14 Complexion Fresh as a yDaisy^^nnkle By Mile. Marrlx, Frnr*' (irrat I*rte It's wonderful to look beautiful and ! youthful. The Countess de Chevanne. i who at seventy years of ase possesses a marvelouslv soft, smooth, velvet-like skin and almost grirl-like complexion, j without a wrinkle In sight told the writer personally In Paris that she owed It all to the discovery of skin osmosis. With this marvelous discovery ! every complexion blemish can be ban- I ished In three nights In many in stances. and you can awaken in the morning: with a beautiful natural rose colored complexion as fresh as a daisy. I have known dozens of hollow- j cheeked, wrinkled, aged-looking wo men, who had given up all hope of ever looking beautiful and youthful again, to "Come back" and again become most "beautiful, youthful and fascinating in from two to three weeks' time by this wonderful simple method. No matter what your age or what you have tried unsuccessfully, skin os mosis will positively bring you new beauty and youth. Merely wash your face in warm water at night and rub In a teaspoonful or two of any good pure roseated cream, which you can obtain J from your druggist. In the morning wash the face with cold water and rub In more cream. In three weeks or less watch the magic transformation. See how the old, I hardened, coarse, rough skin turns Into ! new, fresh, soft, youthful looking skin almost before your very eyes, all due ; to simple skin osmosis produced solely 1 by warm water and roseated cream. But be sure to use only pure roseated i cream, as It is an entirely different I thing from ordinary face creams and British Red Cross uses Hundreds of Gallons of this Wonderful " Dielectric" 1 lon-o-lex Unguent, under its English name of "Di electric." is revolutionizing the treatment of wounds and diseases in English military and field hospitals.

WILSON DEALS WITH RAILROAD LEGISLATION IN ADDRESS TO CONGRESS Washington, Dec. s.—President Wilson's address at the opening of the session of Congress to-day was wholly devoted to domestic subjects, principally the problem of railway legislation. In the llall of the House with Senators and Representatives assembled in joint session. President Wilson in accordance with the custom he began at the opening of his term, read his address from the clerk's desk. The President not only renewed his recommendation for legis lation to prevent a nation-wide railway strike or lockout before there has been opportunity for investigation, but defended it against the attack of organized labor as nothing arbitrary or unjust and the "justifiable safeguarding by society of the necessary processes of its very life." Devoted Almost Wholly to Roads 1 Aside from recommendations for the passage of the Porto Rico government bill, the corrupt practices bill and the Webb bill to legalize American col lective selling agencies abroad, the President's address was devoted wholly to the railroad situation. The only j feature which had not been forecast | was the elimination of the proposal j that Congress give explicit approval to consideration by the Interstate Com merce Commission of an Increase In freight rates to meet additional ex penditures by the railroads caused by the operation of the Adamson law. To-day the President took the po sition that "the power of the Inter state Commerce Commission to grant an Increase of rates on the ground re ferred to is Indisputably clear and a recommendation by the Congress with regard to such a matter might seem to j draw in question the scope of the com- I mission's authority or its Inclination to ! do Justice when there is no reason to j doubt either." Other Railroad Recommendations The other recommendations on the [ railroad situation made In a special message during the last session, which were not put into law, were renewed to-day. They Include: "Immediate provision for the en largement and administrative reorgan ization of the Interstate Commerce j Commisison along the lines embodied j in the bill recently passed by the j House of Representatives and now ; awaiting action by tlje Senate; In or- j der that the commission may be enabled to deal with the many great and various duties now devolving upon It with a promptness and thorough ness which are, with its present consti tution and means of action, practically impossible. "An amendment of the existing fed eral statute which provides for the mediation, conciliation and arbitration of such controversies as the present by i adding to it a provision that, in case i the methods of accommodation now ! provided for should fall, a full public j Investigation of the merits of every I such dispute shall be instituted and S completed before a strike or lockout i may lawfully be attempted." President's Address Gentlemen of the Congress: In fulfilling at this time the duty laid upon me by the Constitution of communicating to you from time to time information of the state of the | Unton and recommending to your con i sideratlon such legislative measures as I may be judged necessary and expedient I shall continue the practice, which 1 I hope has been acceptable to you, of leaving to the reports of the several i heads of the executive departments the elaboration of the detailed needs 1 of the public service and confine my \ self to those matters of more general ; public policy with which It seems i necessary and feasible to deal at the j present session of the Congress. I realize the limitations of time ! under which you will necessarily act jat this session and shall make my I suggestions as few as possible: but I there were some things left undone at i the last session which there will now i be time to complete and which it seems necessary In the interest of the public to do at once. In the first place, it seems to me im : peratlvely necessary that the earliest 1 possible consideration and action 1 should be accorded the remaining measures of the program of settlement j and regulation which I had occasion to recommend to you at the close of i your last session in view of the public dangers disclosed by the unaccommo j dated difficulties which then existed, , and which still unhappily continue to I exist, between the railroads of the I country and their locomotive engl ! neers, conductors and trainmen. Reviews Recommendations I then recommended: First, immediate provision for the enlargement and administrative re organization of the Interstate Com merce Commission along the lines em bodied in the bill recently passed by the House of Representatives and now awaiting action by the Senate: In order that the commission may be enabled to deal with the many great and vari ous duties now devolving upon It with a promptness and thoroughness which are. with its present constitution and i means of action, practically impos sible. Second, the establishment of an eight-hour day as the legal basis altke of work and of wages in the employ i ment of all railway employes who are actually engaged in the work of op ! erating trains In interstate transpor j tation. S Third, the authorization of the ap i point ment by the President of a small i body of men to observe the actual re sults in experience of the adoption of I the eight-hour day in railway trans : nortation alike for the men and for J the railroads. Fourth, explicit approval by the i Congress of the consideration by the i Interstate Commerce Commission of , an increase of freight rates to meet such additional expenditures by the railroads as may have been rendered necessary by the adoption of the eight hour day and which have not been offset by administrative readjustments and economies, should the facts dis closed justify the Increase. Fifth, an amendment of the existing federal statute vhich provides for the mediation, conciliation and arbitration of such controversies as the present by adding to It a provision that. In case the methods of accommodation now provided for should fall, a full public Investigation of the merits of every such dispute shall be Instituted and completed hefore a strike or lockout may lawfully bo attempted. Power to Take Over Lines And, sixth, the lodgement In the hands of the Executive of the power. In case of military necessity, to take control of such portions and such roll ing stock of the railways of the coun try as may be required for military use and to operate them for military pur poses, with authority to draft Into the military service of the United States such train crews and administrative officials as the circumstances require for their safe and efficient use. The second and third of these rec ommendations the Congress immedi ately acted on: It established the eight hour day as the legal basis of work and wages In train service and It au thorized the appointment of a commis sion to observe and report upon the practical results, deeming these the measures most immediately needed; but It postponed action upon the other suggestions until an opportunity should be offered for a more deliberate con sideration of them. The fourth rec HARMSBURCnHB^PraLEGRAFI^^ omniendation I do not deem it neces sary to renew. The power of the In- ' terstate Commerce Commission to Krant an Increase of rates on the ground referred to is indisputably clear and a recommendation by the Congresswlth regard to such a matter might seem to draw in question the scope of the commission's authority or its Inclination to do justice when there is no reason to doubt either. Increase Commerce Membership The other suggestions—the increase in the Interstate Commerce Commts- ' sion's membership and in its facilities j for performing its manifold duties, the : provision for full public investigation j and assessment of industrial disputes, ! and the grant to the Executive of the power to control and operate the rail ways when necessary in time of war or other like public necessity—l now very earnestly renew. Necessity is Pressing The necessity for such legislation is manifest and pressing. Those who have entrusted us with the responsi- - billty and duty of serving and safe- j guarding them in such matters would i find it hard, I believe, to excuse a fail- I ure to act upon these grave matters or any unnecessary postponement of ac tion upon them. Not only does the Interstate Com merce Commission now find it prac tically Impossible, with its present membership and organization, to per form its great functions promptly and thoroughly, but it is not unlikely that it may presently be found advisable to add to its duties still others equally heavy and exacting. It must first be perfected as an administrative instru ment. The country cannot and should not consent to remain any longer exposed to profound industrial disturbances for! lack of additional means of arbitration I and conciliation which the Congress I can easily and promptly supply. And all will agree that there must be no | doubt as to the power of the Executive ' to make immediate and uninterrupted use of the railroads for the concen- j tration of the military forces of the nation wherever they are needed and i whenever they are needed. I This is a program of regulation, pre ; vention and administrative efficiency which argues Its own case in the mere statement of it. With regard to one of its items, the Increase In the ef ficiency of the Interstate Commerce Commission, the House of Representa tives has already acted; Its action needs only tho concurrence of the Senate. J wou 'd hesitate to recommend, and I dare say the Congress would hesitate to act upon the suggestion should I make it. that any man in any occu pation should be obliged by law to continue in an employment which he desired to leave. To pass a law which rorbade or prevented the Individual workman to leave his work before re ceiving the approval of society in do ing so would be to adopt a new prin- j take it for granted we are not prepared to Introduce. But the proposal that the operation of the railways of the country shall not be stopped or inter rupted by the concerted action of or ganized bodies of men until a public investigation shall have been Instituted which shall make the whole question at Issue plain for the judgment of the opinion of the nation ia not to propose any such principle. It is based upon the very different principle that the concerted action of powerful bodies of men shall not be permitted to stop the industrial processes of the nation, at any rate before the nation shall have had an opportunity to acquaint Itself with the merits ot the case as between employe and employer, time to form its opinion upon an impartial state ment of the merits, and opportunity to consider all practicable means of con ciliation or arbitration. I can see nothing in that proposition but the Justifiable safeguarding by society of the necessary processes of Its very life There nothing arbitrary or unjust Iri It unless It be arbitrarily and unjustly done. It can and should be done with a full and scrupulous regard for the Interests and liberties of all concerned as well as for permanent interests of society ltseh. Three matters of capital importance await ♦he action of the Senate which have already been acted upon by the House of Representatives: the bill which seeks to extend greater freedom of. combination to those engaged in promoting the foreign commerce of the country than is now thought by some to be legal under the terms of the laws against monopoly; the bill amending the present organic law of Porto Rico; and the bill proposing a more thorough and systematic regu lation of the expenditure of monev In elections, commonly called tho corrupt practices act. I need not labor my advice that these measures be enacted into law. Their urgency lies In the manifest circumstances which render their adoption at this time not only opportune but necessary. Even delay woudl seriously jeopard the Interests of the country and of the government. Wants Immediate Passage Immediate passage of the bill to regulate the expenditure of money in elections may seem to be less necessary than the Immediate enactment of the other measures to which I refer; be cause at least two years will eiapse before another election In which fed eral offices are to be filled; but it would greatly relieve the public mind If this important matter were dealt with while the circumstances and the dangers of the public morals of the present method of obtaining and spending campaign funds stand clear under recent observation and the | methods of expenditure can be frankly studied In the light of present experi ence; and a delay would have the fur ther very serious disadvantage of post poning action until another election was at hand and some special object connected with It might be thought to be In the mind of those who urged it. Action can be taken now with facts for guidance and without suspicion of partisan purpose. I shall not argue at length the de sirability of giving a freer hand in the matter of combined and concerted ef fort to those who shall undertake the essential enterprise of building up our export trade. That enterprise will presently, will immediately assume, has Indeed already assumed, a mag nitude unprecedented In our experi ence. We have not the necessary In strumentalities for its prosecution; it Is deemed to be doubtful whether they could be created upon an adequate scale under our present laws. We should clear away all legal obstacles and create a basis of undoubted law for It which will give freedom without permitting unregulated license. The ® I Investment Opportunity Merchants Ice Company of Harrisburg Offers $60,000.00 of 7 per cent, cumulative preferred stock, preferred to all other stock both as to capital and dividends, in 6,000 shares at $lO per share. This Company, on August 31, 1916, in the first season of its operation, shows $5,193.85 profit, clear gain after deducting over $2,000 for depreciation of plant and over $3,500 for experimental work and tuning up of brand new machinery. This is an earning of over 10 per cent, on its present capital. Preferred stock is issued to enlarge the plant so as to make 50 tons more of ice per day. This step is rendered necessary by the fact that the company was not able to supply one-half the demand of its stockholders alone, during the past season; and at no time is the output of artificial ice in Harrisburg nearly equal to the Summer demand. This stock offers a most unusual opportunity for investment right at home, with absolute security and a high rate of income. Not less than io shares will be sold to one subscriber. The Company reserves the right to reject subscriptions, or fill them in part. Subscriptions may be made at the office of the company, or with any of the following directors: L. W. Kay, President, Metropolitan Hotel. A. P. Kitchen, Vice-President, Seventeenth and Walnut Streets. E. L. Egolf, Treasurer, 302 Market Street. W. J. Perrin, 1152 Market Street. C. E. Danner, 86 N.

Cites I'orto Kican Arguments The argument for the proposed amendments of the organic law of Porto Rico is brief and conclusive. The present laws governing the island and regulating the rights and P leges of its people are not just. %Ve have created expectations of extended privilege which we have not satistled. There, is uneasiness among the people of the island and even a suspicious doubt with regard to our intentions concerning them which the adoption of the pending measure would happily remove. We do not doubt what we wish to do in any essential particular. We ought to do it at once. At the last sesion of the Congress a bill was passed by the Senate which provides for the promotion of voca tional and industrial education, which is of \ital importance to the whole country because It concerns a matter, too long neglected, upon which the thorough industrial preparation of the country for the critical years of eco nomic development immediately ahead of us in very large measure depends. May I not urge its early and favorable consideration by the House of Repre sentatives and its early enactment into I law? It contains plans which affect I all interests and all parts of the coun try and I am sure that there Is no legislation now pending before the I Congress whose passage the country I awaits with more thoughtful approval I or greater impatience to see a #reat | and admirable thing set in the way of being done. There are other matters already ad vanced to the stage of conference be tween the two houses of which it is not necessary that I should speak. Some practicable basis of agreement concerning them will no doubt be found and action taken upon them. Inasmuch as this is, gentlemen, probably the last occasion T shall have to address the Sixty-fourth Congress, I hope that you will permit me to say with what genuine pleasure and satisfaction I have co-operated with you in the many measures of con structive policy with which you have enriched the legislative annals of the country. It has been a privilege to labor in such company. I take the liberty of congratulating you upon the completion of a record of rare servlce ableness and distinction. $1268,715,834 Will Be Required to Meet AU Expenses of Nation in 1918 Washington; D.

S. Army and Navy Washington. D. C., Dec. 5. Esti- ! mates for maintaining and strength ening the army and navy during the fiscal year 1918 indicate that Congress will be asked this winter to provide about $800,000,000 for that purpose. The total of estimates already sub mitted and made public when Con gress convened, is $757,684,560 to cover the military activities of both departments. Statements made by navy officials to the House Naval Committee, now considering that bill, have foreshadowed however, large supplementary estimates to be sub mitted later, and a similar situation' exists at the W r ar Department. The preliminary estimate for the 1 army is $373,074,565, an increase of | about $70,000,000 over the amount appropriated for 1917. The navy total of $379,151,701 is an increase of $66,451,146 over 1917 figures. Panama Canal fortifications will take $5,358,300, an Increase of about $300,- 000. More than $10,000,000 of the army Increase will go Into the payment of regulars, national guardsmen and members of the reserve. A total of $97,794,995 is sought under the pay item and the estimates show that the number of privates provided for un der this section is 258,594. Of that total 94,279 would be in the regular service and 164,315 in the national guard. Congress Is Asked For $32, 136,063 For Rivers Washington, Dec. 5. Congress was asked to appropriate $32,136,063 for Improvement and maintenance during the fiscal year of 1918 of rivers and harbors utilized in the nation's water-borne commerce. That amount is a reduction of almost $10,000,000 i from the appropriations for the J previous year. Almost two-thirds ( j the estimated expenditures are fc ! the large rivers, and the port of Ne | York through which the greater pai iof the country's foreign commen passes.
