The wornout skin comes off not in patches, but evenly, in tiny par ticles, leaving no evidence of the treat ment The younger, healthier under pin forming the new complexion is one of captivating loveliness. One ounce of mercolized wax. to be had at anv drugstore, is enough to remove any tanned, reddened. pimpl»d. freckled or blotchy skin. Apply before retring, washing it off mornings.

D Has First Rifle Practice Special to the Telegraph Camp Stewart. El Paso. Tex., Aug. 21. —No more camp news will be given out by special correspondents to their home papers, according to a report that reached here Saturday from Gen eral Funston's headquarters. Soldiers may write home and tell of their expe riences in camp, but signed articles and special news must go out through headquarters. What brought this about has not been explained. However, there will be letters to the editors, and the boys will continue to tell how are get ting along. Information regarding movements of troops, hikes, special drills, etc., will be told about officially from headquarters. A general opinion prevails here that the quietus on the news is because of the desire to keep the Mexicans from being in formed as to what is going on along the United States border. Extracts from letters sent home: "I have told you before that we had no rain here—at least not enough to properly lay the dust. Last night we had a real rain, accompanied by a terrific wind that blew down tents and snapped off tent poles, and in many cases ripped up canvas. This storm came from the southeast and entered the valley between the moun tains. "Picture a valley much wider than the Cumberland at any place, and perfectly level, bounded on either side by ragged mountains—one side so far away as to be only an outline at night, the other standing out in bold relief against the sky and to all ap pearances about 1,000 yards away, but in reality about three to six miles. "The rain poured and the wind blew, yet so bright was the moon that I had no trouble to read the ad dresses on the evening mail, which I distributed to the men by its light. Rare Rainbow Scene "More remarkable still was the presence of a rainbow, which touched the mountain at each end of it (that is apparently touched it) and was as | bright and brilliant as any I have I ever seen and much longer. I have | never seen such a sight and I have | not come in contact with any one who has seen anything to equal it. "I have spoken about the gener osity of the civilian population before. Last night the University Club of El Paso gave an entertainment back of our camp at the Mt. Franklin Country Club to all graduates or post gradu ates—in fact, they asked no questions of any one. There were songs, yells and plenty to eat and drink. They even gave the buckets and tubs they used for drinks and lemonade to the soldier guests for wash tubs.' News Prom Company T) "Company D has now been encamped here four weeks, and it certainly has been a busy four weeks for the Har risburgers. In checking back to our arrival here, we find that we are now a more efficient and organized unit; every man is fully equipped, ready for the field, and with the instruction and drilling we have had down here are almost ready to be classed as reg ulars. The men respond to their dif ferent duties promptly and willingly and all seem well satisfied with the instruction they are receiving. "Last Tuesday evening members from Company D attended the dedi- i catory exercises of the Y. M. C. A. hut, erected near the Third Brigade headquarters for the comfort of Pcnn sylvanians. Major General Clement presided and one hour was devoted to dedicating the building, and the in troduction of the secretaries. This Y. M. C. A. certainly is an oasis in the desert for the men in camp.

A league i is being formed, and in a few days j the boys will be having lively tilts on the diamond, relieving the monot ony of the morning drill and making a fellow feel as though he were play ing on the lot back home. "The Harrisburg boys who were transferred to the machine gun com pany are rapidly learning the differ ent parts of the new Leur's type gun, i and in a test of speed in assembling I are second to none in the entire Penn : sylvania division. "The boys of Company D received their first experience of hiking Friday morning, when the Eighth regiment, headed by Colonel Finney, made about a six-mile hike toward Mt. Franklin i and back to camp. It was very rough i walking .over hills and rocky gullies, i with now and then the road almost i obliterated and only a small trail to | follow. The cactus mesquite and sand made it rather rough hiking, but the boys all endured the walk very well, and are ready for another and larger ! one. Foot Inspection "After the hike was foot inspection the doctors examining' the feet for any soreness, corns or bunions; and j the feet of our men were found in | excellent condition. There would seem with this warm climate and hot sand burning the feet that many a foot would be sore or blistered, but with the instructions in the car of the feet by our officers our men have learned to care for the feet more than they ever thought of caring for them before. A noted army man has been quoted as saying that the first thing that a soldier needs is a good pair of shoes, and the second thing, an other good pair of shoes. Company D is very fortunate In being supplied with at least two pairs of good shoes for each man." SPAIN INCREASES/ ARMY By Associated Press Madrid. Spain, Aug. 21.
