inspiring address. recounting the con-
ditions in Russia and elsewhere as
he actually saw them, The loose
methods of the Russian government,
the suffering in Armenia. Russia,
Rumania and other countries, were
described by him. He urged the Red
Cross TO carry on its work, to, con-
tinue in the same manner as before.

Older Order Passing
Looking on the bright side of the
terrible conflict he said: with the
termination of the war must come
the realization of many of the ideals
of freedom and democracy that We're
deep seated in the hearts of the
founders of our Republic and it
seems providential that America has
been called to go forth to share the
best of these ideals and TO help carry
them to the ends OF the world. Such
a realization is only possible through
a changing world shaken to its foun-
dations as it is to-day. But there is
another thing which must come out
of this contest. The administration
OF our boasted liberty has not 1pnc-
toned with perfectness, but as a
teacher learns most by teaching, may
we. as we try to impart the ideals
that America was founded to pro-
pagate, learn to interpret more truly
our own freedom and to realize in
America the very things for which
America came into being.
THE old order is passing. A new
and brighter day is just ahead. Let
us make that day so much more per-
feet than our own that future gener-
ations will look back with pride and
thank sgiving to this generation, hor-
rible though the Inheritance seems to
be, as not only one of the great times
in which to have lived, but as one

Every one envies a beautiful skin
just as every one envies a healthy
person.
Unsightly faces filled with pimples,
discolorations, blackheads, etc, are
nothing but unhealthy faces due to
blood impurities. Cleanse the blood
and the facial blemishes disappear.
You must not believe that drugs
and salves will stop facial blemishes.
The cause is impure blood filled
with all manner of refuse matter.

and clear the blood, driving out all
poisons and impurities. And you'll
never have a good complexion until
