pie-the crisp, crinkly crust;
the thick, rich, pungent filling, with the
dust of cinnamon furnishing its 'awny
top; the creamy, dreamy, velvety, far
away taste as ones mouth closes on
its prize. Some appetizing joys there
are, but none that exceeds capturing
a piece of "punkin" pie, getting it into
ones hands, contrary to all social
usage, biting into it until one almost
mires up to ones nose, until one can
scarce see over the top of the upstand-
ing crust, and beginning the unequaled
delight of devouring the first mouth
full. To tas it is to love it. Love
but it, and love forever.-Milwaukee

trembling; she was so very obvious
ly after him. He cured. her, though,

and stopped him.

where she could talk about herself.

said. 81 have always been used to
having man about the house, anu l

She turned and gazed away to the

hastily:

don't worry! You know the wind is

United States lire News.

Tires are so important part OF
the equipment of an automobile, that
the experienced motorist does not
care to lose his money or his temper
making experiments. He buys tires
that have proved their worth. after
years of testing, leaving it to others
to shoulder the expense of trying out
the novelties that come and go.
1t is in this fact that the United
States Tire Company finds the ex-
planation for it's steadily mounting
sales among those who want good
tires.
Present day efficiency demands
that the automobile owner keep a
careful account of all his costs and
that he know the exact performance
of each tire. 1t is among this class of
BUYERS. that the United States lire
Company finds its best customers.
Many large corporations, which have
reduced their tire buying to science
and place their orders where they get
the most service for the money, use
UNITED STATES tires exclusively.

RESPONSIBLE, BUT NOT RE-
SPONSTVE.

Republicans wanted office and
sought power, but apparently they
are unwilling to accept and dis
charge responsibilities. This fact
is made abundantly manifest to all
who read the pleas and plants that
have come from republican leader
ship in, congress following the presl-
ity in the last congress, these same
republicans were persistent-but
not always consistent-critics OF
President Wilson's failure to recon-
mend tasks and courses OF legisla-
ton. AS majority in the present
congress they begin their careers as
critics of his proposals for the very
ed.
These leaders of majority that
has taken control of congress ex-
pect the president to retain the mi
tiative and accountability for all
that is done by way OF passing new
or recalling old laws. They seek to
continue their role Of critics Of his
selves performers. They have wall
ed for six years that the president
has usurped and exercised autocratlc
authority in the legislative as well
as the executive brance OF the gov
eminent. They have called on the
people to end his sway by electing
them. Yet, at the moment when
cry the president for exacting Of
them the duties that go with their
dominance.
1t was charged that the president
had failed to offer any suggestions
for the disposition of the railroads,
the telephones and the telegraphs.
1t was lamented that he had no
plans for reducing taxation. 1t was
asserted that he was without ideas
dignant alike at his actions and his
omissions But now that he has
submitted to them a program when
municipalities remedies for all the
conditions that war has begotten,
this republican majority is loud
voice of protest and denunciation.
President Wilson has recommend
ed the. return of the railroads and
the other utilities that the govern
ment diverted to it's control under
the exigencies of war. He has given
them specifications as to the lower
ing and abolition OF taxes. He has
presented the need and the outline
for industrial reforms. He shows
the way to make constructive
changes in the tariffs. He has re-
amested assistanfe to ne our foreign
our domestic business. He has
recommended provisions in behalf
of soldiers and sailors-and has re-
ferred congress to plan already
evolved.
What is the republican answer?
1T is the most demagogic message
that has ever gone to congress"
says Senator New of Indiana. "He
has handed us a lemon" says a
from Pennsylvania.
1T is political maneuver," says a
third.
But the country knows to whom
to look for legislation. The repub-
lican majority must act. Whether
they accept or reject the president
program, they become answerable
for what they do. And it is the pros
pect of having to act instead of
merely carp that pains them so
They at last are re-
sponsible and they must also be re-
sponsive.
