Druggist proves a friend in need

Kalispell, Mont, March 1.-Two
years ago my face was an awful
sight. The skin broke out with
pimples and blaclheads and itched
all the time. / washed it frequently
and applied various salves, but
they helped little. One day ! asked
a druggist for good cure for my
case, and that night / took home a
small jar of Resinol Ointment.
Every morning and night I'washed
nv face and applied the ointment,
rubbing it in good. After few
treatments / noticed the pimples
were starting to decrease and in
two or three weeks they were prac-
tically gone. I was so well pleased
with the results that / now keep
Resinol on hand and recommend Il
whenever can" (Signed) Elkin z.

by Lenroot that someone had con-
trbutcd 100000 for distributing half
Il million copies Of propagandist
publication printed in Washington in
the La Toilette behalf.
La Toilette has been invited TO
bring on his own senatorial primary
investigating committee to Wiscon-
son to investigate himself. But both
sides, after the chsrges have been
hurled, sit back and cry aloud that
they are only members of Gods pa
ticnt poor.
Fairly well canvassed consensus of
opinion in strategic portions Of the
state. including Milwaukee, Madi-
son and several other points, CON
cedes by forecast IA general La
Toilette victory ON all tickets, ma
tional, state and county.
The senatorial outcome, it is pre-
dicted, will be sweeping, and the gu
bernatorial conflict between Ekern
and Zimmerman nip and tuck

didate for senator, but is not being

comeback, destined to lead Wiscon-
sin back into the Republican fold and
away from LA Folletteism' for good.
They are sangune in their expec-
tations that the manysided fight
will exhaust the La Toilette strength.
1t is more in this hope of hasten
ing disintergation within the La Fol-
lette ranks that the stalwarts are
girding for the battle, rather than
hoping for present victory.

vaudeville is a matter of concen-

YOU stop working for one second you

1T Is also largely a question of
selling personality. 1t is the artist

Michael Arlen Again.

MICHAEL ARLEN, whose story,
1A"The Dancer of Paris" has just
been screened, has had a sensational
literary career. His novel. The
Green Hat" has sold over 100 900
copies.
His plays. "The Green Hat" and
'"These Charming People have played

have been enacted.
But to revert to Mr.. Arlen. 1t was
he of whom a Caustic British critic
said, in a general review, that to any
one who had read his most popular
novels Arlen was obviously every
other inch a gentleman"

digs at the young fictionist. On the
contrary. he has been easily the most
lonized figure of the year among the
literatti 1t has poked a great deal of
ingenious fun at him. hut no barbed
Sarcasms.
Probably the most amusing bit of
raillery hurled at him in New York
was uttered by Irwin 5. Cobb at
dinner in Arlens honor. During the
course of his remarks Cobb declared
that he took no stock in the wild tale
that Arlen was an Armen nian. II have
known him for more than an hour,
said he "and he hasn't yet tried to
sell me a rug
It is considered a high tribute to
the discretion and the ability of Al
Santell that in his picturization Of

the Arlen flavor as well as the basis
of the Arlen plot and the fundamen-
