stores having a separate union. The
statement concludes: I'm Justice TO the
fair-minded merchants who have
agreed to the closing, we think It no
more than right than to try and close
all stores on the street We. of course

had threatened a week ago to send
100000 American troops into Mexico
unless Villa and Carranza came to an

authorized TO threaten an American in
vasion- should harmony efforts fail.

YOU'LL GET RID OF

To do this get about two ounces

wet sponge-rub over the blackheads
briskly-wash the parts and you
will be surprised how the blackheads

are, simply dissolve and disappear,
leaving the parts without any mark
whatever Blackheads are simply
mixture Of dust and dirt and secre-
lions from the body that form in the
pores Of the skin. Pinching and
squeezing only cause irritation, make
large pores, and do not get the black
heads out after they become hard. The
powdered neroxin and the water simp-
" dissolve the blackheads so they
wash right out leaving the pores
free and clean and in their natural
condition Anyone troubled with these
