YOU'LL GET RID Of
BLACKnEADS SURE

There il one simple. safe and sure
way that never fails TO get rid OF
blackheads. and that Is to dissolve
them.
To do this, get two ounces OF Gallo
mite powder from any drug store
sprinkle a little on a hot. wet sponge
rub over the blackheads briskiy
wash thr party and you will be
surprised how the blsckhcads have
disappeared. Big lackheads. little
bisckhesds. 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 secre-
tons from the body that form in the
pores OF the skin. Plnching and
squeezing only cause irritation, make
large pores, and do not get the
ackheadg out after they become
hard The calonite powder and tho
water simply dissolve the black
heads so they wash right out, leav-
ing the pores free and clean and i'm
their natural condition. Anyone

WARRINGTON. ID. C.. Jan. To
make two trees grow where one
grew before is nsgeneral the aim
of the United States Forest Service;
but that branch of It known as the
Forest Products Laboratory. at Mad
ison. Wisconsin. has demonstrated
the possibility of doubling the wood
supply in effect in another way-by
making one tree do the work. or
furnish the amount of material. that
Two trees did before.
The Forest Products Laboratory
was started as a branch of the For
est Service working comparatively
with the University of Wisconsin in
1910, with about eighty employees.
The number of employees was sub
seouently increased to about 500. but
due to the small appropriations Civ
en- the laboratory and the rise in
salaries and all other costs. It now
has little more than half that num-
Der of employees. Industrial con-
:erns have learned the value of its
work. and are applying to it in con-
siderable numbers for aid. but most
OF these requests must be refused.
No less than 16S such specific re-
quests for assistance from business
concerns have been received in the
last eight months. Most of them
have necessarily been refused. Near
ly all of the business concerns were
willing to pay for the services they
requested, but even so It was impos-
sible to render them because there
were not facilities enough available.
Research Stopped
And this inability to meet the spe-

y. S. Forest Service Trying
to Double the Wood Supply

cific requests of business is = small
part of the difficulty. Research work
which could ultimately save the
country millions OF dollars has been
stopped for lack Of funds. In this
situation the Forest Products Labor
atory appeals to Congress and 20
the country for better support and
offers facts and figures to prove that
it is worth it.
Its case is worth considering be-
cause it is typical. Many other con-
structive governmental activities
which pay large dividend In ne
tual increased production OF indus
try, are being starved out just as
the Forest Products Laboratory is,
while enormous amounts are asked
for Army and Navy support. for the
enforcement OF prohibition. and for
other non-constructive activities.
1t is not meant TO imply that these
are not needed. But appropriations
of this sort. and those by which the
Congressman hopes TO bring money
into his own section. such as river
and harbor appropriations. seem 10
pass with little criticism, while the
much smaller needs Of the Govern
ment for constructive scientific work
are attacked as rank extravaganza.
Thus the Forest Products Labora-
tory. during the entire ten-year re-
riod of its existence. has cost the
nation but two million dollars. 1t
claims to have repaid this many
times over by creating new taxa BILE
values. For example. the claims
actually paid by the railroads for
loss and damage to goods in transit
amounts to s100.000,000 annually.
