And he murmured to her on an even

When Eve with a bashful blush or
her face,
Yielded shyly and sweetly to Adams
embrace.
And put up her red lips for the true
lovers pact
(You may set all this down as an
absolute fact.)
She inquired, while he breatned the
fond names on his list:
Have you said that to all OF the
girls you have kissed?''
And that's how that started.
When Adam asked Eve if she would

The equipment, training, mobiliza-
ton and transportation across the
water to France in such a short
time as that accomplished by America
has never been approached in his
tory and certainly was a. source of
pleasant establishment to Europe as
well as one of dismay to the enemy.
1t is but fair to state that in all
OF his war measures the President
was upheld by the Republican party
but there is no doubt that the ideal
ism ard altruism which prevailed
Mr.. Wilson's speeches in and out of

BLACKHEADS GO QUICK
 BY THIS SIMPLE METHOD

Blackheads-big ones or little ones soft ones hard ones-on any part O. the body, go quick by a simple mathoc that just dissolves them. To do this get about two ounces of calonite powder from your druggist-sprinkle a little on bot wet sponge-rub over the blackheads briskly for few seconds-and wash of. You'll wonder where the blaekheads have all gone, The calonite powder and the hot water have just dissolved them. Pinching and squeezI ing blackheads only open the pores of the skin and leave them open and unsightly-- and unless the blackheads are big and soft they will not come out, while the simple application of calonite powder and water dissoives them right out. leaving the skin soft and the pores in their natural condi- ton. You get calonite powder at ans drug store and if you are troubled wi..l these unsightly blemishes you should cer- tainly try this simple method.--Adv.
