dience greeted Rev. j. w. Lee, the
new pastor at Wesley NJ. E. Church
Sunday morning, when he preached
his initial sermon in that edifice. An
augmented choir rendered pleasing

FRECKLE-FACE
Now Is the Time to Get Rid of Those
Ugly Spots.

Do you know how easy it is to re-
move those ugly spots so that no one
will call you freckle-face?
Simply get an ounce of othine,
double strength, from your druggist
and a few applications should show
you how easy it is to rid yourself of
freckles and get a beautiful complex
ion. The sun and winds of March
have a strong tendency to bring out
freckles, and as a result more othine
is sold in this month. Be sure to ask
for the double strength othine, as this
is sold under guarantee of money back
if it fails to remove freckles.-adv.

The Atlantic City Gazette-Review
under the heading "~Enterprising Plea
s~antville" publishes the following edi-
torial:-
Pleasantville is using no halfway
measures in pushing the movement
that has been inaugurated to secure
the State Normal School proposed for
South Jersey. The efficient, business
like manner in which the campaign for
the school is being handled speaks vol
umes for the enterprise of the MAIN
land community, and if the question
of a site is decided solely on the mer-
its of the localities in the field, Pleas
antville's chances appear to be unus-
uallv good.
There isn't a flaw in the arguments
advanced for the choice of Pleasant
vile for the new school. 1t is nearer
the center of counties which the school
is designed to benefit than any other
point proposed, and has at it's disposal
the railroad facilities of Atlantic CITY.
which are unsurpassed by any other
community of its size in the country.
The location of the normal school at
Collingswood, conceded to be the main
land city's most dangerous competitor
would simply be adding to the already
excellent facilities now enjoyed by
that section of the State through its
proximity to the State Normal School
at Trenton, and the University of
Pennsylvania, just across the Della
ware.
Another strong argument is the fact
that one-third of the teachers employ
ed in the counties which the school is
proposed to benefit are stationed in
Atlantic City and County, and because
of the fact that this section of the
State is absolutely without normal
school facilities, $40 of the ST. teach
ers employed in the city and county
schools are non-residents of New Jer-
sey. 1t would seem from these and
other facts of similar import that
Pleasantville's claims for the normal
school are based on a solid foundation,
and that the excellent work now under
way by a committee of the mainland
clty's most representative citizens is
fairly certain of being crowned with
success

graduates of mechanical schools. The
ordnance department offers to such
men a chance to specialize along the
lines of their Individual training. Pro-
motions to the grade of commissioned
officer are made on the merits of the
work done, and many enlisted men
have won this reward solely upon the
grounds Of the ability and training
they possessed.
Enlistments will be accomplished In
the usual manner and under the MILL
tary rules and regulations observed by
the recruiting offices in the United
