The committee, consisting of
Manninga and Sharpe, met the
county engineer yesterday after
noon and gained several concessions
on the points in question.
Both Supervisor DeLashmutt and
Engineer Howell agreed to strike
out section IL of the bill, which
gave the supervisors power to grant
q franchise to any private firm or
corporation to build and operate
water or sewerage systems in the
county. This feature was consid.
cred one Of the worst points in the
bill inasmuch as 1t allowed some
outside interest to come into the
county and take toll from the tax
payers for a great number OF years.
Another clause stricken from the
bill was that contained in section
20, which gave the supervisors ar
bitrary power to refuse to build any
systems for a given district IL such
district was considered too he

What spoils compilations

Every day your skin accumulates
a coating of dust, dirt and general
soil. Every day you apply powder,
and every day most women use a
little or much cold cream.
This dirt, powder and cold cream
penetrates the tiny skin pores and
fills them. Precipitation completes
the clogging. You can judge for
yourself what happens if you fail to
wash these accumulations away.
Once a day your skin needs care
full, thorough cleansing to remove
these clogging deposits. Otherwise
you will soon be afflicted with coarse
ness, blackheads and blotches.

GEN. WOOD PAROLES
 FILIPINO PRISONERS

MANILA, Sept. Ex-Governor Gen, eral Leonard Wood pardoned 200 aged prisoners from Bilibid recently, and many of them, after wandering about town all day, showed up at the police station for something to eat and a place to sleep. There, next morning, they identified belongings taken from them at the time of their arrest, more years ago than Rip Van Wrinkle slept Then they found their way back to old homes in the pro- vinces, where they will seek asylum with relatives for the short time they have to live.
 Governor Wood, in pardoning them, said they were too old to do anyone any harm, and it was cruel to keep them in prison longer. He is clearing out Rilibid, benefiting the men by doing Sc and saving the government much expense. Younger men serving long sentences are sent to prison col onies and farms. Chinese recidivists, chiefly offenders against the opium law, are being deported as undesirable enemy aliens. Other prisoners, hav- ing from a fifth to a fourth of their sentences, are being paroled on pledges to be law-abiding in future.
