FRECKLES
Don't Hide Them With Veil; Remove
Them With the Othine Prescription.

This prescription for the removal of
freckles was written by prominent
physician and is usually so successful
in removing freckles and giving d
clear, beautiful complexion that it is
sold by any druggist under guarantee
to refund the money if it fails.
Don't hide your freckles under a
veil; get an ounce of othine and re-
move them. Even the first few ap-
plications should show wonderful
improvement, some of the lighter free
kles vanishing entirely.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength othine; it is this that
is sold on the money-back guarantee.

TRUE THANKSGIVING DAY.

The Bounty of the fields,
The Luber- easures that the earth
So generously yields
Are harvC sted from Passport, Maine,

And bursting barns ana bins proclaim
1t is Thanksgiving Day.
In every kitchen in the land
Entlclng odors rise
From roasting fowls, and baking cakes,
And mince and pumpkin pies.
a thousand vianGs, nativegrown,
The festal boards display,
Prosperity and peace preside
AT our Than ksgivlng Day.
Rejoicing in its record crops
UnSpoileu 10y fire and sword,
The nation, blest with happy homes,
Gives thanks unto the Lord.
Content and plenty crown the year
Now almost passed away,
Secure from Wars relentless toll,
We spend Thanksgiving Day.
Deserted farms and ruined towns
Are Just across the sea-
Con well the lesson, dark and sad
For SO our own may be,
If we neglect TO guard with ships
And men in stern array,
The Dag that makes it possible
To keep Thanksgiving Day.

SETTING THE CLOCK AHEAD.

SETTING THE CLOCK AHEAD.
Something unusual happened in
Great Britain one night last May. AT
two O'Clock, when most people were
sound asleep, the clocks on all the
railroad stations, post offices, and in
all public places, were moved forward
one hour; and so, one minute later, in
stead OF being 2 OIL it was OF, just be-
cause Parliament said so. Most peo-
pie, knowing what was going to hap
pen had set their clocks and watches
ahead the night before, aud So in the
morning when they rose at 7 o'clock,
they knew that it was really 6 O'Clock,
but no doubt they were all glad to hav e
saved an hour of early daylight.
Now an hour OF early daylight at the
beginning of the day may not mean
much to each Individual, but the hour
of artificial lighting which is thus saw
ed at the end of the day by the earlier
closing OF factories, stores and public
buildings is an enormous saving for u
great city. New York City, it is said,
would save 81 100000 year by lighting
if the clocks were set ahead an hour,
and SO the people of New York are
seriously considering following the
example set by Great Britain.
And now you can see why Parliament
bothers itself over what may seem, ou
first thought, trivial matter. Eng
land expects to save $l2, 800 900 on
lighting this year, and just now, when
war expenses are SO heavy, that
means a great deal.
Austria, Germany and Norway also
have set their clocks ahead, two OF
our own cities, Cleveland and Detroit,
have done the same, and it probably
will not be long before most of our
great cities adopt the light'saving
plan.

ITEMS FROM The PILOT FILES.
FORTY.FOUR YEARS AGO.

The voters of Manitowoc County are
again upon, as they will see by an or
der for special election (Which will
be found in another column) for County
Treasurer, tc be held on the 9th day
of December, 1872, AS there was a
tie vote at the general election, the
same candidates are still in the field
by virtue of their their respective par
ty nominations, and are entitled to
their parties support just as much as
at the general election on November
5. We hope all Democrats will come
out, as our opponents are counting on
full republican vote in this city,
while they hope that the vote IN the
country, which is Democratic, will not
come out, as they can not make any
thing out of split tickets in this
elecJon, and hope to capture the irish
vote of the county for their candidate
by claiming that the defeat OF Mr..
Conway was due 10 an organization
among the German voters o! the Coun'
ty belonging to our party. This they
have about given up, as they cannot
make it appear that such was the
case, from the fact that those towns
casting the largest German vote, such
as Two Rivers, Mishicott, Centerville,
Ne wton, Meeme, and Schleswig, gave
Mr.. Conway a full and as near COM
plete Democratic vote, as any man on
the ticket. 1t may be cunning to eX-
cite national prejudices, but it will not
work, as there is no foundation to pred
icate such an argument on in the cleo
tion Just past, and will not change the
vote of any thinking man 10 the county.

drawn for the December term, lS'2,
