FEARFUL HUMOR
COVERED Face
RESINOL CURED

Paterson, N. J., Dec. 0, 1913: "About
, year ago my face began to crack and
get scaly in blotches. 1t soon got
worse and my face was all spotted and
rough, and it itched me very much at
night, and caused me no end of discom.
fort. After month or so, pimples and
blackheads began to show, first in small
numbers and then gradually covering
my entire face. 1t was awful. The
pimples were sore and the rash was
itchy and my face had most un-
slightly appearance. / could get no
relief. Resinol Soap and Resinol Oint-
ment caused me instant relief. By the
time another jar of Resfnol Ointment
and cake of Resinol Soap were gone,
/ can truthfully say that it was COM
plete cure. Ny face had assumed its
former color and looks, due to Resinol
Soap and Resinol Ointment. They are,
! think, the best for any skin trouble"

Appeal to Americas Good Sense.

Appointed by the Federal Council OF
the Churches of Christ in America, to
study the relations Of Japan and the
United States, the Commission on Re-
lations with japan after nearly
| years investigation, has embodied Its
conclusions in a brief statement and
resolution suggesting to Congress and
the people of the United States the
| importance of an Oriental policy based
upon a just and equitable regard for
| the interests of all the nations con-
cerned. Without going farther into
| the subject it may be safely assume7
| that such a policy would cost less
than preparedness" like unto the
lingo desire, and would obviate any
probability of the need of arms.
Following is a copy of the resolu-
ton which has been sent to the Presi-
dent and to each member of Congress:
The awakening of Asia and her
rapid acquisition of important ele-
ments of occidental civilization inaus-
urates a new era in world-history IN
which Asia is to play new and IN
creasingly important role. Whether
that role shall be one of peace, Sooa
will and mutual cooperation, or onS
controlled by increasing suspicion anu
fear between the East and the West
will depend largely on the attitude OF
the western nations themselves.
1t has seemed to many of our citl-
zens who have become familiar with
the questions raised by this more inti-
mate and ever increasing contact Win
the orient that the United States
might we'll adopt a more adequate
Oriental policy. Therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Commission on
Relations with Japan appointed by tne
Federal Council of the Churches Oh
Christ In America urge upon CONGRESS
and upon the people OF d me niI an
Oriental policy based upon a just ana
equitable regard for the interests OF az,
the nations concerned, ana 70 tils . Jnn
suggests that the entire mnl minis 49,
problem be taken up at an early date,
providing for comprehensive Legislation
covering all phases OF the qn rstio,,
(such as the limitation OF immlgration
and the registration, oistriou,.oini, ,a tom
Of immigrants) in such q. way as to con.
serve American institutions, TO protect
American labor from dangerous econo-
mic competition, and to promote an IN
telligent and enduring friendliness
among the people of all nations

They Were prepared"

The Prince of Peace rebuked Peter:
PUT THY SWORD INTO ITS
scABBARD; FOR THEY THAT
TAKE THE SWORD SHALL PER
IsH BY THE SWORD"
And in the season when we oftenest
repeat, Peace on earth, good will to
men, just Heaven, what a spectacle!
And why?
Is it not because nations have taken
to the sword" in their socalled pre-
paredness"?
Preparedness for what? Why. to
perish by the sword" of course.
Look on Belgium, and Poland, and
northeastern France and witness the
fulfllment of the words of the Prince
of Presentations of homes desolate
in Europe as a result of civilized
nations in generations-old creation of
distrust and fear and jealousy. They
were prepared for the treachery
which they were eonceiving, giving
birth, and nursing. They were pre-
pared and nations are weeping for
their thousands dead and their many
thousands crippled, manned and help
less. The industrial and financial cost
today Of years of preparedness" is
more than many generations can pay.
They were prepared" yesterday, and
today they have retreated 200 years
into the past, and 200 years more will
not redeem the awful consequences Of
the stupendous idiocy.
And yet. in the very focus Of the
strong light of this demonstration of
human folly, men are shrieking, pre-
pare for war" lest some power which
we have used unjustly demand justice.
Hamilton Holt in The Independent
says:
Let there be Christmas truce on
Christmas Day, says a voice of holy
pity from Peters seat at Rome. A
truce for Christmas Day. Why not a
truce till He who came with Peace
shall come again to confirm his reign
of Peace over all the earth? Out of
honor to the Prince Of Peace shall they
lay aside the bayonet and stop the
cannon's mouth from one midnight to
the next, and then, when the hour
strikes, hasten to insult Him again
with slaughter and blood? And these
are Christians who provoke and Gre
ate war; and baptize their swords in
Christian blood, and summon Moslem
and Buddhist to help them slay and
slay. 1t is all a perverse Horror, that
cannot be explained away. Turn the
other cheek said Jesus. III he take
your cloak, give him your coat also;
but they rob and burn and batter
homes and temples Of God. o gener-
alton of murderers, how can We es-
cape the judment of perdition in this
world, with strange mercy as the only
hope for the next,
This is sad Christmas Day. That
will be a glad Christmas Day when
grass has long grown green, over the
graves of the slain and men shall have
learned-alas. that it be SO late-in
deed as well as in word, the angels
song,
Yet with the war OF sin and strife
The world has suffered long:
beneath the angels strain have rolled
Two thousand years of wrong;
and man at war with man hears not
Inc loye.song which they bring:
On hush the noise, We men of strife.
AND hear the angels sing.

Listen and Pay, Son.
lewiston Sun.)

To all parties in the Legislature our
advice is: Do not authorize any ex-
penditure until you have invited the
State superintendent of Schools 10
come before the Legislature and re-
view and explain all the expenditures
of the State for educational purposes;
including the University of Maine. AMI
including the reformatory and de-
fectives' schools. Maine appropriates
more than two million dollars a year
to educational purposes. Far more
than to any other service. State
Superintendent Smith knows more
about the schools and how the money
goes than any other man. He can
tell it better than any other man. He
has a stronger motive than any other
man to secure the wisest distribution
of the school money. He can pre-
sent to you better than any other
man the comprehensive scheme on
which the State can best spend the
money it takes from the people for
purposes of education.
After Superintendent Smith has told
you his story and has answered your
questions, you will know better than
any recent Legislature has known, and
the public will know better than the
public of this generations has known
how the money goes and what II
amounts to.
So enlightening and helpful, as well
as merely interesting. will YOU find his
exposition of his field that you will
want to hear from other executive Of
ficers.
You can in this way make the Leg
islature of 1915 the most famous AND
most honorable in the history 81
