UnsighHy and Disfiguring Signals
of Bad Blood.

Don't close your eyes to the
warning which nature gives, when
unsightly pimples appear on your
face and other parts of the body.
Not only are these piInples and
splotches disfiguring, but they lead
to serious skin diseases that spread
and cause the most discomforting
irritation and pain. Sometimes
they foretell Eczema, boils, bis
tiers. scaly eruptions and other an
noyances that burn like flames of
fire and make you feel that your
skin is ablaze.
When these symptoms appear
on any part of the body, take
prompt steps to rid the blood OF

Many Letters Received.

Many Letters Received.
Letters protesting against prof.
teering methods in the District are
pouring into committee members
with every mail As yet. Senator
Sherman stated, no large civic or
other city organization has made
any protest but he stated he ex-
pected such protests would come be-
fore the investigation had gotten
very far.
The two main items which the
committee intends to rigidly investi-
gate. Senator Sherman said. are
rentals and the cost of food. The
committee will not attempt any
other side-line Investigations but
will confine itself strictly to these
items.
The salisbury resolution. which
was intended to stop profiteering In
rents. will be the subject of an in
vestigation along with the Pome-
rene measure and other similar acts
introduced in Congress. Rental
values in New oYrk. Philadelphia.
Boston. Baltimore. Norfolk. Savan-
nah. Pittsburgh and many other
Eastern cities will be compared
with those of Washington.
Investigation Postponed.
The investigation which should have
started yesterday was postponed un-
ill next Mondey because the Depart
nent Of Commerce had not yet tabu-
lated its figures i'm a form suitable
to the committee.
Senator sherman stated that he was
of the opinion that il the Bureau de-
cided to sell it's surplus supplies. the
sales would be so conducted that
there would be little or no temptation
on the part Of the big food combine
to overbid. and thereby corner the
market on these particular products
The sales, he intimated, would be
in reasonably small quantities, such
as would not tend to Glut the market
OF allow too much of one kind of a
product to be on the market at once
in any one locality
There is no way. Senator Sherman
said. to prevent. in competitive bid
ding. the inToads of the big packers
and provision merchants If they were
really intent on keeping UP prices.
The Bureau would be forced to sell
to the highest and most satisfactory
bidder for any or all Of the product
marketed when it was offered for sale.
Therefore these sales. when made.
will be conducted in the interests Of
the consumer rather than the concern
able to buy up and hold the different
food products.

A large crowd was present and en-
ioyed very much the various scenes
represented so impressively In the
spectacular pageant given at the Bap-

objects that are fostered by the South

these millions are to be expended.
Foreign missions, home missions,
state missions, christian education,
orphanages, ministerial aid and hos
pitfalls were all represented. Mrs.
Leo Daniel, assisted by Mrs. Y. M.
Lyons, is to be congratulated on the
success Of the entertainment. Each
scene deserves special mention and

children, but all was excellently ren-
dered.

PROVED SPIRIT :.
OF DEMOCRACY
Voluntary Basis Of Food Saving
Showed Heart Of America
Beat True for Freedom.

10 TIE voluntary service and sacri.
Zee of the American people must be
attributed the continued health,
strenf h and morale Of the Allied ar
miles and the civil populace.
Upon this spirit Of service and sac,
rifice will depend Europe's fate in tn
months to come. In the past year " !,
have carried out an export program
the magnitude Of which Is almost b.
yond comprehension. But with t.
new demands that have come, viii
the liberation Of atoms freed from
German oppression, our exports must
be almost doubled. Instead Of IL $40
600 tons, we must ship twenty million
tons Of food to Europe in the coming
year-as much as can be pushed
through our ports.
II the Allies had not been fed by
America, 1t would have been 'mpos
sibie for them to maintain their de-
tense against Germany.
Meeting this world need on q purely
voluntary basis. the American people
have conclusively proved that damoc
racy IL a success ana that In time OF
need It will rise to it's own defense.
II there were no other accomplish
ment to Its credit the very fact that y
has shown the strength Of democracy
has IN Itself more than justified the
existence Of the Food Administration
In the eyes Of the world.
Less than four months after the
United States declared war the United
States Food Administrator expressed
his determination to meet America :
food problem on baris Of voluntary
action and reiterated his confidence
that awakened democracy would prove
Irresistible.
"Many thinking Americana" sal!
Mr.. Hoover, land the whole works
have been watching anxiously the last
four months In the fear that demo
cratic America could not organize to
meet aut0crat,c Germany. Germany
has been conf1t' mt that 1t could not he
done. Contra, proof is Immediately
nj our door, ell our people have a.
ready <iemonsir ited their ability te
mcbt'sze, organize, endure and prepare
voluntarily and efficiently In many di
rections and upon the mere word Of
Inspiration aside from the remarkable
assel.blage Of our Army and finances
The history Of the Food Adninistra
ton has clearly shown that the trust
ut those who put their faith in denloc
racy HIS not been misplaced.

SAVE 100000 BUSHELS
OF WHEAT THAT FORMERLY
WAS LOST IN THRESHIMG
Farmers, Urged by Food Administers
tion, Provide Seven Extra Loaves
Of Bread for Every American.

BY adopting cleaner threshing meth
DDS and by literally ccmbing harvest
fields to gather grain formerly vast
ed. threshermen and farmers Of the
United States this year saved fully
10000, 900 bushels OF wheat, estimated
as equivalent to about seven one-pound
loaves OF bread for every person In
the country. This result, accompanied
by corresponding savings Of hurley,
oats. rye and other grains, is shown by
reports from 20 grain states to the U,
s. Food Administration. Other states,
although not prepared to furnish def
mite figures Of conservation In the
grain fields, report greatly reduced
harvest losses.
This rural food saving achievement,
accomplished in scarcely six months
time, was In direct response to re-
quests by the Food Administration,
which asked farmers and thresiierInen
to reduce harvest losses from about
3N per cent.--the estimated average
In normal times--to the lowest posi-
BILE minimum. Country grala thresh
ing committees carried into every
grain growing community the official
recommendations for accomplishing
the results desired.
In numerous instances drivers OF
racks with leaky bottoms were sent
from the fields to repair their equip
ment and frequently bad order thresh'
ing machines were stopped until the
cause Of waste was removed. But In
proportion to the number OF persons
engaged in gathering the nations grain
crop. cases Of compulsIon were com'
paratively rnre. The Food Admins
traitor freely attributes the success Of
the grain threshing campaign to pa
triotic service by farmers, thresher
men and their crews. incidentally
grain growers Of the United States are
many millions Of dollars I'm pocket
az Q result Of the grain saved.
