. 4 Must Receive Seven Cents
For Rides From Public
Hereafter.
From a Staff Correspondent. -
Lincoln,' Sept. 9. (Special- Tele
gram.) Changing their application
for a raise from S cents to 6 cents in
the former application to a further
, raise to 7 cents, the Omaha & Council
Bluffs Street Railway company ap
peared before the Nebraska State
Railway commission this afternoon
and set forth that because of a raise
in the wages of its men and a further
raise required, it will be necessary
that the income of the company shall
be increased.
A showing was made by the com
pany that even with the intrease to
7 cents the company will then fall
$400,000 short of sufficient to pay op
erating 'expenses because of the in
crease in the cost of labor and ma
terial. The afternoon"' was spent in
the' introduction of records and the
hearing was then adjourned until 9
o'clock tomorrow morning.
Chairman T. L. Hall is the ony

Face Peeling Easy
Blonde or Brunette
"The blonde's complexion fades early, be
cause her skin is extraordinarily thin and
fine," says Mme. Lina Cavalieri. "The brun
ette's, as a rule, is the reverse. The skin
is thicker and has a tendency to an oily ap
pearance." For either the faded blonde's skin or the
brunette's oily or sallow complexion, the
best remedy is ordinary mercolixed wax.
Used every night, this will give one an en
tirely new complexion within about a week's
time. The wax gradually peels off the
worn-out surface skin, jvith all its defects,
a little each day, without affecting the deli
cate underskin in the least. The latter will
have the exquisitely beautiful glow of youth
indeed, one may readily lose ten nr fifteen
years from her age. so far as appearance
I goes, by a course of this simple treatment.
' The wax. procurable at any drug store, is
applied like cold cream. Adv.
