that live in all oceans; then there are

her nervousness disappeared.

NOW Is the Ilme 70 Oct Nld OF These UgIy OpOts
There's no longer the slightest need of feeling
ashamed of your freckles, as Othine--doub1e
strengths guaranteed to remove these homely
spots.
Simply get an ounce of Othne-doub1e
strength-from your druggist, and apply little
of it night and morning and you should see
that even the worst freckles have begun to dis
appear while the lighter ones have vanished en-
tirely. 1t is seldom that more than ounce
is needed to completely clear the skin and gain
a beautiful clear complexion.
Be sure to ask for the double strength Othine,
as this is sold under guarantee of money back

right again. He had not made as
much money out of his inventions
as he hoped, but he had accumulat-
ed a comfortable competence OF
IA million dollars. He had not
received all the credit that he de-
served. but the original Diesel en-
gine was installed in the place of
honor in the handsome new build
ings of the Munich Museum and he
had just given to the museum all his
drawing and models.
Against the rumor that he is still
alive in England Is the fact that 1t
is the Germans and not the British
who, during war. as we'll as before,
made greatest use of his inventions.
AS for the remaining hypothesis,
that he was killed or kidnapped by
order of the German government,
that rests upon no flrmer founda-
ton than our natural inclination to
ascribe any deviltry to the Germans
and the fact that If Diesefs inven-
tive genius had baen transferred
to the other side 1t would have been
worth more than an army corps to
the Allies.-The Independent.
