An Unfailing Way
To Banish Hairs
(Beauty Notes)
Ugly hairy growths can be remov
ed in the privacy of your own home
if you get a small original package
of delatonc and mix into a paste
enough of the powder, and water to
cover the hairy surface. This should
be left on the skin- about 2 minutes,
then removed and the- skin washed
and every trace of hair will? have
vanished. No harm or inconvenience
can result from this treatment, but
be sure you buy real delatone.

IMMIGRATION
BUREAU WILL BE
REORGANIZED
Secretary Post Orders
Changes to Rid Department
of Many of Its "Undesir
able Influences."
Washington, Aug. 17. Reorgani
zation of the bureau of immigration
has been ordered by Assistant Sec
retary of Labor Post.
The action was taken, officials of
the department said today, because
of conditions indicating "utter dis
organization" of the bureau, both
here and in its field service.
Shorn of Authority.
First steps in the reorganization
were taken by Assistant Secretary
Post on July 21, when Commissioner
General of Immigration Caminetti
was shbrn of the authority he had
exercised of making recommenda
tions in appeal and warrant cases.
The department contended that only
the secretary of labor and the assist
ant secretary were empowered by
law to exercise judgment in such
casesiS I
On August 14 a memorandum was
prepared by Secretary Post inquir- j
ing into the "causes of and reme
dies for the disorganized conditions
in the bureau of immigration and its
consequent inefficiency." Certain
"undesirable" conditions prevailing
in the bureau were ordered remedied
immediately. These included, be
sides the enforcement of the decision
lafecting the transfer of judgment
over appeal ana warrant cases to tne
secretary or assistant secretary of
labor, "the excessive freedom of ac
cess to the immigration bureau dur
ing working hours of persons not of
ficially connected with the bureau."
Board Probes Bureau.
To insure the removal of those
"undesirable" conditions an advisory
committee was appointed io con
tinue the inquiry. It included Al
fred Hampton of the bureau of im
migration, H. B.. Collins of the so
licitor's department and Hugh Reid,
from the office of the assistant sec
retary "of. labor. Commissioner of
Immigration . Wallis, Ellis Island,
was here today, to confer with Mr.
Post relative to the readjustment of
conditions at the Port of New York.
During the war,. when immigration
was slack.' the personnel of the im
migration bureau at Ellis Island was
greatly depleted, officials explained,
and now that the tide' of immigra
tion has set in again the authorities
there find themselves greatly handi
capped. McGraw Wants Indictment

Mrs. Iversen Tells
How Cuticura Healed
Water Blisters
" I was troubled with little water
blisters on my band and face. They
formed a scaly surface
causing the skin to be red.
The blister then took the
form of sore eruptions

the itching and burning.
I could scarcely sleep, and
could not put my hands
in water unless I wore rubber gloves.
" I tried remedies but ' they did
not help. A friend asked me to try
Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I sent
for a free sample and was relieved.
I bought more, and when I bad used
three cakes of Cuticura Soap and two
boxes of Cuticura Ointment I was
healed." (Signed) Mrs. Kay Iversen,
