A woman's fondest hope is to stay
young. She often resorts to paints,
powders and cosmetics to hide her
years. Some women pay large sums to
so-called "Beauty Doctors" in the be-
lief that money will buy youth. Others
wear girlish dresses, thinking they can
fool the world about their age. But
no one is deceived. The more you try
to hide your age, the more it shows.
There is but one thing that holds old
age back, and that is health. Sickness
and weakness bring old age early in
life. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
tion is q building-up medicine for
women. 1t makes them healthy and
strong when they suffer from women's
troubles. 1t keeps them looking young
by keeping them well. 1t is woman 8
tonic for the frail, the delicate and
those who are nervous, dizzy and who
have backaehe and dragging pains.

Washington. February 26.-Leases of great value o2 proven oil lands are not to be had by the mere filing of an application, Secretary Lane said today in a statement explaining the oil land leasing bill signed yesterday by the President.

 It was the intention of Congress that the engineers should control the systems and the Secretary will be presented with letters so stating from Senator Cummins and Representative Esch. chairmen. re- spectively. of the Senate and House com nlittees on commerce.
 Representative Oliver discussing this situation today, said that one of the req sons Congress preferred control of water ways by the corps of engineers was it's desire Il at the projects be relieved of an entirely military aspect and atmos- pkere Another reason cited by him was the familiarity and sympathy of the en- gineers for river transportation projects.

BIRMINGHAM WILL MAKE

Washington, February S.-(Special.)-To relieve Walker Hines, director general ol railroads, of embarrassment which would follow his authorization of new construc- ton just prior to his surrender of inland waterways systems March 1, Senator Un- derwood and RepresenrAsTve Oliver plead ing this morning for steel containers for use on the Warrior barges, subpitted novel and practical proposition.
 The director general was informed that Henry DeBardeleben, in charge of the' Warrior division, could enter into contract with Birmingham manufacturers for the production of fifty steel containers with the understanding that the contracts could be annulled by the Secretary of WAT thirty days after March l.
 That is a very practical proposition, replied MT Hines, and 1 will give you my answer tomorrow.
 Prior to this statement, MT. Hines, demurring from the general proposition. stated that he hestated to authorize the construction of new containers becasse the twenty now possessed had not proved producers of business, Mir. Oliver, ili an swer, declared that the fact was that MT. DeBardeleben, awart that twenty con tainers could not offer the capacity de- n anded, had ordered an emoargo rather tran discriminate between wouid-be pa trcns,
 The proposed steel containers will cost s50o each and will be manufactured Tn Birmingham The Alabama members feel hopeful that their proposition will be ae- Cepted.

 Washington, February 26.-(special)- So thoroughly assured of the attitude of Congress are Alabama members that they have practically agreed to depend on emergency appropriations to meet the financial necessities of the Warrior river barge line.
 Through an ambiguity fin the railroad bill there is doubt if the inland water sys- tems of the country were cared for by an appropriation available after March l. After canvassing Congress and consulans with President Wilson. Secretary Baker. Walter D. Hines, director general of rail- roads, and others, conclusion Is reached that the necessities can be met by emer- gency acts until such time as perma- nent remedy may be effected.
