Freckle-Face
Now is the Time to Get Rid Of These Ugly
Spots,

Do you know how easy it is TO remove
those ugly spots so that no one will call
you freckle-face?
Simply get an ounce of carpol, extra
strong, from your druggist, and few
applications should show you how easy
is it to rid yourself of freckles and get a
beautiful complexion. The sun and
winds this month have a strengtendency
to bring out freckles, and as a result
more carpol is sold in these months. Be
sure to ask for the extra strong, as this
is sold under guarantee of money back
it fails to remove the freckles. Carpol

scribed as the "most staggering kind
or experiences" 1t appeared that be-
cause the war was sudden, prominent
firms and corporations in a burst of
patriotism publicly announced that
they would give full pay during the
war to every man who bore arms.
This was intended, it was explained,
to encourage enlistment.
Offers Too Generous
Something like ruinous confusion
and chaos threatened many of the
important industries of Great Britain
and Canada after a year or more of
this drain upon business the Ameri-
can manufacturers were informed.
The generous offers made at the be-
ginning of the war set q pace which
public sentiment fostered and en-
couraged, but which business was un-
able to keep up. The result has been,
the investigation showed that under
takings made by heads of firms
throughout the industries to their
employees had to be Cancelled, and
the entire method of dealing with the
problem in Great Britain and Canada
has had to be readiustcd.
Employers who had promised their
employees to give them back their
own jobs found it impossible to full
fill their promises. Many came back
MANNED and injured, and after two
years of war, q vast army of tenn
porary help had been created in the
factories. The problem of getting
rid of this temporary help on the re-
turn of the soldiers proved difficult
one.
Need Sclectivc ConscPiption
The employer in Great Britain and
Canada would, first of all, it was ex-
planned. provide for "selective con-
scription," taking young unmarried
men, and even from this first draft,
send back to the factories every man
who was a skilled workman.
The British and Canadian govern
ments have decided, the American
manufacturers have been informed,
to pay a Subsistence allowance" to
each dependent family, representing
a figure sufficient for food and rent
alone. That has been figured out to
be $51.6S a month for a family of
two adults and three children, paid
by the Government direct to the de-
pendent family.
Separation Allowance
Then there is the separation al
lowance" of $40 a month per family,
for moderate comforts. clothes etc.
and the passionate allowance"
made at the discretion of a central
agency distributing the fund in ex-
ceptional cases.
These separate" and compass
sionate" allowances are not paid by
the Government but 'ome out of q
national patriotic fund raised by vol
untary public subscriptions.
