SURE WAY TO GET
 RID OF BLACKHEADS

There is 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 calonite powder from any drug store--sprinkle a little on a hot wet sponge-rub over the blackheads briskly-wash the parts and you will be surprised how the blaekheads have disappeared. Big black heads, little blackheads, no matter where they are, simply dissolve and disappear. leaving the parts without any mark whatever. Black heads are simply a mixture of dust and dirt and secretions from the body that form in the pores of the skin--pinching and squeezing only cause irritation. make large pores. and do not get them out after they become hard. The calonite powder and the water simply dissolve the black heads SO they wash right out. leaving the pores free and clean and in their natural condition. Anybody troubled with these unsightly blemishes should certainly try this simple method.-Adv.

Weeks DisapprOves
Reduction in A.
Says 1t Will Mean 1rces
at Army Pos+ 4Mere-
ly Guards.

st. Augustine, Fla. March 16 (By The
A. P,)-Secretary Weeks said he plan
ned to inform the senate military af-
fairs committee that sit is impossible
with a small force to man the 290 posts
throughout the United States in dis
cussing today the action. of the house
appropriations committee in reporting
bill carrying considerably reduced fig
ures for the military establishment and
providing for an army of 1850 men
and 1000 officers. If the house com
mittee figures stand, he added, 1t will
mean that the forces at the army posts
will be reduced to a point where they
will consist merely OF guards for the
properties.
Reduction in the personnel" the sec
retary asserted, "is especially unwise
unless the overhead expense of the army
is cut at least the same ratio. 1t now
costs about $4,000 per man per year as
against about $1,000 as before the war.
I do not know what the present bill
contains in detail, but so far as am
informed. it does nothing in reducing
overhead expenses such as maintenance
and repair requirements at many posts
which may well be abandoned"
Mr.. Weeks said constant requests
came to Washington for renewal of i'm
provement and buildings at the army
posts but no expenditure Of $500 or more
is allowed, unless personally approved
by him.
eff cc-yress wishes to reduce army
expenditures" the secretary continued,
at should abolish everything thai is not
necessary for the military defense of the
country"
Reduction of the army to 115,ooo men
will necessitate abandonment of many
posts, he said.
We will have to take troops out Of
them" he said. ct requires about 45.-
600 men on the border and in foreign
possessions, which would leave 10000 to
garrison the remaining ESQ posts. The
10000 includes aviation, quartermaster
corps. medical corps, etc. so that the
remainder is only about $4,000 combat
troops. This is only enough to act as
| guards of government property if they
are to be divided among all the posts.
THE army at present numbers about
| 10000 men. We have an authorization
J of 10000 but strict selective methods
, are beng followed in recruiting and we
are taking only the best men who apply

LORD CARSON ATTACKED
BRITISH COALITION GOVT

London, March 16.-(By The A. P)-
During today's debate on the Irish Free
State bill IN the house Of lords, Lord
Carson bitterly attacked the coalition
government declaring it had abolished
constitutional government and had laid
down the principle that by executive ac-
ton could be brought abaut not merely
constitutional changes but revolution.
Lord Carson declared that in effect the
government had told south and west
Ireland: you have known how to bring
the British government to its knees
surely you can do the same with u
ster"
Lord Carson denounced the policy of
the government and the Free State bill
in most uncompromising terms, but ad-
mitted that the mischief had been done
and said he was not going to argue that
the lords ought to reject the bill. But
he hoped they would not be SO powerless
and lacking in courage as not to insist
that they should nevEr allow, without
consent, one acre CT land to be taken
from Ulster.
He concluded his address by declaring
that if South and West Ireland were
willing to acknowledge themselves Ioya!
subjects of the king and yielded to Ul-
ster the same rights and provileges as
they demanded for themselves, and aban-
doned their present campaign of out
rage, showing that they really meant to
take their places within the dominions
of the crown as loyal and faithful ser
wants, he would promise that they should
be welcome in every corner of Ulster
after Lord Carson's speech the house
passed the second reading Of the bill
without division.

tai cost of the bonus would be $4,O9S,71S,-
$50 was based upon the assumption that
10 per cent. Of the 4,458. 1873 veterans who
would be eligible for compensation would
accept adjusted service certificates; Two
and a half per cent, vocational training
aid; 10 per cent farm and home aid, and
Z IL per cent. land settlement aid. The
remaining ten per cent. would be paid in
cash after passage of the bill under a pro-
vision requiring veterans whose ADJUSTED
compensation would not exceed $50 to ac-
cept cash
Total costs under the various options Ct
the bill were estimated as follows: Cash
payments, $1,000 900 ; certificates, on ac-
count of deaths, $577,571, 900, and on ac-
count of maturity, $3,154, ,823,350, voca-
tional training s52,325, 600: farm and
home aid, s1S6,OO0,V00 and land settle
ments S112, 900.
The greatest cost in any single year was
estimated at $3,154S23,350 in the fiscal
year 1943 when the certificates then out
standing would mature The costs under
all other options, except the certificate
would cease the report said, in 1927 The
last payments under vocational training
would be in 1895; under farm and home
aid in 1925 and under land settlement in
1927. After that time the only cost each
year until the year of the maturity Of the
certificates would be payments on ac-
count of deaths of holders Of certificates.
The cost in the fiscal year 1928. the first
year after the oil came into operation,
would be $74,279, 900, the report said, ana
the costs for each succeeding year UP to,
but exclusive Of 1943, would be.
