To understand the secret of beauty

when the average woman begins to
realize that the skin is really an or

covering, she will be on the road to
a clearer complexion.
In reality, the skin is one Of the
body's greatest indicators of internal
conditions-and to keep it clear and
clean and healthy means that the
internal organisms must be function

Right here. sleep becomes impor-

calories is no longer considered es-

"a liberal and persistent daily use
of simple foods which do not upset

worldwide significance of the Amer
lean struggle for freedom than those
in which the name of Thaddeus Kos
ciuszko has figured.
His name and fame were revived
last summer when press dispatches
carried the news that the bronze urn
containing the heart of this Polish
patriot and friend of American free
dom had been reclaimed by his native
land. They were revived at the Sara
tOga celebration in New York last
month when hOnOrs were paid. among
others, to this youth whose organizing
work won for him the title of Father
of American Artillery" and who select
ed and planned the fOrtifcatfon of
Bemis Heights which had such an
important part in Burgoyne's defeat.
1t was at the Saratoga celebration,
too, that there was launched nation
wide campaign among teachers and
school children of America to raise
funds for the endowment of a scholar
ship, to be known as "The George
Washington Scholarship of the Kosci-
uSzko Foundation" which will provide
$4,000 for the education alternately
of student from Poland at an Amer
lean university and of an American
student at a Polish university. Thus
Will be perpetuated not only the Oft
repeated wish of kOsciuszkO. Let us
give our children a good education
with the virtues of justice and honor"
but also the memory of the splendid
friendship between him and the lead
er of the Continental army, who once
declared "tO his care and sedulous an
probation, the American people are
indebted for the defenses of West
Point" For it was Kosciuszko who
planned the Notifications on the Hud-
son and who, when it was later de-
cided TO found a training school for
future American officers, urged that
West Point be chosen as the site.
But most impressive of all the
events which have served TO recall the
name of KOSciusZkO was the celebra-
ton on October 16 when a new statue
of him was unveiled in the Public
garden in Boston The statue was the
gift to Boston of the Polish peOple
of New England, who raised a fund
Of $4,000 for that purpose, and on
that day more than $4,000 Americans

Of Polish ancestry marched in the
parade, at the head of which were
carried both the Stars and Stripes
and the national colOrs of Poland, to
the site of the statue where the un-
yelling and dedication took place in
the presence of many distinguished
guests.
This memorial is the work of Mrs.
TheO. A. Ruggles Kitson of Franz
ingham, Mass, noted for her own
sculptured pieces, including "The Vol
unteer" at Newburyport, Mass, an
other at Vicksburg, Miss, the Spanish
war students at Minneapolis, Mimi,
and Schenectady, n. Y, and the
Bickerdyke statue at Galesburg, Ill.,,
as we'll as for the fact that she is the
wife of Henry H. Kitson, creator of
the Lexington Minute Men" and the
Robert Burns statue in the Fenway.
The date (Sunday, October 16) of
the unveiling of this statue was espe-
cially significant. 1t was on October
II, 1917, that the Polish champion,
then at the age of seventy-one years,
met his death by a fall from his
horse, an event which the poet Camp
bell has made historic with his
Hope for a season bade the world fare
And Freedom shriek'd as Kosciuszko
fell!
The date, however, was selected
more particularly because it was on
October Is, 1776, that Kosciuszko
landed in New York with the French
expedition to aid the colonies. So the
one hundred fifty-frst anniversary of
his beginning new fight for freedom
and the one hundred tenth anni-
versary of the end of his long strug-
gle in the cause of liberty saw a great
patriotic gathering to honor him.
The whole career of Kosciuszko
was dedicated to the single purpose of
human liberty. Like KOSsuth, the
Hungarian, Lafayette, the Frenchman,
and others, he was far in advance Of
his time. He was born February -
(the birthday of another great ex-
ponent of freedom), in the year 1746,
in remote part of Lithuania. 1t was
at time when Poland was exhausted
by wars, not wars for the betterment
of the peoples of Europe, but conflicts
between ambitious sovereigns. His
father was man of noble birth and
large estates. The Young KoSciuszko
attended the Jesuit college in his
home town and in 1854 entered the
corps of cadets in the Royal School
of Warsaw. During his vacations at
home he talked with the peasants on
his fathers estate. learned of their

EIGHT MILLION
REV. BEN MATTHEWS


The BaptiStS can trace their faith
and practice back to the days OF the
apostles and Jesus Christ. Tt should
be remembered, however, that the peo-
pie now called Baptists have gone un-
der different names during the early
centuries. The Baptists were among
the very first to make themselves felt
for religious liberty in the United
States They have grown by leaps and
bounds. There are now more than
eight millions OF BaptistS in the United
States alone.
It would be almost impossible to
find a place sufficiently prepared to
entertain all the Baptists in this coun-
try in one convention. That makes it
all the more necessary that we have
more than one organization Of Bap-
fists which meet annually in their con-
ventions. Just a few days ago when
the Northern Baptist convention met
in Chicago, there were at times more
than 10000 Baptists in the congrega
cation at one time, and there were
many more in attendance at the
Southern Baptist convention at Louis
vile, KY, in May.
The Baptists have hundreds CT mis-
sionaries in the far-a-way lands who
are preaching Christ to the l3st today.
This denomination of Christian work
erS has spent several millions of, dol
lars in missionary work alone the past
year and has baptized many tl1ouS-
ands. The BaptistS are called fand

rather like to be called such. Their
church government is altogether dem
ocratic. The least and the poorest

much voice and their vote goes just
as far as the richest and the noblest.

the matter of reception of members

They believe the Bible alone is a
sufficient rule for us in faith and prac-
tice. They believe in "a regenerated

every instance precedes baptism which
is by immersion in water. Baptists

We have left to the last the intellectual and

things of the mind. 1t is true that much Of
the education till 1911 took the form Of memo
rizing the Book of Odes and the precepts of
Confucius; even so 1t might have been worse;
for man could not but be in some degree
ennobled by carrying the old masters wisdom
in his memory. But the very proverbs Of the
people indicate how education spread from
these beginnings to the widest scholarship.
