FRECKLES
Now l. the Time to Get Rid Of These Ugly Spot

There's no longer the slightest need Of
feeling ashamed of your freckles, as the pre-
scription othine-double strengths guar
anteed to remove these homely spots.
Simply get an ounce of othine-double
streng ngth-from your druggist, and apply a
little of it night and morning and you should
soon see that even the worst freckles have
begun to disappear, while the lighter ones
have vanished entirely. It is seldom that
more than ounce is needed to completely
clear the skin and gain a beautiful clear
complexion
Be sure to ask for the double strength 9TH

! It is said that only about one-third
of our population realizes the urgency
! for conserving fOodstuffs, and that the
rest of our people must he brought to
understand the situation. There is
shortage of food in Europe and this
must be met or the fear of famine will
demOralize the people of our allies.
Europe looks to the United States and
Canada to make up the shortage-we
cannot afford to fail.
Very poor people conserve food
through necessity, but only a small
part of our population can be classed
as very poor. The rich and the we'll
to-do must save the kinds of food
needed by our allies-namely, wheat,
fats and sugar. This is no real hard
ship and it is more than likely that
eating less meat and less sugar will be
! beneficial to the health of Americans.
The conservation Of food depends upon
women more than upon men. It Is
their most important work toward win
ming the war.
About three hundred representative
New York women met recently under
the leadership Of Miss Florence Warde-
well, who represented the United
States food administration in Washing
ton. 1t was proposed to inaugurate
a system of voluntary rationing to be
carried out by the well-todO and rich
in our country. A ration card has
been issued and appears here. Every
patriotic woman should adopt il for
her own household and use her influ-
ence to induce others to do so. Here
is a definite form of patriotism that
will help win the war"

NEW YORK. oct Long before

counter offensive ON the Marne. the

serves had been exhausted. This is
shown by a Wolff Bureau dispatch

"The great victory Of the crown

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.-Con-
struction of great raw materials re-
serve by the allied nations is now un-
der way to pave the way for a just
and lasting peace.
Kaiser wilhelm recently declared
that the great crisis in the west de-
pended upon which side mustered
most quickly and adequately its re-
serves-but he didn't figure on raw
materials.
When the war is over. the side with
the reserves-gold, food. coal, iron.
steel cotton. wool and clothing-will
be the power to determine the peace
OF the world, officials here declare.
Plan international Board.
The United States government IS
now taking steps to acquire that re-
serve. Raw materials may be pooled
after the war, as now, to insure
against another outbreak OF Hohen-
zollernism. If the war fails to drive
that blood monarch from the throne.
An international priorities board
will determine what nations shall re-
ceIve first benefits OF these raw ma
terials. 1t will take care that the
weak and helpless country first Is al /
lowed to revive its strength. that it
may not be suddenly overwhelmed |
while convalescent, by a nation whose 1
military strength has survived the
war and whose greed for expansion /
has not been tempered
The foundation for this board could
be the international organization al
ready developing to direct distribu-
tion OF pooled allied war supplies for
fighting forces. The outcome OF ths
war win determine whether Germany
Is a party to the board.
Finance Board TOO.
There is a movement afoot to es-
tablish an international resrve board
TO maintain financial stability through
the period OF reaction that inevitably
viii follow the war. This oTganlza-
tion would operate to maintain bal
ance OF gold among nations after the
war even as the federal reserve board
now maintains balance Of credit
and currency in the United States.
Through these two great interna-
tlonaI instrumentalities as much as
though an armed league OF nations.
fade treaties could be maintained
openly. secret pacts could not wen
survive, and no nation could hoard
war supplies and build up a predomi-
mating mllitarism without full knowl-
edge and restraint Of its sister ma

would be rendered absolutely lasting

PETITION OF JAMES

4 decision was rendered on Thurs

sion. in the case of the application Of
James j. Druery, former employee
of the State in the department of
superintendent of public buildings,
for compensation for injuries re-
ccived on Feb. 26, 1915, denying the
same.
Mr.. Druery by the evidence pre-
scented was n porter at the State
House on duty a. night. on the day
of injury. lie fell down the elevator

was confined TO his home and went

Chairman Dutton reviews tie case
at length in his decision and con-
cludes as follows:
"Jn Wow of Mr.. Druery's own testi-
nony. in which he does not show
that he suffers pain to an extent to
ircapacitate him for performing such
ordinary light work that he has oc-
casionally performed since he retired
as blac, ninth in 1912, and coupled
with the substantial agreement of all
the physicians as to the essential
merits of the case, after giving due
allowance for the spirit of contention
that was disclosed on non-essentials
during a part Of the trial. the chair
man finds as 4 fact that the claim
ant is not now suffering from an in
jury which disables or incapacitates
him from performing work suited to
his age.
Admitting all Mr.. Druery's testi-
nlony TO be true and balancing his
physicians admission against his
assertions Of fact and without con
siderjnS the opinion Of the other two
physicians. the chairman finds that
the claimant has not sustained the
burden Of proof that he las suffered
or is now suffering disability which
entities him TO compensation Add
to that the testimony Of the two com
petent physicians that they were able
to find no reason why Mr.. Druery
could not perform the work to which
he has confined himself since his re-
tirement and the petition must be
dismissed.
