J got my hair bobbed Now he comes
to see ME just as often as he used to,
but he tells ne | don't look as good
with il bobbed as before. a friend Of
mine got her hair bobbed also and
he tells me she looks better.
Do you think he loves me, or do you
think he cares for the other girl? He
calls her up every day. The second
fellow wants 10 come to see me but

BLACkHEADS.

Blackheads are curse that seem to
creep on women unawares. A woman
may think she is keeping her skin
properly cleansed and suddenly find
when she examines it closely in the
mirror one day, that tiny little black
speCks are visible all over her face.
1t is exceedingly difficult to get rio
of trese little blackheads Soap and
water will never accomplish it. Either
cleansing cream or some special
preparation must be used. Black
heads are composed of a substance
like hardened oil, so there are two
ways of getting rid of them. One of
them is to soften them with oil, the
other to attack them with some soft
of drying powder. Either way is eff
fective is persisted in.
If you use cream, purchase cleans
ing cream. which costs less and is
more effective than the usual mas
sage cream. If you use a drying
powder make up the following for
yourself:
Corn starch ............2 ounces
Powdered boraX .......1 ounce
Almond meal .......1 ounce.
Whichever you use, first open thu
pores of the skin by holding hot wet
cloths over the face, then rub in
either the cleansing cream or the pow
der, and massage thoroughly to get
it well into the pores. Rinse with hot
water and follow with a cold rinse,
and with an ice rub if you have any
ice. If you use this powder you will
be surprised at the quantity you can

to the high tariff on books as provid-

Thirty eastern colleges, represented
by $50 delegates were present at to-

NJ l.. Raney, Librarian of Johns Hop

was raised.

Wonders of the Potato

A North Rossier friend has sent in
clipping from Georgia paper, pub
lished under the above heading. It
reads:
The possibilities of the sweet potato
have been more or less widely discussed
and there are many, who believe that
the cultivation OF such a crop here
would be a road to financial independ-
ence. No one, perhaps. has had q full
realization Of what a wealth Of promise
there il in this heretofore humble pro-
duct of the soil. G. w. Taryef, the
famous c,,lored chemist In the Tuskegee
Institute, has acct,mniisled some mar
velous things in showing the value Of
sweet potatoes and is this month ap-
pearing before certain scientists Of the
T.sS Government at Washington, ex-
plaininE his discoveries.
Ss..As reported in scientific journals,
the sweet potato has yielded 1O7 diff

nut. breakfast food. imitation coffee
and chocolate, ice cream powder, candy,
stock foods, molasses. artificial rubber.
