How to Remove Easily.

Here s a chance, Miss Freckle-faee,
to try remedy for freckles with the
guarantee of a reliable concern that it
viii not cost you a penny unless it
removes the freckles; while if it does
give you clear complexion the ex-
pense is trifiing.
Simply get an ounce of Othinc-
double strength-from any druggist
and few applications should show
you how easy it is TO rid yourself of
the homely freckles and get a beauti-
full complexion. Rarely is more than
one ounce needed for the worst ease.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength Othine as this strength
lis sold under guarantee of money back
if it fails to remove freckles.-Adv.

"Yes, and now that we talk about
them. it makes me very hungry. Look
children, here comes some flies and

So the frogs copied Grandpa Frog
as he stayed very still, even letting
the bug get right on his nose, but
then he snapped him up and ate him
down and his eyes looked bigger than
ever as he said:
"Ah, that was a good bug, a most
delicious bug. How people can like

eat bugs. is quite beyond me-"
Il guess the ice cream and cake is
beyond you," said one of the little
frogs. "They never have it in the

Frog, "but | know that people like

brought ice cream in a pail, with ice

it and enjoyed it just as l enjoy bugs
And now I must give you lessons
in how to catch bugs and flies, where
to find them, and how to see that
they don't get away from YOU
SO Grandpa Frog gave lessons il
the art of bug catching and fly catch
ing, and the little frogs had the bes

had so many bugs and flies to eat
while learning how to catch them.
And Grandpa Frog, as he laugh
them, saw many a bug which looked

The situation with which the Valley
Fair association is confronted at the
present time is one that needs prompt
attention whether or not the fair itself
is to be continued. AS has been stated
already in The Reformer, there has been
only a moderate response to the cam
paign for the sale of stock in the new
corporation organized a few months
ago to take over the grounds and build
ings. This no doubt is due in part to
the fact that the campaign has not been
pushed as actively as it ought TO have
active effort along this line difficult il
not wholly inadvisable. However that
NAV be. the time has come when tn,
lpresent fair directors have a right t
say that they must know definitely ane
Immediately whether the necessary fl
naneial backing Is to be forthcoming
If there is to be a fair this fall prepar
lations for it should be put under way q
once. but it would be foolish for tn
directors to start these preparation
without knowing that sufficient stool
has been subscribed to make possibl
taking over the property still in tn
hands Of the old corporation and incur
ring the expense necessary in othe
WAYS.

The arguments in favor of continu-
ing the Valley Fair are the same now
as they were when the new association
was formed and there is no occasion for
rehearsing them in detail It may he
well, however, TO point out that there
can be no further delay in reaching
some sort Of a decision. The indebted
ness of the old association. amounting
TO approximately $4,000, is secured by
note signed bv its directors who have
right 10 demand that they be relieved
of this personal liability, either by the
purchase of the property by the new
corporation for an amount sufficient Il

gage to secure themselves from personal
loss. Therefore, it is squarely up to The
people Of this and surrounding towns t.

and eventually sold to meet its debts.

A committee of Orangeburg citizens
has waited on the Mason County
Board of Education asking that the
county board lend their assistance to
a project to build at Orangeburg in
the very near future a new Consoli-
dated School building.
The building now being used at Or
angeburg is wholly inadequate and the
people in that district have fine lot
of youngsters and in every way first
class school except the building.
1t is understood that a company will
be organized in the Orangeburg Sec
ton Immediately and that plans will
be started in the very near future to
vote a special tax in that district to
pay for transportation. If the people
of the Orangeburg neighborhood show
they want new building such as 9TH
er districts of the county now have,
there is no doubt but that the County
Board of Education will lend them
their support. ~

SPECIAL DAYS TO
Be OBSERVED IN
CHURCH and SCHOOL
Friday, Saturday and Sunday Set
Aside as Special Christmas Seal
Days In the Nation.

Washington, d. c., December g.
Surgeon General Rupert Blue has is
sued an appeal to observe Christmas
Seal Day in the schools and in all
places of worship in the United States,
December 5, 6. and Z. The Surgeon
General who is deeply concerned with
the spread of tuberculosis in the
United States calls upon the people of
the country to buy Red Cross Christ
mas Seals and to aid in the fight being
conducted by the National tuberculosis
Association against the white plague.
A great lack of hospital beds for
"consumptives" is reported by the As
sociation in statement issued today.
In many communities in the United
States, it is said, not only is there a
shortage of hospital facilities, but
there are no beds at all for such
cases.
The Red Cross Christmas Seal, it is
pointed out, will be a big factor in
solving this problem, for the nation
wide campaign is to be financed by the
sale Of more than 65O,OOO,OOO seals,
which started December l.
Baltimore, Maryland, has figured out
her yearly economic loss from tuber-
culosis to be $3,269,67O.
This conclusion is arrived at by A.
E. Sinks, Executive Secretary of the
Maryland tuberculosis Association.
The Maryland organization is one of
the 1000 states and local societies af-
filiated with the National tuberculosis
Association, now directing the Red
Cross Christmas Seal Sale to raise
$6.500,O00, which began December /.
Kentuckys share of this fund is $780,
