WASHINGTON. Feb. 49,
NV Uncle Sam, through his Blu
IL reau of Mines, is fighting
Americas smoke menace.
BY practical experiments and
preaching cooperation and education
he is trying to abate the nuisance
which Is costing the country's citi-
gems nearly one billion dollars yearly
in money and taking it's heavy toll
Of health.
The money loss is accounted for
by extra laundry and cleaning bills,
damage to household goods, harm to
stocks in stores and WAREHOUSES and
decrease in property values.
But of far greater moment are
the acute lung disease-pneumonia,
tuberculosis, bronchitis and pIeurisy
either caused or aggravated by
corrosive smoke fumes
Beside all this. Investigators agree
that a smoke-laden atmosphere
means morbid population; 1t low
ers efficiency and increases crime and
suicide.
Uncle Sam knows that the smoke
menace can be reduced to one-tentn
It's present proportions. Osborn Mon

The answer is education and CO

IF smoke abatement were merely
an engineering problem 1t would pre-
sent no difficulty. But 1t is not so
much an engineering problem as a
psychological one. The attitude of
the public is more important than
the technical questions involved.

There's a little song that the chill

Facial cleanliness.
By Edna Wallace Hopper

Thousands Of women ask me how
! made myself a famous beauty.
And how kept my youthful bloom
to my grand old age.
There are many reasons. One Of
the greatest was taught me by Lucie
Lantelme, a famous Partisan beauty
She never used soap on Their face,
nor have I since l met her. She
used no cleansers based on animal
or vegetable fats.
She gave me a formula which all
the greatest beauty experts now
employ. 1t cleans the skin to the
depths. 1t removes all the Crime,
dirt and oil which interfere with
beauty. But it does not assimilate
with the skin. Not a drop can be
absorbed 1t simply leaves the skin
entirely clean.
That is the first step to skin
beauty A clean skin, without blem-
ishes, blackheads or mars. / know
no other way to get it, nor do you.
Now / have arranged so that all
girls and women may enjoy this
luxury. 1 call it my Facial Youth.
All toilet counters now supply it,,
exactly the same as Lucie Lantelme
furnished it to me.
A great laboratory now prepares it
for me. ] wish you would try it--any
woman who wants to look her best.
You cannot do it. / am sure, without
my Facial Youth. Please clip this

are most likely to be the ones who
are tortured this way. Just remem-

teaser is only trying to cover up
some defect OF his own by pointing
out yours.
