~ ARIS.-As a general rule the
- French state of mind toward
Americans is not correctly ap-
Il preciated in the United States.
The relations between the two
countries are somewhat warped by the
press clippings transmitted daily.
When one opens newspaper today
one sees therein scarcely anything other
than crimes and felonies, accidents and
Incidents and one might suppose that
life consists only of perpetual tragedies,
whereas in reality. tragedy is the excep-
ton which contrasts with the uni
formity of daily life. Similarly in rela-
tions between peoples. what is reported
relates mostly to divergences Of views,
to anxieties and to clouds; these re-
ports fail to indicate the current
thoughts.
Now, truth compels the statement
that there exists in France a veritable
infatuation for the United States and
very great curiosity concerning its his
tory, its magnificent development and
even its popular tastes.

Blackheads,Pores
---how Awful!

Now don't worry over large pores,
unsightly blackheadS, wrinkles
and perspiration that makes the
skin shiny and oily. Out in Hol-
lywood they have the recipe for
an amazing lotion that quickly
corrects these flaws and makes
the skin beautiful. It succeeds
even when the finest special
soaps and creams have failed.
The very minute you pat it on
the face and neck it gets down
deep into the skin and cleans out
the dirt that solidifies in the
cores and causes blackheadS.
Gently it tightens up the skin,
erases wrinkles and closes the
pores.
Soon, very soon, this lotion
makes the skin smooth, good-look-
ing and thereafter keeps it youth
fully fresh, You'll notice, too.
that oiliness has disappeared and
perSpiration doesn't bother you
any more.
Get 8 ounces of Orchard White
from any druggist, mix it with
the juice of 2 lemons. This gives
you a full quarter-pint of the
finest preparation you have ever
used. Try it.
Note. In the summer this lotion
keeps the skin soft, free from
treckleS and guards against that
1edthery look caused By IUi1rd and
sun.
