To Keep Skin in Fine
Condition All Summer

1t would be much better for the skin If
little cream, powder or rouge were used
during the heated term. Mixed with
perspIration, dust end CRIME, these things
are anything but identifying. Ordi-
nary mercolized wax will do more for the
complexion, and without giving an oily,
streaked. spotted or pasty appearance. 1t
Is the ideal application for the season. as
1t not only keeps the pores clean, but daily
removes particles of scarf skin which
have been sOiled by dirt or weather. By
constantly keeping the complexion clear,
white, satiny, it does more toward per-
petuating a youthful countenance than
any of the arts or articles commonly en-
plOyed One ounce of mercolized wax,
obtainable at any drugstore, will com
pletely renovate the worst complexion. 1t
Is applied at night like cold cream and
washed off in the morning.
To keep the skin from sagging or
wrinkling, or to overcome such con-
dition. there's nothing better than a face
bath made by dissolving an ounce of pow
dered saxolite in a half pint witch hazel

 At about this time I was begin ming to yearn for dear old Alaska again, so left Butte for Spokane, and, upon arrival there. I found business at a condition bordering on paralysis.

CRIME WAVE IS GENERAL
 IS REPORT OF OLDTIMER

Conditions in the States, as re- gards holdups, unemployment and high prices, are pretty much the same all over the country, according to J. H. Steel, who returned to Ne mana this week from stay of several months in the States, most of which time was spent in Penn sylvania. Forty robberies were re- corded in Chicago within a period of 24 hours, MT. Steel says. And conditions were not much better in Philadelphia or any of the other big Eastern cities. As regards un- employment, MT. Steel reports that "a recent canvass showed total of approximately one million idle in the three cities of New York. Chi cago and Philadelphia. And when he reached Seattle on his way back to Alaska, he was told that there were about 16,OOO out of work in that city.
 The impression prevails in many quarters that the unemployment situation has been brought about largely by employers in an effort to disrupt the American Federation of Labor and pave the way for the open shop.
 There has been considerable re- duction in prices in the States, in some lines, the oldtimer says But rents in the East are still way up, and the housing problem has be- come a very serious one. In Phila- delphia, he says, there are about $50 evictions a week, for various causes, the transfer of real estate being the chief source of annoyance to occupants of rented property Thirty-five dollars month is re- garded very reasonable rent for d dwelling or apartment in Philadei- phia, and all the landlords in the city have large waiting list from which to select tenants.
 When MT. Steel reached Seattle the chief topic of conversation was the shooting of Police Detective .O'Brion and two others by Bandit Schmidt, who is now under sentence of death. Crowds were constantly gathered about the spot where the fatal shooting occurred, examining the large plate glass windows which were shattered by the bullets.
 Mir. Steel came North on the steamer Northwestern and reports that not many were aboard the boat besides himself. He was told, how ever, that the Alameda has a full load of passengers and the belief is general on the coast that most of the boats during the demainder of the season will have all the pass eneer business they can handle.
