In the large crater in the center of the village, excavated in an Instant by the explosion of a single giant shell-

that food cards are placed in the win

dows of all the homes in the parish. Fatter Zepf presided at the meeting and urged the women of his parish to co-operate in every 'way with Mrs. Monarch. He said he knew all the women were in the habit of saving and had been all their lives so it would be easy for them to keep the pledge.

licity committee, said she hoped everv

woman would sign a card and get her neighbor to sign. She said any woman whose husband would not let her sign a pledge card, as has been the case in instances in other parts of Richmond, ought to see Judge Fox and she was positive she would have no

difficulty In securing the necessary papers. Mrs. A. L.

Bunch for Congress Boom is Started

MUKC1E, Ind., Nov. 9. Flushed by the success of Dr. Rollin H. Bunch's victory when he was elected mayor of Muncie by a plurality of 2,004 votes, his political friends here have started a boom for Bunch for congress. They say that since his overwhelming victory in a city that is normally Republican or at least formerly was Bunch becomes by rights the "first Democrat" of the Eighth district and is entitled to the congressional nomination. These friends say that Bunch is in close touch with the Madison county Democratic organization as well as being in absolute control of that in Delaware, and if he can obtain the support of these two counties, would be able to run over the four small counties that complete the district.

It Is more Important now than during the period of profuse perspiration, to keep the pores clean. All cosmetics clog the pores. In cool weather this interferes grreatly with elimination of waste material, injuring instead of aiding the complexion. Ordinary mercolized wax serves all the purposes of cj earns, powders and rouges, giving far better results. It actually peels off an offensive skin, at the same time unclogging the pores. Minute particles of scarf skin come off day by day, causing not the least discomfort. Gradually the healthy, younger skin beneath peeps out, and in less than a fortnight you have a lovelier complexion than you ever dreamed of acquiring. Mercollzed wax, obtainable at any drug store, Is spread on nightly like cold cream and washed off mornings. One ounce usually suffices. For removing wrinkles without stopping the pores with pasty stuff, here's a never-failing formula: One ounce powdered saxolite, dissolved in cne-half pint witch hazel. Bathe the face In this daily for awhile; every line will vanish completely. Even the first application gives surprising results. Adv.
