How to Lose Your Tan,
Freckles or Redness
A day's motoring, an afternoon on
the tennis ground or golf links, a
sunbath on the beach or exposure or? 1
a lake trip, often brings on a deep j
tan or vivid crimson or, more per- '
plexing still, a vigorous crop of i
freckles. A very necessary thing
then in mercolized wax, which re- I
moves tan, redness or freckles quite |
easily. It literally peels off the af- !
fected skin —just a little at a time, so I
there's no hurt or injury. As the i
skin comes off in almost invisible
flaky particles, no traces of the treat- '
ment is shown. Procure an ounce
of mercolized wax at your druggist's
and use this nigjitly as you would
cold cream, washing it off mornings.
In a week or so you will have an en- 1
tirely new skin, beautifully clear, i
transparent and of a most delicate J
whiteness.

Says His Prescription

Over Rheumatism
Discoverer Tells Druggist* Not to 1

Unless Allenrliu Completely llnn-

Twinges,
Mr. James H. Allen suffered for
years with rheumatism. Many times
this terrible disease left him helpless
and unable to work.
He finally decided, after years of
ceaseless study, that no one can be
free from rheumatism until the ac
cumulated impurities, commonly call
ed uric acid deposits, were dissolved
in the joints and muscles and ex
pelled from the body.
With this idea in mind he consult
ed physicians, made experiments and
finally compounded a prescription
that quickly and completely banish
ed every sign and symptom of rheu
matism from his system.
He freely gave his discovery to
others who took it, with what might
be called marvelous success. After
years of urging he decided to let suf
ferers everywhere know about his
discovery through the newspapers.

ed agent for Allenrhu in this vicin

THURSDAY EVENING,
KOLCHAK DRIVEN
FARTHER BACK
BY BOLSHEVIKI
Cossacks Forced to Retreat 60
Miles by Victorious "Reds;"
U. S. Aid Should Help
By Associated Press.
London, Aug. 14. The retreat
in the Ural mountains of the forces
of Admiral ICqtchak continues, ac
cording to news received here to
day. South of Uralsk at the south
ern end of the Urals, it is added, the
Bolshevikt have driven the Cossacks
j back CO miles and are endeavoring
jto separate them from the main
l body of the Kolcliak forces who are
j fighting on both sides of the trans-
Siberian railway.
East of Cheliabinsk, a junction
point on the railway, and Shadrinsk,
the Bolsheviki are said to have
reached the line of the Miass and
lsset rivers and captured Tiumen,
just east of the Russian-Siberian
border. The advices add that there
is no sign that the Bolshevik ad
vance is likely to be checked.
The Associated Press is informed,
however, that the general position
of Admiral Kolchalk and his Gov
ernment is not believed to be made
materially worse by the Bolsheviki
advance, and barring the unexpected
collapse of Admiral Kolchak, the
munitions America is sending should
arrive in Siberia in time to aid in
his recovery.
Nevertheless, it is admitted here
that the reverses suffered by Admiral
Kolehalt are a serious blow to the
policy of the Entente in Russia.
Better news has been received
from South Russia where General
Petluru, the Ukrainian antiHolshe
vik leader, is progressing rapidly
toward Kiev with a view to cutting
the railways southward towards
Odessa, which probably will have
to be evacuated by the Soviet forces.
The Russian volunteer troops under
General Denikine are closing in on
Odessa from the Northeast and the
east and it is believed that the whole
Black sea coast will soon be out of I
Bolshevik hands.
Truce Permits
Performances in
Chicago Theaters
Chicago, Aug. 14.—Performances
were held last night at all the big
Chicago playhouses by virtue of a
truce in the actors' strike, which
Tuesday night closed the Cort The
ater and Cohan's Grand Opera
House and threatened to spread to
other houses.
Both sides in the controversy
agreed to halt hostilities pending
hearing on an application for an
injunction to restrain the company
playing "Up in Mabel's Room" from
striking. Application was filed by
A. JI. Woods, proprietor of Woods
Theater. Testimony in the hearing
on the petition was begun before a j
master in Chancery.
Francis Wilson, president of the !
Equity Association of Actors and j
Artists, intimated last night that if
the injunction is denied the fight
would lie renewed and every theater 1
in Chicago closed.
Disabled Soldiers Can

Increased Production
England's Only Hope!
Ity Associated Press.
London, Aug. 5. lncreased pro
i duction is England's only hope for
| decreased living costs, in the opinion
of Britain's food controller, G. H.
Roberts.
Addressing a meeting of York
shire food committees Controller j
! Roberts declared "I cannot honestly |
j hold out any hopes that prices will I
Ibe any lower this winter. Without
I increased production we shall never '
'get rid of the burden or high prices." |
j "Miners and other workers oxer- |
joise a more potent influence on food
j prices than I do," Mr. Roberts
stated at another meeting. "We i
have to persuade the miners and
workers into a recognition of their
responsibilities because when they
slack in their work they do harm
to every member of the population. I
Without the co-operation of every I
class in the country, we may start '
to write the decline and fall of the I
British empire."
Rail Wage Boost Means
Freight Rise, Hines Hints
Washington, Aug. 14. Wage
increases lor railroad employes will
be considered by the railroad ad
ministration immediately after the
last striking shopmen have returned
to work. Director General Hines
said yesterday. Requests for in- I
creases are expected to come from
all of the fifteen railroad unions I
which have not yet presented de
mands.
Hines said the problem of freight
rates was "inextricably bound up"
with the question of wage advances
indicating that the long expected
advance in rates probably would not
fully develop until the wage de
mands were settled.
