You'U Get Rid of
 Blackheods Sure

There is one simple. safe and sure way that never fails to get rid of blackheads, that is to dissolve them.
 To do this get two ounces of calonite powder from any drug store-sprinkle a little on hot. wet cloth-rub over the blackheads briskly-wash the parts and you will be surprised how the blackheads have disappeared. Big blackheads, little blackheads. no matter where they are. simply dissolve and disappear. Black heads are a mixture of dust and dirt and secretions that form in the pores of the skin. The calonite powder and the water dissolve the blackheads so they wash right out. leaving the pores free and clean and in their natural condition.-AdY.

 She went to the best dressmakers she could afford and has made her self looRattractive. She is altogether different woman now, and her husband is very proud of the change. He seems to have fallen in love with his wife all over again.
 While clothes and such material things do not make people, in these days every woman owes it to her. self to be as much alive as possible. And while we may hate to admit it, 1t is indeed important to keep at tractive.

Wife-"A Good Fellow
By SOPHIE IRENE LOEB


 A woman wept bitterly because her husband had shown preference for younger woman. She could not understand it, since she had been all that a good wife could be.
 She kept his house in order and cooked his meals and made him very comfortable, and never cared for any of the "frivolities of life" as she put 1t. And what more could he want?' she bewailed.
 overheard a friend of hers talk to her something in this manner:
 -'It is some of the frivolities of life that you should have wanted. Your husband stayed away to get them Now, look at me. I am my husband s best fellow l go out with him oc- casionally when l am really not keen on it, but I have him realize that l am the good fellow he Is seeking rather than some other woman. And that Is why we have grown to be real pals"
 Now, happen to know these peo- pie and I am confident that much of the advice the friend gave Is very well founded
 While the wife Is splendid little woman in every way, she has been throwing cold water on any good times that her husband wants to have.
 l believe he was just lonesome. am sure he loves his wife dearly, but he has just joined some other people in good fellowship. and his wife has immediately jumped to the conclusion that she has lost him.
 He is of a very jovial disposition this man, and likes company occa- sionally, while his wife is rather quiet and backward and satisfied to sit by the fireside every night.
 She Is an attractive person and could have a much better time than she has if she would only conform a bit to her husbands wishes.
 l know that he does many things for her that are very often sacrifices to him. When he speaks of his wife he always does so in a kindly way, but always adds how she Is home body and is not fond of meeting peo- pie" This woman can readily straighten out such a situation, espe- cially when the man is worthwhile, as this man is.

HOOVER URGES NEW
WORKERS INSURANCE
Secretary Of Commerce Would
Protect All Working Glasses
Against Unemployment
BY HARRY HUNT
NEA Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Insur-
ance to protect workers against un-
employment was urged by Herbert
Hoover, secretary Of commerce, IN an
exclusive interview with NEA Serv-
ice here today.
/ The type Of insurance advocated
by Hoover would aim
To provide for wives ana families
Of workers when the workers are
laid off,
To stem the { ntinual migration Of
c>i.ers from pi>cc to place.
- benefit employers by enabling
them to keep the same employees
from year to year without loring ef-
ficiency by training new statfs after
every industrial depr2sa, on
unemployment insurance. in my
judgment, should be developed in the
hands of mutual, nor-governmentaI
institutions" Hoover said.
Most organized labor opposes
governmental unemployment insur-
ance. But l believe that as a volun-
tary insurance in mutual form, it
could and would meet with approval
just as all other rightly founded in
surance has proved its worth
In what way would such insur-
ance be provided?" l inquired. "Who
weuld pay the premiums? What
would be the approximate cost in
proportion to wages?"
"The workers are not the only
ones who suffer during depressions
Of employment" Hoover answered.
There is a great loss to industry
due to the scattering of workers.
The average man out of job does
does not idly wait for his job to open
rof him again. He seeks work. If
ne cannot find it in the city where
he is, he looks elsewhere.
Aids Employers, Too.
AS result, organizations are dis
rupted. There is lost time and add
ed expense in gathering new work
ers and fitting them into their lobg.
This would be saved to the en-
ployer who had taken out employ
ment insurance foe his workers. Dur
ing the period OF slacl. employment
he would be enabled TO hold his force
together.
The insurance payments would
provide for the men who had been
L.
lad off an dtheir families, Just as
sickness or accident insurance would
carry them through a period of idle
ness enforced through illness or ac.
cident."
But wouldn't that be at the
start at least-expensive insurance?
wouldn't the rates be experimental
at first, probably high and tend to
discourage employers from attempt
ing it?"

POSTOFFICE Inspector
OFFICIALLY DECLARES
BIG SUM IS MISSING
Denies Substitution OF Stock OF
Stamps Had Been
Made
RUDESILL CLAIMED ROBBERY
Nothing Known By Officials Vi
Claim Office Was Looted
In November
RUDTsELL CLAIMED ROBBERY

MACON, Feb. 19.-J. w. Cole,
postoffice inspector, officially stat
ed that the shortage in the accounts
of HilIyer Rudisill, postmaster who
killed himself Friday, amounts to
date to $86,O50.
Cole said he had not finished
checking and the work will not be
completed for two weeks. The IN
spectors denied the substitution OF
the stock of stamps had been made
by Rudisill. They said the shortage
was confined to the stock, but at this
time they were unable to proportion
the amounts in the various depart
ments.
Investigation also will be instltut-
ed as to what manner the stock room
had been checekd to this.
There was supposed to have been
100000 in stock at all times in the
postoffice, it was said. Cole said
there was not as much stock in the
vaults as shown on the books kept
by Rudisill and the period of time
which the shortage covered could
not even be estimated.
Rudisill managed the financial af-
fairs of the office for twenty-five
years.
1t was rumoTed on the street last
night that the alleged shortage of the
late postmaster represented bogus
4. packages Of stamps and stamped mat
ter carried as genuine stock in the
books of the postoffice here. In q
letter RudisiIl stated also that the
office. was robbed last November Of
an amount said to have been equal
to the shortage said to be shown by
the auditor of the accounts. Off
GERS on duty at the postoffice say
they have no knowledge that such
a robbery had been committed.
Mr.. RudisilI had been attached to
the local office for more than a
third of a century, having during
that time had complete charge of the
stock room, and even when he be-
came postmaster, continued in that
capacity rather than assign the work
to his subordinates.
Officers are reticent to give out
any information other than the Of
fetal statement as to the amount of
shortage so far revealed in the audit.

This province within a few months

The fact that Mrs. La-sandra

powerful factor against the granting
of clemency to her.
