How to Peel OFF a

It's really a simple matter to renovate
a face soiled by dirt. wind or cold. Or
binary mercOliZed wax, used like cold
cream. will transform the worst old com
plexion into one Of snowy whiteness and
velyety softness. IL literally peels off the
outer veil Of surface skin. but gently,
gradually, there's no discomfort. The
wornout skin comes off. not in patches,
but evenly In tiny particles. leaving no
evidence of the treatment itself. The
younger. healthier under-skln forming the
new complexion is one Of captivating
iOYeilness. One ounce of mercolized wax,
to be had at any drug store, is enough to

NO rrlluwsRIp WITH GERMANY,

France refuses TO belong TO ieasus
OF nations that offers membership 10
Germany.
France at least is no hypocrite she
refuses any manner of brothernoou
with a country whose hands are stiil
stickily red with the blood OF French
men and children and while the
screams of dishonored Frenchwomen
stu echo among the ruins OF northern
France.
There is righteous resentment
+hat trade advantage can not over
come wounds that indemnities can
not heal, losses that fluency OF dipio-
mats can not cover. France has suf-
fered, is suffering and shall long suffer
from the brutality of an arch criminal
among nations. How then couid
France league in friendship with Ger
many? How can the United States
accept the proffered hand that direct
ed the slaughter Of innocent women
and children upon the hlsh seas With
are the common right of all non-com-
botants, that shelled helpless men in
open boats? How shall Canada forget
her crucified?
Not only must Germany pay out
Germany must repent and bring forth
the fruits of a sincere repentance for
her crimes. Payment is restoration. II
is not punishment. Germany must be
punished. Her crime was premedi:ated.
She stands outside the pale of huma-
nifty. To offer her membership in
league of those who halted the arson
Of the world she contemplated and well
nigh accomplished or to accept a plea
for such membership however sawnins
and servile it might be made would be
to prostitute the service and sacrifice
OF ten million dead.

IT STOPS AT TINE FOOT or THE THRONE.

The treaty leak" has been located
without trouble. 1t appears that Henry
p. Dawson, Of the Morgan banking
house, had a copy which ne showed to
Senator Elihu Root, VINO received
CODY from him and showed his copy TO
Senator Lodge. Dawson says Root
was the only person to whom he SHOW
ed the treaty which came into his pos
session as president OF tho American
Red Cross.
Mr.. Root testifying before the SEN
ate committee saw no improperly In
Mr.. Davison's possession OF copy OF
the treaty, he considered that the
president was within his "constitu-
tional rights" when he withheld the
treaty from the senate.
Leaving the question of constitu-
tional rights Of the president to with
hold the treaty from the senate until
he saw fit to make a formal presenta-
ton Of 1t for ratification or rejection
the American public will find 1t hard
to understand why the chairman or
foreign relations in the senate should
get his first glimpse Of the treaty from
g. Morgan banker even tho that banker
was head of the American Red Cross.
and that the treaty which had been
published abroad in Germany should
come to the American people only thru
the force of senatorial privilege after
g copy had been procured by senator
and in a more or less irregular man
ner. There was no Improperly in Mr..

formed. no constitutional impropri-
ETY.. but why should not others. the
senate, the representatives OF the peo-
ple of the United States and the people
themselves be denied sight OF treaty
which was being peddlod about In Sc
crecy and that had been published 10
Germans. II may be that Mr.. Davisons
banking firm was not Informed as 10
the provisions of the treaty but the
general tendency win be to believe that
IL knew as much about II az DAWSON
himself. other banking firms deny
that they had copies, Mr. Vanderip
testifies that he had none. Perhaps
they knew. They do not say they ala
not. Mr.. Root declared before the
committee that II was public docu-
ment which might be shown with
complete propriety, True enough, but
why then was 1t withheld from the sem
ate and the American public in such
secrecy and under such censorship!
Why did Mr.. Dawson slip" peep at
1t to Mr.. Root and why did Mr.. Root
slip 1t to Lodge" and why was 1t nee
essary to drag 1t into public view 10y
the hair of the head in senatorial
rough house?
Mr.. Root stated that he would re-
sent any suggestion from anybody that
| am not entitled to it and to use 1t as
see fit, which l propose to do" If
MIR. Root Is inclined to resent the suS-
gestion that he has a right to a copy
of the treaty for his guidance and CON-
sideration as a representative OF the
people what Of the imputation that tire
people themselves have no right TO a
full knowledge OF it's provisions in their
conside ration Of the most important
treaty in its future effect upon this
country that has been ever proposed?
There was then no leak but the de-
feat of an attempt to hide from the
senate and the people thoy represent
document to which they have a full
right in its completeness. The in
need go no farther. 1t has
reached the sacrosanct foot Of the
