Possibly there Il nothing more annoying to
a refined woman than offensive Precipitation
or body odors. These RbOninable social pests
have been well eIemplined In the experience

Dr. Charter uses a sponEe bath made Of /
e. Tyree's Antiseptic Powder IN one gallon
Of water SB preventive and cure. He says he
iinds the powder to be a deodoTizer and slim
uiant Of the skin and an aileviator OF pain.
Two teaspoonsfuls OF the pure powder In =
pint Of water gave him excellent results in
\ case OF Poison Oak after all other remedies
had failed. Similar happy effects were OBJ
tained from the use OF the same strength 80

comfort from all such painful affections.
The doctor further suggests to social pa
irons the use OF Tyree's Powder instead OF
uoisonCus tablets. carbolic acid. peroxide. etc.
as Il Is in every way more agreeable and the
results accompanying its use are much TO be
preferred TO the dangerous and disagreeaLle

doomed" declared the Rev. James L.
Gordon to the throng that packed

GERARD'S BOOK IS
BASIS Of SERMON
BY LOCAL PASTOR

Ambassador Gerard's book, my
Four Years in Germany" which is be-
ing published in Washington exclu-
siveIy in The Times, is destined to be
the classic of war literature, accord
ing to the Rev. James L. Gordon,
pastor Of the First Congregational
Church.
DR.. Gordon preached twice yes
terday on Secrets OF the Kaiser"
basing his sermons largely on Ambas-
sador Gerard's book.
II think that Ambassador Gerard's
book will become a classic in war
literature" declared DR.. Gordon in an
interview today. 'It is the most
widely read of all the L400 books on
the present war that are now before
the reading public.
Mr.. Gerard, as ambassador to Ger
many, had the finest opportunity OF
any man in the world to get an &C
curate inside picture Of Germany and
the Germans. You would have to go
through the whole history Of the
war TO get the gossip-using the
word in the higher sense-Of nations,
courts, and rulers that is brought to
light in the book.
The Washington times., 1917-10-08
shows Deprivation.

zone OF his most vivid pictures
banishes the myth OF the accepted
happiness of the German working
man. Before the publication of My
Four Years in Germany We were
accustomed to consider the lot OF the
working classes in Germany the most
fortunate in the world. Their home
life was extolled as the finest of any
land. But Ambassador Gerard has
shown US that the average German
workman stays at home because he
can not afford to go anywhere else,
and he reveals the startling fact that
55 per cent OF the families in Berlin
live in one room. That is a terrible
state of affairs.
"To my mind. one OF the greatest
values of the book lies in the inti-
mate pictures of the workings OF the
Hohenzollern court that Mr.. Gerard
draws. Hi. reports OF conversations
of the Kaiser. the Empress. the crown
prince, and the leading military fig-
ures. such as Won Hindenhurg. leave
an indelible imprint upon the mind.
1t is form these reports that we can
II is from these reports that we can
man autocracy."
The Washington times., 1917-10-08
Gives Vivid Picture.

'Mr. Gerard is a sane, normal man,
who has not been unbalanced by the
trying situations which he has under
gone, but who gives us a calm, judi
cial, and vivid picture of the things
as they are. When you read the book
you get the truth.
He is fair even to the enemy. The
strict impartiality of the work is
striking. Mr.. Gerard could go back
to Germany after the war without
objection, his work is so open. frank,
and candid. without doing the least
injustice to either side. The book is
fair statement of the case. written
so that he can look the whole world
in the face.
