 The vaudeville registers more ap- pIause and satisfaction than any seen at this house in many months. goth Century Revue is a riot of verSatil- ity on the part of the 5 artists who take part in it. Creedon & Davis, a stout gentleman and a good-looking girl have an offering so new in com edy and so dron that the audience gives the act a wonderful reception.

Boston, March 25.-Robert Lansing, sformer secretary of State and member of the American Peace Comnission, will reveal in his forthcoming book ion .eThe Peace Negotiations,'' which win be published by Houghton, Milf lin Company, March 25, how close he, came to redgning from the Com mission because of differences with decision and his belief that many of

SUI PHUR IS BEST TO CLEAR UP UGLY,
 BROKEN OUT SKIN

Any breaking out or skin irritation on face, neck or body is overcome quickest by applying Mentho-Sul- phur, says noted skin specialist critics, nothing has ever been found to take the place of this sulphur preparation that instantly brings ease from the itching, burning and irrita- ton.
 Mentho-Sulphur heals eczema right up, leaving the skin clear and smooth. It seldom fails to relieve the torment or disagreement. A little jar of Mentho-Sulphur may be ob- tained at any drug store It Is used like cold cream.-Adv.

Trade Ties Bind Closely

I'VE must understand that ties

intimacy, and none may receive

strengthened ours in accordance

notably on our own continent,
where galaxy Of republics reflect

racy; but in the new order Of
finance and trade we mean to pro-
mote enlarged activities and seek
expanded confidence
perhaps we can make no more
helpful contribution by example
than prove republics capacity
to emerge from the wreckage Of
war. While the worlds embittered
travail did not leave US devastated
lands nor desolated cities left no
gaping wounds. no breast with
hate, it did involve US in the de-
lirium Of expenditure, in expanded
currency and credits, in unbal-
anced industry. in unspeakable
waste and disturbed relationships.
While it uncovered our portion OF
hateful selfshness at home, it
also revealed the heart Of America
as sound and fearless, and beating
in confidence unfailing.
"Amid it all we have riveted
the gaze of all civilization to the
unselhshness and the righteous
ness of representative democracy,
where our. freedom never has
made offensive warfare, never has
sought territorial aggrandizement
through force, never has turned
to the arbitrament of arms until
reason had been exhausted. When

j0LlO,cs:
Give generations ago there was
revealed to the people of this ma
ton a new relationship between
man and man, which they declared
and proclaimed in the American
Constitution. Therein they recog-
nized legislature empowered to
express the will Of the people in
law, a judiciary required to deter
mine and state such law and an
executive charged with securing
obedience to the law, all holding
their Office not by reason of some
superior force, but through the
determined conscience Of their
countrynler.
''To the House, close to the heart
of the nation, renewing It's whole
membership by frequent elections,
representing directly the people,
rejecting their common purpose,
has been granted a full measure
of the power of legislation and ex-
elusive authority to originate tax
alton. To the Senate, renewing its
membership by degrees, represent
ing in part the sovereign states,
has been granted not only a full
measure of the power Of legisla-
ton, but, if possible, far more i'm
portant functions. To It is III
trusted the duty of review, that
to negotiation there may be added
ratification and to appointment
approval. But its greatest func-
tion Of all, too little mentioned
and too little understood, whether
exercised in legislatirg or review
ing, is the preservation Of liberty.

If it will tighten the spirit and
add to the resolution with which
we take up the task let me repeat,
for our nation, we shall give no
people just cause to make war

vidual is best fitted, where we may
call to universal service every
