One can hardly pick tip a paper
nowadays without lighting upon some
criticism of womren's dress and occas-
ionally it grows a; trifle tiresome. - It,
mai, be some consolation to know that
women's' -dress came in for criticism
whbn the styles were very different
from what they are now, The infollow

1 Stolen automobiles, sn*uggied into Canada with the connivance
of. Customs officials, were sold for a pittance to friends of the
King Government, and those found guilty were allowed not •
only to go unpunished, bit to continue their nefarious trade.
Smuggled liquor selling was engaged in cin a large scale by
.Customs officials whose duty it was to protect the Treasury.
42 Corrupt officials Were unpunished and' promoted ; honest
officials were punished and demoted.
Prison -made goods are" on ,the prohibited list, yet tons, and
A tons of suchgoods,produced in prisons where' contagious
diseases were prevalent among the inmates, were smuggled
into Canada for sale to innocent Canadian consumers, With
the direct knowledge and co -operation -of Government officials.
Police officers—members of the incorruptible Royal Canadian
Mounted—were withdrawn from the Quebec boundary line at
the request ofhe smuggling ring.. 'Honest -traders liad asked
for increased police protection, but the: King Government
preferred to grant the -request of those who were defrauding
the public revenue.
Guilty knowledge even in 1923 of the frauds that were being
practised has been proven against the King. Grovernnient
beyond the shadow of a doubt. Time and again, in 1924 and
1925, the Commercial Protective Association—an organization
of business men—placed before Mr: King irrefutable evidences
of it, that they had succeeded in tracing down' at" their own
expense. With his Government hopelessly entangled" with
Canada's criminal' element, Mr, . King .did not—dared :,not
take any action to remedy the appalling conditions. a0
Be A total -revenue loss estimated at $35,000,000 per year was the
result of - the smuggling thus condoned, by the King Govern-
ment.
R. A $54,800 loss was sustained in one case alone when Mr.
Cardin, Acting Minister of Customs and Excise, settled for
$3,1.90 with a dishonest importer, who, according to Mr,
Cardin's own officials, had cheated the Treasury but of duties
amounting to $58,000. This deal was consummated just
previous to the last election.
Free.liquoi, from Government warehouses in Montreal, was
supplied in generous quantities to members of the King Gov-
ernment and to Government officials in Ottawa, in contra-
vention both of the Federal Law and the Prohibition Law of
'Ontario.r
The habit-forming drug traffic is one of the worst curses in
the world today. Underthe protection of the King Govern-
ment, Montreal became one of the great dope -distributing
centres of North America:
The peak of this Corruption, and of this interference with the
15 Customs collection and the administration of justice, is proven
by the evidence to .have been reached just prior to the general
election, of October, 1925, when, at the written request. of'
Liberal candidates, Ministers of the Crown called off the
Royal Canadian Mounted Police because they were enforcing
the law, kept convicted crooks out of jail, and, sanctioned
Treasury frauds as a means of securing the return of -the King
Government to power.

.The following is a treatment for an.
oily skin, whiph has been -found very
effective;
"First wash the face and neck with
a pure mild soap and warm water, to
remove the surface dirt. Next dip
your, fingers into a jar of good Vold
cream and rub' the cream thoroughly
into the skin with. little circular move-
ments of the fingertips working from
the chin upwards, Do not rub hard
enough te'stretch or pull the skin, but
just hard enoegh to work the .cream
well into the pores.
It May Seem strange 'advise to use
t cold cream on a skin that is already
too :oily, but in an oily skin the pores
are usually Large and relaxed. The oil
is not all thrown out on the surface.
Some of it stays in the pores, collects
dust and dirl;'and hardens. This is
the cause of blackheads Soap has lit-
tle effect on this hardened: oil, but the' -
delicate oil in cold. cream sinks into
the pores, softens and loosens their
contents, and is then wiped away,
bringing all these clogging wastes
with it. So, yoit see, Bold cream is an
important part ofthe care ofan oily -
skin..
Now with a soft cloth ox the cleans-
ing tissue ivhich is so nice for the pur-
pose, wipe away.• the cold cream. If
any-blackheacls are visible, cover the
forefingers with a thickness of clean
cloth (an old handkerchief is hest for
the purpose), so that the nail will not
break the skin,, and very gently press
ahem out. Wrap a small piece of ice
in one thickness of cheesecloth or an
old handkerchief, and go lightly over
the face. Don't let the ice rest in one r,
spot, but keep it moving :briskly until
the skin is pink and tingling. If you • •
can not get ice, dip your wash -cloth in
the coldest water you can get and hold.
it against the face. Lastly, moisten a
small piece of absorbent cotton with
ordinary wish -hazel and 'pat it all
over the face' for -two or three min-
utes. Wieh-hazel is a splendid as-
tringent and helps to close the pores
and tone up the skin and facial inns,'
cies. This' completes the nightly
treatment:
In the morning it is only necessary
to .dash cold water on the face until
the skin feels thoroughly waked up
and -your ;cheeks glow. If you -use face
powder, you will find that it goes on
more smoothly and stays on better if
you use a little vanishing cream on
the skin first. Vanishing creams con•
tails no oil. They merely- form o
a slight, invisible film that takes
away shine and holds the pyo ddeer.
