THOUSANDS OF WOMEN
 ARE NOW CONVERTED Black and White Beauty Trail' draws many new
 followers each year

When the discoverers of the marvellous Black and White Beauty creations first announced to the girls and women of this country that they had at last perfected a means of really correcting bad compilations. it was regarded as simply another wild claim which would explode when put to practical use.
 But as each year has passed since that memorable day tin June. 1916) the figures show that large numbers of new converts have been added to the Black and White label. until now Black and White Beauty rate of more than eight million packages year.
 When asked recently to give the reason for the tremendous popularity and big sale of Black and White Beauty Creations one of the chemists said: 'To us it is Black and White Beauty E>sations as Cleansing Cream and Perox.c> Cream to get such universal approval among girls and women everywhere. These enormous Black and White Beauty Creations are actually accomplishing what women expect in caring for their complexion to keep it looking smooth and clear without . lot of trouble.
 "One two packages are sold in a ncighborhood through the advertising and twenty more are bought there because lhe first ones bring such astonishing results. People are always ready to tell others about a method which helps them accom- plish what other things failed to do.''
 Not a week passes that fails to bring out hundreds of statements from girls and women about the wonderful results they get in correcting bad complexions by using Black and Whfte Cleansing, and Peroxide Cream. This alone is sufficient to explain the phenomenal sale of the Black and White Beauty Creations, and is the best reason no power on earth can keep them off the dressing tables of girls and women all over the country.

X N | SO[OM0N'S N'S' CASE QUTRNALEO. IN CHICAGO COURT.
Mother of Child Unable to Identify Husband Because
 of Striking Likeness

CHICAGO. March 30.-king Sol omons famous case wherein two women claimed the same child was rather cinch compared to the who's whose puzzle Judge Morgan tried and failed to settle in the court of domestic relations here Friday.
 Who is Irene's husband and the father of her child?" was the ques- tion.
 It's no easier for the writer and the reader to figure it out than for the judge, who has tried and settled all varieties of the domestic complex. but
 Mrs. Irene Hayes Sierro-or serpe was the plaintiff in complaint that her husband had failed to sup port her anH her two-yearL Id child. The baby was also in court. There were two defendants, Paul Sierro and Sam Serpe, looking as much alike as a couple of regula- ton golf balls, except that one wore tan overcoat and the other gray striped suit. Developments were ct implicated when testimony made it appear that these two had inter- changeabIe names, each being known occasionally by the name of the other.
 Irene, an attractive young woman of 23, pointed out the man with the tan overcoat as her legally wed hus- band and father of the child. She produced a marriage license signed by Paul Serro and dated December 8, 1919. He was positively, she de- clared, the same man she had lived with for three years. Irene's mother and father and other witnesses de- clared they were equally positive,
 But it wasn't Paul she married at all, Irene declared, explaining that she found she had married Sam Serpe two or three years later and then had the baby rechristened.
 To all this the man in the tan over coat merely laughed.
 That's sam Scrpe over there, he said, pointing to his co-defendant. Hes her husband. I was working on a railroad in Michigan at the time this marriage license was issued. l can prove l wasn't here.
 So the court had Sam ard Paul write their names on piece of paper. The result looked much alike. The judge thought the signature Of the striped d-suited man looked most like that on the license.
 Nothing doing" he insisted, T know who I married and who 1 lived with"
 I'm the only husband she ever had" contradictcd the self-alleged Sam-he of the striped suit, but I don't know as I want her now.
 Well you needn't think" retorted Irene, that you can wish yourself on me-
 Let's let the baby decide,' said Judge Morgan. ''He ought to be able to pick out his daddy"
 But the baby, given first to one man and then the other, squalied equally loudly in the arms of each.
 The judge was stumped. In des- peration. he asked Irene:
 Did you have bath tub in your house."
 No. your honor, we. didn't"
 Well, did you ever see him-thls one-undressed?'
 The man in the tan overcoat blushed as Irene replied in the affirmative.
 Did he have any marks by which you could identify him?'' No. Not even a little mole"
 This" said Judge Morgan, as he shook his head, lis a matter for the divorce courts"
 "Discharged."
 Irene tainted and was carried out.
