Dear Miss Leeds-Please write para
graph on how to Tighten black facial
hairs. ANMORE.
Answer-You may use a lotion made
Of three parts Of peroxide and one part
Of ammonia. Be sure to get strong
grade of peroxide, at least 10 volumes,
as indicated on the bottle. Buy the
ammonia at drug store. This makes
a strong bleach and win tighten the skin
too much II you are not careful in ap-
plying it. Comb the hairs so that they
stand straight up and apply the bleach
on a small piece Of absorbent cotton on
the end OF an orangewood stick or q
toothpick. Try not to get the fumes Of
the ammonia into your eyes. It would
be an advantage to have some one. else
do the bleaching for you. Apply once

Answer-(I) The change in color may
be due to the shampoo you are using,
or to failure to rinse of all the soap
after washing your hair. Exposure to
the sun without hat may also bleach
black hair to a rusty red shade. Use
tar shampoo liquid or pure CASTLE. soap
for washing your hair. Rinse and dry
well. If the hair Is at all inclined to
be dry have a hot oil treatment with
castor or olive oil before you shampoo.

A Sermon for Today
Education and the Nation.

~A0AS1 SAVA4 anu tAAC 8NotlUus
Text: with all thy getting get un-
derstanding."- Prov, tv.7.
America is busy getting. We are
getting a lot Of wealth, an abundance
OF luxuries-and some education. Our
school bill has reached the sum of
$4,000, 100000. Magnificent! But if
we are earning as we are told, 20 bill
lions year more than it takes to live,
nothing like a proper proportion of
this surplus goes to education Yet
education is the main thing-more i'm
portant than all the wealth we may
get and all the luxuries wealth can
buy.
The sure foundation of nation is
laid, not In wealth, not in fine houses,
not in Injuries and pleasures, but in
an educated citizenship. When Ed
mund Burke was asked what he con-
ceived to be the chief security of a ma
ton, his answer was one word: "Edu-
cation" In similar vein, Daniel Web
ster said: Education, to accomplish
the ends Of good government, must be
universally diffused"
Especially is education vital to a
democracy such as ours, for no democ-
racy can long exist If its citizens are
uneducated. That great champion sof
democracy, Thomas jefferson, said: eff
a people expect to be ignorant and free,
they expect what never was and never
can be-" It Is not surprising to learn
that this great democrat and states
man, though author of the Declaration
of Independence and one Of our most
successful Presidents, counted the
founding Of the University of Virginia
as the GROWING achievement of his
life. He recognized that the only way
to make democracy safe was to make
the people safe, and that the people
could be made sole only through edu-
cation.
With all our getting, let US get eeiu-
characterization of the heart as we'll
as the head.

to remove many little warts gradually
spreading all over the neck? AMY.
: Answer-These little blemishes often
go away without any effort being made
to dislodge them. Sometimes the proc
ess may be fastened by applying lemon
Juice to each wart several times day
to dry 1t UP. Another simple home
treatment Is to rub cold cream on tbs

used to remove warts, but I do not

Incidentally. the coolest spot in town

around IS, the highest record at the
monuments entrance was so. It went
down as low as 40. This was due to a
