Sun and Wind Bring Out Ugly Spots.
How to Remove Easily.

Here's a chance, Miss Freckle face, to
try remedy for freckles with the guar
|antee of reliable concern that it will
not cost you a penny unless it removes
the freckles; while If it does give you a
clear complexion the expense is -trffing.
Simply get an ounce Of othine- double
strength-from any druggist and few
applications should show YOU how. easy
it is to rid yourself Of the homely freek
les and get a7$beautiful tdnlplexion,
Rarely is more than one ounce needed for
the worst case.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength Othine as this strength
is sold under guarantee~of money back
if it fails to remove freckles.

rumor that Governor Clement had cam

Mr.. HERRING's EXPLANATION.

Mr.. Herring's explanation Of the
manner in which IDS name came to
be upon the directorate Of the anti
suffrage association seems to open
opportunity to the common criti-
cisms Of those who permit their
names to be used upon letterheads of
companies as directors, ETC.. without
serious consideration of the use
which may be mads OF the company
or organization. He explains that his
name may be OF. letterheads Of
which he knows very little.
Now that becomes serious mat
ter when man Is governor Of Iowa
and his name appears on the letter
head OF an oil promotion, company
and letters are written regarding
prospects who may be induced to
part with their good money. We
have lately learned so much and Mr.
Herring's supporters. have not failed
to make the most OF it. They havn't
made too much. Tho inference to be
drawn thence are serious and affect
government and Administrations.
Mr.. Herring and other men who
run for office must stand on their
records. It is part O.. the record that
Mr.. Herring's name was used and
probably with effect in anti-suffrage
propaganda. Not that 1t matters
much now for many good men voted
against suffrage tho few were active
in their opposition and members of
anti suffrage organisations created
for the plain purpose Of defeating
the woman's plea for the ballot. Many
of those who voted no did so be-
cause women OF Iowa had not made
1t at all clear that they wanted to
vote.
Men should know when and by
whom ana for what purpose their
names are being ussd. They should
know in self protection ana in pro-
lection Of the public; for business
leaders are by way Ut being respon-
sible by reason OF their prominence
as state officials are responsible be-
CAUSE OF the Endorsement Of those
who elected them and thus created
their Influence"
II Mr.. Herring should be elected
governor Of Iowa let US hope that he
Will scan the use Of his name more
carefully than when II was used as
the conclusion Of = biz business man
that woman suffrage should be de-
feated.

Answers to Previous Questions.
/. Is the chickadee more friendly
than the woodpecker?
Why the chickadee can be induced
to perch upon your hand, and take
food from it, more readily than can
the nuthatch or the woodpecker, is
a question not easily answered. It
being lesser bird, 1T probably has
fewer enemies than either Of the
others. and it's fears would be less in
proportion.
2. Why are foxes afraid Of traps ?
The cunning of the fox Is as much
part of his inherited nature as is
his fleetness of foot. Au the more
notable fur bearing animals, as the
fox, the beaver, the otter, have
doubtless been prosecuted by man
and his savage ancestors for tens OF
thousands OF years, and their suspic-
ion Of traps and lures. and their skill
in eludfng them, are the accumulated
inheritance Of ages
3. When are the new buds OF the
hickory formed?
1t is In late summer, when the new
buds are formed on the trees. Ma
ture looks ahead, and makes ready
for the new season In the midst of
the old. Cut open the terminal hicls-
DRY buds in the late fall and you will
find the new growth Of the coming
season all snugly packed away there,
many times folded up and wrapped
about by protecting scales.
