You hear such phrases as a "clever
liar" There is no such thing. It's a
contradiction In terms. "a liar has
need of a good memory" is an old say
ing. He has need Of no such thing
A bad memory is his best servant. In
fact, all the hatterlng things that are
said about the telling Of untruths are
themselves untrue. Moreover, 1t
shakes ones faith in progress to listen
to the witnesses at a senate Inquiry.
King Solomon said that all men were
liars. If after 5000 years the best that
can be done in the way Of falslfylng
was what has been done before the
Teapot Dome inquiry, then the world
must be going backward, for King Sol
omon would hardly have given way to
wrath over such feeble attempts to de-
ceive as have been listened to In the
senate Office building.

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
We approach that season of the
year when it has been the custom of
the American people to give thanks
for the good fortune which the bounty
of providence, through the generosity
of nature, has visited upon them. It
is altogether a good custom 1t has
the sanction of antiquity and the ap-
probation of our religious convictions.
In acknowledging the receipt of di-
vine favor in contemplating the bless
ings which have been bestowed upon
us, we shall reveal the spiritual
strength of the nation.
The year has been marked by the
continuation of the peace whereby our
country has entered into a relation
ship of better understanding with all
the other nations of the earth. Ways
have been revealed to us by which
we could perform very great service
through the extension of financial as
sistance. and through the exercise of a
spirit of neighborly kindness to less
favored peoples. We should give
thanks for the power which has been
given into our keeping, with which we
have been able to render these serv-
ices to the rest of mankind
At home we have continually had
q inn rNrOtriucr OF nf 10
health. The production of our indus
tries has been large and our harvests
have been bountiful. We have been
remarkably free from disorder and re
markably successful in those pur-
suits which flourish during a state of
domestic peace. An abundant pros
perity has overspread the land. We
shall do well to accept all these fav-
ors and bounties with a becoming hu-
mility and dedicate them to the serv-
ice of the righteous cause of the Giver
of All Good and Perfect Gifts. As the
nation has prospered let all the peo-
pie show that they are worthy to pros
per, by rededicating America to the
[ service of God and man.
lAtl tlAlE &c l. AdlF III NfbblluEts Bl fol-
dent of the United States of America.
| hereby proclaim and fix Thursday,
the twenty-seventh day of November,
as a day for national thanksgiving. I
recommend that the people gather in
their places of worship and at family
affairs and offer up their thanks for
the goodness which has been shown
to them in such a multitude of ways.
Especially I urge them to supplicate
the Throne of Grace that they may
gather strength from their tribula-
tions, that they may gain humility
from their victories, that they may
bear without complaining the burdens
that shall be placed upon them and
that they may be increasingly worthy
in all ways of the blessings that shall
come to them.

BETTER THAN CALOMEL

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets--the sub
Stitute for Calomel-are a mild hut

little olive-colored tablets are the re-
suit of DR.. Edwards determination not
to treat liver and bowel complaints
with calomel.
The pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does. but have no
bad after effects. They don't inture
the teeth like strong inquids or calo-
mel. They take hold of tho trouble
and quickly correct it. Why cure the

My quest Of beauty cost mother
and me at least 100000. We search
ed the world to get the best that
science had to offer.
But those helps made me famous
as beauty. And they have kept
me youthful beauty to my grand
old age.
Now I want others to enjoy those
same helps. I have arranged so all
may get them. Any girl or woman
may use all my helps at a cost not
over soc per week.
White Youth Clay
My skin is like a babys yet mine
is a grandmother age, 1 owe that
largely to a superclay which France
created for me.
Not like the crude and muddy
clays so many still employ. This clay
is white, refined and dainty. 1t is
based on 20 years of scientific study.
No old-time clay brings comparable
results.
1 call this my White Youth Clay.
1t purges the skin of all that clogs it

glow which so amazes and delights.
1t combats all lines and wrinkles,
reduces enlarged pores.

Be Careful What You Wash
Your Child'S Hair With

If you want to keep childrens hair
in good condition, DO careful what
you wash it with.
Many soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much free alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brit
tie, and is very harmful. Mulsified
Cocoanut oil shampoo (Which is pure
and entirely greaseless). is much
better than anything else you can
use for shampooing. as this cannot
possibly injure the hair.
Simply moistcn the hair with wa
ter and rub it in. Two or three
teaspoonfuls will make an album
dance of rich, creamy lather, and
cleanse the hair and scalp thorough
~. The lathcr rinses out easily, and
removes every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excess oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
1t fine and silky, bright, fluffy, wavy
and easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo at any drug store. 1t Is
inexpensive. and n few ounces will
last for months.

Merton, Pa, Cricket Club.
This is Ga fewer than the number
classed as eligible for the 1928 cham

be made only after thorough investi-
cation. Entries Of players not on the
list may be filed on or before August
20 and the committee will make
known its decision upon them at least
a week prior to the championship.
Although the eligibility list prac-
tically has been based on handieaps
Of four or less no hard and fast rule
has been applied in making up the
roster as a result of the decision of
the U. S. c. A. to also consider tour
nament records and personal know
ledge of players in passing on their
eligibility qualifications.
The new list is headed by Max r.
Marston Of Philadelphia, the amateur
titleholder. and an honor roll Of 16
former champions. Leading players
in all sections Of the country are en-
rolled, including district, champions
