How a muddy, sallow, aging skin can be made wonderfully youthful and beautiful through remarkable dlecovery of osmosis of the skin. When you see a woman past thirty with no horrid crowsfeet or pouches around her eyes, no enlarged nose pores, no deep lines or furrows about the mouth, and possessed of a clear, velvety complexion, you can be practically certain that she knows beauty secrets not possessed by the average woman. She may have as much cause for looking old and careworn as anybody, yet she is able to go on year after year, With never a sign of wrinkles or comprexlon blemishes, all the while preserving a fresh, youthful appearance. And there is really no reason why any woman between thirty and sixty should not look from five to fifteen years younger than she really IsTWTSlmpIy knowing the secret of .just what to do. It ought to be a matter Of pride with you to keep your complexion clear and your face youthful as much as It Is to keep vour hands and jails clean. But you cannot hope to be beautiful _and attractive unless you give your skin full opportunity to act freely and renew its youth. No matter what your age; fto matter how coarse, harsh and unsightly vour complexion, nor what you have tried unsuccessfully, the moment you produce osmosis of the skin, you will look younger and far more beautiful. Many a wrinkled, _ ». ifaded looking wo- fgy man has regained I- -ir., her charms and / awakened to nnd I :<& herself pretty as a /< picture with every sign of wrinkles i and complexion * J blemishes gone V through this wonderful, simple method. Watch what W «» it does for you! Merely wash your r er'&t night' in a teaspoonfulor two of any good rOseated cream which you can obtain from, the druggist.

INDIANA GOVERNOR FIRST TO ACT

Three Hundred Men Gather at State Capital at Request of the State Executive. Great credit is due Indiana’s governor and the three hundred men who from all over Indiana gathered in the representative had in the state house Monday afternoon at Indianapolis to start the work of getting Indiana’s portion of the great armv to be raised. - The governor had wired to each county sheriff and clerk in the state, together with *one representative from each county to be present, and' that they would be the county conscription officer's from the several counties of the state. To this number were to be addled three officers from eadh of ■the five large cities of the .state, namely, Indianapolis, Evansville, Ft. Wayne, Terre Haute and South Bend. The law as passed by congress provided that in cities having a population of more than thirty thousand there should be a separate conscription board independent of the county board. The meeting at the capital was presided over by Governor Goodrich and the roll of tire appointees was called by Adjutant General Harry Smith. With the exception of ten men all of the appointees were present and accepted the appointments. Of the ten absent appointees, five had wired the .governor that they would serve.—— ■ —

The committee from this county are O. K. Rainier, representative; Jesse Nichols, Clerk, and B. D. MeOolly, Sheriff. —-r The committees were instructed to return -to their homes and appoint one person from each precinct to take the register of all persons living in their precincts of the ages prescribed by the law. These reports were to be in by Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning. The law provided . that these precinct men may be -aid at the rate of ‘54.00 per day. but the men present unanimously and enthusiastically voted in favor of doing the work without pay. The Jasper county conscription board met this Tuesday afternoon and appointed the following precinctmen: Barkley township, west precinct, Trustee Grant Davisson. East precinct, William Folger. Carpenter township, south precinct, Trustee Burdette Porter; east precinct, George Hascall; west precinct, George Putt. Gillam township, James Stevens. Hanging -Grove Township, Warren PooHe. Jordan township, John Kolhoff. Kankakee -township, R. E. Davis. ■Keener township, Clifford Fairchild. Mari-on township, precinct No, 1, J. N. Leatiherman; No. 2, Thomas Callahan; No. 3, Charles J. Dean; No. 4, Harvey W. Wood, Jr. Milroy township, George Faulk. Newton township, John Rush. Union township, south precinct, G. H. Ha-tnmerton; north precinct, Felix Irwin. —. Walker township, Joseph Sal-rm. Wheatfield -township, A. >S. Keene. A day will -be appointed either by the state or national authorities and all persons of the age prescribed by the law as it finally passes congress wil Ibe required to register with the precinct committeemen. The passing of the law is deemed -as full notice to all and those who fail to register as

/ jOK Grice 'WmtiWMw* the. change that has taken place. See how the old, hardened, coarse, rough skin turns into new fresh, soft, youthful looking skin almost before your very eyes, all due to simple osmosis of the skin, produced solely by warm water and roseated cream. But be sure to use only pure roseated cream, as it is an entirely different thing from ordinary face creams, and must not be confounded with them. Most women prefer Creme Tokalon Roseated. If you have wrinkles get a box of Japanese Ice Pencils and use them in connection with the cream and you can get quick action on the deepest wrinkles, no matter of how long standing. For giving an indescribably beautiful effect to the' neck and arms as well as suppressing almost immediately the appearance of all smaller wrinkles and marks of age, many women use a little Santonex in connection with this method of producing skin Osmosis.

KEY TO SUCCESS HELD BY FARMER

Gifford Pinchot Shows That War Cannot Be Won Unless Tillers of Soil Provide Food. Gifford Pinchot, high priest of conservation in the United States, submitted the fallowing letter of publicaltion to practically every newspaper in the country. After it has been read it will have to be admitted that Mr. Pinchot sums up the situation succinctly as fallows: ~~~ “In this great time, when every citizen must do his part, the President has made his chief appeal to the men who live on this land. He might in so doing, for the safety of the country is now in the hands of our farmers. What I mean is not entirely our safety and the safety of the Allies in the matter of food. I mean that the safety of the United States against foreign invasion hangs the decision of the farmers of the fortyeight states.

“The two great weapons in this war are arms and starvation. _ The war against German arms will be won or lost in Franch and the war of starvation will be won or lost in America. The Kaiser cannot whip the French and English navies while England has food. But it is still possible that the German submarines msay be able to keep food enough from reaching England to starve her into submission. “If the submarines win, the first item in the Kaiser’s peace terms will be the English fleet. With the English fleet in his possession the Kaiser will be master of the world. “What will happen to us then? Every mw who stops to think knows the answer. We shall have ' money, food, labor, land —everything that is desirable in the world exfeept the power to protect what we have. Experts estimate that it will take us nine months to get ready to meet a German army of even 150,000 men, with 'modern artillery. Under such circumstances, would the Germans treat us better 'than they have already treated Belgium and France ? “Even if the armies of our Allies should crush the Gen-man military power this summer, before the shortage of food can reach the point of want, the world would still need vast quantities- of American food. But if they do not, only one course can make us safe, and that is to grow enough food on our farms for ourselves and our Allies, and to put -ships enough on the sea to carry the food, in spite of submarines, to the men who are fighting our fight. “If the war lasts beyond this summer it will be the American farmer who will win or lose the war, who will - overcome- militarism and autocracy, or allow the to spread and control the worldi, ourselves included. “This is no fanciful picture, but sober fact. Many a man will make light of it, until he comes to think it over, but I venture to say that few will treat it light after careful thought. It is no more possible than the great war itself appeared to be, only a few days before it began. “It is tru ethat we can greatly increase the available supply of -grain now used in liquors, and by reducing household waste. But when these two things are done, and done thoroughly, there will not be enough. The final decision' will still rest in the hands of the men who raise our food iin the first place. . . “The clear duty of the nation is .to .guarantee' the fanners a fair price for their crops when grown, and a reasonable supply of labor at harvest. The. clear duty of the farmer is to raise enough food to win this war for Democracy against Kaiserdom. “No such responsibility has ever rested on any class of men since the world began as rests today on the farmers of America.”

How Many Soldiers Will Jasper County Furnish?

Pending the action of congress, which passed the army conscription biH last Saturday night, there has ;been considerable speculation as well as figuring concerning the nnlmber of men Jaisfper county will be compelled to send to the support of the colors. It is estimated that the county will ibe called upon the first draft for about 260 men. Estimating the population of Jasper county at 14,000, there will be about 1,555 men who will come under the military age limit. One-sixth of these would make the county’s quota for the first call about 260 men. However, it is generally .believed that Indiana will be given credit for the recruits already signed for the arm y and navy since the war broke out. Several thousand have been recruited in this state and if these are deducted from the total number required of the state, the figures will be lowered from these estimates.

required will be arrested and severe penality will attach. ~~ After this list has been completed, all net required to enlist from physical inability or for other reasons named! in the law will have their names stricken from the list. The names remaining will then be put into a receptacle and there will be ■a drawing as jurors aire selected and the names first drawn will be the ones to eniter the service. It ds impossible to tell at this time the number of men that will be afted from Jasper county. Should there be more than one call it is understood that the names still remaining and not selected will be used from which to make the latter selections. f -Governor Goodrich will make an effort to make Indiana the first state in the union, tn complete its draft.

PAYNE ACQUITTED OF ROBBERY CHARGE

State Fails to Prove Theft and Jury Ordered to Bring In Verdict of Not Guilty. Lewis Payne, who was some time ago lodged in the county jail on a charge preferred against him by the state, of being implicated in the theft of the J. C. Gwin Overland from the Gwin garage a couple of weeks ago, was found not guilty of the charge Monday afternoon and was turned loose. Payne had been out on bail for the past few days, the bail having been furnished by his sister in Hammond. The case against Scott Chesnut on the same charge will come up in Newton county this month. In order to prove theft against a person it must be shown that the accused party must have liad in his possession the stolen pr perty. This the state failed to do and Judge Hanley' ordered that the jury return a verdict of not -guilty, stating that the state had not made their case against Payne. Payne stated on the stand that ne had been invited to go along by Chesnut, who -had the car, and that he had nothing to do with taking the car from the garage and thereby he was not in possession of it at any time. Jim Johnson, a wood chopper, was also on the stand and stated that he had been invited by Chesnut to take a ride with him, but that he declined. The acquittal of Payne makes it look black for Chesnut and would indicate that the latter was wholly at fault -in the matter.
