Get Rid of PIMPIES

Perhaps you have every reason to be discouraged after trying all sorts of high priced salves and lotions which failed to bring help to your pimply skin.
 One things certain - you never used Peterson's Ointment because Peterson's is the one sure method that won't fail to eradicate the worst, most obstinate case of blem- ished skin.
 One application-your pimples and blackheads start to go-in a couple of days eruptions have heal ed, your face Is remarkably clearedI Continued use gives you complex ion utterly free from any irritation -delicately smooth-clear.
 Mary Metinko of Rankin, Pa. writes: "Ever since I can remember I have had pimplcs on my face but after I got a box of PeterSon's Oint- nent I found that 1t works like magic, I recommend 1t to all my friends"
 Ofttimes pimples entirely disap- pear in three days and one 35 cent box will prove it-All drugstores.

Thorre rose from his crouching po- sition and launched himself into space.
 Fifteen feet from the house grew a giant elm, its great branches wis ihle against the sky line. and it was one of them that Thorne caught on his leap from the window ledge. Pulling himself astride the branch, he climbed toward the trunk of the tree. then, hand over hand swarre up it and out along a branch above the ledge of the dormer window.
 The branch he bcstrode, while five feet or more higher. was not directly over the dormer window and to jump from 1t to the narrow ledge was feat at which many would shy even in broad daylight.
 Even as he hesitated light flashed on m the room with the dormer window. Who in the house. hold could enter the workshop when Inspector Mitchell, according to Lambert, had the only key which fitted the lock? According to Lambert, ah, but Lambert had lied. or else the original key to the door was the one used by the intruder. What more likely even, than that the intruder was Jack Winslow?
 Knowing that the door of the workshop could not be opened with out using forse or spending valua- able time picking the lock while running the risk of discovery Thore had chosen the more ven- turesome way of gaining admittance via the dormer window.
 Intuitively he had realized that something of more importance than four bare walls lay within the locked door.
 And now another had gotten there first!
 Suddenly the light in the room was obscured as a huge shadow on the lowered shade plotted it out. Gradually the shadow grew less, took form, and before Thorne's starA ing eyes, whirling, dancing figure was outlined against the cream-c col ored window shade. SWaying this way and that, in perfect rhythm, the figure danced with a grace and abandon that took no note of time

mold Winslow and his wife stalked inside, aroused the butler from his stupefaction.
 And to think we've been waiting a. your office for an hour or two, exclaimed Winslow.
 Mrs. Winslow retired at once, and Thorne then informed Winslow of Mrs. Lawrence's death. At his en- ployers suggestion, the detective telephoned a notice to the Washing ton morning papers offering s10,000 reward for information regarding Jacks whereabouts. They talked long after midnight. and Winslow offered Thorne the use of his guest room for the remainder of the night.
 That's very good of you. Tel me, MT. Winslow, what about Jack $ workroom in your attic?"
 I'm dashed if I understand it." he exclaimed. There isn't a thing left in the room"

 What, now?" somewhat startled at the idea. Sure. come along"
 The attic was dark and WinsloW spent some seconds fumbling for the electric switch near the ele- vator. It controlled number of lights along the attic and the two men proceeded at once to the door at the further end. Thorne, reach ing there first, turned the door ! knob. To his surprise it resisted his efforts and he looked at Wins low.
 "The doors locked" he said. Winslow stared first at him and then at the door, then, raising a trembling finger, he announced in d queer voice:
 '"The key was left in the lock when the locksmith and I went away; damn me, it was." Thorne shook the door, then used his strength to turn the knob; both efforts were useless.
 Back in the den, they were met by Lambert.
 You were there, Lambert" ex- claimed Winslow. Wasn't the key left in the lock of the door to MT. Jacks workshop tonight?"
 The butler shook his head. No, sir" he said respectfully. "Inspec- tor Mitchell took it."
 In his bedroom, Thorne closed and locked the door, pocketing the ley. Taking from his pocket d small block of wood he whittled it down, shaping it deftly, so that it fitted tightly in the keyhole, leav- | ing no crack through which prying eyes might see.
 From his coat pocket he took a pair of creepers and, removing his shoes, slipped them on; then stand ing up he took off his white shirt. Underneath it he wore close fit ting black silk jersey, while strapped under that was a narrow, flexible belt of woven silk, some what resembling a cartridge belt Each little pocket carried a burg lars tool of finest steel.

A butter shortage will face Indi-

Butter stocks in storage in the

Low prices prevailing for butter
during the winter encouraged use
Of butter rather than butter sub

sumption has been the increased
use of butter by milk producers,
according to officials Of the Indiana

Loweprices have proven disastrous
to milk production, since many
farmers took advantage of compare
lively high beef prices to sell off
milk cattle and especially to dis

FIRE INEFFICIENCY
DECISION IMPENDS
Safety Board TO Discuss
Charges Advanced by
The Times.
BY DICK MILLER

When the board of safety meets
Tuesday, charges of inefficiency in
Indianapolis fire department, pub
lished in The Times during the last
two weeks, again will await its con-
Sideration.
Whether the board will act on
any of these charges, or support
efforts of Fire Chief Harry Voshell
to let matters stand as they are, is
a question to be answered only at
the board session.
1t will, however, act on his rec
ommendation of retirement of two
fire department veterans, both
Gamewell operators, upon one OF
whom Chief Voshell last week
placed blame for an alleged typo
graphical error in GameweH divi-
sion reports Of the American Fom-
dry Company fire, Jan. 25. Firemen
have been charged with several
blunders that were responsible for
considerable portion of the 100000
loss.
1--WE need younger men," Chief
VosheIl told the board, without ex-
planation Of assignment Of young
and active men to inactive posts
in the safety board office, con-
troller's office, as investigators for
the fire prevention department,
and to the paint and repair de-
partment, where older men could
serve as well.
Before the board last Tuesday,
William Tallentire, who with Frank
Sloan, is recommended for retire
ment, denied having erred in copy
ing the report OF the American
Foundry fire, which gave Battalion
Chief Oscar Hupp benefit of five
minutes in turning in a second
alarm. Voshell, and William B.
Gr1ffis, Gamewell superintendent,
declare Hupp absorbed eleven min
utes in turning in the second alarm.
'There are men in the Gamewell
division older than T." Tellentire told
the safety board.
Charges made In The Times of
ineficiency at the American Foun-
dry fire included: Clumsy handling
of equipment, dispatching Of fire
apparatus to fire box four blocks
from the blaze, and delay in turning
in the second alarm.
Thursday afternoon, when the
same box was pulled for grass fire,
Battalion Chief J. w. Blackwell,
district three, turned in pressure
off" signal, signifying the fire was
out, in five minutes from the time
Of the first alarm.
