gressive principles, once the voters
realize that the Garfield platform al

OPERATION TAKES
AWAY FUR GROWTH


A birthmark that covered one sid
of the face of Joseph Joyce, II yeais
old, with a shaggy fur has been al
most entirely removed by DIR. Alfred
Potter, of the Kings County Hospital
The mark bore a close resemblanc
to a dog. Through a difficult surgi

The ease of the boy has been one
of the most difficult on record and
because of the success of the opera
tion the physicians of the Kings
County Hospital believe that they have
solved the problem of disposing Of
ugly, iishguring birthmarks.
The Joyce boy lives in No. 32 State
street with his parents. A few weeks
before he was born his mother was
attacked by a vicious Newfoundland
dog and has never overcome her fear
of the animals. The boy when he
grew up was an unusually handsome
child, with the, exception of the fur
that hid the right side of his face.
Instead of wearing off, as the
mother had hoped. the hair on the
side of the boys face grew with his
years. 1t was of the thick texture OF
dogs fur, and the most courteous
thing about It was that II was shap-
ed in the form of dog.
The head of the animal was close to
the boys forehead and the other lines

mark which made him so conspicuous
could be eradicated and he consented
to submit to an operation. DIR. Potter

hospital, Who had had good results
in this branch of work, took charge
of the case three months ago.
His solution, to kill the growth Of
the fur and to remove the traces of
the mark was composed of carbon
dloxlde and snow. This was brought
to temperature 100 degrees below
zero and applied to the face.
"Take it away! 1t burns;' yelled
the boy as the frozen solution was
applied to his face. He was permit
ted to feel the tube to convince him
self that IL was frozen, but he made
the same outcry when the cold In
strument again touched his face. Fin
ally he became so violent that he had
to be strapped to the operating table
during each application.
After few months the treatment
brought results. The fur disappeared
and showed no signs OF new
growth; the natural down showed In
it's place. The marks under the SKIN
were blotted out and the race TOOK
on the same boyish flush that showed
in the other cheek.

ment too close to the temple and Is

Standpatism triumphs. There is no

Judson Harmon becomes the only
progressive candidate for governor.
This distinction has been given him
by the convention ct Columbus. The
issue Is made clearer, by the action

progress VS.. reaction. No friend of
the progressive movement can con-

the candidate of progress, Mr.. Har-

For Mr.. Harding let II be said that
in all probability he enters the race
for governor without any definite
pledges to handicap him. He fought
q straightforward battle for an honor
to which any man might properly
aspire. He Served the state acceptably

victory for Harding in November
would be triumph for the "let well

so many years.

other backward.

THE EVIL OF FALSE MODEsTY

Today we have methods of dispos.
ing OF sewage, though they are fal
from perfect in many instances. But
we have created another character OF
filth. We have made the body q
filthy thing. We have been chained
by prudery. We have been following
its dictates. Every child, when a
mere toddler, is taught to be asham-
ed of it's body and imbued with the
idea that the body is filthy and vul-
gar. Under such circumstances should
| IL cause comment that the body US
ually does become what we have men,
| tally pictured it? Can you expect
a beautiful body to develop, when the
mind Is reeking with the idea of
its nastiness? What sort of people
are we anyway, Picturing the human
form as vile thing, and then expect
ing 1t to develop all the strength and
capacity that it should normally pos
sess We have made for ourselves
mental picture of the body. This
picture is destructive to moral and
mental development, and to physical
well being. 1t connects vice and sin
and dissipation and immoralities of
the worst sort with every view of the
naked human form. Can we expect
to develop race of men and women
with such disgusting and enervating
thoughts going forth into the world
as true gold"? Can we not in real
ity expect to become the victims of
our own trap" that we have un-
knowingly set for the coming genera
tons? We have treated the body as
vulgar and vile, and it has become
vulgar and vile. We have associated
1t with immortality and dissipation
and 1t has become part of immoral
ity and dissipation; We have taken
the divine features of the human forI
and have branded them as nasty and
obscene. and they have become nasty
and obscene.
Is 1t not about time for us to; call |
a halt? Is 1t not time for the real |
men and the real women of this coun-
try to rise up in their power, and de-
mand the elimination Of this revolt
