FRECKLES
Don't Hide Them With a Veil; Re-
move Them With the New Drug.

An eminent skin specialist recent
ly discovered a new drug, othine-
double strength, which is so uni
formly successful in removing
freckles and giving a clear, beauti-
full complexion that it is sold by w.
B. Eastman under an absolute guar
antee to refund the money if it fails.
Don't hide your freckles under a
veil; get an ounce of othine and re-
move them. Even the first nights
use will show a wonderful improve
ment, some of the lighter freckles
vanishing entirely. It is absolutely
harmless, and cannot injure the most
tender skin.
Be sure to ask w. B. Eastman for
the double strength othine; it is this
that is sold on the money back guar

THE FEW OR THE MANY.

II HE question is sometimes asked whether the
a chief object of organized industry is t. serve
few or the many. No one would perhaps admit
that the purpose Of society is to serve the
few, but many legislators act that very belief.
Serve the few and they will take care of the many
Big business believes in that doctrine. Big business
calls for efficiency. Men beyond certain age are
not wanted They are too slow. Throw them out
and get younger men. Abolish trade unions and
everything else that may tend to decrease profits.
Make all legislation that profits shall be high,
Destroy all attempts at progressive legislation.
What want is that which will increase profits.
That is the orthodox view with many. That is
the seen. But how about the unseen? In the
constant rush for profits, for aggrandzed wealth
what is to become of those who are thrown aside?
Who is going to support them; how arc they to
live? Who cares?
Happily the orthodox view will not prevail.
The sentiment is increasing that government and
industry concern not a few but the many. That
sentiment is behind what is called the progressive
movement in politics, movement that is witnessed
in all the countries of the world. The welfare of
the many should be the only standard.
When the many awake from their sumbers they
will help themselves. They will bring about a re-
form in politics They will not be content to see
a few men financing campaigns and directing
legislation. They will inquire into the question.
lney VIII WANT 10 KNOW the why's dnu WhSIelOiSS
of enormous fortunes. They will want TO know
by what legal rght-for thereis no moral right
such fortunes are justified They will dig at the
root of things. They will want to know why want
exists in the midst of plenty They will demand
of their legislators and of the directors of bus-
ness to make good" Those who do not this
coming do not read the signs of the times Never
was there more interest in social service than to-
day. Never were men more alive to the supreme
question that confronts the country-the more
equitable distribution of wealth. That is the only
kind OF making good" that will count, from the
point Of view Of the general welfare

PECULIAR AFTER EFFECTS
OF GRIP THIS YEAR
Leaves Kidneys In Weakened Condition

Leaves Kidneys In Weakened Condition
Doctors in all parts Of the country
have been kept busy with the cpl
demic of grip which has visited so
many homes. The symptoms of grip
this year are very distressing and
leave the system in a run down con-
dition, particularly the kidneys which
seem TO suffer most. as every victim
complains of lame back and urinary
troubles which should not be neg

as dreaded Bright's Disease. Local
druggists report a large sale on DR.

people say soon heals and strength
ems the kidneys after an attack of
grip. Swamp-Root is a great kidney,

an herbal compound, has gentle
healing effect on the kidneys. which

and denounces the malefactors of great wealth,
thereby teaching the doctrine that Morgan, Rookie
teller and Carnegie are responsible for the politi-
cal and economic evils of our times, his teaching
is essentially immoral and might lead to evils Of
which he does not dream. Remarks like Colonel
Roosevelts, if encouraged, must inevitably lead to
violence and disorder. We ought to call Morgan
and Rockefeller and Carnegie comrades for they
are doing more than any other three living men
for the cause of Socialism"
This may sound rather odd but DR.. Lunn has
a good idea of Socialism. The real Socialists have
warm spot for the trio mentioned above True,
their speakers denounce them as examples OF what
the capitalistic system produces, but the Social
lists believe that Comrades Carnegie and Morgan
and Rockefeller are showing how we'll it is to or
ganize the trusts and control industry. Let them
keep on creating trusts and concentrating wealth
and then the government will step in and take all
for the cooperative commonwealth say the Social
ists Glad hand for Morgan ct al.
But the Socialists will find that it will not be
so easy to appropriate Carnegie and the rest OF
course they don't like Colonel Roosevelt simply
because he has been trying to steer the ship of
public thought away from the Socalistic shoals.
The Socialists want the ship to rock and creak
in the capitalistic sea, the worse the storm, the
better, and hence they detest Colonel Roosevelt as
a pilot for he is guiding the ship into safer
channels.

long HOURS ON THE FARM.

THE DOVER SENTINEL thinks that one of the
\ potent reasons for the sons Of farmers and
farm laborers going to the cities is the condi-
fons OF labor on the farms The Sentinel saws:
Where is the man who long endure a
system that compels him TO be up at three or
four o'clock in the morning to feed the horses
and milk the cows, get breakfast and be in the
held by sunrise; drag through seven weary
hours until dinner, then at il again until sun
set; feed the horses, milk the COWS, eat sup
per az nine o'clock and then to bed, only to
be called before he really thinks he has been
asleep at all The farm hand gets discour-
aged with that sort Of life drifts to the town
IN search Of something easier and more con-
genial, where he finds system of ten hours
AZ wages more in conformity TO his needs.
The Sentinel admits that the picture may be
overdrawn in some instances, but adds that there
arc many farmers working on this plan. The trou-
bic is says the Sentinel long hours on the farms,
and il believes that if the farmers worked their
men only ten hours day, there would not be
20 much difficulty in keeping the men on the
farms
The Sentines view is, we believe, correct. The
st,ndpat farmer is the cause of his own troubles
Men will Aot endure on the farm long hours if
they can get suitable work with bigger
pay in the cities Talk about the beauties of farm

to the long hours and drudgery endured by him
when boy the farm.
Farmers who work their men, say fifteen hours
day, as The Sentinel intimates, have never stud
led the subject of the efficiency OF labor 1t is the
efficiency of labor, not the long hours that counts.
Ten hours of good labor is better than fifteen of
