To Have Smooth, White,
Soft Skin All Winter
Does your skin chap or roughen eas
ily in tills weather, or become unduly
red or blotchy? Uet me tell you a quick,
easy way to overcome the trouble and
keep your complexion beautifully white,
smooth and soft the winter long. Just
get an ounce of ordinary mercolized
wax at the nearest drug store and use a
little before retiring, as you would
cold cream. Upon arising, remove the
coating with sudsy water. The wax,
through some peculiar attribute, flecks
oft' the rough, discolored or blemished
skin. The worn-out cuticle comes off
Just like dandruff on a diseased scalp,
only In almost Invisible particles. Mer
colized wax stmply hastens Nature's
work. I'sed as required. It keeps the
face constantly free from devitalized
scarf skin and only the healthy, young
looking skin is in evidence. It's the
best treatment known for weather
beaten, aged, muddy, freckled, pimpled
and all unbeautlful complexions.
Some skins wrinkle easily in winter.
There's an excellent remedy In a harm
less wash lotion made by dissolving 1
oz. powdered saxolite in % pint witch
hazel. This will quickly eradicate every
line.—The Woman Beautiful. adv.

11.434 HORSES SHIPPED
VIA PITTSBURGH FOR WAR
Pittsburgh, Dec. 15.—Since the bel
ligerent nations of Europe began buy
ing war horses in this country, 11,434
horses have passed through Pittsburgh
on their way to Atlantic coast ports.
They occupied 519 cars and traveled on
fast freight schedules. That the agents
were not in a hurry, however, was
proved by the fact that, while the law
piovided a rest of five hours in Pitts
■burgh, horses were often kept here sev
eral days.
On such waits tihe animals were
branded with the mark of the country
to which they were consigned. The
first consignments were received here
Octoiber 14, and there are at present in
the stoCK yards several hundred horses,
which will ibe sent east this week. The
horses nre tihe finest that tlie French
and English agents were alble to troy.
Apparently there was no effort at con
cealment concerning their destination,
as they were in some instances con
signed to men with military titles.
350,000 RECEIVE CHARITY
One Out of Every Ten Persons in Chi
cago Are Aided
By Associated Press.
Chicago, Dec. 15. —One out of every
ten persons in Chicago received aid
from public charity, according to re
ports to-da(v of the retiring president
of the Board of County Commissioners.
The report states that during the cur
rent year partial or complete support
was given at public expense to 250,000
residents of Cook county. The total
population of the countv is approxi
mately 2,500,000. Of the 250,000
public charges, about 50,000 were
cared for in public institutions. Food,
clotJhing and fuel were given to 200,-
000 more.
These figures, it was pointed out, ex
clude the number of persons who ap
plied for aid from private charitable
organizations.
AN OPTICAL ENIGMA
Why Is It the Human Eye Sees Things
Right Side Up?
Just why we aire aiblc to see tliintis
Tight side lip is a mystery w'hi.h
science has not; yet been able to ex
plain.
We know that the human eve in
volves the Mime optical principles as a
camera. Owing to the fact that light
always travels in a straight line and
neveT in a curve, tlie rays which em
anate from any object within our
rarnge of vision have to descend and
•ascend in order to travel into the nar
row opening in flic eve which corre
siponds to the camera's lens.
These rays finally reach a point
where they intersect. Continuing on in
straight lines, the rotative position be
comes just the reverse of what they
were when they loft the object seen
Thus the image register on the retina
of your eye is topsyturvy, just as it is
on the photographic plate in a camera.
If you are looking at a house, for in
stance tihe image your eye pets will
show the chimneys down below, the
foundation walls up above, ami so on.
But the impression voivr brain gets
reveals the house right siile up unless
you happen to be afflicted with a rare
disorder, which results in everything
always appearing topsyturvy.
During the hifittitesimfailly short pe
riod required to flnwh tlho imaige seen
from the eye's retina to the brain all
the light ravs which created the image
are reassembled and put b®ek in their
proper places, so that, the brain sees
the object as it really is and not in the
topsyturvy form it was registered on
j the retina. Just, how this imrt.ic.le is
performed is w ; hat science would like
to find out.—New York American.
Taken at Her Word
A Bloomftold woman looked across
her lawn to where passerSby were
breaking off the blossoming twigs of
her favorite rpiince tree.
" We might as well cut the tree down
as let it stand for people to destroy,''
said she.
Half an hour later the tree lay on
the ground beside a little hatchet, -while
around behind the house the small boy
of the family was getting a switching
with one of the branches.
This teaches us that we should be
sure of our audience 'before we employ
'hyperbole in our speech.—Newark

AMUSEMENTS
At the Orpheum
Pretty Bessie Wynn, with her win
ning ways and winning self, came to t'he
Orpheum yesterday and simply took the
| house by storm. Everybody seemed so
glad to see this charming songstress

songs and then tried out a brand new

much she appreciated their applause.
'Miss Wynn's songs as of yore are orig

that caused ripples of comment among

effectiveness of its portrayal. Among
the scenes which have made lasting iwu
