BLACKHEADS SHOW
 YOU, ARE CARELESS
Tremendous Use of the Fa- nous Black and White Beauty Creations Is Proving This More
 and More Every Day

Not so long ago renowned autho : ity on the care of the complexion said: Show me person who has ugly blackheads in their face and neck, and I will show you one who
 is either not giving their skin any attention and care at all, or is care less in not using the one sure and easiest way to keep these complexion ruiners away"
 How true this is. Women and girls especially will try to hide blacllheads instead of getting rid of them, and It is really so easy to do it there is no excuse for anyone being humili>lted by going along the street showing that they do not give their skin the proper care.
 Just take a few seconds every night and first clean the face with Black and White Cleansing Cream: then, after wiping this off with towel, apply film of Cold Cream to be ab- sorbed by the skin to supply the oils which the wind and weather have beaten out during the days exposure.
 This makes your skin live, active, and blackheads literally wash out after you do this one or two nights because they are softened and forced out by the fine ingredients used in making the Black and White Beauty Creations. You will be so delighted with the way these Creations make and keep your skin clear, rosy and charming that you won't let night go by without giving your face these few seconds of attention.

MEN MERE BEASTS OF BURDEN WHEN DANCE CONTEST 0N.
Expert Easily Explains Why Girls Win All Terpsichor-
 can MarathonS

CHICAGO, April 1S.-The most sur prising and interesting feature of the prevalent epidemic of endurance dancing contests has been the revela- tion of the fact that the female of the species apparently can outdance the male.
 The half dozen girls who have held the long distance terpsichorean title during the past few days are each credited with wearing out from four to a dozen male partners as well as long lists of shoes. stockings, phono- graphs, piano players and the like.
 Here, it has been argued is con elusive proof that the nations future mothers have it all over the future fathers in point of stamina, and that all past babble of a physically de- generating womanhood must have been bunk and nothing more.

 Husky As Ever.
 It develops. however. that this log ical conclusion has been reached on false premise; that as matter of fact, the future fathers are probably as husky as they ever were, and have been wrongly blamed for an infcrl- ority which does not exist.
