A New Face Vithout
Surgical-Skin Peeling
- The surgical operation of face peeling
"s too radical, too severe. There's a better
vay of removing offensrve complexions
nd one that is entirely safe and rational.
Ordinary mercolized wax causes the devital
ized scarf skin to come off,- but gradually
and gently. Unile the surgical process, the
skin is not forcibly taken off in big pieces
air at once, but almost invisible flaky par
ticles are absorbed by the wax, and about
two weeks are required to complete the
'rahrfprnwtion. There's no pain, no dis
comfort, future renews complexions the same way,
shedding tiny cutaneous scales day by
flayr But deficient circulation, or other
abnormal condition, may interfere with the
shedding a "bad complexion" Tesults. Then
mercoUzed wax assists Nature by hasten
ing the removal of the aged, faded or dis
colored top skim TJius only the lively,
young, heslthy-hued skin is in evidence,
as in robust girlhood. This is why mercolized
wax produces the indescribable beauty of
, ever renewing youth. The wax is put on
at night like cold cream, and washed off
in the morning. You can procure it at any
druggist's ; an ounce is sufficient. Adv.
WAR WORK FIRST
WITH WOMEN OF
NATIONAL P. E. 0.
Devote First Session of Big
General Meeting in Omaha to
Consideration of Problems
of Interest to Nation.
War somberness was reflected in
the message of each speaker at the
supreme P. E. O. sisterhood conven-,
tion, whose only open meeting was tlfe
first sesion held at the Scottish Rite
cathedral, Tuesday night. The ab
sence of the supreme president, Mrs.
Helen M. Drake of Beatrice, who lay
ill in, her room at the Fonteivjjlle,
aroused much concern among the 400
delegates.
''To give up all social life which
avails us nothing, to discard wasteful
habits and conserve to the greatest
degree these should be P. E. O.
ideals while the war lasts." urged Miss
Margaret Durward of rort Collins,
Colo., first vice-president, who pre
sided in the absence of Mrs. Drake.
At its secret sessions, the convention
will plan P. E. O. war work.
Country Safe Within.
Mrs.W. G. Peterson of A"urora, past
supreme president and chairman for
the Nebraska Woman s Liberty Loan
committee, also spoke on P. E. O
and War Relief Service." Floral dec
orations and all expensive accompani
ments of, a big, national convention
were dispensed with and only Amer
ican flags and the flags of the allies
were used for decorating.
"Keep our country safe for democ
racy from within was the message
of Miss Edith Prouty of California.
also past supreme president. "Preach
ing the gospel and then breaking it
every day of our national life makes
the day of fraternity seem still fart
away," she said. Americanization of
the immigrant was especially empha
sized by Miss Prouty.
"There are great dangers which lurk
in the, fabric of our democracy. They
are restriction of imtiigration, hoard
ing of food for speculation, exploita
tion om men and women in labor, sac
rifice of young girls, exclusion of races
to whom missionaries are sent to con
vert to Christianity and the piling up
of enormous war profits by captains
of industry while the brunt of suffer
ing is born by common people."
"Our boys in khaki have received a
call. Every citizen of this country
has received a greater call," she
pointed out.
One of the seven organizers of P.
E. O., forty-eight years ago at Mount
Pleasant, la., Mrs. Mary Allen Staf
ford, was guest of honor at last night's
session. Mrs. Stafford gave the his
tory of the organization, whose big
gest work is recognized as done b,v
the educational fund of $50,000 loaned
to girls seeking an education, without
interest and without security. P. E.
O.'s are planning to make the educa
tional fund $100,000 before the next
supreme convention.

KEEN COMPETITION
FOR COMMISSIONS
Creighton University Cadets
Work Hard to Get Shoulder
Straps; Selections to Be
Made Soon.
Competitive drill for permanent ap
pointment to commissioned offices in
the Creighton University Cadet regi
ment will be held October 25 and 26.
Keen competition exists among the
sixty-odd students desirous of attain
ing commissions. They have been at
tending the officers' training school
conducted under the direction of
Commandant Shillington in prepara
tion for this event.
The reginent is rapidly being whip
ped into a semblance of a military
organization. Demerits are imposed
for conduct unbecoming a soldier and
a gentleman and can only be removed
by enforced marching of the tours of
punishment, a genteel expression of
what is known in the army as "walk
ing the bull ring. The cadets have
established guard mount, at the
Creighton foot ball games and have
already met with the approval of the
followers ot the blue and white bv
keeping the field and grounds clear of
the hundreds of urchins who flock to
the games and make themselves ob
jects of general disorder.
Commandant Shillington will give
the cadets a series of six lectures on
scout duty and field work preparatory
to a practical workout November 1.
On that day the whole organization
will depart bag and baggage into the
country, plentifully supplied with the
necessaries of lifeand the kitchen
paraphernalia wherewith to render
them palatable. "Somewhere near Fort
Crook the army will split into two
sections' and go in different directions.
An hour later each will endeavor to
discover the other, employing all the
advanced tactics of modern warfare
in ferreting out an erwmy.
