Simple Way to Get

To do this get two ounces of calo-

rub over the blackheads briskly-

appeared. Big blackheads, little black
heads, no matter where they are,
simply dissolve and disappear. Black
heads are simply a mixture of dust

DIR. George Otis Smith of Wash
ington, ID. G. spoke Sunday at the
morning service OF the Bethany
baptist church to a large audience
and one which listened most at
tentively to DR.. Smiths address.
DIR. Smiths subject was Chris
tain Citizenship, Are We Quitters?'
In beginning he mentioned the ad-
miration that one has for a horse
which can from the fourth place
in the race take and maintain first
place. He called attention to the va
rios times in the bible where refer
ence is made to the race and the
race is one of the earliest sports and
was a favorite pastime. DR.. Smith
gave a most interesting report of a
recent conference held in Washing
ton called by about 500 people to
consider christian citizenship. He
said that there was a tendency to
quit the good fight and to become
Quitters. Those who issued the call
for the conference and those who
believe in the Volstead Act and the
18th amendment and that all laws
should be enforced. He said what
the United States needed was not
more machinery but rather power
back of the machinery to drive it
to greater activities and that we
need to consider christian citizen
ship 800 days in a year and 366
days. one year in four and that it
needs no elaborate machinery to do
SO.
DIR. Smith mentioned the work
done in the past by the w. G. T. L.,
the Sunday schools and churches,
and that after the adoption of the
18th amendment the work stopped
the country over. Some people
think that the Volstead Act and the
18th amendment have not brought
the desired results and DR.. Smith
said that while it may not be all
that was expected that conditions
are certainly very much better than
before and that now it was so I'M
common a thing to see an intoXi-
Gated man on the trains and streets
that a man in an intoxicated condi-
ton caused attention. He said
that Vice President Marshall who
Travelled 10000 miles in three years,
says that it is very rarely that he
sees men intoxicated when formerly
it was very common. DIR. Smith said
that Lewis Marshall in an address
at the conference stated that the
18th amendment is as sacred as the
Ten Commandments and no one, not
even the college presidents should
diSCbey it.

Halden Moody, formerly of Scion,

ing employed for the present in Madi-
son, was before Judge Elmer w.
Sawyer at a hearing Monday after
noon of the Somerset Municipal
court on charge of larceny of money
amounting to $50 from the person of
Michael Mahooney of Madison on
last Thursday night. The State was
represented by County Attorney
James H. Thorne of North Arson
and NJ cody was represented by At
torney William &. Brown of Madi-
son. The witnesses for the State
were Deputy Sheriff Harry Merrill
of Madison, who made the arrest,
Michael Mahooney and Jarvis Dale,
Il young man from Pennsylvania,
who is working in Madison and is
Ms. Moody'S roommate. The re-
spondent was the only witnesses for
the defense. Before opening the de-
tense Attorney Brown made mo-
ton that the Judge discharge the
prisoner and argued that the State
had not proved that larceny from the
person of Mahooney had been COM
mitted and neither had it proven that
this larceny had been committed,
that Moody had no opportunity to
commit the crime. Mr.. Brown argued
for some length of time. At the close
of Browns argument County AttOr-
ney Thorne was given an OppOrtu-
nifty TO address the judge but he de-
clincd to do so. Judge Sawyer re-
quested Attorney Brown to continue
with the defense which he did and
Moody was questioned. In his teSti-
mony Moody told a straight forward
story and admitted to drinking with
Mahooney that night. but denied see
ing Mahooney'S money or taking it.
Judge Sawyer discharged the prisoner
because of lack of evidence.
