Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am both

viii you please tell me how to get
rid of them?
My finger nails are short and will
not grow without help. What can
apply to strengthen their growth?
MISS SEVENTEEN.
Blackheads, as we'll as pimples, may
be the result of so many different
causes that what will cure them fol

If faithful trials of external remedies
do not benefit a physician should be
consulted.
An excellent treatment begins By
washing the face with liquid greer
soap and a brush. Then apply a
paste made from flowers of sulphur
and camphor spirits. This is smearec
over the complexion and stays on al
night, being washed off in the morn
ing. The face is wiped over witt
glycerine. The latter may be omitted
if desired. but it is desirable.

better.

CRAWFORD PREDICTS
0NE-F0URTH NORMAL
VOTE CAST TUESDAY
Especial to The Palladium

CENTERVILLE, Ind, Sept. Ga
vote on the Is proposed constitutional
amendments of only one-fourth OF
normal, was predicted by Earl Craw-
ford of Milton, addressing an audience
of more than hundred in the school
house Monday.
Many will stay home, and then
grumble at the results of the election
said Crawford. "The citizens Grimm
al indifference to his civic duties is a
grave peril to our system of govern
ment and unless it is remedied, we
will soon find that we no longer have
a real democratic government"
Crawford addressed the regular
monthly meeting of the Center Town
ship Farmers association, before
which he had been invited to discuss
and explain the proposed amendments.
Members of the farm bureau, their
wives, and citizens Of Centerville were
present to hear him.
Crawford advocated passage of the
first amendment referring to qualifi
cations of voters and of the second on
uniform registration, on the ground
that it would save present duplication
of effort and expense.
He advised that the governor be
given power to veto specific items OF
appropriations, but said that the fifth
sixth, and seventh amendments, pro
viding four-year terms, should be de
feated since it would still be necessary
to hold biennial elections for federal
! positions and no good result would be
accomplished by giving the officers
mentioned a longer term
Urges Higher Legal Standard.
A higher standard for lawyers wa:
recommended and the appointment in
stead of election of the state superln
| tendent of schools was advised.
| The amendment giving unlimited
power to the legislature for taxation
laws was not recommended, but thu
income tax provision was strongly ad
vocated, Mr.. Crawford stating that il

plicate was also advocated, Crawfor,
stating that taxation of all tax exemp
securities and intangibles on the sam
basis as real estate would result il
cutting the present tax rate in half.

purging will be unnecessary? You
can do SO if you get Csc box of
Natures Remedy (NR Tablets) and

Mr. Tablets do much more than
merely cause pleasant easy bowel &C
ton. This medicine acts upon the
digestive as well as elinlinative organs

the food you eat, gives you a good,
hearty appetite, strengthens the liver,
pvercomes biliousness, regulates kidney
and bowel action and gives the whole
body a thorough cleaning out. This

proven citizens that which it does not

kid itself into believing that it can
measure citizenship with three per

try are probably not whit worse than
the mental ailments. But as long as
congress holds sentimental attitude
toward the problem instead of COM
mon sense one just that much harder
and longer will the nation have to
bend it's energies in digesting that
which is nothing more nor less than
poison to the system.

Inviting Disease to America.

America sent the best Of it's young
manhood to Europe to fight, but it
required that each be stripped to the
skin and searched for any disease or
ailment before he could set foot again
in his home land. Woe bctide the
young American who could not meet
that test.
But it is interesting to compare this
with the policy the government pur-
sues as regards the foreigner who
reaches Ellis island on his way to
becoming an American citizen. Will
liam Slavens McNutt makes the COM
parison striking in a recent issue of

The Hard Coal Brigands.

In an editorial the Christiasn Sci
ence Monitor briefs the accumulated
evidence that the American people are
at the mercy of a ruthless and I'm.
scrupulous trust which is taxing them
numerically on one of the great nee
essarics Of life-hard coal. Tax
ing? Plundering, rather!
Hard coal went up like all othe,
things. But virtually all other things
have gone down; hard coal stays up
1t could not stay up at it's war-boom
level without artificial deviation of a
strong combination in restraint OF
trade. That there is such a combina.
ton long ago passed beyond the pos.
sibility of doubt.
One organization seems to contro
the supply of hard coal from mine tc
consumers bin, including the anthra.
cite-carrying railroads, whose enor.
nous earnings account for a large
part of the profits of this merciless
brigandry.
Hard coal for years has been going
! up, up-always up, never down. Il
hard coal labor got an increase of ter
cents ton coal went up quarter
and stayed up. When Pennsylvania
attempted to tax hard coal ten cents q
ton anthracite went up another quar-.
ter and stayed up though not dollar
of that tax ever was collected.

Surgery in Crime.

A woman burglar in New York has
been sentenced to treatment by surgi-
cal specialists, putting it rather crude
ly. What happened was that the
court, when the woman was convicted,
sent her to the surgeons to have her
thyroid gland perked up bit, to cure
her of what was propensity and not
4 criminal intent. Her family was
we'll to do, her necessities prompted
nothing like theft and her burglarious
work resulted in no gain. Simply the
improper functioning of her thyroid
had perverted her faculties and she
burglarized accordingly. Thyroid ex-
tract from sheep or other scientific
ally proper source will be employed
to bring her mentality back to a state
where it will dominate her morality.
This may not be due process of law,
but it seems highly progressive pro-
ceeding. There are schools of be-
lief and prejudice which would reject
and resent this decree in mingled sur
gerry and Jurisprudence. 1t would not
be possible under the criminal codes
of most of the states coming as a
sentence and without consent of all
concerned. We have not yet reached
the point where we can expect intelli-
gent legislation to deal with the rela-
tionship between crime and the men,
tai condition resulting from a lapse
Of physical functions. We do not hold
thyroids responsible to the criminal
law.
But all this is quite interesting as
indicating what we may be coming to.
This case attracted no particular at
tention in New York beyond con-
spicuous newspaper position. 1t ceems
to have been regarded in quite a
matter of fact way and as no new de-
parture in the science of penology.
Well, society demands nothing of this
woman if her offense was a disease
and not a crime, and surely her cure
and restoration to moral as we'll as
physical health meet all of the require
ments of the theory Of punishment
which demands the reformation of the
wrong -doer.-St. Paul Dispatch.
