The calling of the names of Sir
James Craig and other Orange men
elected to the house of commons,
was received with laughter. John
j. Mckeown, the recently released
prisoner, over whose exception
from the first release order, a
hitch in the negotiations was at
one time threatened, was cheered.
There were many women in the
audience, but there was lacking
such a display of elaborate cos
tunes as was witnessed at the
opening of the Belfast parliament.
A few members of the clergy
were noted, including some mem
bers of the religious order in their
habits.
The members having signed the
roll, President de Valera formally
opened the new parliament, and
following the speakership election
of John O'Kelly, chairman of the
Gaelic league, as deputy speaker,
Mr.. de Valera delivered his speech.
An outstanding feature of the
session was the special applause
for the fighting men, Michael Col
Inns, commander of the republican
army; Richard Mulcahy, the chief
of staff, and Charles Burgess, the
minister of defense, were cheered
more heartily than Eamonn de
Valera himself.

SIMPLE WAY TO GET
RID OF RLAGKHEADS

There is one simple. safe and sure
way that never fails to get rid of
biackheads and that is to dissolve
them.
To do this get two ounces of
calonite powder from any drug store
sprinkle a little on a hot: wet
sponge-rub over the blackheads
briskly-wash the parts and you
viii be surprised how the black
heads have disappeared. Big black
heads. little blackheads. no matter
where they are. simply dissolve and
disappear. leaving the parts without
any mark whatever. Blackheads
are simply a mixture of dust and
dirt and secretions from the body
that form in the pores OF the skin.
Pinching and squeezing only cause
irritation, make large pores and do
not get them out after they become
hard. The calonite powder and the
water simply dissolve the black
heads SO they wash right out, Ieav-
ing the pores free and clean and
in their natural condition. Anyone
troubled with these unsightIy blem-
ishes should certainly try this
simple method
