cific orders from President Gales. The
cuts will begin with members of the
cabinet and will include all employees
the heaviest cuts being made in the
higher salaries.
'It is explained in making these re-
ductons in salaries that the measure
is necessary in order to enable the
government to meet it's budget for the
coming year. The saving is expected
to amount to some 100000 pesos
yearly. 1t had at first been planned
to effect the nee ssary economy
through a reduction in the number of
employees, but this met with such OPP
position that it was decided to make
the salary cut instead.

Bewitching
Beauty
That atpeach-bloom texture!
-1Ohy isn't it yours?

NO STRIKING beauty ever neglects
her skin-the very foundation of her
"dash'-her bewitchingness. Nor does
she rely upon makeup to hide red,
roughened texture, muddiness, tan or
other blemishes. These hindering dis
figuring annoyances caused by exposure
to time and weather, the enlarged pores
resulting from imperfectly cleansed skin,
are never completely covered up by
makeup no matter how skillfully ap-
piled. But they can be removed per-
manently; and any woman can enjoy
skin of lovely texture and bewitchlng
charm, which is her natural right. The
secret? Use El Estado Lemon Cleans
0mg Creme, made from purest Lemon
OIL, mildly bleaching, wonderfully
cleansing, to restore the bloom of youth,
tone up the tired muscles of the face,
and eradicate the unsightly blemishes.
, Massage it gently into the pores with
careful upward strokes. Then wipe it
off with soft cloth. After one trial
you will be convinced that this pure
creme, unspoiled by acids of any sort,
is the one face tonic you have always
hoped to find. If you make practice
of leaving it on all night, it will gradu-
ally clear up those dishguring stains
under the eyes, together with the tan
and roughness. Most toilet counters
feature this amazing creme IN dollar
jars, but if you wish to try it before
you buy it, we will gladly mail you
free sample. El Estado Products

DIES FRIDAY
At IOWA HOME
ny Dispatch 4. 2. wirel

DES MONIES, July 30
Senator Albert B. Cummins,
veteran political leader of
Iowa, died at his home here
at 4::3O o'clock this after
noon.
Senator Cummins seemed
in the best Of health and as
late as Wednesday made
his regular visits to his Of
flee. On Wednesday he
had dinner with Frank
Huffman, Des Moines bank
er and an intimate friend.
Cummins was in h G h
spirits and was looking for
ward with zest to work on
his autobiography to which
he contemplated devoting
his attention during the
coming winter.
Senator Cummins' farewell address
the constituency which he represented
for SO years, was delivered over the
radio at the close of his campaign
for recollection last June His last
public address was in the senate
few days earlier during the debate
on the farm relief question.
His death may necessitate the
election of two United states sena-
tors in the November election in this
state, one to fill his unexpired term
which ends March 4, next. The re-
publican and democratic committees
probably will be reconvened within
a few days to nominate candidates
for the short term.
Senator Cummins was suddenly
stricken with an attack of heart dis
ease and died a few moments later
He had not complained of any symp-
toms of the attack. His health,
however, had been the cause of con-
Germ for several months.
Surviving him are a daughter, five
sister, two brothers, two grand sons
and great grand son.
Since the death of Mrs. Cummins
the senator had made his home here.
with two sisters, Miss Margaret and
Miss Anne Cummins.
The unexpired term may be filled
by gubernatorial appointment and
some political authorities considered
it probably that Governor Hammill
will appoint a, successor, owing to
the short remaining time before the
term expires March 4 next Gov
ernor Hammill is now in the west
where he attended the conference of
governors.
Death cut short the long legislative
career of Senator Cummins by more
than nine months.
His term would have expired next
March as a result of his defe;It
in the recent Iowa republican pri-
maries.
With the state seething with dis
content over the failure of congress
to enact farm relief legislation alons
lines favored by corn belt agricultur-
lists, he was opposed in the primar
les by Smith w. Brookhart, pro-
gressive who entered the race after
he had lost his seat in senate to
Daniel F. Steck, democrat, after @
bitter contest and close vote.
Senator Cummins, although re.
garded in late years as one of the
conservative leaders in congress and
a supporter of Coolidge policies,
came out for the Haugen- McNary
price sterilization bill, which was
opposed by the administration, but
this failed to win him enough sup
port from the farmers to overcome
