reaping financial advantage by
the prolongation of a war which,
in savagery, relentless fury. loss

of treasure, has never had an
equal; and,
Whereas, The time has ar.
rived when not only Christian
civilization, if IT Is true to itself,
should demand an end to the tur-
moil and strife, but also the time
has arrived when the United
States OF America should be true
to her traditions, and rise~to her
responsibility by declaring be-

 BAD COMPl KION

Many an otherwise attractive girl is social failure because of 9 poor com plexfon. If your skin is not naturally fresh, smooth and glowing, or has suf- fered from an unwise use of cos meties, ResinoI Soap and Resinol Ointment will almost surely clear it in a normal. healthy way. It is so easy too:
 Just Bathe your face for several minutes with Resinol Soap and hot water, working the creamy lather into the skin gently with the finger-tips. Then wash off with more ResinoI Soap and warm water. finishing with a dash of clear, cold water to close the pores.
 DO this regularly once or twice a day, occasionally spreading on a little Reszno1 Ointment for ten or fifteen minutes before using ResinoI Soap, and you will be astonisIed how quick ly the healing, antiseptic Resfnol medi- cation soothes and eIeanses the pores. removes pfnpIes and blaokheads, and leaves the complezion clear, fresh and velvety Resin SoaP. and Ointment are sold by sfl 5Earus. z1sts.

Jonquest, an optician of Stamford at the time, saying he had made the spectacIes for BaIlou. Conquest is now mentally unbalanced- Judge Williams ruled that the purported certificate could not be admitted in evidence.
