Wilson should be here. The ozzes md
the man would each fittingly grace
this occasion. But duty said to him
that justice to all the people babe him
to stay in Washington. You hope for
continued peace. Do not forget that
he is your greatest peacemaker. May
the truth that he seeks your good
rather than his own or your pleasure
tighten the disappointments of this
hour. Before the sunset bell shall
proclaim the close of this marvel Of
the Twentieth Century, the President
of the United States hopes to meet
you face to face.

Basket Ball Game Saturday.

In a one sided game of basket
ball Saturday afternoon The Scot
land Neck High School Girls basket
ball team went down to defend the
Greenville high school team 81 to 2.
In the first half the visitors piled up
a score of thirty to nothing, the To-
cal girls being played off their feet
from the moment the whistle blew
until the ending of the half. This
being the first game that the local
team had played they appeared,
nervous and unsteady. This for
wards for the home team were not
given many chances to shoot the
ball as the local guards let the Wis
itors run wild with the bulky sphere.
At times the interference of local
players became the istless that it
lookes as if time was taken out for
the visitors to shoot until the ball
was Gagged. This robbed the game
Of pep. The feature of the game
was the playing Of E. Critcher for
Greenville who scored 48 Of The
points totalled by the visiting team
The 1.-THE and snple little forward
WAS all over the court like a tornado
shooting from angles that appeared
! impossible to the bleachers. She
was bv far the fastest and most &C
curated shot seen on the local court
IN many seasons.

DEMAND FOR GLASS IS BIG
Great Britain Orders Supply in This
Country for Use in Barrack
Windows.

Kane, Pa.-For the first time in his.
tory practically every window glass
plant in this section will operate
through the summer season. Some Of
the plants may be compelled to cease
operations for six or eight weeks fer
repairs, but will resume operation as
soon as they are completed.
The great activity of the window
glass trade is due TO the war, the de-
mand for glass for export shipments
being the greatest in history Much Of
the glass is being shipped to London,
where it is being used for temporary
barracks in training camps. Before the
outbreak of the war Great Britain de-
pended almost entirely on Germany
and Be!gium for glass.

RECIPE TO CLEAR
-. -. = ...azs,- III,
A P|M|P[Y SKIN
Pimples are Impurities Seeking
an Outlet Through Skin
Pores. ~

Pimples, sores and 4boi1s Usually re-
suit from toxins, poisons and impurities
which are generated in the bowels and
then absorbed into the blood through
the very ducts which should absorb only
nourishment to sustain the body.
It is the function of the kidneys to
filter impurities from the blood and
cast them out in the form Of urine, but
in many instances the bowels create
more toxins and impurities than the
kidneys can eliminate, then the blood
uses the skin pores as the next best
means of getting rid of these impurities
which often break out all over the skin
in the form of pinp1es@
The surest way to clear the skin of
these eruptions, says a noted authority,
is to get from any pharmacy about
four ounces Of Jad Salts and take
tablespoonful in glass Of hot waite,
each morning before breakfast for one
week. This will prevent the formation
Of toxins in the bowels. It also stimu-
lates the Kidneys to normal activity,
thus coax1ng them to filter the blood of
impurities and eearing~the skin Of
.pimples. - :. = a
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with 1ithia. Here
you have a pleasant, effervescent drink
which usually makes pinp1es DISAPPEAR
cleanses the blood and is excellent for.
the kidneys as well. -.

New York, Feb. 24-Stocks mani fesfed a-moderate degree of resistance today. prices recovering sharply in the afternoon after an early period of de- pression and closing with numerous fractional gains. Professional selling was less aggressive, the short interest proceeding more cautiously in conse- quence of developments which denoted a lessening of the strain in the foreign situation.
 As a matter of fact, 1t was generally recognized that the persistent selling of the past few days had made the market somewhat vulnerable on the bear side. According to impartial ob- servers, the short interest Is out of all proportion to the amount of business transacted. this being evidenced in the scarcity of stocks during today's COW ering movement.
 Foreign selling of stocks was less marked, but offerings of high class
 bonds continued, although on a small
 CT scale, with less depreciation of val

Thousands upon thousands of women have kidney or bladder trouble and never suspect it.
 Women's complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney. trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease.
 If the kidneys are not in a healthy condition. they may cause the other organs to become diseased.
 You may suffer a great deal with pain in the back, bearing-doWn feel ings, headache and loss of ambition. Poor health makes you nervous, irri- table and may be Respondent; it makes any one so.
 But hundreds of women claim that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restor- ing health to the kidneys, proved to be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions.
 A good kidney medicine, possessing real healing and curative value, should be a blessing to thousands of nervous, over-worked women.
