ALL MY PIMPLES GONE.
Girl Tells How a Bio!chy Skin Was
 Cleansed by a Simple Wash.

lieaHsed by Simple Wash.
 T was ashamed of my face, :" writes Miss Minnie Pickard of Altamahaw N. c. It was all full of pimples and scars, but after using D. D. D. Pre- scription can say that now there is no sign of that Eczema, and that was three years ago"
 D. D. D. has become so famous as cure and instant relief iu Ecs zema and all other serious skin diseases, that its value is some- times overlooked in clearing up rash, pimples, blackheads, and all other minor forms of skin impuri- ties.
 The fact is, that while D. D. D. IS so penetrating that 1t strikes to the very root of Eczema or any other serious trouble, the sooth- ing Oil of Wintergreen, Thymol and other ingredients are so care fully compounded there is no wash for the skin made that can compare with this grea. house hold remedy for every kind of skin trouble.
 D. D. D. is pleasant to use, per- fectly harmless to the most deli- cate skin, and absolutely reliable. A 25 cent bottle will give you positive proof of tho wonderful effectiveness of this great remedy.

Getting Voters To Vote.

Consistently good government is not possible unless the citizens vote. There is no other such fundamental need as that men shall exercise the right of suffrage.
 Unless some workable plan of com pulsory voting can be devised, the best way to get citizens to vote is to interest them in the elections. To interest them in the electisns, power must be in their hands, instead of in the hands of party machines and party bosses.
 In St. Louis, 172,000 names were registered lately for the next Novem- Der election. Every man in that city wants tovote on the prohibition question.
 There will not be any complaint about the people of that city not go- ing to the polls. They will all go because a question of vital interest has been put to the peoples decision by the peoples own power of initia- tive.
 No stronger argument favors com mission government, direct popular legislation, direct primaries, the .ecall etc, than that by placing pow CT and responsibility with the voters they get the voters to the polls.- K. c. Star.

The Lockesburg Enterprise still goes to it's readers with this nailed to it's flagstaff:

My little nephew, three years of age, did something for which his father said he should apologize to his sister. This the child passionate ly refused to do.
 After his father had commanded and pleaded and he still refused, his father spanked him. Still he would not apologize and was spanked the second time. Still he would not do as he was told.
 His father said. Howard, if you do not apologize to sister, papa will punish you again"

The Arabs Pride In His Horse.

Arabian horses need no praise.
Of the many beautiful stories told
of the Arabs that given in the we'll
known poem "Achmid and His
Mare surpasses all. Achmid had a
mare of wondrous speed and guard
ed her with jealous care. A robber
stole her, leaped upon her back and
shouted to Achmid to catch her if
he could. Achmid and his tribe
mounted and went in hot pursuit.
Suddenly the thought came to him,
"1f l overtake my mare she is then
outrun; she will lose her fame"
Shouting to the robber, "Quick,
pinch her earl" he revealed the Sc
cret sign his darling knew 30 well.
Achmid lost his mare, as he knew
he would, but her glory was secure.

He FOOLED HIMSELF.
His Latest Experience In Finding
Lost Property.

Twice Standish came neal get
ting into trouble because he picked
up lost property in the street. The
articles really were lost, and Stand
ish honestly found them, but he had
hard work to make anybody believe
it. After his second experience his
wife laid down a few rules for his
guidance.
eff you should find a million dol
lars piled up on the sidewalk she
said, you must just walk right
past and never offer to return one
of them to the owner"
GLOW about keeping a few
plunks for MYSELF" asked Stand
lsh.
Mrs. Standish did not smile. eff
that is the way you talked to other
people when they accused you of
theft" she said, 81 don't wonder
that everybody thought you were
guilty"
"Never mind" returned Stand
ish; cts all over now. | never ex-
pect to find anything again"
And he did not find anything for
six months. At last, however, he
saw an enamcled cigar case lying
in a bypath forth and back which
they were walking in Central park.
He stopped to pick it up. His wife
pulled him back.
"Don't." she cried. "Remember
what happened to you twice be-
fore"
Standish rubbed his cheek rue
fully. 81 hate like the mischief to
let it lie there" he said. eff l don't
pick it up somebody else will"
Every well, let them. If other
people choose to 60 to jail that is
their lookout"
1T is a fine cigar case, all the
same" Standish grumbled as they
walked on. at looks a good deal
like nine"
"That is all the more reason why
you should not NEEDLE. You have
no earthly use for two cigar cases
exactly alike"
Standish walked along in stub
born silence. When they neared
home he was seized with a sudden
craving for a smoke. He felt in one
pocket, then in another, for his
cigar case.
"Where, in the name of heaven
he began. Then his feet Jagged
heavily. Good Lord!" he said.
"That cigar case"-
"Dear me-" said Mrs. Standish,
'haven't you got over that yet ?
What about it now?"
"1t was NINE" Standish groaned.

Orluin Of Christeniru Ships.

The ceremony of christening ships
Is a survival Of a barbaric custom
when sacrifices were made to the
gods, and some living victim or offer
ing was held up and it's throat cut so
that the blood flowed over the prov
of the ship being launched. The yes
sci was baptized in warm blood. Now
sprinkling wine or pure water is used.
and the change has many advantages.
though the symbolism remains.
