WHAT CAUSES FRECKLES, AND
HOW THEY MAY BE COM
PLETELY REMOVED.
Wilson's FreCkle Cream Does the
Work or Your Money
Refunded.

The medical profession tell us that
freckles are caused by a deposit Of
pigment in numerous small areas, al
though the actual reason for these de.
posts having formed has never been
discovered. The old fallacy, one
freckled, always freckled, has nj
held true since the discovery of Will
sons Freckle Cream.
Miss Lucille Scott, of Scotia, S. G..
recently wrote US as follows: Il have
used many things to get rid of my
freckles, but l have never found any
thing SO good as Wilson's Freckle
Cream. l cannot say enough for it.
This is mild face bleach, and is
positively guaranteed to cure freckles
pinples and blackheads. 1t leaves the
skin smooth and soft as velvet, i'm
parting a healthful glow and youthful
radience.
The first jar of Wilson's Freckle
J Cream will cause your freckles to pei
,ceptibly fade, and the second jar will
entirely remove them. Should it fail
to do so, your druggist is authorized
to return you your money. If he can

This man SPANKS HIS WIFE
ONCE A WEEK REGULARLY

Philadelphia, Sept. 26.-When a hus-
band forms the habit of spanking his
wife, it is not easy to induce him to
change his way. OF this Mrs. Mabel
Parker of 5311 Market street is firmly
convinced. Before breakfast she had
her husband, George Parker, a meat
dealer, arrested for having spanked
her, but when he was arraigned before
Magistrate Beaton in the city hall po-
lice court few hours later she an
.nounced that she did not want him sent
to jail He was discharged.
There is only one way to get George
to do thing" said Mrs. Baker. in
admitting that the court proceedings
We're not an entire success, land that is
to have him to make up his own mind
to do it."
While she is not yet on speaking
terms with her husband, Mrs. Baker
seemed cheerfully certain that the ex-
listing strained relations will end. She
also looked forward to more spank
lngs. When We make up" she said,
1T will be useless to ask George to
sign a pledge to spank me no more. He
wouldn't make any such promise and
wouldn't even apologize for any of the
spankings in the past. He is not the
kind OF man who apologies. In fact,
I've never heard him say he was sorry
for anything he ever did.
We have been married about two
ears and half. He commenced spank
ing me two weeks after our wedding
day, and has kept it up almost weekly
ever since.He has temper and so have

arily low, filling out any lining neceS-
stiles with chiffon.
And speaking of Innings, some of
these new TUNES are lined throughout
which gives them greater durability
and at the same time adds to the color
scheme.
One of this type is of emerald green
net, beaded in several tones and made
over chiffon in the ne Wight brown.
This sounds like a startling color
scheme, but it is mild compared with
many of the new offerings. One gorg-
eous affair is of a deep cerise, almost
ruby, with richly, heavy embroidery in
the sapphire blue. Other colors appear
but these are the ones that hold the
eye.
An exquisite affair from Paquin
shows the loveliest white, green and
gold beads on a tunic of white net. An
other with the stamp of Pequin favor is
in light green net, with gold beads and
bugles in white satin effect. 1t is
slashed and has two long sash ends at
the back. price, $140)
While some of the tunics are in del
icate colors, there's barbaric look to
most of them and some depth of color.

He was gOod-natured about it, al
though he bore mark for two weeks,

Apart from his quick temper and his
determination to spank me every time

There is nothing in the world he would
not do for me or give me.

PROHIS CLAIM STATE
IS GOING FOR Pope
viii Line Up S0IidIy Behind
Dry Brown

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 26.-There is
nothing to be heard in the state capital
these days but talk of the gubernator-
ial race, and from present indications
the dry side insists that Georgia is
going to landslide for the man who
carries the standard of the prohibition
forces, Col. J. Pope Brown.
1t was stated authoratively here
that the prohibitionists of the state Will
line up solidily for Pope Brown, and
that at least seventy-five per cent of
the Baptists will unite their forces IN
der the prohibition standard.
In addition, large percentage from
other religious denominations in GeOr-
gia will lend their support to the fight
against the liquor interests.
Prohibitionists of the state do not
expect that any other candidate will
make the race on the prohibition plat
form, and look for the withdrawal Of
Dr. L. G. Hartman, who has already
been mentioned as a probable candi-
date
1t is the expectation of the Pope
Brown contingent that their candidate
will receive the full endorsement of the
Georgia Anti-Saloon League as soon as
DR.. Hardman shall have announced his
formal withdrawal.
ex-governor Joe Brown will not.
according to those who claim to know.
take away as many of the Judge Russell
votes as at first thought, and his
friends are disposed to think that Lit
tie Joe" made big mistake in entering
the race at all.
1t is the understanding that the rail-
roads, which were active for Joe Brown
in his previous contests, will not assist
in the financing of his coming cam
paign,and that they will not actively in-
trest themselves in his election, either
by putting up any money or by urging
employees in his behalf. There is a
strong belief in political circles that
Joe Brown will prove a rank outsider
in the running, as the lines have al
ready been drawn between Pope Brown
and Judge Russell.
Many ministers of the state are out
spoken against the candidacy of Judge
Russell, and will, it is believed, come
out tiat-footed for Pope Brown and
prohibition in their pulpits. The en-
dorsement of Pope Brown by the tray
cling men of the state has proved a
keen disappointment to Judge Russell
who expected their support.
1t is said that the action of ex-Gov-
ernor Joe Brown nallowing the en-
emies of democracy to use his name 20
fight the regular nominee last year has
weakened him. w. G. Upshaw, who
has just returned from a trip through
outh Georgia and other sections of the
state, reports a strong sentiment in

In a refined American home in a
small city few years ago much en-

unmarried grownup sons and their
one sister. A real Christmas tree was
purchased, and the women folk trim
