WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-Cal-
vim Coolidge today was running
against the field-republicans and
democrats alike-in the presidential
sweepstakes III 1924.
The President S appointment of
F. Bascom Slemp, ex-Virginia con
gressman, as his secretary, left no
doubt in the minds of political lead
ers that down east Dixie com
bination for Coolidge was well un-
der way.
With New England and Southern
delegations sewed up for Coolidge
before rivals take the field, repub
lican aspirants are beginning to
fear the Yankee President will
make runaway race for the re-
publican nomination.
As it stands today Coolidge is
way out in front, running strong,
and only one democrat is in sight
Senator Underwood of Alabama.
However there is much activity be-
hind the scenes. William G.. Nc
Adoo is as silent as the President
was formerly reputed to be but the
forces behind the adopted Califor-
nian are busy as beavers.
Johnson's Friends Active
Friends of Senator Hiram John
son, while taken by surprise by the
sudden Coolidge movement, are not
idle. The senator himself is in New
York today to discuss the situation
with some of his staunchest politi-
] cal friends.

You III Get Rid of
BLackheads 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 calo-
mite powder from any drug store
sprinkle little on hot, wet cloth
rub over the blackheads briskly-
wash the parts and you will be sur
prised how the blackheads have dis
appeared. Big blackheads, little
blackheads, no matter where they are.
simply dissolve and disappear. Black
heads are a mixture of est and dirt
and secretions that form in the pores
of the skin. The calCnite powder and
the water dissolve the blackheads so
they wash right out, leaving the pores
free and clean and in their natural
condition.
