my Skin Nearly
Drove Me Mad"

Il had pimples and blackheads so
badly, and used to squeeze them
so much that my face looked red
and raw. On the advice of a
nurse friend I got jar of Rowles
Mentho Sulphur and used it
faithfully for ten days. In 3 days
time there was a big difference
in my skin and today it is as soft
and clear as my ten year old sis
ter'S."
The sulphur in Rowles Mentho
Sulphur clears the skin while the
Menthol heals the sore, broken
tissue That's the twofold action
you want for skin troubles. Try
Rowles Mentho Sulphur not only
for pinples and blackheads,- but
for dry, Scaly skin, rash, and itch
ing eczema. TT WORKS! All
druggists sell it in jars ready to
use. Be sure it's Rowles.

Bitter Enemies Once
Yet, only a little while ago
you were bitter enemies-and
now you are brothers! How
could such a miracle happen.
It happened because you grew
WISE+because you found UN-
DERSTANDING.
AS wisdom growS-bitterneSS
decreases. If you want to get
rid of bitterness, GET WISE.
And that goes for more than
the bitterness you feel against
people-it goes, too, for the Late
and suspicion and resentment
you're feeling against condi-
tions. So easy to think that
you're in the grip of q malign
conspiracy! But you're not!
You're simply in the grip OF
stupidity.
The Powers !That-Be aren't q
group of arch fiends-devilishl
clever and cruel-plotting to
rob common folk like you and
me Of our small hope and hap
piness.
They are simply sapS like
ourselves-well intentioned but
befuddled saps. Men are willing
to do the decent, sensible thing,
but don't know how to get
going. Understand that and
you'll eliminate your bitterness
which is far worse for you
than any amount Of hard times.
For bitterness buys you moth
ing but grief. It doesn't pun
ish the other fellow but it does
poison you. It robs you Of any
advantage you may have-gives
the other fellow all the breaks.
bitterness will always bind and
blind you. Only wisdom will
Set you free. If for no other
reason than your own personal
profit, cut out bitterness. Get
wise!

Stop and Think
In other wordS-the wiser
you are, the less you'll hate,
the less you'll be mad. IF you
were truly 100 per cent wise,
you wouldn't be mad at all!
Don't believe it2 Stop and
think about it.
You CAN'T hate a man if
you understand him. For if
you really understand that
man, you will no longer see him
as a deliberate fiend, a liar, a
coward, a. crook. You will see
him as he sees himself. You
will see him in his hidden weak
ness and confusion and fear,
hunger and shame. You will
see the hurts in him which
have made him want to hurt
you. You will see his secret
dreams and prayers and his fu-
tile rebellions.
And something will happen
to you when you see that. You
will become interested. become
involved in that mans prob
lem. You will stop thinking of
him as your enemy. You will
begin thinking of him as q fel-
low man. You will be amazed
to find that his dreams and re-
bellions are like your dreams
and rebellions-that he has suf-
fered and been ashamed as you
have suffered and been ashamed.
And suddenly you'll feel very
close to that man. AS close
as though you were his brother.
You'll want to tell him you
understand. You'll want to

Senator Kern Led

The Fight
In those days there were
Theodore Dreisers to brave
the fury of the gang by going
into the terror-stricken re-
gion. One of these was the
gallant wife of Fremont
Older, the great journalist of
the Pacific Coast. She wrote
a series of articles which ap-
peared: AS we recall, in the
Outlook. She was denounced
as a "red," and her distin-
guished husband came in for
a deluge Of abuse.
It all seemed so impossible
to us then; that such condi-
tions could exist in America
seemed impossible. 1t seemed
so unthinkable that the
agencies of power remote
from the scene Of the trouble
should have been so keenly
interested in the suppression
of the facts.
We recall the astonish-
ment of Kern when he was
kept busy at the long-dis-
tance telephone listening to
the appeal of some railroad
executives and men high in
the field of finance. One
day a lifelong friend in very
high financier circles called
him on the phone to beg him
to drop the investigation he
was trying to force by a
resolution.
"1'll see you in hell first -
win that the Senator
hung up the receiver and
then told me of the conversa-
tion. He went into the Sen
ate and in one of the most
bitter battles ever waged in
the chamber forced his reso-
luton through.
The fight against the in
vestigation was led by
Senator who previously had
been a Federal judge, and it
later developed that he had
been a stockholder in the
mines when he sat in judg-
ment on the bench. =, -.

nesses: but if she lost them
all, he would cease to find her
interesting.
A woman doesn't have to
have a good reason for being
jealous-an she needs is a good
imagination.
Once a, woman has permitted
a man to think that she is in
love with him, she might as
well try to unscramble an egg
as to attempt to get that notion
out of his consciousness.
It is all right to coddle your
husband a little; but when you
start picking up his things and
waiting on him as though he
were a prima donna, you are
simply running him for his next
wife.
Marriage may be full of prob
lens, heartacheS and surprises,
these hectic days; but you must
admit that there are very few
dull moments in it.
A man is not old when his
arteries begin to harden and

can't even IMAGINE himself
