Sun and Wind Bring Out Ugly Spots.
How To Remove Easily.


Here's a chance, Miss Freckle-face,
to try a remedy for freckles with the
guarantee of reliable concern that 1t
will not cost you penny unless 1t
removes the freckles; while if it does
give you a clear complexion the ex-
pense is trifling.
Simply get an ounce of Othine-dou-
BILE strength-from any druggist and
few applications should show you how
easy it is to rid yourself of the homely
freckles and get beautiful complex
ion. Rarely is more than one ounce
needed for the worst case.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength Othine as this strength
is sold under guarantee of money
back, if it fails to remove freckles.

The bill now goes TO President Wilson.
The senate rejected all amendments
to the measure, which had been under
discussion for eleven hours.
Certain senator's carried on an lndi'
vidual tifibuster against the bill III
spite of the defeat of a motion to con-
duct one offered by Senator France OF
Maryland.
The point of no quorum was MADE
after Senator Penrose, of Pennsylva-
mia, had interrupted the debate with
a motion to adjourn. Senator Lafol'
lette, of Wisconsin, had been speaking
for three hours and a half at the time
In the course of Senator Lafoletttes
speech the attendance had decreased
to less than ten senators, the others
having retired to rest in the CLOAK
rooms, not more than a hundred per
sons remaining of the crowd which
had filled the galleries since the sen
ate met.
A conference held by Republican
senators was said by some of those
attending to have been somewhat
stormy one, and Senator Sherman, OF
Illinois, left in the middle OF 1t serv-
ing notice that because of the evident
disposition not 'to call the presidents
bluff" he was disposed not to return
to Washington after this session OF
congress ends. Should he not return,
the Republicans would have only a
majority of one in the senate.
Feeling among the Republicans over
the legislative situation and reports
that the president had said that re-
sponsibility for the failure, to pass
necessary legislation would be placed
on them continued to run high. While
the bill was under debate, numerous
discussions were held in cloakrooms
between senators said to favor OBJ.
StructiOn.
Those urging a filibuster, leaders
stated, believed that a patriotic duty
would be done by forcing an extra
session in view of certain failure OF
much important legislation and con
sidering industrial and other condi'
tons, over the country. Opponents OF
the fiilibuster declared that Obstruc
ton would be miscOnstrued as part
san, and also, that failure of the loan
bill might cause serious unrest in
financial circles.
Enactment of the loan and railroad
bills, 1T was believed, would leave
President Wilson free to postpone the
