To Peel Off Freckled, Tanned or Muddy Skin

To remove tan, muddiness, freckles, blotches or any complexion difficulty, the best thing to do is to remove the skin itself. This is easily, painlessly and inexpensively done by the application of ordinary mercolized wax, procurable at any drug store. The wax peels off the defective outer skin, a little each day, gradually bringing the cuts or second layer of skin to the surface. The pores are unclogged and the face breathes in the life-giving oxygen. The new skin is beautifully soft, clear and white, bearing the healthy glow of youth. Just apply the wax as you would cold cream, only not rubbing it in. In the morning wash it off with warm water. It's the most effective treatment known for soiled, discolored or aged complexion.

The city was held by French and British, supported by heavy artillery. During the bombardment, the German artillery directed its fire against the southern end of the city to clear the bridges spanning the Sambre. In thy meantime Krupp siege guns had been mounted upon sheltering eminences, and were shelling the defensive works of the French. While the battle was raging around Charleroi, the inhabitants suddenly heard the roar of artillery to the northeast. Attacks from Rear. This came from a German column that had crossed the Meuse near Huy, and was fighting its way westward opposed by French and Belgians. The Germans gained a foothold in Charleroi, and then followed desperate hand to hand fighting in the streets. Lieutenant Col. Alsager Pollock, the military expert of The Daily Express, expresses the opinion that the Germans were able to capture Namur by means of a grand assault and artillery bombardment made suddenly at night. He says: "The fall of Namur is incomprehensible. Probably night attacks were delivered by overwhelming numbers. But the city having fallen, the line of the Sambre river is rendered untenable, and the retirement of the French army stationed along that river was made inevitable. Danger from Rear. "The country in the direction of Meziers, is very suitable to rear-guard operations. The gap between Toul, and Epinal is threatened, but it may be hoped that the line of the Moselle river, and elsewhere has been judiciously entrenched. "It looks as though the wings of the allied forces between Charleroi and Namur found itself in danger of being overwhelmed by superior German forces directed against this point and fell back to avoid unnecessary loss of life." Col. Reppington, the war expert of The Times gives the opinion that the possession of Namur was vital to the allies, but he expresses the hope that the counter-offensive movement against the right flank of the Germans has been only postponed, and not abandoned entirely. As to the retirement of the allies, Col. Reppington says: "We must frankly admit that, with the loss of Namur, and the river lines, an offensive movement on the part of the allies, will take place under less favorable chances for success than heretofore existed. It will be seen from the dispatches that our little army (British forces) was fighting at Mons while unfortunate events were happening further east, and that, during Sunday it retained its position. Our information is that it received the German attack unmoved, but in what strength it suffered, we are not yet told. It seems certain, however that our army, doubtless to its disgust and disappointment had to conform with the movements of the French."

Constipation in Summer-time is more dangerous than in the fall, winter or spring. The food you eat is often contaminated and is more likely to ferment in your stomach. Then you are apt to drink much cold water during the hot weather, thus injuring your stomach. Colic, Fever, Ptomaine Poisoning and other ills are natural results. Po-Do-Lax will keep you well, as It increases the Bile, the natural laxative, which rids the bowels of the congested poisonous waste. Po-Do-Lax will make you feel better. Pleasant and effective.

CITY SETS TAX

period of four years and cannot be changed now for three years. Mayor Robbins turned down Councilman O'Niel's proposal that $1,000 be taken from the $8,000 crushed stone fund and added to the $3,000 hospital fund. "I know the hosnital la a Meaalnsr

to the city," Mayor Robbins replied. "But if the hospital is finding expenses Increased, so has the city found that it has to squeeze at every corner to make both ends meet. The hospital is a good institution and does much charity work. The charges are lower than hospitals elsewhere. I am a friend of the hospital but the city cannot at this time give more aid." Councilman Russell proposed that the $8,000 allowed in the budget for crushed stone be, altered to include a binder for macadam streets. He showed how improved streets are worn by the absence of binder. Complain of Streets. This opened a discussion of the present condition of streets where the Light, Heat and Power company is searching for leaks in gas mains. Frank Howells of the Fifth ward complained against the condition of East Main street where excavations have appeared every ten or fifteen feet. "It is not so much that I object to the excavating, but it is the 'condition of the streets after the company has restored them," Councilman Howells said. "It would be a saving for the city to appropriate $800 or $1,000 as salary to a street inspector to see that brick and macadam streets are properly restored. A few years ago the city employed inspectors to watch the work. The water works and gas company repaid the city the $300 the inspector received. On east Main street, there seems to be a leak in every connection of the line." Clerk Bescher stated that there were twenty-nine petitions in the engineers office to make excavations, one of which was to dig up South Sixteenth street which was completed just three days before the petition came in. He also stated that the gas company is reported to be losing thirty-three per cent of its product through faulty plumbing in the mains. Bond Suggests Plan. The city attorney suggested that all property owners along streets to be improved should be notified in ample time before the improvement and the water works and gas companies fV.ould also be given notice. Then unless gas and water connections are made at least up to the curb of every property whether occupied or not, the city could refuse to permit excavations for this purpose until the street had worn down. After advising council that the property owners are partly to blame for excavations by their failure to have the gas and water connections made when streets are torn up, Mayor Robbins said that an ordinance should be drawn up giving the city some recompense for the excavating. He referred the matter to the committee on sewers, streets and alleys for further investigation. Alfred Bavis advanced the belief that companies should be placed under partial bond. This would be subject to collections unless excavations were restored in twenty-four or fortyeight hours, the allotted time. He said the board could not have repairs all over the city rolled with one street roller and that the price of another was included in the budget. Council then decided to meet again next Monday night for further consideration of the problems which arose last night.
