Two Bits of Sentiment.

"If ye break faith with us who die
we shall not sleep in Flanders fields"
There is much tender sentiment in
two suggestions going the rounds of
woman's clubs. One is that patch Of
red peoples be sown in every garden
next spring in memory of the millions
dead. The other is that the heart
searching appeal, I'm Flanders Fields"
and "America's answer" be printed in
large type, framed and permanently
displayed in every schoOIhouse. Moth
ing could do more TO vivify the great
moral and patriotic lesson of the war
for old and young than adoption of
these ideas-Toledo Blade.

SKIN ERUPTlONS ON THE FACE

are unsightly and mar the appearance
of many a woman whose face would
be otherwise attractive. There is no
need for this. Just get box of Tet-
terine and use it regularly and you will
be surprised how quickly pimples,
blotches, itchy patches, etc, disappear
and how. soft and clear the skin be-
comes. Nothing better for eczema and
other skin troubles than Tetterine.

just beginning to advertise their wares

Steves will give these advertising
pamphlets over to the State Historical

in an old fashioned carpet bag which
was the travelling bag of half a CEN

The Westinghouse air brake was in
