The Search
 For Beauty
And How to Be Success
 ful In Attaining It

The ancient records and stone monuments in their pictures and writings tell us of the effort that women even in that day put forth to further enhance and increase theii. natural charms of beauty.
 Some of the methods employed to increase these charms have been brought down through the ages. There are two beauty aids that are very popular nowadays known as Black and White Soap and Black and White Ointment.
 Black and White Soap is a pure skin cleanser and complexion beau tifier. It aids in removing skin blemishes and the regular use of it will keep the skin soft, with the lovely tint of youth.
 Black and White Ointment is creamy emolllent that removes lea. liver spots and similar skin blemishes. Black and White Soap and Ointment must be used together to obtain the best results.
 All drug and department stores guarantee and sell Black and White Ointment, 25c the package (50c size contains three times as much): Black and White Soap, 25c.
 Send 10c to Dept. T $ B, Plough Chemical Company, Memphis, Tenn, for free samples Black and White Ointment and Soap. Also copy of your birthday readings.

 DALLAS, Texas-Plenty of beer, the old kind with five per cent of kick at price not exceeding five cents a glass, Is the inducement James F.. Ferguson is holding out for votes for president of the United States.
 The convention which nominated Ferguson has a set of electors in structed to vote for him for president. He is running on beer and wine plat form in Texas. His electors will be on the ticket in no other state except Texas
 T will guarantee. if beer is brought back, the price will never go above five cents.' says Ferguson. "The brewers would not have been profiteers had they not been put out of busi- ness"
 Ferguson was impeached as govern or of Texas three years ago because he would not tell the source of $156,000 he received It was later proven the money came from the breweries.
 Following his impeachment he was defeated for governor. Now he is run. ming for the presidency on the Ameri. can Party, which he organized.
