lines.
Particularly strong were the refer

A course Of lectures which will be
given daily until Friday evening was in
augurated yesterday afternoon at Fifth

purpose is to teach Sunday school in
structors the proper method Of schooling
the young and old in matters Of religion
AT the close Of the lectures Friday even
ing, the Rev. DR.. J. NJ. Frost, of Nash
Vile. Tenn. secretary of the Sunday
school board, will award diplomas.
Yesterday afternoon at $3.50 o'clock, the
Rev. DIR. B. w. Stillman delivered a lee
ture on the Boy problem in which he
dWelt on the great number of boys who
leave Sunday school at an early age
and never return. This, he said, worked
a harmful effect on their morals. The
outline of the work to be done during the
week was given to the 400 persons pres
ent. There will be two lectures in the

Acting upon the letter issued from
Georgetown University by the Aloysius
Truth Society, addressed to Catholic and
non-Catholic pastors of Washington, and
to superintendents and principals of
schools and seminaries, many of the
Washington pulpits yesterday rang with
warnings against patronizing immoral
plays.
The tendency throughout all of the ut
terances indicated that the officers had
laid stress upon the fact that the man.
ayers of the Washington theaters were
warmly in sympathy with the movement
for clean plays, even to the extent of
giving active support so far as possible
to the plans of the society. Supporters
of the movement against immoral plays
declare that the sympathetic position of
the Washington leaders was made clear
in the vigorous statements issued by
L. Stoddard Taylor, of the BelascO; Fred
G. Berger, of the Columbia, and Miss
H. Winnifred De Witt. of Chase's.
Picked by Syndicate.
It has been explained that during the
regular theatrical season the local man
ayers have no choice as to the plays
which are to be presented at their re-
spective houses. These plays are Sc
plays for the entire country, and then
notify the theaters what shows have
been allotted to them.
Thus, it has been explained. while the
summer shows presented by stock COM
panies are always clean and deserving
of hearty support, it may happen that
the same house will have assigned to it
a play of questionable nature during the
regular season, this being due to the
fact that the stock company's plays are
selected by the manager of the local
playhouse.
At st. Martins Catholic Church. the
pastor, Rev. Eugene A. Hannah, de-
livered the sermon at the high mass, and
prefaced his discourse with a ringing
excoria ton of the theatrical syndicate,
with warm commendation of the atti-
tude taken by the local managers, and by
The Washington Herald.
The Herald" said Father Hannah. in
part, has established a claim to the
hearty support of every right-thinking
Christian. In spite of the fact that The
Herald is the youngest paper in Wash
ington, it is giving a continuous demon
stration of what a great city journal
should be. 1t stands for clean morals
and religious principles, and 1 would
like to know that every member of my
congregation patronized 1t.

How Wrinkles Are
Caused-And Removed
FrUm American Home.)

why did no one think of this be-
foreT' writes a clear thinking reader.
Wrinkles are caused by the skin be-
coming loose. Obviously the remedy is
to tighten the skin. Equally 1t is OBJ
vious that the only thing which will
tighten the skin is powerful astrin-
gent.
Now. 1t is well known that the only
powerful astringent which is abso-
1utely harmless, and beneficial as we'll
is pure powdered saxolite. obtainable
from any druggist. Dissolve one ounce
in half pint of witch hazefS Bathe
the face in 1t daily and-behold! The
result Is almost magical The Skin be-
comes hrm and smooth, the face feels
snug, comfortable and solid, instead of
loose and fiabby. Simple. isn't It? AS
asked-why did no one think OF II
before?
-One should be careful, however, to
use no other astringents than pure
saxolite, as the former do no good and
are really injurious more often than
not"
