PIMPLES ALL OVER FACE

1413 B. Genessee Ave-. Saginaw, Soap and Ointment cured me of a very bad disease of the face without leaving a scar. Pimples broke out all over my face, red and large. They festered and came to a head. They itched and burned and caused me to scratch them and make sores. They said they were seed warts. At night was restless from itching. When the barber would shave me my face would bleed terri bly,. Then scabs would form after wards, then they would drop of and the so-called seed warts would come back again. They were on my face for about nine months and the trou- ble caused disfigurement while 1t lasted.
 "One day I read in the paper of the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I re- ,ceived free sample of Cuticura Soap and Ointment and 1t was so much value to me that bought a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura Ointment at the drug store. used both according to, directions. In about ten days my face began to heal up. My face is now clear of the warts and not scar is left" (SigneO LeRoy c. O'Brien, May 12, 1913.

Is faced with white crape which ex- tends part way up on the coronet It is prettily trimmed with knot and ends made of the crape.
 For summer wear mourning mil inery shows all the designs that are made up in black, duplicated in white crape, which is correct mourning. Combinations of black and white in the same hat develop wonderfully at. tractive millinery and demonstrate that it is the fabric rather than its color which signifies its use and puf. pose
 Among the shapes fashionable this season there are many which are adapted to. crape hats. They are medium in size and set almost square. ly on the head, two things which are excellent points in their favor. When crape veils are used with them they are almost always rather short and fall from the back of the hat

RELOCATE MANY OLD ROADS
Department of Agriculture Advises Cutting Out of Grades on High
 ways to Save Horses.

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agrlculture.)
 The average life of horses and au. tomobiles may be increased and the cost of hauling reduced, according to the office of roads of the department of agriculture, by relocating many old roads and the more scientific laying out of new ones. The natural tenden- cy in road building is to build a straight road, whether it goes over steep grades or hills, or not, and pull ing over these grades naturally adds to the wear and tear on horses and vehicles.
 The doctrine of the office of roads Is that the longest way around may often be the shortest and most economical way home, and that frequently by building highway around hill or grade, but little appreciable distance is added and this is more than offset by the reduced strain of hauling.
 The chief drawback from the farm owners point of view is that the lay ing out of roads on this principle of avoiding grades necessitates, in some cases, running the road through good | I1uO UT OrCudIQS lu- stead of going around the farm line and building the road through old worn-out fields and over rocky knolls. This, of ,urse, must raise question in the mind of the individual land owner as to whether the cutting up of his property by road yields him in- dividual advantages and so benefits his community as to offset the use of such land for a road, or to overcome the in- convenience of having his land di- vided. In this connection the office of roads points out that the running of a road and the resulting traffic through a good farm, where there are good sheep. cattle, horses, grain. fruit or vegetables, has certain advertising value and in many instances makes the land more valuable. In other cases, the importance of such a level road to the community is so great that it might well repay those using the road to give the farmer the equivalent in land equally good in place of what

the back and in front. This is fin ished with a very narrow hem and a fold of chiffon, in the same color as the crepe. It is placed over the waist and sewed in at the waist line. The shoulder is long and the armholes are finished with a narrow border of chif- ion.
 Sleeves of net dyed to match the crepe in color are placed over the sleeves of the foundation and sewed down to them at the armholes. The crepe bodice extends over the arms eye and conceals it.
 Short motifs of dyed lace with touches of silk embroidery in tur- quoise blue, pale green and silver thread are placed over the full lace surplice at the front. The round neck is finished with narrow velvet ribbon in turquoise blue.
 There is a wide, soft girdle of the crepe de chine, which fastens in front and, as finishing touch, frills of plaited net are set on to the sleeves.
 Such a waist would be as effective developed in any other color or in black and white. The color of the velvet at the neck and those colors in the embroidery are to be chosen to harmonize with that used for the overbodice.

nNE of those pretty fancy waists " which are so easily made by draping a net foundation with silk or chiffon and lace is pictured here. Any wom- an who can sew even little can man. age waist of this kind and get re- suits that will delight her.
 The blouse shown in the picture is made over a ready-made foundation waist of cream-colored net, cut with a round neck and elbow sleeves. Waists of this kind, or of inexpensive all-over lace, may be had for dollar or two. And, since fashion decrees that clothes are not to fit but to hang upon the figure, ready made founda- tion is altogether satisfactory for use in making dressy blouse of lace or of crepe or silk or chiffon, or com binations of these fabrics.
 Over the foundation waist of net there is surplice drapery of wide shadow lace. Itis gathered in at the shoulder seams and brought to the waist line at the front and back, where 1t is sewed into the narrow belt or tape that finishes the net waist This gives the blouse the full, soft ap- pearance which is required for style and for beauty

UPWARD START After Changing from Coffee to Postum.

Many . talented person is kept back because of the interference of coffee with the nourishment of the body.
 This is especially so with those whose nerves are very sensitive, as Is often the case with talented persons. There is a simple, easy way to get rid of coffee troubles and a Tenn. lady's experience along these lines is worth considering. She says:
 Almost from the beginning of the use of coffee it hurt my stomach. By the time I was fifteen was almost a nervous wreck, nerves all unstrung, no strength to endure the most trivial thing, either work or fun.
 There was scarcely anything could eat that would agree with me. The little did eat seemed to give me more trouble than it was worth. was literally starving; was so weak could not sit up long at 8 time.
 "It was then friend brought me . hot cup of Postum. drank part of it and after an hour felt as though had had something to eat = felt strengthened. That was about i've years ago, and after continuing Post um in place of coffee and gradually getting stronger, today l can eat and digest anything want. walk as much as want. My nerves are steady.
 T believe the first thing that did me any good and gave me an upward start, was Postum, and I use 1t alto gether now instead of coffee"
 Name given by the Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich.
 Postum now comes in two forms:
 Regular Postum = must be well boiled. 15o and 25c packages.
 Instant Pootum-is a soluble pow der. A teaspoonful dissolves quickly in a cup of hot water and, with cream and sugar, makes delicious bever- age instantly. 30c and soc tins.
 The cost per cup of both kinds is about the same.

Head of a FIrm. United Party.

Unquestionably the president has made himself the party leader, the leader whom the majority of the Demo- crats will follow, fGrsaking all others and cleaving unto him only,, declares the Boston Transcript. The Demo crats are often accused of having the Bourbon characteristic of learning nothing and forgetting nothing. It must be- admitted that in their 16 years in the wilderness of opposition they have learned that it does not pay for dominant party to be perpetually quarreling with the president of its choice. The lesson of their defection from Cleveland in 1893-94 is not one of the things they have forgotten. By their opposition to his policies they drove him to solicit the aid of Repub- licans. The Democrats split their own party, and condemned it to period of feeble opposition that was so long con- tinued that the country came to think of it as the normal condition" of the Democracy.

PREDICT RECORD WHEAT CROP.

Federal Report Estimates 551 ,ooo, ,oo0-
 BusheI Harvest from Condition.
 Washington. A record-breaking winter wheat crop is in prospect this year, the Department of Agriculture estimating on conservative basis that the yield may exceed 51.000 .000 bushels. The condition of the crop. April 1. was 95.6 per cent of normal, or 11.5 per cent better than the aver age April condition for the past ten years.
 The area planted last autumn was S6,o06,000 acres, and with a compara- lively good winter it is believed the percentage of acreage abandoned has been somewhat less than 96 per cent below the past ten years, so that aI1 unusually big acreage will be harvest ed if conditions continue favorable throughout the season.

Democracy Now in order.

MT. Wilson has not shirked responss- bility. Rather has he gone forward in the spirit of a man who not only knew his power, but was perfectly willing to exercise it. Nor ehould it be for gotten that in whatever progress he has made as party leader he has had unusual encouragement from men un- accustomed to follow so far. Long in the minority, and for 20 years torn by factionalism, the Democracy until re- gently had resembled nothing so much as a balky team. with the leaders fac ing one way and wheelers the other. and bad language from the driver fill ing the circumambient air. It is Mr. Wilson's distinction to have reduced the team to order.

NO HELP ID NATION
Subsidies to CoaStWise Vessels
 Would Not Be of Benefit.
Argument That They Would Tend to Build Up American Merchant Ma rine Is Not TenabIe, as Consid-
 eration Will Demonstrate.

The strongest argument in favor of ship subsidies is that such subsidies will bring into existence ships to be used as auxiliaries to the navy in war times; will bring into existence At lantic and Pacific liners. ships with greater speed and greater cruising radius than the scout ships of the navy, and which, equally valuable as the scout ships, will be maintained at much less cost than such naval ves- sels; will bring into existence ocean going passenger ships which can be used as troop ships in time of war, and will bring into existence ocean going freighters to carry military supplies and coal to the battle sQuadrons and armies operating over sea.
 The other argument for ship subsi- dies is that they will build up steam ship lines to carry American products direct to foreign ports, and thus help American producers in their competi- tion for the worlds markets.
 The American public has seen plain ly that voting money to the coastwise ship trusts will not tend toward either of these results.
 Coastwise vessels are not of char acter to be used in time of war. They have not the speed nor the bunker ca pacity nor the seagoing qualities to make them scouts or troop ships, or even coal purveyors.
 Our coastwise ships steal along the coast from port to port, running to shelter from ocean storms and replen- ishing their coal supply at frequent in- tervals. The same ships and the same class of ships will extend their voyages through the Panama canal. If their number is increased it will merely increase the amount of traffic carried from port to port. It will not create one ship capable of independent action on the high seas. HA
 Subsidies confined to ships in the coastwise trade, as provided in the ex- isting Panama canal toll act, cannot stimulate the building of single ship for foreign trade.
 Every alleged reason for ship subsi- dies falls to the ground when applied to coastwise shipping.

ProbIem Properly HandIed.

There are several evils of business that the people and their government are resolved to ban by laws that will punish heavily those who wilfully traf- fic in those evils. But in striving to reach the guilty it is essential to pro tect the innocent from unjust and un- necessary punishment, and it is equally essential that the business of the coun- try should not be fettered.
 Here in the rough is the problem that our president and his party must engage, and upon their wisdom and justice in dealing with it will depend the judgment of them that the country will record at the elections in 1914 and 1916.
 That the president realizes all this is made clear by the sensible course he is following.

THE toque for mourning, illustrated ! here, is designed for a widow and shows a conservative shape covered with crape very cleverly put on. A crape veil, in the fashionable length and drape. is part of the design and is not removable
 The toque frame is rather long and narrow. The coronet is covered with narrow folds of crape laid on in pattern. The veil falls from the back and is a part of the hat, not remov- able. It falls not quite to the waist line. This veil Is good type of those used this season. It is entirely of crape. with a three-inch hem, and eDmewhat shorter than the average of former seasons. Veils as rule are shorter and are used as a part of the design.

Special Privilege Rebuked.

Special privilege advocates thought to fool the people by untrue state ments concerning the effect of the subsidy act and by an appeal to hatred supposed, with more or less truth, to exist towards the kingdom of Great Britain.
 The plan has failed dismally, and with it it's proponents.
 The people have seen through the pretenses of the privilege seekers. The loud voices and flushed faces of con gressmen have aroused no emotion hut disgust.-Chtcazo Tribune.

Finding 1t was useless to continue the pursuit, and almost beside herself with rage, the old lady shouted at the top of her voice: "I'll give anybody a dime to catch that boy!" The boy instantly stopped and, turning round. shouted in reply: Give me the dime and I'll come back"
