the treatment which teems most sensible
is- one which will actually remove the skin
itself immediately it begins to age, fade,
coarsen or discolor. The only known treat
ment which will do this, aside from a pain
ful, expensive surgical operation, is the ap
plication of ordinary mercoliied wax, which
it as harmless aa it is effective.
The wax is put on at night, just as you
apply cold cream, and washed off in the
morning. It absorbs the dead and half
dead surface skin in almost invisible flaky
particles, a little each day. no discomfort
being experienced. With the disappearance
of the old cuticle, the newer, healthier skin
underneath gradually appears, richly beau

Manufacturers Urge
Omaha German Press
Suspend Publication
The Omaha Manfacturers' associa
tion, at a meeting Friday, passed
resolutions urging the suspension of
publication of German language
newspapers in Nebraska during the
period of the war. The resolution al
so asked the Foreign Langtkge Press,
Inc., to dissolve and that the papers
belonging to it secure advertising
through the usual business channels.
This association is composed of
Swedish, Danish. Polish, Bohemian,
Italian and German papers.
The Manufacturers' association also
discussed the problem of securing
houses for the-war workers who are
needed In Omaha industry at the
present time. While there are plenty
of houses and rooms in Omaha it is
believed that the construction of large
dormitories where the girls would be
under some sort of supervision and
where the prices for rent and board
would be low, might be a good plan.
The Ford plant at Sixteenth and
Cuming street's, was mentioned as a
building that it might be possible to
secure for this purpose.
W. J, Monahan. R: L. Wilder, Ross
Towle and Roy Byrne were appointed
a committee to investigate and report
on the situation.
