To Keep the Face
Fresh, Clear, Youthful

More important than the cosmetic care
of the complexion is its physical care. To
keep the face clean, fresh, youthful, there's
nothing better than common mercolized
wax. 1t absorbs the soIled or faded worn
out skin particles. Cosmetics simply add
unwholesoneness to the complexion. That's
the difference. By all means, acquire the
mercolized wax habit. It's so easy to get
an ounce of the wax at the druggists,
apply at night like cold cream and wash it
no one suspects you are using anything.
When in a week or two the alluringly
youthful, rose-like underskin is fully in view
well, you won't want, or need, a make up
complexion after that. 1t must be APP
parent that this process means complete
radiance of all cutaneous blemIshes. like
freckles. pimples, blotches and black
heads.-Adv

PREPARED SAYS BENSON
Rear Admiral Tells Senate Body Navy
Was Ready for War.

Washington, May All possible
preparations for war short of mobiliz-
ing the fleet were made by the navy
department before the outbreak of
hostilities with Germany, Rear Ad-
miral w. S. Benson, chairman of the
United States shipping board, today
committee. 4
Benson as chief of staff told Rear
Admiral Sims the United States
would as soon fight the British as the
Germans" according to Sims's testi-
mony before the committee recently.
Benson declared today that detailed
naval plans could not be worked out
in advance of Americas entry into the
war, as whatever was done would
have to fit in with the allied plans.
He said that sinking of the Lusi-
tania in itself was not sufficient cause
to justify America in preparing for
war.

The Rev. Mr.. Murphy comes to To-
peka from Atchison, where a meeting
was arranged for Tuesday night. His
first address in Kansas was at Kansas
City on Sunday. at which meeting res
olutions were adopted calling on con-
gress to pass the Mason bill which. in
effect, is a recognition of the Irish
Republic.
The Rev. Mr.. Murphy is member
of the executive committee of the
Protestant Friends of Irish Freedom,
an organization composed of clergy
men and laymen of many Protestant
denominations. which has headquar-
tiers at the Bible House in New York.
He and other ministers identified
with the organization have been
speaking in many states and urging
recognition of the Irish republic by
this government. The Rev. Mr.. Muir
ply has just completed tour of Iowa
and came into Kansas on Sunday to
speak in the principal cities.
All of the meetings are open to the
public and no attempt is being made
at this time to sell the bonds of the
Irish republic or to raise finances in
any manner. The campaign is one of
education and is being financed by the
American commission on Irish indie
pendence.

well known physicians, is to take reg

distinguished merit of increasing the

What's In a Name
(Copyright)

Sibyl the English favorite, which
has become so popular in this country,
was brought intact from Roman myth
ology. The Sibyls were prophetesses,
half human. half divine. but not i'm
mortal. whom etymologists say. gained
their name through Greek word
meaning Genus Council" At any
rate. they were very wise and very
old.
History recalls that it was the
Duncan Sibyl who guided Aeneas
through the Internal regions and 1t
was she who brought the roll of proph-
ecies to Tarquinius Wriscus, what Vir-
gil afterward embodied in his ecologue
and through which he won his semi
Christian fame. There are SYPHILIS in
the Sistine chapel, the work of Mich
ael Angelo.
AS Sibilla the name came into Chris
tian use. The lonely wife of Thor.
whose hair was cut off by Lok, and
its place supplied by golden tresses to
represent the harvest, was called ST.
billa, or Sib. Sibilia of Conversana,
was the name of the wife of Robert
of Normandy, and Sebille was the
form in which she gave it to Franco.

dentists tell us that we must get rid Of acid
mouth to keep the teeth from decaying. When
acid forms in the mouth it eats right through
the hard enamel of the teeth. Imagine, then,
the i'll effects of Acid Stomach to the entire
system!
A modern way has been found of getting rid
of Acid-Stomach SO quickly, naturally, easily,
that it seems almost unbelievable.
This remedy Is called EATONIC, a COM
pressed tablet that you eat like bit of candy.
EATONIC leaves the stomach sweet, cool and
strong, aids digestion and assimilation and SO
helps you get full strength out of every mouth
full of food you eat. In cases of indigestion,
heartburn, bloat, belching, gassy, sour stom-
ach, food-repeating and that miserable pulled
up feeling after eating, EATONIC affords al
most instant relief.
twenty-five thousand druggists sell and
guarantee EATONIC. If it fails to please you
your money will be cheerfully refunded.

elements numbering more than $4,000

Stores belonging to the late Omsk

Acid Stomach Makes
Millions Old Before
Their Time

The famous scientist, Prof. Metchnikoff, de.
clared that people generally become decrepit-
feeble, aged-years and years before their time
that person ought to live we'll over hun
dred years. He proved that the toxic poisons
which form in the intestines and cause auto
into1ication had more to do with shortening life
than anything else. Clean out these poisons
and there is no reason why human beings
should not live, hale, hearty, strong and vigor-
Gus, hundred years or more. Such is the doc
trine as taught by the noted Metchnikof.
What causes those toxic poisons- where do
they come from-how do they get into the III
testinal tract? Science gives us an answer in
one word-Acid-Stomach.
Acid Stomach causes food fermentation;
and it is this naass Of partially digested, sour,
fermenting food passing through the intestines
that creates toxic poisons that are absorbed
into the blood and carried into every part of
the system, causing long train of diseases and
making millions of men and women feeble
haggard and old looking before their time when
by right they should be strong, healthy, in the
prime of life.
Common sense tells US that In order to stop
those toxic poisons forming in the intestines,
you must get rid of the Acid-Stomach; just as

The First Farm Bureau.

The first farm bureau in America
was established in Broome county,
New York. The commercial club at
the county seat was a live body and
had various bureaus" for its different
interests and activities. After a time
somebody discovered that the farm
element was important in the work
and welfare of the county, and had
been entirely overlooked.
The result was the calling in of a
number of agriculturists for consulta-
ton and the adding of farm bureau.
The man placed in charge was called
agent" hence county agents today.
The farm bureau soon spread to other
counties. then to other states. Farm
bureaus are making big strides in the
south. Georgia recently held a state
meeting and Tennessee farmers have
lined up several counties.
PAYS President $4,000.
The American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton which had representatives from
% states at the Chicago meeting, fixed
the salary of J. r. Howard. the presi-
dent. at $4,000. At the close of the
session on March 4, an executive com
mittee. headed by the president, left
ration of various governmental de
partments. and it is expected that
trained exeprts will be employed to
help carry on the work.
