HOW TO GET RID OF
FRECKLES AND TAN

Freckles are said to be great deal
like spots Of rust lodged in the skin.
They can be cleared up, but if the skin
is subject to them, the same exposure
to wind and sun will produce other
freckles unless one guards against
them.
Fortunately this is now easily done
since danthol tetrate came to be better
understood. This is simple and pleas
ant to apply, and the way it makes the
freckles fade from the skin is really
surprising. 1t is also safe and harm
less way Of removing tan and similar
discolorations Of the skin.
Get an ounce of danthol tetrate from
any Of the better known druggists.
The cost is small, and it is perfectly
pleasant and simple to use. Apply it
with the finger tips. The skin seems
to absorb it quickly. (Adv.)

GOVERNMENT APPOINTS LABOR ARBI-
TRAITOR FOR CHICAGO
&C. B. W.

John b. Lennon, treasurer Of the American
Federation OF Labor, was selected by the De-
partment of Labor, on April 26, as special arbi-
traitor in Chicago building trade disputes.
Jurlsdictional strikes have been common in
chicago, and as result, the government has
hesltated to undertake construction projects in
that city. 1t will be the duty of Mr.. Lennon,
who has been treasurer Of the American Fedora
ton OF Labor for nearly thirty years. and whose
home originally was in Bloomington, Illinois, to
use his influence in bringing about an agree-
ment which will prevent labor troubles Of this
kind in the future.
A statement issued by the Department of La
Dor says:
1t has been pointed out to the Department
OF Labor and to the war industries board that
large numbers of men are without EMPLOYMENT
IN Chicago, particularly in the building trades
and that there are many thousand vacant resi-
dences for the housing Of war workers, as well
as much available manufacturing space.
Hugh Reid, representative Of the depart
ment, who visited Chicago last week, reported
that there were upward Of $4,000 men in the
building trades at present idle He told repre-
sentatlves OF the various unions that while it
was the policy of the department to end the
system of drafting labor resources from one
section of the country for work in other local.
ties, nevertheless there were certain factors in
the Chicago labor situation which made the de-
partment hesitate to recommend any larger I'M
dertakings there.
Various labor leaders with whom he con-
ferred indicated willingness to submit their
internal disputes to governmental arbitration
AS result Of his report Mr. Lennon has been
assigned to attempt some agreement by which
the unions will sign joint agreement to abide
by the decisions of government arbitrators dur
ing the term of the war;
