Up until late hour this afternoon

Rev. DIR. William n. Yates, city school
director, as candidate for the State
Senate on the Republican and Demo

EX-Congressman A. Il. Rupley, the
Rev. DR.. Yates attorney, declared
this morning however that he in
tended to act late to-day or early to-
morrow.
The minister issued a general state
ment to the newspapers in which he
explained his reasons for the contem-
plated proceeding.
The Yates statement:

dacy for the nomination for senator
on the Republican, Democratic and

frank statement of facts due you and
myself. In no way whatever have |

Proposals Foreshadowing
COmpulsion Unless More
Answer Call, Presented
BY Associated Press

London, April 26. - Premier AS
quith at the secret session of Parlia-
ment yesterday presented on behalf
OF the government proposals foresha-
dowing general military compulsion
unless success attended "imm ediate
efforts to obtain men required by vol
UNFAIRLY enlistment from amongst un-
attested married men," The govern
ment's proposals were publicly an
nounced to-day in long statement to
the press.
The government. Mr.. Asquith said,
will forthwith ask Parliament for
compulsory power" unless at the end
of four weeks ending May 81, $4,000
men have been secured by voluntary
enlistment. The same course is pro-
posed if in any one week after May
%, $4,000 men have not been scured
by direct enlistment. These arrange
ments are to hold good until 100000
unattested men have been obtained.
Owing to the length of time required
to sift individual cases under the
present system, the press statement
said, recruiting to date "has fallen
short of requirements which were
necessary to fulfill our proper military
effort"

welcomed. His reorganization of the

SIMPLE WAY TO GET
RID OF BLACKHEADS

There is one simple. safe and sure
way that never fails to get rid of black
heads and that is to dissolve them.
To do this get about two ounces OF
plain powdered neroXin from any drug
store-sprinkle a little on a hot, wet
sponge-rub over the blackheads brisk
ly--wash the parts and you will be sur
prised how the black heads have dis
appeared. Big blackheads, little black
heads, no matter where they are, simply
dissolve and disappear, leaving the
parts without any mark whatever
3lackheads are simply a mixture of
dust and dirt and secretions from the
body that form in the pores of the
skin. Pinchlng and squeezing only
cause irritation, make large pores and
do not get them out after they become
hard. The powdered neroXin and the
water simply dissolve the blackheads so
they wash right out, leaving the pores
free and clean and in their natural con-
dition. Anyone troubled with these un-
slightly blemishes should certainly try
this simple method.-Advertisem
