This Skin Peeler
In Great Demand
Since the discovery that niercolized wax
possesses remarkable absorbent powers
when applied to the skin, the demand for
it -as a complexion renewer has been tre
mendous. Drunitists in every section re
port sales as far exceeding those of any
thing similar they have ever had on their
shelves.
Ordinary mercolized wax gently peels
off the devitalised cuticle, in minute par
ticles, so that the user gradually loses her
old worn-out complexion, the more youth
ful under-skin taking its place. Cutane
ous eruptions, blotches, moth patches,
liver spots and freckles are of course re
moved at the same time. As the wax is
entirely harmless, and easy to use, women
all over the rountry are purchasing it in
original package and using it to quickly
rejuvenate their complexions. The wax
is applied tha same as cold cream, sl
owed to remain on over night, then
washed off with warm water.

call for volunteers be made by the
president to work the coal mines so
that people of the country might not
suffer because of the strike, and
asking that the communication be
forwarded to the president of the
United States, which was done.
Acting Governor Barrows later
received a communication signed
"Ex-Soldier" in which he charged
that Barrows had said that' the ex-
service men would act as striked
breaker.
Next .Election Threat.
The communication read;
"You're the guy who said ex-soldiers
would serve as strike breaking
scabs, eh. Will remember you next
election."
"It is evident," said the acting
governor, "that in forwarding the
communication from Broken Bow to
the president, as requested, I in
curred the enmity of this man, who
has not the courage to sign his
name and it is doubtful whether he
is even an 'ex-soldier' or n6t, as J
cannot understand how a man who
had worn the uniform of the United
States and fought in the trenches
could be so big a coward that he
was afraid to back up what he
might say by signing his name. This
is not a situation where the matter
of scabs can enter. It is a situation
which demands the loyal support
of every American citizen in backing
up the government in its efforts t
prevent suffering in this country, a
condition which must exist as long
as the coal mines are closed. In
years gone by I have shouldered the
shovel and pick in order that I
might secure food and fuel for my
family and I am not beyond doing
that very thing again if it is neces
sary in order that the, poor people
of the country can secure fuel to
keep them warm.

"I will ay, however, that I be
lieve that the ex-service men of the
country who were loyal to our in
stitutions in 1917-18 will be just as
loyal in 1919, and that the men who
went across the water to fight the
kaiser will fight just as hard to keep
the defenseless women and children
in fuel to keep them from suffering
through the cold winter before us
and that as" they fought 'for the
cause of American homes then they
will work for the cause of American

Club Organized by
University Students
Lincoln, Nov. 6. (Special.) A
"Wood for President" club was
started at the State university when
30 admirers of the general, all serv
ice men, met at a luncheon at the
Grand hotel.
Frank P. Corrick, in charge of the
Wood campaign in Nebraska, gave
a talk. The organization was
formed with R. S. Duntap, chair
man; G. -B. Graff secretary and an
executive committee composed o;
Frank W. Carpenter, Neil Chader
ton, F. H. Richards, jr., E. J. Yates,
E. J. Shoemaker and R Scott
"The Wood sentiment appears to
be strong in Nebraska," said Mr.
Corrick, "and very marked among
the service men who have returned
from overseas service. I am feeling
especially pleased over the fact that
we have three generations support
ing the candidacy of General Wood.
L. D. Richards of Fremont is an en
thusisatic supporter of the general,

FUEL SHORTAGE
GROWING ACUTE
IN MANY CITIES
Regional Director in Chi
cago ' Can :. Furnish .
No Plan to Relieve
Situation.
Lincoln, Nov. 6. (Special)
There appears to be little change
in the coal situation In Nebraska.
Messages are being received both at
the office of the governor and . the
State Railway commission indicat
ing that many towns are liable to
be out of coal and all other fuel
shortly. "
The State Railway commission
communicated with the regional au
ditor at Chicago who is supposed
to handle the situation in the west,
but got little satisfaction. He re
plied that Chief Garfield contends
that the handling of the coal trans
portation is purely an interstate mat
ter, and if it is, means that the rail
way commissions has no authority
or standing. The regional director
says he hopes that the commission
will do all that it can to help things
along. .
Convent Out of Coal.
It appears to be settled that it will
do little good to take the matter up
with the governor's office, for the
local station agent in the town
where the shortage occurs is the
representative of the regional direc
tor and lie is, supposed to receive
the complaints and take them up
with the regional director or the
official of his road who has the au
thority to handle coal matters.
NFather Jungles of Stuart, has
written the governor's office that
Jjis church, convent, school and sis-
ters nome is entirely oui oi coai
and wants to know what to do.
Yesterday the superintendent of
schools at Superior wired the gov
ernor's office that the schools, there
were nearly out of coal. The mat
ter was-at once called to the' atten
tion of Superintendent Holdrege of
the Burlington, who is looking after
the coal situation for that road and
he sent a communication . to the
governor asking for information as
to whether the coal was for the
schools, how many schools there
were in the town and the amount
needed each day. Anattempt to
reach the superintendent of the
schools was unsuccessful, word com
ing back that he was in Omaha as
were also all other members of the
school board.
State institutions, with the excep
tion of the penitentiary and ortho
pedic hospital, have coal on hand to
carry- them for a while. H. B.
Miles, who has the contract for
some of the institutions, conferred
with the board of control and said
that so far as he knew the institu
tions he was looking after would
not suffer for a time at leas't. At
the penitentiary, coal is being fur
nished a car at a time and up to
date this has been sufficient to keep
things going. At the state house
there is no fear of immediate short
age. Swindlers Get Money in

Promise Sensations in
Probe of Gotham Police
New York, Nov. 6. Investigation
of New York's police department,
with intimations that it might re
sult in sensational revelations of
an alliance with the underworld,
was ' begun by an extraordinary
grand jury. .
James E. Smith, an assistant of
District Attorney Swann, who con
ducted a series of spectacular raids
last winter to put an end to gam
bling and vice, was the chief witness.
He asserted, it was learned, that
he could show "graft trails" leading
from the police to the "gambling
ring" and the "vice trust."
'Smith delivered to the grand jur
ors his "police bluebook" naming
officers he asserts to have been
involved in corrupt practices. '
He is understood to have told
Foreman Almirall he had been so
hampered by the police in his ef
forts to break up gambling and vice
that he resorted to almost nightly
raids with his own forces.
Longer Latin Course
Is Urged by Chicago
University Teacher
Dr. C. E. Parmenter of the moT
em language department . of the
Chicago university spoke before the
Latin section yesterday afternoon.
Dr. Parmenter pointed out the
uselessncss of trying to teach pupils
a language in three years, saying
that they should be given at least
six years properly to learn a lan
guage. .
"No pupil should be allowed to
start a course in Latin or any other
language and at the completion of
two years drop the subject and take
ifp something else," he said. "As a
rtsulttrf'fhis pupils have a smatter
ing knowledge of every language,
and can read or speak none of
them."
Dr. Parmenter pointed out that
Latin is related to almost every for
eign language and should be taken
first, before starting in to learn
other languages.
"A pupil should be able to read
Latin fluently, and without the Jeast
hesitation, and care should be giyen
by the teacher to see tbat the pro
nunciation of each word is correct,"
he said. "There is too much variety
in the pronunciation of the Latin
language, in different schools, and
the time must come when each word
will be pronounced the same in all
parts of the country."

President of Econom
ice Body,
Miss Agnes Finigan, High School
of Commerce, Omaha, was elected
president of the home economics
section, Nebraska State Teachers'
association, for the coming year, at
the annual session yesterday after
noon in the city hall. Miss Viola
Foster of Peru, was elected secre
tary. "The Curse of fashions is that they
make us suspend judgment," said
Director George W. Eggers, of the
Chicago Art Institute, in a discus
sion of "SomeConsiderations in De
signing of Costumes." Mr. Eggers
illustrated with crayon the effect
of certain styles of 'coiffure on cer
tain types of faces, Light-colored
shoes make the feet look large, ane
long lines increase one's appearance
of height these well known facts
were brought out in a fresh and in
teresting manner.
Application of Art.
Asked about the relation of art in
the frame to industrial art, Mr. Eg
gers replied that they are really both
forms of applied art and both forms
of expression. "The art entering
into the design of a gown or build
ing must respond absolutely to the
purpose and mood characterizing the
gown and its use, just as the art
which goes into such a work as
Corot's 'Dance of the Nymphs' must
be an expression of the mood atid
spirit Tf the tiling the artist is try
ing to couvey. The Sistine Madon
na seems to be unapplied art. But
it was, in reality, art accessory to a
ceremony of worship, an altar piece,
a piece of decorative art in principle,
just as a hanging' in the doorway or
window.
'lVhen the father is out of "work
or the parents fight, it shows in the
health of the child," said Miss Mar
garet Fedde of the University of Ne
braska, who used charts to make
clear her point. In her opinion,
oleomargarine is all right if there
is plenty of milk in the diet. Gra
ham bread is a cheaper food than
white, considering its food value.
"There is no question," she declared,
but a warm noon lunch has a good
effect." Miss Fedde's most earnest
plea was in favor of carrying the
theory of school instruction into a
practical home application.

RESTORATION OF
FRENCH MINES TO
TAKE LONG TIME
German Commission Report
Says It Will Furnish Work
for Every Unemployed
Man In Country.
Berlin, Nov. 6. (By The Asso- s
ciated Press.) Work for all the un
employed in Germany for the next
eight years will be provided in re-
storing the ruined mines of northern
France, says Vorwaerts. This opin
ion is based on the report of the
German mining commission sent to
France recently to ascertain the ex
tent of the damage, and which has
just made public its findings.
"The task," says the newspaper,
"is so great that it is sufficient to
furnish work for every idle man in
Europe and for everyone else en
gaged in superfluous labor. The re
port shows the fallacy of the theory
that emigration of 10,000,000 to IS,- -
000,000 persons from Germany is an
economic necessity."
I he commission, in its .report,
said that the work of reconstruc
tion would have to be done from
"the ground up." The destruction
was pronounced "terrible." Most of
the mines have been "drowned," Jt
was said, and in rebuilding new
shafts they would have to be pro
tected against the inward pressure'
of water. The Germans declared it
was not easy to fix responsibility
for the destruction because it was
done by numerous groups of troops
and the records showing where each
military unit was located and at
what period were neither complete
nor available.
