How You Can Make
 Hairs Quickly Disappear
(Helps to Beauty)

Even a stubborn growth of hair will quickly vanish from the face, neck or arms after a single treatment with delatone. To remove hair from arms, neck or face make a stiff paste with a little powdered delatone and water, apply to hairy surface and after about two minutes rub off, wash the skin and it will be left free from hair or blem- ish. To avoid disappointment, be quite certain you get real delatone and mix fresh.

TO BE SECRETARY
 TO THE GOVERNOR
C. P. Newton to Resign Fed eral Position to Aid Mir.
 McRae.

Clarence P. Newton, fed eral prohibition inspector, will be appointed private secretary to Thomas c. McRae, Dem ocratic nominee for governor, it was announced yesterday. MT. Newton will resign his federal position in a few days to attend to private business and to assist MT. McRae in preparation for the next ad- ministration.
 MT. Newton served in the legislature from Lonoke county in 1909, 1911 and 1913 He was representative from Pulaski county and elected speaker during the session of 1919. On January 2, 1920, he accepted the position of federal prohibition inspector under Director David A. Gates and thus automatically wen; out of office as speaker of the House.
 MT. Newton was one of MT. McRae's ablest supporters during the recent campaign. He also supported T: H. Car l. way for the Senate and is a close friend of Sen. Joe T. Robinson. From 1913 to. 1919 he was superintendent of the Arkansas Confederate Home. MT. Newton's familiarity with legislative matters and friendship with members of the legislature are expected to be of service to the incoming governor.
 MT. Newton confined the re- port last night and said: 1 "On Friday, August 13, three days after the primary, MT. McRae and I had a con- ference, and he insisted that | accept the position of sec retary. We discussed various contingencies and consented i to go with him, at least through the period of the sit ting of the legislature.
 "He wants me to take the place permanently and I may do so. I am greatly interested in the success of his admin istration, and though 1 may not add much to it, I certainly appreciate the high compli- ment contained in his action in seeking me for this place. l am we'll situated as it is in my position with the federal gov ernment, have been promoted in salary already, since going to work the first of the year. Dave Gates is one of the big gest and best men in Arkansas and it is pleasure to work under him, but he says he does not blame me for making the change, under the circum- stances. I am thinking of re- signing right away, so as to at tend to some private business and help MT. McRae get ready for the legislature. ."-Arkan-
