No woman is immune to superfluous

to appear at any time. It is advisable
to always have some delatone powder
handy to use when the occasion arises. .
A paste is made wit hsore of the POW-

is carefully removed and the skin
washed. You will then find that your
skin is entirely free from hair or fuss.

pared by Mrs. E M. Barrett, director
of that department, announcement is
made that the importance of the can-
ning industry to the farmers and people
of Texas will be appreciated when it is
realised that during the first eight
months of last year they paid out to
the business interests of other States
not less than 446.OVO.OOO for canned
fruits and vegetables brought into the
Texas market.
"This represents, as far as the farmer
is concerned, an enormous direct tax
upon his money crop/’ said Commis-
sioner of Agriculture Fred W. Davis.
"It will be duly appreciated when the
farmer stops to reflect that, with little
extra labor or expense, he • uld have
raised all of these fruits and vegetables
and his wife and daughters, with as
little expense or labor, have canned or
preserved or pickled them, and kept the
466,000,000 al home. The home econ-
omics bureau of the Department of Ag-
riculture is now engaged in an active,
aggressive campaign to develop this in-
dustry.’’ __________
Texas Artists to Go Presented.
One of the chief events of tomorrow
will be the joint recital given at 4:16
o’clock at the Scottish Rite Cathedral
by Venlo Jones Bmith, soprano, and
Sarah Helen Littlejohn, pianist, under
the auspices of the Young People's
Auxiliary to the Austin Music Festival

Both musicians are Texas artists of
the highest rank and deserve to be
shown an appreciation by every one
here. Texas is coming to the front
with her artists and the people of Aus-
tin should feel as much pride in the
artists of the State as they do in those
of their own little city. The Music
Festival Asroclatlon is the first organl-
nation to come forth as a champion of
home artists in the presentation of
these two musiclans. This means the
encouragement of those who will be

If you wear an axed, di Motored or
weather-beaten complexion, * the most
sensible thing to do ia to remove It— ,
rather than Patch it over or "doctor
it with cosmetics. The only way to
really remove the complexion—aside
from resorting to an expensive and (
painful surgical operation—-Is by
means of ordinary mercolized wax.
Spread the wax over the face at night,
as you would cold eream; wash it off
in the morning. 'This gradually peels
off the lifeless and the half-dead outer
skin, In minute particles--gradually the
fresh young skin beneath beams forth.
Then you have a clear, velvety,
healthy-hued complexion such as no
unnatural method can possibly produce.
Freckles, blotches, pimples all surface
defects due to weather, ill-health or
the ravages of time, of course, disap-
pear with the discarded skin. Ask
the druggist for an ounce of mer-
colzed wax; you won't need mor^.
if you wear wrinkles or crowsfeet,
the best thing to do is to bathe your
face In a harmless lotion made by dis-
solving an ounce of powdered savolite
in a naif pint witch hazel. Nothing
else will so surely erase the unwelcome
lines.

Motion to Quash
Expected Thursday
Presentation of a motion to quash
ths indictments against Karl L. Druene-
dow. Tax Collector of Harris County,
charged with misapplication of public
funds, ia expected when the cases
against him are called in the Criminal
District Court tomorrow morning. All
the Tax Collector cases, including four
charges against Mr. Druesedow, four
against Lon Morgan. Tax Collector of
Johnson County, and seven against C
C. Quillin, former chief bookkeeper in
the Controller's Department, have been
set for call Thursday morning, but it
is understood the Druesedow cases will
be taken up first and that Mr. Druese-
dow will announce ready for trial.
Colonel J F. Wolters of Houston was
here today in connection with the
Druesedow cases. Judge Ike D. White
of Austin has been retained_as counsel
for Mr. Druesedow and may also rep-
resent Mr. Morgan when his cases come
up for trial. Worth 8. Ray is repre-
senting Mr. Quillin and several other
attorneys may come into the cases.
Two cases against Quillin, returned
by the Octcber grand jury, have been
set for March 29 and it is likely that
none of the nine cases against him win
be reached this week.

Rome lively passages are expected at
the next meeting of ths Austin school
board, for some of the local physicians
have discovered that their Interests are
compromised by one of the- board’s
rules. The rule in question provides
that if a igild is suspected of having
trachoma he shall furnish a certificate
from an oculist before being admitted
to school Now the physieians in ques-
tion hold that they are amply capable
of making the examination, and this
being ao, why should the child be sent
to an oculistt \ s
It is likely that the ocullsts will have
something to say in their own behalf.
The physicians rely largely upon the
fnct that the State health regulations
provide for a certificate from a physi-
cian. countersigned by the city health
officer. The school board dove not
think that in making its own rues it is
bound by the State regulation.

I opened all the windows wide,
I set my house In order there,
I loosed the string that bound to me
The little old gray wolf of care.
And wherefore were my windows
closed.
From God’s sweet sunshine and pure
And wherefore walked I in the wake
of it—the old gray wolf of care?
Most willfully I closed my doors.
My windows darkened to the light.
The old gray wolf and I within.
Without God’s air and sunshine
bright
Then one came knocking at my door,
“Come, open wide," he called to me,
And I, in bitterness and acorn.
Flung wide the door for him to see.
Then entered Dove into my house.
With sunshine and the heaven-born
air,
Out fled the darkness and the bloom,
And last, the old gray wolf of care.
— Frank Fair.

According to Postmaster Jefferson
Johnson, who is regarded as an author-
ity on agriculture, this part of the
country is not badly hurt yet by the
dry weather, but conditions are likely
to be serious unless there is a good
tain very soon.
The greatest danger, according to
Mr. Johnson, is that farmer* who have
planted com will grow discouraged over
the outlook for that crop and increaae
their cotton acreage. It would be a
calamity if the country should produce
a surplus of 2.000,000 or 4,000,000 bales
above what the world can buy. The
farmers would actually receive more
for a crop which fell under the world's
requirements.
Corn is needing rajn, however, right
now, and cotton can go three weeks or
more without suffering. In some cases
the stand of corn is thin. Not many
outs were sowed in this immediate sec.
tion, owing to weather conditions, but
where oats were sowed the crop has
been a failure Unless wheat gets rain
right away it, too, will suffer severely.
On the whole, however, conditions are
good at this minute, and the postmas-
ter would have everybody ait steady
and expect that the good thing they
pray for will come to pass.
