BLACKHEADS GO QUICK
BY THIS SIMPLE METHOD

Blackheads-big ones or little ones
soft ones or hard ones-on any part OF
the body, go quick by simple method
that just dissolves them. To do this
get about two ounces of powdered ne
roxin from your druggist-sprinkle a
little on a hot, wet sponge-rub over
the blackheads briskly for few sec
onds-and, wash off. You'll wonder
where the blackheads have gone. The
powdered neroxin and the hot water
have just dissolved them. Pinching and
squeezing blackheads only open the
pores Of the skin and leave them open
and unsightly-and unless the black
heads are big and soft they will not
come out, while the simple application
of neroxin and water dissolves them
right out, leaving the skin soft and the
pores in their natural condition. You
can get powdered neroxin at any drug
store and if you are troubled with these
unsightly blemishes you should GER
tainly try this simple method.

Dull Finished Mahogany.

The furniture that we love is the
old mahogany that our careful fore
mothers kept in such good condition
that we can enjoy it today And fol-
lowing their example, we must still
keep it in the best of order but the
very high gloss that was liked for
some time past on old woodwork is
not so much in favor now among peo-
pie who want enjoyment and use in
connection with their heirlooms. To
live in dread of finger marks on pol
ished surface is not to be comfortable.
SO instead of using much furniture
polish on old mahogany, use very
little sweet OIL Apply it sparingly,
rub and rub it in. Another good APP
plication for unfinished mahogany is
made Of two ounces of yellow beeswax
dissolved in the same quantity of tur-
pentine. But whatever polish is used.
the wood must be thoroughly busted
and rubbed before the application is
made.

LINGER ALWAYS IN MEMORY
Childhood Happenings Are Often Re.

the Mental Health.

':Most of us, looking back to our days
of childhood, can recall very little
about them, either pleasant or unpleas-
ant The common assumption has al
ways been that we cannot recall them
because they have been completely
crowded out of memory by the host of
other memory-images accumulated in
the intervening years. But lately, as a
result Of the Investigations Of group
of scientists to whom has been given
the name of psychopathologist it has
been proved that although the hap
penings of childhood may in truth be
almost entirely forgotten as far as
conscious recollection is concerned,
vivid memory-images of them are new,
ertheless retained beneath the thresh
old Of consciousness; and, if they are
of an unpleasant nature, may act like
an irritant of the nervous system to
undermine the health

annoying and distressing nervous
symptoms, of strange hysterical at
tacks, and even of seeming insanity.

him to come over to Vinita and meet
him on his return north to Parsons.
He said in the message that he expect

WEEKLY FOOD CARS IN BERLIN

Berlin, May 5-Schoenberg,
big residential suburb of Berlin, to-
day introduced the use of general
food cards to supplement the over
worked bread cards. The new cards
contain twelve lettered sections. each
emitting the holder to a quarter of
a pound of meat or fat. One section
calls for pound and half of le-
gumes (vegetables) and five sec
tions for such other food as "the
magistrate may be able to obtain ;"
In introducing the new cards the
Mayor expresses regret that he has
been unable to induce all of greater
Berlin to take the same step. To pre-
vent card holders from using the en-
tire twelve sections in one purchase,
the schoenberg authorities will spec
ify from day to day when each let
tered section will be valid.

EUROPEAN NEWS AND VIEWS

London, May 15.-No one be-
lieves that there is any hope of an
immediate termination of the Euro
pean war, but the only reason why
rumors of such nature attract at
tention is because they bring further
into the limelight King Alfonso of
Spain. Diplomatists state that If
Germany should be forced to sue for
peace she will ignore the good offices
of the United States and trust her
fate into the hands of Spain. There
is a very strong pro-German feeling
in Spain, and this has been increas-
ing rapidly during recent months
The King of Spain seems to have
taken the place earlier occupied by
President Wilson as the chief i'm
partial onlooker upon hostilities.
Wales has little patience for the
man who is not willing to fight,
which is not surprising when one
recalls that Wales is the land of Da-
vid Lloyd-George Within the past
few weeks notices have been posted
on the Cardiff Coal Exchange that in
future no single man, who, being
physically fit, has not attested his
willingness to join the army, will be
permitted on the floor of the ex-
change unless he can furnish a reas-
on satisfactory to the committee of
control of the exchange.
Just what the Socialists of France
intend to do at the close OF the war
is a matter of concern to French
politicians. Although all parties
have Joined hands in supporting the
government during the present crisis,
it is reported that certain Socialist
leaders are only waiting for a deo-
laration of peace to. start some
thing" as they say in America.
What is most interesting, however,
is the prediction of no less a person
age than Gustave Herve that after
the war there will be national
socialism in all countries, which will
spring from the soil of those coun-
tries. adds that social warfare
will be impossible between classes
that have fought side by side lang.
1t has brought too little benefit to
the poor and done too much harm to
the nation by paralyzing its indus
trial development, and to the repub-
lie by preventing its normal develop
ment, to continue.

CHINESE LABOR IN FRANCE
VERY SATISFACTORY
(By Associated Press. }

Paris, May 15-The experiment
made in France with Chinese labor
to replace men withdrawn from fac.
tory and farm work by the war has
been so helpful from an economic
point of view as to incite an exten-
sion of the experiment. The senate
army committee has reported favor
ably upon a proposition to employ la.
bor from Frances Chinese colonies of
AMMAN, Cochin-China and Tonkin, in
all industries working for the govern
ment and in the fields wherever farm
help is needed. Fifty thousands An
namites altogether are either at work
in France or waiting in French ports
to be sent to destination, or on the
way.
The senate committee proposes to
bring 100000 more Chinese The
North African colony of Algeria and
the protectorates of Tunis and Moroc-
co, as it is pointed out by Henry
Berenger, a leading member of the
army committee, are able to furnish
100 900 Berberes and Kabylie work
men, while 10000 at least could be
drawn from Madagascar With the
2S0, 900 colonial soldiers Incorporated
in the French army since August 1914
these 2SO,OOO workmen would bring
up $4,000 the number of Chinese
Arabs, Berheres and Kabylies brought
to France by the war.
The social consequences of this
heavy Importation of Chinese labor
have not apparently preoccupied
either the members of the commit
tee of the army that has been study
ing the question or the general pub
lie The $4,000 Chinese, whose until
ization is already provided for, come

wears. which stipulates that after the
war is over these oriental workmen
NAV be employed in any other colon
ial posesions outside of France. This
is the only feature of the experiment
suggesting apprehension that, after
the war is over, and the necessity for
substitution of imported labor has
passed. a social question may arise
requiring the deportation Of the CO.
lonial labor.
In order to facilitate the execution
of their work by the Annamite labor,
a special Franco-Chinese school is be-
ing founded under the direction Of
