- HE persecution of the Armenians
by the Moslems has come at reg
ular intervals for many centuries.
lin recent years these ~onslaughts
on this Christian people have attracted
the attention of the entire Christian
world and protests have been made
and measures adopted to prevent the
repetition of the dastardly assaults.
The willy Turk has always invented
some pretext for his crime and has
been prolific in his promises of good
behavior, but his treacherous nature
combined with the bigotry n intoler-
nee of his religion has always found
some way to resume his prosecutions.
During the present war the Arme-
mans, innocent of n wrong doing,
were the victims of Moslem deviltry
far more relentless and extensive than
any exhibition of harsh treatment in
the past. All eyes turned to the Unit
ed States for aid and collections were
made for the immediate relief of the
refugees. 1t has been seriously sug-
gested that in the settlement of the !
many problems growing out of the
war that the unfortunate Armenians

Early History
The early history of these people is
especially interesting, for Mount Ar
arat, where Noah's Ark went aground,
is in the center of their land. The |
Armenians trace their ancestry back
to Haig or Haik, the grandson of
Japhet. His descendant Aram, who
was called Armenia by the Persians,
gave to the ace their ~name-Arme-
mans. Their country at hat time ex-
tended over fifty thousand square
miles and they paid tribute to a line
of kings and boosted of a civilization
and culture far above the neighbor-
ing countries and over a thousand
years before Christ they were a dis
tinctly Armenian people.

Women everywhere want to look

skin. fixes rings in her nose, while
the example of present day beauty IN
a civilized woman is soft. velvety
skin and radiant complexion.
To attain beautiful skin, sticky
greasy face creams, lotions, powdl-
ers or rouge should not be used. Such
cosmetics only serve to temporarily
hide or mask the unsightlv skin.
You can remove pimples, insect
bites, freckles. tan, sunburn and make
your dark, sallow, muddy complexion
white, smooth and sole by the use
of the Black and White Beauty Treat,
ment, which consists Of Ointment and
Soap. The Ointment is used at
night-washed off the next morning.
It is different from cosmetics be-
cause it takes of or removes SKIN
blemishes-does not cover or hide
them.
Both Black and White Ointment
