I FACE ALMOST COVERED WITH

Atchison. Kan.-"F'or Q number a
years I suffered very greatly from skin
eruption. Ny face was very red and
irritated, being almost covered with
pimples and blackhsads. The pimples
were scattered over my face. They
were fine rash with the exception Of
few large pimples on my forehead
and chin. My face burned and looked
red as If exposed to either heat or
cold. 1t was not only unsightly but
very uncomfortable. I tried several
remedies but couldn't get any relief.
I was recommended to use Cuticura
Soap and Cuticura Ointment.
II applied the Cuticura Ointment In
the evening, leaving it for about five
minutes, then washing It OF with
Cuticura Soap and hot water. I wash
ed with the Cuticura Soap and hot wa
ter also several times during the day.
After about four months Of this applt.
cation, my face was cleared OF the
pimples. I still use the Cuticuao

traditions which have come down to
them from the men Of bygone days.
Perhaps no more instructive object
lesson ever has been given to the
world than the four thousand miles Of
undefended boundary line from the
Atlantic to the Pacific. which bears
silent but eloquent testimony to the
mutual confidence and respect Of the
two nations. Time will shortly place
upon the brow Of each nation the lau-
rel Of one hundred years Of peace. It
matters not SO much as to the form
of the outward celebration, but let VI
hope that its full Significance may
sink deep into the hearts OF both ma

bowed and reverent heads, Offering
grateful thanks for the Divine blessing
Of peace, and earnest prayers that In

ceives Another Message
"some Are Quiet Spirits, Some Are

tim Of Titanic Dlsaster-com.
munlcation 10 Not Easy.

London.-"Those are together who
think together. Some are quiet spirits,
some are impetuous like myself"
This was one OF the messages
from the late w. T. Stead. which his
daughter, Miss Estelle w. Stead. de-
livered to q crowded gathering Of the
London Spiritualistic alliance In the
salon of the Royal Society Of British
America.
n Miss Stead, who explained that she
was neither q lecturer nor a public
speaker. made very promising debut
In both capacities. In proclatming
what spiritualism means to me-
she said the one fact that stood out
clearly was individual responsibility
and the unlimited power of self-de-
velopment In this life. while away
ahead lay long road OF development
for the soul. AS to the possibility Of
communion with those who had passed
over she was as certain of it as she
was Of anything.
For some the veil between was very
thin, and she herself had had some
OF the most splendid proofs Of anthem
tic messages. E,..
1t was sometimes very difficult. how
ever, to get into communication with
those beyond. Her father. in recent
message, said:
Would that you could see how rare
it is for clear direct spiritual inter
course to take place. see people
sitting in circles who are the victims
OF the lower spirits" t..sg
Her father, said Miss Stead. found it
difficult to communicate through her.
because her mind was apt to jump to
conclusions. but many messages had
come through others. In one Of them
he spoke of the horrors Of the battle
field and ''of all those hurried oyer
here untitled for the spiritual life.
They come in great bands and even
the archangels are powerless to raise
the spirit-it must grow Of itself.
VI In another message he spoke of
the narrowing scenes Witnessed by
him during the war. Some OF the
victims" he said, were higher than
others in the spiritual plane. but most
gravitated to the prison houses and
the darkness of the spheres" +
Il think. Miss Stead remarked.
that my father has found it more DIFF
fcult to get absolutely correct state
ments through than he had any idea
was the case when he was on this
side. Many things that we may have
taken to be correct then. feel now.
with the greater knowledge, he wishes
me to be careful about. He has since
told me that some of the earlier mes
sages were distorted because his emo
ton In getting back to earth condi-.
tions made it impossible for him to
hold the mediums brain, and his mes
sages were colored by the thoughts Of
the sitter. Just now am very in
terested In some messages have re-
ceiyed from America, for my father
has corroborated them In very won
derful manner. which did not think
possible"
These messages Miss Stead hopes to
make public later.
