Now Is the Time to Get Rid of Those
Ugly Spots

There's no longer the slightest need
of feeling ashamed Of your freckles as
the prescription othine-double
strengths guaranteed to remove
these homely spots.
Simply get an ounce of othine-
double strength-from any druggist
and apply a little of it night and morn
ing and you should soon see that even
the worst freckles have begun TO dis
appear, while the lighter ones have
vanished entirely. 1t is seldom that
more than an ounce is needed to com
pletely clear the skin and gain beau
tiful clear complexion.
Be sure to ask for the double
strength othine as this is sold under
guarantee Of money back if it fails to
remove freckles.

A WOMAN IN THE "HOUSE."

Never before have women figured 50
conspicuously Or so ~potently in an cleo
ton, not only in turning the tide oil
votes in ten of the Western States
where they have full suffrage, but most
of all in at last sending a woman to
Congress, Miss Jeanette Rankin, this
feminine pioneer in the House, has al
thousand qualifications for filling her
unique position, which probably will
not be unique for long. Demonstrated
by her, the power of women to act in
our Federal Legislature will perhaps
be conceded more widely another cleo
ton time; at any rate the walls are
crumbling, Miss Rankin's work in Con-
gress will go farther to win the ballot
for her unfranchised sisters than all
the Suffrage Amendment agitation; it
may have something of the effect that
the quiet labor of EnglishWomen since
the war began has had upon Parlla
ment.
Miss Rankin could have ANNOUNCED
no better platform than activity for 50
cial welfare legislation. Care OF the
young, the poor. the infirm. the insane
the erring and ignorant is womali
part. Too long our reform schools
and orphan asylums have been direcE

character is no work for a clumsy

of influence Miss Rankin can accom-
plish much. Especially can she MAKE

classes. for whom men have neglected

II HALF ORPHAN.

1. There are a great many of him.
Persons who think this class not a
large one should read my mail for a
few days. Sometimes as many as a
dozen present themselves in a day
seeking place in the O~rphanage.
2. It is not, denied that many of
them are worthy subjects for denomi-
rationale care. Probably some of them
should not be received. Some mothers
ere broken in health as we'll a S in for
tune. In most cases however, the gen
uiness of the restitution and needs is
apparent. At any rate our rule is not
to debate this point but to assume that
the need is real.
3. The Orphanage trustees several
years ago passed a rule, which has
never been rescinded, that the full or
phan should always take: precedence
overEthe half orphan. The. justice of
his rule appears to be unchallenged by
the Sbrethren.-- When the supeEinten-
dent is compelled to enforce the rule
it will be we'll to remember that he is
a man under authority and is expected
to obey orders. We rarely catch up
with demands from the full orphan
class.
A.. If we are-going to take care of
all the half orphans we might as well
wake UP to the fact that We must go
into the wholesale business and change
our retail plans. We perhaps turn
away ten children where we receive

Often the brother who i~ntercedes for
admission of a group of children can
not understand why they are denied
admission. 1t is simply because there
are not enough vacancies to go around.

broken because of poverty alone? It
is easy to get rid of a community bur-
den by shipping the children to the
and setting the mother free.
But the burden is simply transferred
