1t Is 90 easy to get rid of pimples
and blackheads with Resinol, and 1t
costs SO little. too, that anyone whose

foolish to keep on with useless cos

Battle your face for several minutes
with Resinol Soap and hot water, then
apply a little Resinol Ointment very
gently. Let this stay on ten minutes,
and wash off with Resinol Soap and
more hot water, finishing with dash
of cold water to close the pores. Do
this once or twice a day, and you will
be astonished to find how quickly the
healing, antiseptic Resinol medica-

hYalenlc Salts for the Bath.

A physician who believes in baths
as a tonic advises the use Of EPSON
or Carlsbad sslts-preferably the for
her-for general IMMIGRATION. They
should be used not more than twice a
week.
Take one ounce of the salts to a
pint of warm water for sponge bath.
For large tub bath use a pint OF
salts to a tub of warm water.
Purchase the salts at a wholesale
drug house. The usual price in guam
titles is four cents pound. This
salt water makes an excellent tonic
and carries off many impuriiei
through the pores of the skin.

TOAD A VALUABLE SERVANT
lite Uses In the World Have Not Been
Accorded the Recognition It
Has Long Deserved.

Few well-meanlng creatures have
been more thoroughly misunderstood
than the homely, meditative and re-
firing toad.
Formerly the toad was considered a
venomous reptile, but in our day its
habits have been more carefully OBJ
served and its great value to the
promologist and gardener has been
fully established on account of Its
propensity for destroying insects.
We should, therefore, cultivate the
friendship and assistance of the in
sectivorous reptiles, including the
striped snake, as we'll as that Of
birds.
Every tidy housewife detests the
cockroach, mice and other vermin.
Two or three domesticated toads
would keep the coast clear of these
and would be found more desirable
than cat, as they are wholly free
from Tespassing on the rights of man
as does the cat The toad Is pos
sessed of timid and retiring nature,
loving dark corners and shady places,
but under kind treatment becoming
quite tame.
Many instances might be cited OF
pet toads remaining several years in
family and doing most valuable
service with no other compensation
than that of immunity from persecu'
ton.
In Europe toads are carried to the
cities to market and are purchased by
the horticulturists, who by their aid
are enabled to keep In check the null
tiplication of the insect tribes which
prey upon their fruits, flowers. etc.

Java, thanks largely to the official
tourist bureau, is the best known of
the islands constituting the Neither
lands East Indies. 1t is also the best
governed, the most prosperous and
the one where the most consideration,
slight though this may be, has been
shown by the Dutch government for
the welfare of the natives. Java has
a population of 35,000,O0O, more than
one-third the population of the United
live on the island. Borneo, Sumatra
and Celebes, all islands in the Dutch
archipelago, exceed Java In size. In
these the conditions are even less IA
vorable to the development OF the ma
tive population.
Have No Political Rights.
In Java the primary schools open to
natives are few and inadequate. and,
except recently for doctors, there are
no higher institutions Of learning.
The native wishing higher education
must go to Holland. Taxation is high,
particularly for the native, and the
returns he receives therefrom are few
indeed. He has no voice In any admin
istration of the islands affairs. He
cannot vote nor hold Office of any i'm

tic of the Javanese. One evening the
overseer called Sina into his bunga-
low She struggled, but Of no avail.
Her father appealed to the magistrate,
but with no more success. The double
standard OF justice exists in Java
one standard for the Europeans and an
other, save in a few notable cases, for
the native. Sina remained as house
keeper" in the overseer's bungalow,
her predecessor being no longer pleas
ing in the masters sight. She did not
return to the tea factory, nor did the
color return to her cheeks.
Kechils father and brothers, Jaw
anese of intelligence and strength,
could relate, If they dared, stories Of
their own enforced labor which make
the Dutch islands In the Far East,
mistakenly called model colonies,
seem slave islands. Her father could
tell-and did tell, under pledge of Sc
crecy as to his name-some things
from his own experience and others
from the common stock Of native
knowledge.
Few more fertile countries are to be
found in all the world than Java. Its
inhabitants are born farmers, skilled
in irrigation methods and with ex-
pert acquaintance with hydraulics,
and yet, living in land where the
richest harvests come with scarcely
an effort, large territories are periodi-
cally visited by famine. "The cause
of this" said ]. F. Scheltema, has to
be sought in a system Of colonial ex-
ploitation which made the natives
raise products for the European mar
kets by forced labor and deliver them
into the government storehouses
whence they were shipped to Holland
and sold at an enormous profit. This
system, called after Count van den
Bosch, on whose recommendation it
was introduced, to meet Hollands
financial difficulties, has now been
abandoned, though the corvee, the
calling out of the villagers in I'M
paid service for the mending of roads,
ETC., continues as before. Even now,
however, it would be too much to say
that native toll, when demanded by
direct or indirect pressure, always
commands wages sufficient to keep
body and soul together. The word
