SAYS he, Salzer's seeds not only grow
but they produce enormously. Had |
planted few acres more of his oats,
wheat, corn. potatoes, grass and clover
seeds, l would have had to double the

ply was as follows: La Freckla,
because it unmasked my own
face from a filthy mass of
freckles and gave me the beau

admired by the people of every
nation. Before | discovered
La Freckla | was a freckled
face individual disguised with
my own appearance. Today |
am the envy of every. woman
who looks at my skin.
La Freckla will remove any
case of freckles in existence and
leave the skin as transparent as
crystal. One or two applica-
tons removes tan and SUM-
burn. 1t takes from three to
nine days to destroy every
trace of freckles. 1t is the only
remedy known to the world
that does this. Nowis the time
to use La Freckla, as it strength

Individual man is nowadays so civ

of himself as responsible, and puts
down the whole of his faults to his
company He does not do so with his
virtues. AS commercial people would
say, he carries them to the credit side,
and when ne has many debts, throws
them upon the shoulders of Society.
Nor does this company own merely
a alimited liability. tits without bounds

so broad that it seems able to bear all
that is laid on it. 1t is very safe

it's share; and all public reasoners and

Smiths. The directories offer irrefra-
gable proof of this, howsoever dispu-
table they may be when it comes to
questions of population, and especially
of comparative populations. Johns
sons have been prolific set of fellows;
and, wherever they were, have obeyed
the scriptural injunction to increase
and multiply and fill the earth.
Whether they were Jahn's sons of the
Scandinavian peninsulas or JOhann's
sons of the tribes TeutOnic, or John
Bulls Johnsons, they are all of one
family, and here the varieties easily
blend into one common, universal
J JOhnson. There are, to be sure, the
Jensens sons of Jens-whO struggle
against the popular tide to keep their
distinctive spelling, but it is hard work,
and sooner or later they will have to
yield to the stubborn persistence of an
undiscriminating public that dubs them
Johnson. The JOhnsOns who came to
us from the English side and the John
sons who came from Norway and
Sweden and Denmark, and the JOhan-
sons of Germany, who become John
sons before they get their first papers,
have been combination too strong tor
:. the Smiths, who have been obliged to
drop to second place.
In other ways there is not the clear
supremacy of the JOhnsons. Both
.. names figure prominently in art, Ia
literature, war, prose and poetry, busi-
, ness and politics Mere numbers
count for nothing here, and no scales
have yet been invented by which merit
, can be weighed and the preponderance
of one or the other determined. Only
j. in the political arena have the John
sons one score more than the Smiths.
Each family has given us governors
and senators and representatives galore,
but the Johnsons have the distinction
e of having had president OF these
Il United States among them, dignity
d which no Smith has yet attained. we
6 call, in passing, the attention OF the
!. Smiths to this fact. They are still
e sufficiently numerous to put Smith
