For Greasy skins.

A greasy. shiny skin is one OF the
lis to which many Of US are liable.
One can never manage to look nice
with a shiny nose and greasy skin
Don't think that by simply smothering
the face all over with powder you will
cure this trouble. Try instead this
plan: Add u teaspoonful Of cloudy am
monia to the water in which you wash.
This has a very drying effect upon the
skin-not too drying, be it said, but it
serves to counteract the excessive &C
ton Of the pores. Before going out
dust a very little powder over your
face, but don't dab It on indiscrimi-
nately. If you continue putting am
monia in your washing water all
through the summer you will find that
your skin will lose its tendency to
greasiness in due course.

THE LADIES OF THE CITY FEDORA
TON OF CoLoRED WoNEN's
CLUBS HAVE FORWARDED THE
FOLLOWING LETTER TO THE
EXECUTIVE BOARD OF PRoVI-
DENT HOSPITAL
Chicago, Oct. 20, 1914.
To the Executive Board of Provident
Hospital,
Chicago, Illinois.
Gentlemen:-The City Federation of
Colored Women's Clubs gathered in
JOhnson's Hall this afternoon for the
opening reception to the State and Ma.
tional officers. This Federation is com.
posed of fifty women's clubs, in and
around the city of Chicago. Over five
hundred women were present today and
unanimously endorsed the following res
olution which was submitted to them
and ordered that the same be sent to
your honorable body:
Whereas, We learn that the announce
ment published in the Chicago Defender
Saturday, October 10th, regarding the
appointment of Miss Lula Warlick as
superintendent of the Nurses Training
School Of Provident Hospital is a mis-
take and that Miss Warliek is simply
holding the place. temporarily. The
news of her appointment had so stimu-
lated the race pride of our women, that
already our clubs have resolved to do
more than ever in furthering the great
work already accomplished by the hos
pital. Our disappointment and regret
Is keen when we learn that this election
has not taken place. We feel that the
time has come when we as women
should demand an appointment of a
woman of our race to be superintendent
over the ColOred girls and thus give our
worthy young women the opportunity to
secure experience and develop exeeu-
tive ability in their own institution.
which is denied them everywhere else.
Therefore be it,
Resolved, That we the City Fedora
ton Of Colored Women's Clubs unaui-
mously demand that the Board signify
ats faith in the ability of the COlored
girls it has graduated from the Nurses
Training School, by permanently ap-
pointing one Of thom or eleeting the
present temporary incumbent to be
superintendent of the Nurses Training
School. When this is done we pledge
ourselves TO renew our efforts to assist
the hospital in its great work.

John b. Taylor who was elected state
representative in 1912 as one of the
nominees of the Progressive party, is
again seeking the election to the state
legislature from the first senatorial dis
triet and many people residing in it,
regardless of their party politics, will
vote for him on election day Tuesday,
November 3.
As a representative Mr.. Taylor feels
that he will be able to make good dur
ing his second term as a member of the
Legislature, more so than during his
first term. For it can be truly said in
his favor that no boss or party can
control him except the people residing
in his own district.
1t is they and no one else that he
will permit to dictate to him in any
way.
His past record shows clearly that his
first and last duty is to his eonsti-
tuents, that he will not vote upon any
issue unless it meets with the approval
of the people residing in the first sena-
torial district.
Mr.. Taylor is successfully engaged in
the insurance business at Us Jackson
Boulevard and resides at lis E. 18th
street. The Legisltive Voters League
in its report October 16 states, that
|'he is the best of the house nominees
in that district and should be elected
