FRECKLES
Now Is The Time To Get Rid OF
These Ugly Spots

Now Is The Time To Get Rid OF
These Ugly Spots
There's no longer the slightest
need of feeling ashamed of your
freckles, as Othine double strength
is guaranteed to remove these
homely spots.
Simply get an ounce of Othine-
double strength-from any drug
gist and apply little of it night and
morning and you should soon see that
even the worst freckles have begun
to disappear, while the lighter ones
have vanished entirely. 1t is seldom
that more than an 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 if it fails
to remove freckles. adv

Some Of the lawmakers, however,
registered objections to the specially
prepared program and assailed the
plan to change the tax law. They
cited the governors swing around
the circle" last spring when he
praised the measure, and also
pointed out that various statements
issued by State Chairman E. M. Was.
muth last winter had lauded the pro-
visions Of the law. The protestants
declared that the legislators had
been forced to go out and defend the
taxation measure after they had
adopted it and that they should not
be called upon now to amend 1t.
Although the governor had all OF
his bills ready to lay on the legisla-
tors desks the signs of growing re-
volt caused so much apprehension
among the managers for Senator
Watson and Mr. McCray that the call
was postponed until emissaries
could be sent out to whip the recalci.
trant members into line. There 10
no doubt but that the special session
will be entirely amenable to the will
of Governor Goodrich and the other
Old Guard leaders. but they are TAX

everything working properly before

Last Nights Dreams
What They Mean
DANCING.

TO TREAD THE May" ir shad-
l. owland; in other words to dream
Of dancing is, all the seers are agreed,
a good sign. Just to dream that you
are attending a dance fortells for you
success in love and that you Will have
many friends If, indeed, It does not
mean as many think, that you have
many now, even II you are not aware
IF ii. You had better join In the dream
dance, however, and not be merely an
onlooker; for to dream that you are
dancing yourself Is an omen Of many
other good things to come. However
if you dream that you simply watch
the others doing the mlnuet, fox-trot,
valse de court, two-step or other
terpsichorean exercise, 1t is not very
had-it only means that you have gone
10 bed tired. But to dream that you.
yourself. are dancing-then. indeed.
are things coming your way.
To begin with. there is the success
in love and friendship. II you are
unmarried, your sweetheart Is kind.
true, and will make you an excellent
wife. II you are married, the dance
OF dreamland means an increase I'm
the family. Also. all the authorities
agree that for the dream dancer, there
is a legacy impending. Some say q
legacy is probable" but most say
that IL Is sure. and magy declare that
II will come from an unexpected
source. To those In trade, the dream
dance means increased profits. and
from the present cost Of things IL IN
quite evident that many tradesmen
have dreamed this dream OF late.
To the sailor to dream OF dancing
foretells a pleasant and successful
voyage. and to one and all IL foretells
good news from a iong-absent friend.
or from a distant country. Just one
caution. Be careful how you dress
yourself for your dance Of dreams: for
IL you wear dancing tights. while all
the other good things may come to
you. you Will be temporarily short Of
money.
