SOMERSET Is UPSET
IL BY FLAPPER WAR
Parents and Teachers Association At
tempt To Dictate Styles
Quickly Met

Somerset Pa, Aug. 25.-This little
city of Somerset has been somersault-
ed into style class war with the bob
bed hair, lip stick and rolled stocking
flappers arrayed on one side, and their
more timid sisters of long tresses and
high stockings on the other.
The first clash occurred yesterday
when the ent-Teachers' Associ-
alton formally Endorsed the "old fash
oned' girl and took steps to petition
the school board to adopt uniform
style of dress for all school girls. The
rules would bar silk hose, short skirts,
bobbed hair and low neck, sleeveless
dresses.
But! The fapper contingent, hear
ing of the meeting, stormed 1t. Their
verbal protest, delivered in rhyme,
was as short and snappy as the dress
and manner of the fapperette who
delivered it.
II can show my shoulders.
II can show my knees;
I'm a free born American
"And can show what | please
With that the f1appers exited while
the Parent-Teachers' session was
turned into an Indignation meeting.
Action on the dress question will be
demanded of the school board, the
parents and teachers decided.

Europe they can advance the fortunes
of the American people, then, 1t
seems to me, it would be their duty

If, in cool perspective, they reach
the conclusion that no compromising

they would fail in their duty IL they
embraced that responsibility.

RECIPE TO CLEAR
A P|MPLY SKIN
Pimples Are Impurities, seeking an
Outlet Through Skin
Pores


Pimples, sores and boils usually re-
suit from toxins, poisons and impuri-
ties which are generated in the bowels
and then absorbed into the blood
through the very ducts which should
absorb only nourishment to sustain
the body.
1t is the function OF the kidneys to
filter impurities from the blood and
cast them out in the form OF urine,
but in many instances the bowels Gre
ate more toxins and impurities than
tho kidneys can eliminate; then the
blood uses the skin pores as the next
best means of getting rid of these i'm
purities,, which often break out all
over the skin in the form of pimples.
/ The surest way to clear the skin of
these eruptions, says noted authori-
ty, is to get from any pharmacy about
four ounces of Jad Salts and take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water each
morning before breakfast for one
week. This will help prevent the for
nation Of toxins in the bowels. 1t
also stimulates the kidneys, thus coax
ing them to filter the blood of i'm
purities and clearing the skin OF
pimples, -.-.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, and is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia.
Here you have pleasant, effervescent
drink which usually helps make PIN
pies disappear.

HELP THE WORLD
FOR Selfish REASON
j. 5. Must Aid Other Nations il
She Wishes to Do Well

Williamstown, Mass, Aug. 25.--
/ Self interest alone should determine
whether the United States should in
tervene in Europe, the Earl of Birk-
enhead former lord chancellor OF
session of the Institute Of Politics. s.
Lord Birkenhead, who landed In
New York yesterday morning and hur-
ried to Williamstown to deliver his
address on THE World After the
War" declared that, while President
Wilson'S ideals and purposes should
be reverenced, he WAS mistaken in his
Judgment of the world and his own
countrymen and by that error he
paradoxically became the agent of
postwar developments from which
his dealism would have recoiled.
For the real truth is, that while
the whole world requires the en-
couragement and the light of ideal
ism, the whole world would probably
not survive il idealism we're given a
completely free REIN. The great
necessary motive of human endeavor
is self interest@ said Birkenhead,
quoting from the English philos-
opher, Jeremy Bentham a,
1.-THE problems of war were meal
cuably great, but they were small
compared with the problems Of peace.
1T is of no use abusing the Treaty
of Versailles. That treaty was the
creature of the victorious mood Of
the victorious allies. 1t is quite easy
now to say that moro moderate terms
could and ought to have been i'm
posed Human nature, being what 1T
is, no victorious nations could have
reconciled with the determination of
their democracies terms less severe
upon defeated army who had de-
liberately and wickedly, for motives
of national ACCOMPLISHMENT. run the
risk of submerging the whole Of
western civilization"
All Germany Had To Do
"Al Germany had to do was to
wait" he said Given peace, she
had everything in her own hands,
and her principal trade competitor
in Europe was likely to be paralyzed
by internal discussions relating to
Ireland. But none the less, twelve
narrow, ignorant, arrogant men pro-
nounced in favor of war. i
President Wilson, indeed, came
with his message of hope which, un
happily, proved to be his principal
equipment ! am bold enough, even
at the moment when pay the
highest tribute to his unselfish mo-
tives, to doubt whether had he been
given health and strength to pursue
his campaign, his idealism and per-
sonality could have affected the |
forces of the world -
mo nation in democratic condi-
tons will ever become the knight /
Grant of the world. The governors I
are the trustees of the people and,
since they are removable,
must keep peace with the benefici
aries of the trust. ....4
