How to Beautify a
Summer Soiled Face
It's really a simple matter to reno
vate a face soiled by sun, winds or dirt.
Ordinary mercolized wax. used like cold
cream, will transform the worst old
complexion into one of snowy white
♦J.'? lvety softness, it literally
peels ofT this outer veil of surface skin
but so sently, gradually, there's no dis
comfort. 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.
Manv skins wrinkle easily with every
wind that blows, with heat, worry etc
•^ n . 1 € ? c . ellen \ wr , i " kle remover, because
it tightens the skin and strengthens re
laxed muscles. is a wash lotion maa u
as follows: Powdered saxolite. 1 oz
dissolved in witch hazel. Nt Thi*
gives immediate results.

STORM HITS CAMP HARD

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

made a very good average score and
iit would go pretty hard with Villa
| or his bandits if they ever came in
contact with Company D.
"The company Tias now an organized
I baseball team and played their first
j same this afternoon, winning from
S the K. of C. team, 22 to 8. 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."

Rules of procedure, governing ap
peals to the courts from decisions of
the Workmen's Compensation Board,
similar to the rules adopted by the
board of Judges of Philadelphia coun
ty, will be adopted by other common
pleas courts of the State when these
tribunals resume their sessions this
Fall. This action will assure uniform
procedure throughout the Common

Section 425 of the workmen's com

prothonotary of the common pleas
court having jurisdiction within ten
days after notice of the board's de

The Philadelphia courts In July

of a case in which the appeal has been
taken and the prothonotary is further
directed to obtain these records by
