Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am mar
ried woman Is years old and would
like to know how to clean my face
of blackheads, as it is nearly covered
with them.
have tried massa ging, but it does
not help very much.
HEART AND HOME READER.
Try the green soap treatment for
a bad case of b1ackheads: Tincture
of green soap, two ounces; distilled
witch hazel, two ounces. Let this
mixture stay on only a few moments,
then wash off with hot water.
If the green soap irritates the skin,
as it sometimes will. use it every 9TH
er day. Apply a cold cream.
Green soap may be purchased at
any drug store. It is not a regular
cake" soap, but is of about the con-
sistency of custard.
Open each seed with the point OF
a fine cambria needle. The hardened
mass must be pressed or picked out
The empty sac of the gland should
then be bathed with little toilet
vinegar and water, or with a very
weak solution of carbolic acid. Ster-
ilize the needle before using it by
dipping into boiling water.
Probably a member of your family
can assist you in squeezing out the
blackheads. 1t is a little difficult to
do it to ones own face.

Did not think I could help you,
L should hesitate to distress you as
II must" Mr.. Frederick resumed
gravely. But 1 do think I can. So
must make things plain to you. Your
husband when he first decided to pro-
mote big schemes, did not. am sure,
intend to be dishonest either with
himself or his clients. But the lure of
big business caught him. Easy money
it is very hard to make big for
tunes in natural channels. hard, and
slow proposition, He was very
young. When he saw how easily peo-.
pie bite when they think they can
make big money with little; how
quickly and eagerly they swallowed
any idea that promised big returns
he commenced to look around for
properties which he could handle to
advantage in this way. Properties in
which there was of course an element
of risk for the client, none for him.
From that it was but a step to simply
ina ginning he had something to sell.
None of the people who put in their
money ever investigated; they were
satisfied to get the big interest he
paid them, and then to live on the
promises of immense profits. 1t was
a temptation. Forbes succur-bed to
it. 1 had been suspicious of some of
his deals for some time; but when L
found he had associated himself with

in the low salaries, and that the bu-
reau will never have an adequate
working force until congress permits
it to pay examiners more than the
present salary of s2,700 a year.
A patent examiner must have both
legal and technical knowledge. The
longer he remains in the service the
more expert and the more valuable
to the government he becomes. But
the patent office cannot keep its ex-
pert examiners. 1t is an ordinary oc-
currence for a young law student to
take a position as examiner for a few
years to gain experience, and then to
enter an industrial or commercial firm
as patent counsel at double his govern
ment salary.
How the patent office might be
made a great force for encouraging
invention is suggested by a plan for
a department of invention and dis
covery worked out by an examiner.
This department would contain a
bureau of information and education,
on inventions by bulletins, press re-
ports, and field agents. People would
be told what sort of inventions are
needed and what not to invent. Many
a man has wasted years of his life
over some Improbable invention, or
over a bit of apparatus that another
man had perfected and patented-long
before. The public would be made
familiar with inventors rights and
taught how to develop inventions in
the industrial field. Help of this sort
the present patent office has neither
time nor means to offer the public
Another bureau would concern itself
with the utility of inventions. Thomas
Jefferson assumed that an invention
was not practicable until he had seen
it work. Four hundred patent exam
liners, with sixty or seventy thousand
patents pending at once, have no time
for detailed study of each case, and
often are forced to assume that an
invention is practicable.
The utility bureau in the proposed
patent department would have labora-
tories and demonstration rooms. Its
work would be to test the usefulness
and working power of each invention,
and to report the result to the exa mi
ner of the case. This you'd save many
an inventor a SIS patent fee, and a
fruitless search for a market for his
patent. Other features of the depart
posed of specially qualified judges,
and field offices established in indus
trial centerS, which would contain
complete classified sets of patents for
the use of inventors and attorneys.
The importance of the patent office
as an institution is more fully realized
abroad than in this country. In Eng
land and in France, the comptroller OF
patents is a very important official;
while under the old German govern
ment the patent office head was next
in rank to the chancellor.
Before patent protection was insti-
tuted in the seventeenth century, in
ventors guarded their discoveries with
jealous secrecy, and often their inven-
lions died with them. Not until pro-
lection was assured to inventors did
| industry make rapid progress, and
now so closely is industry related to
patent procedure that if a nation S
| patent system becomes corrupted or
otherwise unsound the very founda-
| lions of it's industry are shaken.

Soldiers of the Rainbow division are
reported to have returned from France
enthusiastic advocates of universal
military training for America. This
sentiment is directly opposite that

ponents. 1t is the outcome of expert

weight to the fact that the members
of the Rainbow outfit were in the ma
tional guard before going into the fed
eral service. This is true, but the fact
that they come out of the trying or

with the need of training for all our
youth should strengthen rather than
weaken the value Of their opinion.

She hides her care beneath tender smile !;
She tolls long hours as tho 1t were JOY.
No greater art than this can man employ
To make a work Of beauty well worth

And hide, meath lovely touches, deft and

All signs of anxious. weary toll from

She wakes from sleep as one who has not
To smooth the pillow of her patients
Her voice conceals her secret thoughts
of dread;
She only knows the vigil she has kept.
Grim duty by her art is ROBBED in grace
And something lovely decks the common
place.
She'd count it failure should her patient
guess
That she is worried, overtired and faint
Or hear from her one whisper of COM

The true nurse must not show her own dis
In kindly ways and lovely she conceals
The WEAKNESS her spirit often feels.
She tolls as one who does not toll for hire
Does ugly service in a Queenly way,
As one who asks but gratitude for pay.
She keeps her post but never seems to tire.
She loves her work, yet such the art
thereof
She makes of it glorious work of love

THE BLIND MAN.

The blind mans life is largely vo-
cal. He sees with his voice. He
paints pictures with his words-and
then he sees them, himself.
The sympathy of the hardest heart
is touched in the most beautiful fash
ion. at the sight of a blind man. And
yet of all the people in the world,
sometimes / feel that the blind man
must experience something very won
derful and vitai-because he always
seems so happy.
Out of the darkness. the spirit of
the blind man gives utterance.
One day met a blind man coming
out of the building in which I work.
1 led him thru the streets for blocks.
and talked with him. And thru all
the passing throngs / took note that
saw no face SO bright or 50 lighted
as was his.
A blind man has what millions of
healthy-eyed people never gef-visfon.
There is a man living today in Eng
land, named Sir Arthur Pearson, who
during his life time. has risen to the
very top-notch as a great publisher
and as a power in London Journalism

At one time, he owned nearly twenty
publications. But he overworked-
and went blind. at the age of A years.
In middle-life, however. his wonderful
energy and worldwide feeling walks
Its way and he is now probably doing
more to alleviate and inspire the blind
than any other man in the world.
When Sir Arthur Pearson went
blind, he began to see, for the blind
man sees for others as well as for
himself
When l was in school, / remember
that 1 used to visit the home of
blind man and read to him for hours
The big memory that 1 carry now
from those years is this-that that
man always had a smile on his face
and that he never complained.
We who have eyes with which to
see--how blind we are, Let us begin
to see and let us begin TO do this right
now. Let us not lag. Let us take
five minutes at least. in which to sum
up how happy we ought to be with
eyes,-and feet, and arms, and a
straight back
And If we haven't all Of these
things. let us be glad for what we
have and work our way happily on
