Now is the time to take special care of the complexion if you wish to look well the rest of the year. The March winds have a strong tendency to bring out freckles that may stay all Summer unless removed. Now is the time to use Othine-double strength.
 This preparation for the removal of freck!es is usually so successful that it is sold by druggists under guarantee to refund the money if it fails. Get an ounce of Othine-double strength, and even a few applications should show a wonderful improve ment, some of the smaller freckles even vanishing entirely.

A dispatch from Tampa, Fla,

Chinese are being smuggled into

by way Of Cuba and Florida.
Unless prompt action is taken by
authorities at Washington, condi-

past few months almost 5000 Chi

Whalen. "According to the state
ments we got from some Of the snug
Cling parties that we have rounded
up, these Chinese remain in Cuba
only long enough to make arrange
ments with the smugglers to be land
ed on the Florida coast
The fact that all the Chinese who
have been arrested in this vicinity
are plentifully supplied with money
and are able to obtain unlimited
funds to defray court expenses indi-
Gates that there is a well-organized
smuggling combine at work."
The latest arrests in the snug,
Cling war were in Charleston, S. c..
where four Chinese were picked up
with railroad tickets from Clearwa-
ter, Fla, a short distance from Tam
pa, to Washington, ID. G. Six more
were arrested the same day at Dune
den, Fla, also near Tampa. These
six were taken when they tried to
buy railroad tickets to Washington
They were escorted by Chinese
who had taken out naturalization
papers. This man was later released
on bail.

hibtion officers, while in search for
contraband liquors coming into Tam

Enormous Picture Types, Worn by
Pretty Women, Arc Conspicuous
at the Races.

At the Fashionable race meetings
and in all the smurtest restaurants,
asserts a Paris fashion writer, one
recognizes that u war of hats Is In full
swing. Quite early in the spring sea-
son Lewis-who has great influence In
the feminine world-announced the
speedy arrival Of very large picture
hats, with wide, fiat brims and rather
low crowns.
And side by side with these models
he showed-at Monte Carlo and Biar-
ritz-cavalier hats Of remarkable out
line, the sort of hat that Cecile Sorel
has always worn.
Now it happens that the more &C.
lectlc Parisiennes have become devoted
to cloche shapes-large and small. In
fact, SO devoted are they to these
charming styles that nothing can in
duce them to look, seriously, at other
models. The favOrite hat Of the hour
remains the cloche-largc or small.
At the races one sees enormous pic
ture hats worn by very pretty women,
but these are almost always munne-
quinS, who bavc been paid to show Off
some particular style. 1t IS rare
thing to see a real Partisan clrgnnte
wearing a remarkably widc.brimmcd
hat. We shall watch this little MILL

General for the collections of the
license fee. Attorney General Wolfe
is directing letter to all delinquents

pc .alties imposed by the law when
they fail to make returns and pay
the license fees.
Legal action will likely follow this
letter if no response is made by the
corporations.
The list as furnished the Attorney
General contains the names of 264
corporations that have made no re-
turns whatever, rs that have made
returns, but failed to remit the cash
for the license fee, and seven that
sent worthless checks to cover the

The penalty for a violation Of the
law by corporation is $500 and
500 day for each day over the
time limit prescribed by the law, on
or before the first day Of April.
