One Way to Advertise.

Some years ago q New York firm manufacturing paper water cups got on its legs because of laws in New York and New Jersey prohibiting use of public drinking cups. The firm dis tributed its wares by messenger and wagon. Money came rolling in. Then came the automobile era, and this firm bought number of delivery trucks to expedite it's growing busi- ness. The war came, and it didn't stop the drinking of water and the chance of germs. The influenza cpl demic, in fact, was boon for the pa per cup manufacturer. It is noted that this manufacturer is now sending five-ton trucks around the city with his wares. A cargo of paper cups cannot weigh more than POO pounds, but it looks we'll on a five-ton giant. There may be a waste of energy, but 1t pays to advertise and, above all. 1t pays to advertise properly-W Street Journal.

JEWETT CITY

Many Of the returned soldiers from France have brought home valua ble souvenir collections which include he1- metS, gas masks. gun shells and weapons of various sorts. In some cases these articles were taken from German prisoners and even from dead soldiers found lying beside the road. There is one collection which has been made by many who stayed at home it is the~fvaluabfe collection of 1itho- graph war posters H. c. Webster and Miss Mabel Wilcox have collections, and with the arrival of 12 new ones from the publicity bureau of the U. $. marine enlistment department in New York and from the WET savings stamp department in Boston. E. H. Hiscox has almost a complete set of the is- now quoted as of considerable value, principally because no one thought of saving them al first, when this method was adopted to boom the Liberty loans. MT. HiScox'S collection includes the five Liberty loans, Salvation Army drive, food administration, Near East relief, marine enlistment, Knights of Columbus drive. Boy Scout boom, war savings stamps adv, four editions, Y. M. c. A., united charities. Red Cross drive, student nurse appeal, fuel ad- ministration, children's year posters, united war work campaign and public information. One item of especial in- terest is to note how the artistic beau ty was heightened as the number of loans and drives increased, until some of the later ones. F1agg, Christy, Cof- fn, McCauley. Hester and Whitehead are handsome works of art. This col lection is complete with the exception of one in the third Liberty loan. There was but one posted here, and that was in Dearnley & Clafk's window and was a large eagle with wings outspread guarding the troops which marched below. Nobody herea bouts has one of these.

To Overcome Redness,
 Tan, Freckles, BIotches

If your skin is unduly reddened, tanned or freckled just dab a little pure mercoEzed wax on the face and allow it to remain over night When you wash off the wax in the morning. fine, aaky. almost invisible particles of cuticle come with it. Repeating this daily the entire outer skin is absorbed but so gradually and gently there's not the slightest hurt inconvenience Even the stubbornest freckles are af- fected- The underlying skin which forms the new complexion is so clear fresh and youthful looking. you'll mar vel 1t the transformation. It's the only thing known to actually discard an aged, faded, muddy or blotchy com plexion. One ounce of mercolized wax procurable at any drug store, is suffi- cient in most cases.

Interchurch Drive
For Millions Due
To Five Leaders
Chiefs of Various Organiza-
tons Combine Forces
and Pool Interests for
Three Protestant Faiths

Hardly anybody interested or en-
gagged In raising funds for church
movements nowadays ever thinks in
less .han eight tigures-S75, 900. 900 for
the Presbyte:ians. 1oo,ooo.ooo 20. the
Baptists, colossal sums for the Episco-
palians and so on.
For this five men are more or les.
responsible. They placed church Civ
ing on an organized basis. They are
Dr.. S. Earl Taylor. secretary OF :he
Methods: Board of Foreign Missions;
DR.. John R. Mott, Of the Y NJ. G. A,
Dr.. Hubert c. Herring. Dr.. Fred Hag-
gard. of the Baptist Board o. Foreign
Missions. and F. W. Aver, Baptist
layman and advertising man of Phila-
delphia.
Because Of their achievements in
raising gigantic sums they have come
to be known as the big Five Of
Professionalism" in America, and now
have combined to conduct the greatest
movement OF al1-the Interchurch
World Movement.
DR.. Taylor, who is forty-six years
old and native of Iowa, went through
all the stages of becoming a Methodist
minister, except the ordination His
doctorate is literary degree
Studied Motifs Methods
After studying the methods of Dr.
Mott, of the Y. NJ. C. A., a pioneer in
gigantic fund raising for religious and
welfare purposes, he undertook, under
a commission from DR.. John F. Goucher,
the wealthy Methodist leader Of Balti-
more, to bring togo Their, at Cleveland,
Methodist leaders and adopt a stand
ardized system Of church giving.
Eighty-ive million dollars was fixed
as the financial goal Of that move
ment, and it was achieved, although
bishops and others shook their heads
obviously.
Plans and ideas adopted then at the
instance of Dr.. Taylor were borrowed
by other religious organizations. and
the result was the recent series Of
gigantic and successful financial CAM
paigns for various post war and re-
construction purposes.
Five Leaders Combine
Now, the five men chiefly instru-
mental in carrying those movements
to success have come together, and
with the same tactics and still! larger
aims, propose to carry through the
lnterchurch World Movement. >Epis-
copal heads are again nodding doubt
fully, but their owners nevertheless
are falling into line. The primary pur.
pose of the new movement is to carry
out a joint programme Of Protestant
denominations throughout the world.
Dr. Taylor is the secretary and main
spring. Mr.. Aver is chairman, with
DR.. Mott at the head Of the executive
committee. Practically all the chief
workers in former movements, includ.
ing college presidents, missionary ex.
ecutives and clergymen, are also
placed.
Headquarters, originally established
in Fifth Avenue, spread into Fourth
Avenue and then into Broadway. II
the various offices plans are being
worked out, and with the end of sum.
mer there will be launched, it is as.
serted, the greatest interchurch cam.
paign ever conceived.

Restaurant Man Claims Near.
Poverty, but Court Lets Old
AlimOny Order Stand

Despite the fact that an affidavit by
George W. Rector, the restaurateur.
filed recently in the suit for divorce
brought by his wife, Mrs. Bertha f.
Rector, states that his income is now
but $1,000 per annum, a final decree in
favor of Mrs. Rector. handed down yes
terday by Supreme Court Court Justice
MoAvoy, directs him to pay his former
wife the sum of $3.50 monthly.
Rector failed to pay referee ap-
pointed by the court to determine what
alimony he ought to pay Mrs. Rector.
In view Of this the court decided that
the amount named for monthly pay
ment pending trial should stand in the
final decree. 1t was learned that the
referee would have recommended that
Mr. Rector pay only 500 monthly.
Rector claims that since Rectors,
Inc, discontinued the use Of his name
last year his income has been small.
His contract gave him one-third in
terest in Rector's so long as bia name
was used.

claimants were close personal friends
or the iinancier, and that Captain De
Lamar either had made investments or
advised them what stocks to buy. The
heiress said, according to Spence, that
her father intended to make good any
losses that his friends sustained be-
cause of following his advice.
Representatives Of Columbia and
Harvard universities, which, with Johns
Hopkins University, are residuary leg
atees Of the estate, from whose inter-
ests the money being sued for will
come if the plaintiffs are successful,
attended the hearing.
William Nelson Cromwell, one OF the
executors Of the estate. also attended.
Spence's statement quoted Cromwell as
declaring that Captain De Lamar had
been actuated in dealings with the
claimants solely by the desire to help
them make little extra money.
Captain De Lamar left an estate of
$50, 100000, and he could not possibly
have had the slightest persnal benefit
from these transactions, insignificant
in comparison with his affairs" the
Spence statement quotes Mr.. Cromwell
as saying. "They related solely to
half dozen parties whom he gener-
ously desired to benefit.
Tangible Proof Necessary
ut was the duty of the executors to
require adequate proof of the guar
antees or assurance which they say
had been given. AS soon as they estab-
lish these assurances the accounts will
be paid just as the captain himself
would have paid them"
Captain De Lamar left between $1O,-
o0o, 900 and s1b,ooo,oo0 to Columbia,
Harvard and Johns Hopkins.
Mr.. Spence, as we'll as the claim
ants, expressed regret at the publicity
