HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
BIZ MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: Some time
ago you published a recipe in your
column for blackheads in the face. I
would like to try it and would appre-
ciate it very much If you would pub
lish it once more.
A CONSTANT READER.
To cure blackheads make an ONT
ment of one ounce of soap liniment
and one ounce of ether; mix. At night
scrub the face thoroly with hot water.
using a complexion or other soft
brush. After wiping, apply the mix
ture to each of the spots and let it re-
main on over night. Wash, off in the
morning with hot water. Continue
until the spots have disappeared.
Then twice a week wash the face with
this mixture, removing the liquid at
once by rinsing with clear water. If
there are large pores, wipe over each
with a little alcohol,

In deciding to raise the fund re-
CURED for the erection of a soldiers
memorial by bond issue and taxation,
4 at all, the citizens and soldiers in
terested in the matter have decided
wisely and well. Time and again the
State Journal has set forth the injus-
tce and unfairness of the subscription
plan of raising money for public uses.
Whatever the public~wants and needs
and feels willing to pay for should be
paid for by an assessment levied in
just proportion to what each citizen
las. The numerous drives for funds
to carry on war work thru which To-
reka has gone in the past two years
Will illustrate the inequality of that
method of raising money. Many in
fluenced by patriotic fervor or fear OF
what the neighbors might say have
given more than they could afford and
out of all proportion to the contri-
buttons of some of their Weather
ncighbors. The hold-up method of
obtaining money should be abandoned
f,r all time. If anything be of public
benefit It should be paid for by the
entire community, each member con-
tributing his due proportion as desig-
mated by legally constituted authority
and not by committee.

REAL STRENGTH,

REAL STRENGTH.
There are days when skies are sunny,
there are days when skies are gray,
There are times when JOY and laughter
seem TO lead us on our way,
Then the clouds begin to gather, and the
doubts and fears arise,
And the tehrs Of grief and sorrow dim the
happiest Of eyes.
Oh, it's then you need your courage and
it's then you must depend
On your faith In God above you TO sustain
you TO the end.
You can live your days Of sunshine all I'M
aided and alone,
You can share with men the pleasures and
the treasures that you own.
You can whistle CHEEKY snatches of some
gay and lifting song
When the sun Is high above you aud
there's nothing much that's wrong.
But when darkness settles round you and
when death Is at the door.
Man has not the strength to give you that
your soul is crying for
when the world is at Its brightest life's
an easy thing to live.
From the store of mortal gladness we can
take and we can give.
But ] notice when burdens secm too
much for us TO bear
Then We seek divine assistance by the ave-
nue. of the prayer,
And We calmly face our trials and We
suffer every test
II the voice of faith shall tell us that
whatever 10, is best

1t is being suggested. as one of the
principal causes of the delay in the
building program, that money is not
easily obtainable. Usually there is an
abundance of money seeking invest
ment, provided the interest rate be
satisfactory. If loan companies de-
cline to accept business at existing
rates probably it is because taxes are
so high as to make the transaction I'M
profitable. A 6 per cent mortgage in
Shawnee county pays less than 4 per
cent net. We cannot hope to make
much progress in Kansas as long as
the policy of taxing real estate mort
cages prevails.

some sort of a league to prevent

the contending parties. Nobody is
convinced by war or by a strike.

OUR CHRISTMAS EDITION

Following a custom that has been
established many years, the Sheaf
publishes its Christmas edition this
week so as to give merchants and
shoppers an opportunity to benefit
from the Christmas announcements.
We call special attention to the adj
vertisements in this issue. They are
an important part Of the paper. Study
the advertisements carefully and be
guided by them in making your. pur-
chases for the holidays. You will find
in them many suggestions that will be
helpful to shoppers and will save them
money. Patronize the business men
who advertise in the Sheaf because
they are enterprising and reliable and
will back up their advertisements with
the goods every time .
4 Make it point, also, to do your
Christmas buying early. You will then
be able to make the best selections,
before stocks are broken up or perhaps
sold out, and you will make it easier
for the clerks who often are over
worked just before Christmas.
Another suggestion that we will
make in connection with this mention
Of our Holiday edition and is IS this:
Send the Sheaf one year as Christmas
gift to a friend or relative back home",
and let the subscription start with the
Christmas number.
