 l Acne indurata is the pustular acne l in which the pustules are of large size l and look like pudplish Jumps, size of l a pea to bean. Sometimes several 1 of these may run together.

Different 1 investigators have found that there | is always associated with acne rod 1 shaped germ which they have called 1 bacillus acnes. But, in other para 1 sitic disorders, there are some special l conditions which favor the growth of the parasites.
 l This special condition is furnished
 in youth at the time when there is
 great developmenta1 activity of all oc l the tissues of the body Nature sometimes unfortunately l overdoes things al this period and may overdo the activity of the se- baceous glands. This causes an over- production of the skin oil of sebunl and the condition of eXcesss oiliness of the skin, or seborrh oea, results. This excess oil may harden in the skin and plugs will form which attract the dust and become blackheads (comedones). These block the pores and the acne germs and other skin germs multiply, and pus is formed under them.
 You can see from this that keeping
 the blackheads from forming would
 be a part of the treatment. When the pimpIes begin to form they can sometimes be aborted by
 painting them two or three times a
 day with a solution made of equal
 parts of camphor gum and carbolic
 acid,

MICHIGAN TOWN IS
 DUMP FOR MURDERS
Seventh Body in Six Months Is Discovered Near Mt. Clemens.

Mt. Clemens, Mich, Oct. 3.-With the finding of the seventh body of a murdered man within period of six
 months along the Quinn road, about five miles from Mt. Clemens. author ities hold the theory that this section is the dumping ground of Detroit
 rnurderers.
 So far as record show every per
 son murdered and brought to this
 spot has been a Detroiter. although two thus far have been unidentified as to names.
 Records also show that in only one instance were slayers captured. It was when Oscar Abrahamson, man
 ager of the Yale Taxi Company of Detroit was murdered and thrown from an autom obile into the ditch in approximately the same spot where the body of the seventh victim was found. Two men were sentenced to life Imprisonment for Abraihamson's 1 murder.
 The body of the latest victim was in the ditch fully two weeks. The Board of Supervisors has been urged to install lights in the Quinn road dis trict to forestall the gangsters. The pockets of the seventh victim had been rif1ed and everything removed;

ACNE-PART ]

Perhaps those of Us who have all ways had clear skins cannot realize the tragedy it means to young girls and boys just awakening to the won ders of life, to be afflicted with acne. A letter l have had from a boy ex- presses, in his boying way, one of the underlying tragedies:
 Dear Doctor" he wrote, you have helped so many others, won't you please help me? l am 9 clean boy but my face is covered with pimples. How can I ever make a hit with the girls? I don't see why I should be so afflicted"
 How can he make a hit Ufeh the girls-how can she make a hit with the boys! That may sound trivial to some but it is the underlying unhap- piness of despair that it expresses that makes this a subject of great import ance. Although the boys and girls do not realize it, this plea is an ex- pression of the great primal biologic impulse which, rightly directed, means the foundation of home and happi- ness Inarticulately they are sayin g that fate is trying to thwart them.
 Acne is an f1ammatory disease of the sebaceous glands and the. hair roots. It usually begins at puberty (the age at which childhood changes to manhood and Womanhood and un- less cured. may continue through ado lescence (the growth period, from puberty to full maturity. It is char acterized by an eruption of papu1es- small solid elevations--and pustu1es, upon the face, neck, shoulders or chest.
 There are two general varieties of acne. Acne vulgaris, or simple acne, and acne indurata. In simple acne the face, shoulders, or chest will be dotted with pinhead to small pea sized pimples, from pinkish to red color. Very often in the center there will be comedones (black-heads). Some of these pimples usually go on to suppu- ration.
 Together with the papules and pus- jules there may be the milea (the little hard, white pimp1es) and the affected parts are usually very oily and very greasy. Between them there

part of the white of an egg to five parts of water. This is not an astrin- gent for daily needs as it is painted over the skin and allowed to remain for 20 minutes, after which it must be removed with warm water. Witch hazel or any good toilet water is a mild astringent, but better still is the ice rub. Another good method Is to use the egg astringent when giving the skin a special treatment. This should be done at least once each week when the facial muscles are sa g- ging. The other lotions should be used as needed,
 M. S.:-There is an operation to improve the appearance of protrud- ing ears. It is considered a simple one and leaves no scars. Consult a dermato1ogist about this. If children are inclined to have ears that pro- trude they can be corrected by tying a bandage over the ears while they sleep This causes them to lie flat to the head for some i2 hours, inducing them to grow that way But this treatment does little for older people as the cartelege, which forms the ear, has hardened.

Portland. Oregon, Oct. 3--Com- municants Of the Protestant Episco- pal church in the United States are forbidden to marry divorced persons except in cases where divorce has been granted on the ground Of infi- delity.
 This is the result of the action take., here by the house of deputies of the general triennial convention, confirming a measure passed previ- ous1y by the house of bishops.
 The former law of the church merely forbade cIergymen to perform marriage ceremony where either party to it had been divorced for n cause other than infldelity. The new canon does not provide punishment kfor members of the church disobey- king it but there was pending before the convention a resolution by Bishop rameron Mann of the diocese of South Florida providing for the excomInun- ration of persons reuarrying con (ary to the divorce canon.
 When the deputies acted there were
 any seats vacant many delegates
