HELPFUL ADVICE TO
ACNE SUFFERERS

For acne pimples affecting the
outer or surface layer of the skin,
here is advice that will help inn
prove your complexion.
Every night at bedtime, wash
your face thoroughly with Resinol
Soap and hot water. Do not rub.
Follow with a dash of cold water
and dry thoroughly but gently.
Then apply Resinol Ointment to
the affected skin and leave it on all
night. Do this every night, and
watch the improvement.
Local treatment is advised as a
helpful aid in acne cases, and for
more than 40 years the ingredients
of Resinol have been found ef-
fective.
Resinol benefits by treating the
irritated oil ducts, where most sur
face pimples start. In this way it
aids healing of such pimples and
also tends to check their recurrence.
Buy Resinol Ointment and Soap
in any drug store. For free sam
pie, write to Resinol, Dept. 13s

CIVIL SERVICE
RULE FOR DC.
STUDIED

Suggestions for a municipal
civil service commission for the
District of Columbia today caused
the United States Civil Service
Commission to point out that the
snportionment rule does not affect
appointments in the District Gov
ernment. and that Washing
tonians receive preference in all
such appointments,
Making an announcement to
"call attention to a mlsapprehen'
sion which exists in some minds
concerning the apportlonment," "
the commission declared:
"The Civil Service rules de-
finitely provide that appoint
ments to local offices in the
District of Columbia shall not be
apportiOned on the basis OF
population. Under the authority
of an executive order of NOvem-
ber, 1880, regulations were pro-
mulgated jointly in 1892 by the
Commissioners of the District OF
Columbia and the Civil Service
Commission governing appoint
ments in branches of the govern
ment in the District of Co
lumbia.
"These regulations provided
that the principles of the act
and rules should be applied.
Among these regulations is one
which provides that preference in
certifiction will be given to
those residing in the District of
Columbia. If there are no local
or nearby eligibles available, ap-
pointments are authorized by
the Civil Service Commission
outside the register. which
means that local appointments
may still be made" .
The commission also pointed
out that while preference for high

officials of the District specified in
1892 that they wanted those with
the highest possible qualifications
to fill them. Accordingly, if no
eligibles are found here they are
taken from registers regardless of
residence.
The announcement concluded:
This principle is a standard
one which is recognized not only
by the d. c. Government ap-
pOintments but in appointments
to local civil service positions
under the Federal Government
in all parts of the United States.

District Day in the House.
The bill to change the local Ju-

disposition of the "red rider" but
action on it postponed.
Introduced by Representative
Mary T. Norton CD of New Jer-

by Representative Jack Nichols

juvenile court subcommittee.
He explained the bill to the

the present Juvenile Court law is
"antiquated" and that a large
number Of States now have laws

DONALDSONVILLE, La, Feb. 9
G.N.SO.-The death Of Miss
Genevieve Legnon, IT, Of New

at an inn, today provided authori-
ties with a puzzling case.
As a result Of the girls death
five young members of prominent
families face charges Of murder
They were taken to jail at Baton

Miss Legnon died the night Of
January 25. She was taken to
a hospital here where attendants
were told she had been in an
automobile accident.
The accident version was ac-
cepted generally, but the victims
father was not satisfied. He de-
manded an autopsy which led
to the filing of charges against
three men and two girls.
Those held are Elmo Melancon,
Lorenzo Milano, Ralph Falsetto

Miss Legnon appears to have
died as the result of being hit
by an automobile, but the ques-
ton at issue is whether it was
an accident or whether she was

SOUTHLAND RS
B Y DOWN WARD FALL
IN RICE OF COTTON
300 MILLION ESTIMATED
LOSS SINCE SPRING

The continued downward trend
in cotton price, which has depre
ciated the value of the South's
major crop by about 200 million
dollars by the end of the third
week in August, is not justified
by domestic and world economic
conditions, even though the 1887
crop may be a bumper one,
thinks j. G. Holton, commissioner
of agriculture.
"The estimated yield of 1888
900 bales is the largest since
1881, it is true" Commissioner
Holton stated, "yet, the supply
of cotton in sight is today not
excessive. At this period in each
of the years 1884, 1895, and 1886
there was in sight in round
numbers Is million bales of cot
ton. 1t was 81 million bales in
1888, % IL million bales in 1882,
and 23.1 million bales in 1881.
This year, the carry-over is 4,497,
900 bales, and this plus the esti-
mated crop gives just a little
more than 20 million bales of
cotton in sight. The increase is
not enough to utterly destroy
price.
"This enormous yield was not
caused so much by overplanting
There was rain in the Southland
where lack Of moisture is the
usual limiting factor and dry
weather in the Southeast to
minimize boil weevil damage
usually limits production. And
so, because Of good farming and
good fortune, 2 million extra
bales have cost Southern plant
ers 800 million dollars since the
high level of early Springtime,
and nearly 200 million dollars
since the August acreage fore
cast.
"To stem this destructive
downward price trend, Southern
commissioners of agriculture,
aided by N. C. Williamson, Pres
ident ACCA, and others, spent
last week in Washington seeking
a government loan and price adj
justment. We were assured a vir-
tual guarantee of 12-cents per
pound based upon either a loan
of 10-cents plus a price adjust
ment of 2-cents. We earnestly
sought the 10-cent loan.
"The proposed loan has two
distinct advantages. It will pre-
vent a disastrous slump in price,
and it will enable the farmer to
benefit by future advances in
price. 1t is hardly probable that
year will bring ideal cotton
growing conditions such as char
acterized this year. The stabliza-
ton of price at 12-cents is predi-
Gated on production control next
year, and if the future may be
judged by the past, the assurance
OF cotton acreage adjusted to
world demands next year will
Immediately lead to greatly i'm
proved price"
