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

Here's a chance, Miss Freckle-face, to
trv a remedy for freckles with the guar
antee of a reliable concern that it will
not cost you a penny unless it removes
the freckles; while if it doesgive you a
clear complexion the expense is tritiing.
Simply get an ounce of Othine-double
strength from and druggist and few
applications should show you how easy
it is to rid yourself Of the homely freckles
and get beautiful complexion. 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.

JUST FOR FUN
Boy Firebug, in Confession, Says
He "Just Loved to See
the Glare"

GREENSBURG, Pa, Dec. 81
Albert Smith, nineteen, steel mill
laborer, son of good family, stands
today accused Of twenty-three of the
many blazes Of incendiary origin in
Fayette county recently.
WRITES CONFESSION.
Young Smith has written an t.maz-
ing confes ssl ion of how he started these
twenty-three fires, according to Capt.
Herbert C. Smith, of the State police.
No detail is omitted. 1t is the most
remarkable document that ever fell
into the hands of the State police.
according to Captain Smith.
Neither malice nor revenge nor
gain inquired as a motive. young
Smith, according to his own story,
Just wanted TO see the bright glare
of a big fire at night. He never fig-
ured the great losses entailed nor
the danger to those whose homes he
set Attire, according TO his town story
as given out by Captain Smith, who
is no relative OF the accused youth.
TAKEN TO SCENES.
Smith was taken by tho state po'
lice yesterday TO everyone of the
twenty-three scenes. With exact de-
tail the prisoner pointed out in each
instance how nc says he worked and
escaped Farmers were confronted
with the suspect and told b. him
while they stood by. torn by emotions
of amazement and wrath, how their
homes and barns had been ignited.
Fearing disorder, the State troopers
did not bring the priseses Toward
until thsy had appraised the farmer
OF their mission and he had expressed
willing ness to face the suspect. Only
one farmer refused. He had lost a
barn with contents. The estimated
loss was $4,000. His years crops
were gone.
State troopers checked UP young
Smiths story in every case and found
II correct. They believe they have
brought to probable end the long
string of incendiary fires in Fayette
county.
Smith will be given a mental test
today. He is believed to be mentally
deficient, the State police say.
