SmeIter Mines Reported Closed

A dispatch from Monterey, Mexico,
states that all the principal mines in
the districts Of Durango and Coahuila,
from which the smelter Of the Ameri-
can Smelling and Refining Company
at Asarco draws its supply of ore,
have been closed. The smelter is still
being operated, but the dispatch says
it may shut down in the near future.
Some of the largest copper producing
companies are said to be formulating
plans for closing down operations on
q widespread scale II conditions do
not improve shortly. At the current
asking price of 12 cents pound it is
claimed that none of the producers is
making money, and some are losing
from to 8 cents pound. 1t was ex-
pected that with the ALLEGATION of
400,000,000 pounds, or two-thirds Of
the current surplus, for resale abroad
an increased demand would make its
appearance, but within the past few
as Va cents pound, or on parity
with the lowest quotation in 1914.

DON'T SQUEEZE BLACK
HEADS DISSOLVE THEM

Squeezing and pinching out bIackheads
make the pores large and cause irritation
then, too, after they have become hard
you cannot get all of them out Black
heads are caused by Accommodations of dust
and dirt and secretions from the skin and
there is only one safe and sure way and
one that never fails to get rid of them-a
simple way, too-this is to dissolve them.
Just get from any drug store about two
ounces OF calonite poWder-sprinkle a little
on hot, wet sponge-rub over the black
heads briskly for a few seconds-wash off
and you'll be surprised to see that every
blackhead has disappeared, and the skin
will be left soft and the pores in their
natural condition-anyone troubled with
these unsightly blemishes should try this
simple NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

DARKEN GRAY HAIR.
LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY
Grandma's recipe of Sage Tea
and Sulphur darkens so nat
urally that nobody can tell.

Hair that loses its color and Iustre,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
l1feless, is caused by a lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful,
and thousands of women and men wac
value that even color. that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is so at
tractive, use only this old-time recipe
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition of other
ingredients by asking at any drug
store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" which dark
ems the hair so naturally. so evenly,
that nobody can possibly tell it has
been applied. You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with in and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time. By morning
the gray hair disappears: but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound is that, be-
sides beautifully Gardening the hair
after a few applications, it also brings
back the gloss and lustre and gives it
an appearance of abundance.-Adv.

BAD BREATH
DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets Get
at the Cause and Remove It.

| DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets. the sub
stitute for calomeI, act gently on the
bowels and positively do the work.
People afflicted with bad breath
find quick relief through DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets. The pleasant, sugar
coated tablets are taken for bad breath
by all who know them.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets act gen
tly but firmly on the bowels and liver,
stimulating them to natural action,
clearing the blood and gently purifying
the entire system. They do that which
dangerous calomel does without any
of the bad after effects.
All the benefits of nasty, sickening,
gripping cathartics are derived from
DR. Edwards Olive Tablets without
gripping, pain or any disagreeable eff
fects.
DR.. F. NJ. Edwards discovered the
formula after seventeen years of prac-
tice among patients afflicted with
bowel and liver complaint, with the
attendant bad breath.
Olive Tablets are purely a vegetable
compound mixed with olive oil: you
will know them by their olive color.
Take one or two every night for a
week and note the effect. 15c and 3oc.

State Pays Sum $438. So to
Attorneys Who Make Trip
TO Capital In HolUdt Case
After Spending Three Days in Washington They Return
With Less knowledge About the Motion Than
When They Left Kansas.

! 1t took three high sa1aried state at
torneys, five days and required an ex-
pense account of $438.86 to go to
| Washington to see about having a
hearing date set for advancing the
| Howat appeal before the United States
supreme court. After spending three
days in the national capital, the law
| yerS neither secured an advancement
| of the case nor did they present a mo-
| ton to advance or return home with
| any definite information as to when
! they might return and be heard on the
motion to advance.
Usually a motion to advance is pre-
sented in about two to three minutes.
The general rule of lawyers who rep
resent private chents-even public in
terests at times-is to ask some at
torney in the city where the court is
sitting to present the motion. But the
Howat case called for three lawyers
instead of one. It required a trip half
way across the continent and back.
Now the state has neither secured an
advancement nor learned when a mo-
ton for advancement may be heard.
The state has, however, paid the
S438.86 expense account-plus the sal
aries of the state officials amounting
to about $225 or $3.50 for the time
they were absent.
To Look After States Interests.
Richard J. Hopkins, who seems to
have made the trip on his own motion
and to see that no one took advantage
of the states interests. turned in an
expense account of $163.03 for the
jaunt. Judge James A. McDermott of
the industrial court also made the
trip. His expenses were $13S.91. Bax-
ter D. Mccain, attorney for the labor
court, also went. His expenses were
$136.92.
Judge McDermott and McC1ain went
at the direction of Governor Allen.
When their expense vouchers were
presented TO n. A. Turner, state audi
tor, the letters from the governor were
attached. This course is in keeping
with a rule laid down by the auditor
to the effect that junkets by members
of boards and commissions under di-
rection of the governor, must show
that their travels were approved by
the state executive.
To See What Might Be Done.
The governors letter to Mccain
asks him to go to Washington ito see
what may be done for the advancement |
of the Howat case upon the docket of !
the supreme court and for a confer |
ence with Moorfie1d Storey concern |
ing features of the case" Storey, a |
Boston lawyer, had volunteered his |
services in the case. He might have |
rendered service by presenting the |
somewhat mythical motion to advance. |
Instead the three lawyers went to |
Washington to talk to him-at expense
probably equal to employment of
private counsel.
In a letter to Judge McDermott the
governor asks that he also look after |
the HOWat motion, also confer with |
Storey, the immigration bureau and |
the department of labor. The public
hasn't been advised as to these confer
ences. Neither would Judge McDer-
mott or Mccain discuss the Howat
mEion today.

Dermott's private office today.
Neither answered.
Did you present it?" was asked of
Judge McDermott.
You won't get any information
from me-" was the reply.

Mccain.
That's what I was sent there for"
Then you appeared before the
court?"

II didn't say 1 talked"

No answer.
Was the case advanced ?"
Again no answer.
From authoritative sources it 49,
stated that the case was not advanced.
Neither was it on the docket or in a
position for argument as to advance
ment. Neither did either of the three
lawyers appear before the court dur
ing any of it's sessions while they were
in Washington October 1924. Under
the rules of the court it appears that
the case could not have been pre-
scented. The lawyers came home with
out knowing when they would be given
a hearing or when the appeal proper
might be considered.
May Come Up Next Year.
It may be that in January or Feb
ruary the court docket will be in such
condition that a motion to advance the
Howat appeal may be filed. At that
time the lawyers may again return to
Washington. Or they may follow the
established custom and ask someone in
Washington to present their motion
for them.
Both Judges McDermott and Nc
Claim resented being asked regarding
the case. McDermott made clear that
he didn't appreciate reporters visiting
his office and asking questions which
he didn't want to answer and didn't
extend an invitation to return. Nc
Claim appeared so thoroly convinced
that the whole matter was none of the
public's business that he left the room
during the interview. It was con-
cluded, tho, when reporters followed
him to the corridor.
