Don't Hide Them With a Veil; Re-
move Them With the Othine
Prescription.

This prescription for the removal
of freckles was written by a promi-
nent physician and is usually so sue
cessful in removing freckles and CIV
ing a clear, beautiful complexion that
it is sold by druggists under guaran-
tee 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 few ap-
plications should show a wonderful
improvement, some of the lighter
freckles vanishing entirely.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength othine; it is this that
is sold on the money-back guarantee,

A smudge of smoke on the horizon,

ticework just above the sky line.
A battleship! United States battle
ship!
Why? Because United States battle
ships are the only ones that have
maSts of latticed steel tubing-towers
that look AS if they were meant to
train crimson rambler roses and hun
dred or more feet high.
Fighting tops are obsolete In the
United States navy. The men who oc-
cupy the nests at the top of the masts
nowadays are unarmed. Their sole
usefulness to the ship consists in find
ing the range for the gunners down be-
low.
The towers are made of the latticed
steel so they will remain upright al
though riddled with shots from an en-
emy's ship. Shells may pass through
the network of tubing until every
strand is severed and still the tower
will stand.
The old style steel masts with sim
gle support could be cut in two and
sent crashing to the deck with single
shot from the enemy's gun. The new
masts are used us wireless towers and
for searchlights and signal platforms
as well as for range finding.
The range finders. usually three men,
pass canvas belts around themselves in
action. Otherwise they might be thrown
far aboard by some sudden lurch. The
