YOUR FRECKLES
Need Attention in February and
March or Face May Stay
Covered.

Now is the time to take special
care of the complexion, if you wish it
to look well the rest Of, the year. The
February and March .Winds have a
strong tendency to bring out freckles
that may stay all summer unless re
moved. Now is the time to use
othine-double strength.
This prescription for the removal OF
freckles was written by prominent
physician and is usually SO successful
that it is sold by druggists under
guarantee to refund the money if 1t
falls. Get an ounce Of othine-double
strength, and even a few applications
should show a wonderful improve
ment, some of the smaller freckles
even vanishing entirely

New Way to Make Apple
DumplinGs
Served With Hard Sauce or Cream
and Sugar

By Mrs. Janet Mckenzie Hall, Editor of
the Bostom Cooking School Magazine
Here is new way to make apple
duinplings that will surely please every
housewife, for it is not necessary to
have whole apples, and the juice cannot
run out and burn as with apple dump
lings where the apple is placed in the
center and the dough turned up around
shell that holds the apples and juice.

BIRTH LIMITATION
Woman Doctor Advocates Con-
troll of Offspring.
Declares Law That Penalties
Physicians Is Illogical.

Chicago, June 29.-Birth control
was advocated by DR.. Eliza beth Hamil-
ton Muncie of Brooklyn in an address
before the surgical and genealogical
section of the American Institute of
Homeopathy, meeting here in its sew
nounced the laws that prevent physi-
clans telling unfit parents how to
limit their family.
1.-The law that makes it illegal to
tell how to control human birth, that
makes it a penitentiary offense for
physicians to tell parents how to limit
their family. is illogical as to say
that we should not interfere with a
falling object because it is acting in
conformity to the law of gravity" DR..
Muncie said.
This might have been a good law
after the flood when only the best
material remained to replenish the
earth. Today existing vice conditions
are but the logical outcome of the
demonlacal lie of mans necessity. The
crystallized products of this lie are
everywhere about US, as seen in all
those hideous conditions of mankind
that call for city and state control
These classes are increasing out of all
proportion to the normal classes.
Moreover, $4,000 children under one
year of ge die annually in New York
state from causes which can be helped
through family Limitation. The moth
erS of those children have submitted
to the drunken, diseased or GcentiouS
husband, who claims his superior
lordship over his wifes body and soul,
and is too far below the animal to
give the slightest thought to his prob
able offspring. Or, perhaps, both par
ents are of the same type. In the first
case, the wife should be protected and
in the second, both should be sterilized
to prevent the propagation of their
kind.

how. 81 hi n 5e

Germany Had No Right to Sink
Frye, Lansing Says.
Carrying of COntraband No Ex-
cuse for Sinking Ship.
PRIZE COURT STILL OPPOSED
Washington Rests Its Case on
Treaty Agreement.
Note Made Public by Agreement
With German Office.

Washington, June 29.-By agree
ment with the German foreign office,
the state department has made public
the text of the note sent on June "a
by the United States, asking Germany
to reconsider her refusal to settle by
direct diplomatic negotiations, instead
of by prize court proceedings, the
claim presented on behalf of the cap
tain and owners of the American ship
William P. Frye, sunk with her cargo
of wheat by the commerce raider Prinz
Eite1 Friedrich. Ambassador Gerard
cabled that he had delivered the note
last Saturday afternoon.
The American government declares
that inasmuch as Germany has admit
ted liability for the sinking of the
Frye under the treaty of 1928, prize
court proceedings are unnecessary and
not binding upon the United States.
German Contention Clearly Opposed.
Aside from the question of how the
indemnity should be paid, the note
brings out clearly the refusal of the
United States to accept the contention
that Germany has a right to stop the
carrying of contra band by American
ships by the destruction of the contra
band and the ship carrying it. While
no mention of submarine warfare was
made in either the last German note
or the present reply, the occasion was
taken to deny this right, because of a
belief that admission of it now might
in the future be used as a justification
for submarine attacks on American
ships

Huge Sum of Kansas Money
Goes Out Annually.
Spent With Mail Order Houses
by Kansas Farmers.
AVERAGE S28.85 Per CAPITA
Renters Are the Most Loyal to
the Home Merchant.
Much Due to Failure of Local
Merchants to Advertise.

If Sumner county is a fair average
of the state-and the state board of
health thinks it is-Kansas farmers
send three and three-fourths million
dollars to the mail order houses every
year. A recent social survey in Sum-
ner county developed the fact that 73
per cent of the farmers are patrons of
the mail order houses and send an
average of s2S.S5 year to foreign
concerns.
Data now in the hands of DR.. ]. ].
Sippey of the state board of health,
preach a sermon on local advertising,
town loyalty and the grip of the mail
order concerns. Down in Sumner
county where the survey was made, it
was found that less than 27 per cent
of the farmers in the county did not
patronize mail order houses. 1t was
explained by the agriculturists that
they received the bulky mail order
catalogues and sent their money east
for goods. Local merchants in num-
If they did, often failed to quote
prices.
Now the Sumner county survey is
to be an eye opener to the state and
of Importance to local retail mer-
chants, newspaper publishers and the
general buying public. This S3,745, 900
which last year was paid to mail order
concerns by Kansas farmers will be
Kept rlSnt at nome next year IL a re-
newed effort toward creating home
buying sentiment should crystalline.
One of the strange features of the
strength of the mail order houses, DIR.
Sippey found, was the fact that farm
tenants rather than farm owners were
most loyal to the home merchants. 1t
was the farm owner who sent his
money to other towns and other states
to buy goods.
I'm Wellington township in which is
located Wellington city, we found the
big majority of farmers traded at the
local stores" said DR.. Sippey. Sum
ner county farmers our investigation
shows, spend 100000 year with
mail order houses
Based on conditions in Sumner
county, there are 177,S41 farm heads
in Kansas who do not spend their
money with the local merchants They
spend an average of S2S.S5 a year with
foreign concerns, or an estimated to-
cal from the rural districts of the
state and from exclusively farm own
ers, of S3,745,000.
The Sumner county survey was
made primarily for health and sani-
tary purposes. Each farmer in the
county. however, was requested to
state the amount of his annual bust
ness with itinerant tradeSmen and
mail order houses

Illinois Factory Inspector
Speaks for Federal Control.

Government Labor Officials.

Detroit, Mich. June 29.-"Whether
the intentions of the various legisla-
lures are good, bad or Indifferent, the

sistant chief factory inspector of IL

ment labor officials of the United
States and Canada. who are in con-
Vention here. Mr.. Cohen is president
of the organization. He advocated
federal control of labor legislation and
uniform labor laws in all states.
IF a labor law is good for one
state is it not good for all?' he asked
the delegates. why should a legal

in Illinois and eight hours in Califor-
MIA? The man in Michigan works at
a machine which is protected. In an
other state, a man, the same age, with
just as many children and who owes
Just as much on his home, works at
a machine without a guard. Are his
hands worth less than those of the
Michigan man?
"A child labor law uniform in all
states would be good thing for the

and for the whole human race, includ-
ing the employers"
