VS.. VIM. Bolts, etc, now pend
ing in the Court of Appeals, and

Turn Them Out

In the fight several members
Of Congress are preparing to
make, to take the Assistant Post
masters out OF the protection of
the civil service law, they have
our hearty endorsement and good
wishes for their success and if
the newspapers are correct in
their statements that the Presi-
dent is opposed to such a course,
we feel, with all due respect, that
he is making a serious political
blunder.
The Democratic party was VIC
torious at the last Presidential
election and for our part we
think only those in harmony with
the principles OF that party should
be in Office, while that party is
in power. We know of no better
way to express our views than
10 quote from recent speech Of
Congressman Rouse OF Kentucky
when he said: Il believe when
an administration changes men
should be appointed to Office who
believe with the administration
and are in accord with its poll
cies. You cannot have frst-class
service when the principal and
assistant entertain different views
and do not work in harmony and
for the interest of the party
which is in power"

Rev. Bruce w. Trimble, Rev.

from this county, were in Frank

The case was submitted to the

tribunal in the state.

FACES WITH pIMPLEs.


Pimples are almost always a re
suit Of acne, that dishguring dis
ease Of the sebaceous glands which
manifests itself so often in black
heads.
The skin is full Of minute glands
which discharge an oily substance
through tiny pores. Certain inter
nal secretions which become active
at the age called puberty stimulate
the sebaceous glands to extra ac-
tivity. and overindulgence in sugar
starch and fat contributes. The orr
fees of the overcharged pores are
attacked by a microbe called the
Bacillus acnes, which Iiberates tox-
in that causes the outer LAYER of the
skin to try. TO encyst it with sue
cessive LAYERS OF cells. These, with
the oily secretion Of the glands,
form in the pores plugs, which are
called comedones and which when
darkened by dirt from the outside
become blackheads.
The skin is now a fertile soil for
pimpie production. a certain pus
forming germ called Staphylococcus
alba enters the mouth of the fol-
icle and soon surrounds the corlcdo
with lake of pus. This is now a
pimple, the core of which is moth
ing but the comedo.
In an address before the John
Morgan society Of the University
Of Pennsylvania DR.. Penn G. Skill
ern gave the following instructions
for curing bad cases of pustular
acne or pimples: Correct all errors
of digestion; see that the teeth and
mouth are in perfect order; per-
suade the patient to chew thor
oughly; stop eating sugar. starchy
and fatty foods. cutting out all
fried food, candy and pastry; cor
rect anaemia by open air exercise
and proper diet. If possible have a
few exposures to y ray treatment;
squeeze out every comedo, puncture
each pustule; swab with phenol
three parts, camphor two parts
Use a good boric acid soap with
tepid water at least twice a day.
and at night apply lotto alba, rub
bling it in well. DR.. Skillern also
urges the use of a properly pre-
pared vaccine made from the pa
tient herself.
The treatment calls for patience,
but will clear the most pimply face
if persisted in.-New York World.

WILL BE PROSECUTED

While working on a pipe line in
this county two Italian laborers
gave the fourteen-year-old son of
Matt Williamson large bottle
of whisky, part of which the
child drank and came near dying,
two physicians working with him
for hours to save his life. The
Italians were arrested by Sheriff
Harry Howell and Deputy Mont
joy and placed in Jail. 1t is the
first instance in years where a
man has been arrested here for
giving whisky to a minor in the
county, but the Italians will be
vigorously prosecuted.

MORE LIKE HIM NEEDED

1t would be a rash prophet
that would predict that the end
ing of not a few abuses will be
the outcome of the investigation
into the administration of insti.
tutions supported in whole OF II
part by appropriations from the
State on which the General As
sembly has now embarked with
such flourish of trumphets. Al
the same time, sight is not to
be lost of the fact that the in
centive that has led to the be-
ginning of this needed undertak
ing has been supplied by the
fearless manner in which Sher-
man Goodpaster, the State In
spector and Examiner, has per
formed his duty as he saw it.
1t will not do to say that all
of Mr.. Coodpaster's findings and
conclusions will be borne out by
an investigation, even though
con Quoted in the same spirit
that characterizes his reports.
Some of the discrepancies to
which he directs attention may
be capable of explanation. But
one thing is sure, if the Legisla-
tive Committee performs its
duty in the same spirit that has
prompted Mr.. Goodpaster, the
not inconsiderable number of
abuses that unquestionably have
grown up by reason of the here
tofors lax system of supervision
on the part of the General AS
sembly and the State will, for
the time being, be checked.
Eradicated they will not be, un-
less strict supervision is made
permanent and a uniform sys-
tenn of accounting is substitut-
ed for the present happy-go-
lucky pan of turning loose the
States money and leaving its
recipients to dispose of it as
their own sweet will dictates.

may we'll be wished that Ken
lucky had more officials who ap-

Growth of Pity.

No one formerly looked on with
any pity or even horror at punish
ments which are now found too
dreadful for description. Men were
broken on the wheel. were burned
AT the stake, were racked, were cut
up alive. No one seems to have felt
any pity for their agonies. Men
were put into noisome prisons,
where, with bad air and insufficient
food, they died unnoticed and /un-
pitied. 1t is very different now
Human hearts are more tender.

LOOKS LIKE RAISE
FOR RURAL CARRIERS

Rural carriers may be pardon
ed if they felicitate among Them
selves over the splendid prospect
for securing an increase in salary.
The house committee of post
offices and postcards, in its ex-
ecutive sessions has decided up
on an increase of salary for these
public servants, the details of
which will be made public when
the bill is reported to the house.
1t is known, however, that the
increase is substantial, amount
ing in the case of a standard
route to about fifty dollars year
and on other routes in proper
ton. The theory upon which
the increase is to be granted is
that the establishment and sub
sequent enlargement of the par
eel post has imposed upon the
rural carriers a burden which
they never anticipated. The to-
tai amount of the increase spread
over the country at large, will
be about $2,2oo,ooo per annum.
Rural carriers are obliged to fur
nish their own wagons and it
was represented to the commit
tee that in many instances the
great volume of bulky parcel
post mail will make it necessary
for the carriers to go to the ex-
pense of providing themselves
with larger vehicles.

The storm has begun at last.
The winds which had been
gathering force for five long
months, burst forth in all their
fury. The poor wayfayers, who
were caught in their mad grasp
were hurried swiftly along and
hurled onto the stony cliffs, but
those who had foreseen the COM
ing storm and had made prepar-
atoms to withstand Its fearful
blasts, were at least safe for a
time. For five long days has it
ragged around the Old Mt. Sterl-
ing School Building and for FIVE
long days have the defenders
kept their ground. Now all is
silent, the Jury OF the storm mas
abated, but in its stead reigns a
deathlike silence far more dread
full. 1t is a time of waiting; a
time of fear; time of dread ;;
dread lest the old enemy, strong

carry them captive to lower and
more detestable regions. 1t is

news story of the day and Mr.. Mank
couldn't allow such a golden oppor-
tunity to go by without connecting
one of the billiard stars in some way
or other with the big Battle" across
the seas. So he picks out none other
than Koji Yamada, the Japanese ex-
pert, as the hero of his yarn.
"Koji Yamada, the champion Jap

Monday on the Potsdam, which sailed
from Rotterdam September 7. This
will be in ample time for him to be-
gin his engagements as a member OF
the Champion Billiard Players
League. For weeks goes on Mr..
Mank, "the friends of the famous
young Jap were anxious for his safe
ty. and the efforts of the japanese
consul general in Manhattan Taxa

cate him. The first word from the
refugee was a delayed cable Which
came early this week. 1t read:

Koji Yamada. This message was un-

President Mank is also in receipt
of letter from Yamada from Am
sterdam. 1t reads as follows:

to leave here about September : for

so it is very difficult to go to Ameri-

"Yamada's escape from Germany
was made the more difficult" Presi-
dent Mank says. after Japan de-
clared war on the kaiser. The fact
that it took Yamada more than four
weeks to make his way from Berlin
to Amsterdam is proof of the many
difficulties which he must have met
and the hardships which he certain
