Australia First Nation to Use Interned Vessels Sydney, Australia, May 18.—Wil liam M. Hughes, the Prime Minister of Australia, in an address delivered here the other day, said: "It will probably come as a sur prise to the public to learn that Aus tralia was the first of all the nations to employ interned enemy vessels and prizes in ordinary mercantile work and to utilize the cargo space of transports. In both these mat ters and in the policy of controlling shipping generally Great Britain was triad to follow the lead given her by Australia. "Australia stands as the first country to organize the whole ship ping business systematically while the other nations had to reduce their exports to suit the reduction in tonnage. Australia was able last year to export every ton of produce for which there was no local mar ket. with the exception of wheat, and even of wheat there was a greater quantity exported than dur ing any previous year. At the end of last year there was no single product except wheat to go for ward." HOLLAND NEEDS COAL The Hague, Netherlands, May 18.

The an swer is, go to Gorgas, the druggist, or any first-class dealer, at once, get a bottle of Usit and apply it regular ly at night before retiring, for a short time. The results, from the use of this pure nut-oil, liquid prep aration, are wonderful. Wrinkles disappear, the skin becomes soft and smooth, plumpness is restored, and youthful color and freshness re trrn. It is clean, delicately per fumed, guaranteed not to cause the slightest hair-growth, and freckles, blackheads and many forms of ec zema as well, yield to this treatment.
