BIackheads Can
Be Troublesome

Shaving soap is recommended be-
cause it makes a rich lather and
by rubbing it into the skin it is
forced into the pores. Any bland
soap will serve but the suds must
be thick and cracking. Every bit
must be rinsed away; warm water
performs that service better than
cold. After the thorough scrubbing,
dip heavy wash cloth in hot water,
give the flesh a good steaming to
neal pimpleS and dislodge the black
points.
Applications of a soda solution
after the drying has been found
helpful in many cases. Dissolve one
teaspoonful of baking soda is a cup
OF water, apply with a pledget of
cotton, let it dry on. The soda COM
bines with and SoftenS the Sebace-
GUS distractions in the pores.
This treatment should be given at
night wnen the skin will not be
exposed to strong winds or sun
light. In the morning use clear
tepid water and the soda solutions
again. If the flesh feels dry and
drawn, tiny bit of cold cream can
oe used.
AVOID FATS
Medical men who deal with .di-
seaSes of the. skin and scalp have
various methods of treatment and
If acne does not respond to home
treatment professional advice should
oe sought. Chronic acne burrows so
deeply into the flesh that it is often
difficult to overcome the Infection.
A fat-free diet is recommended
Fats excite the SebaceOuS glands.
Young people who are fond of pastry
get more butter than they need.
Fruit juices, green salads, vegetables
of all kinds have a favorable effect
upon the complexion. Plenty of
water should be taken each day.
Constipation, If present, must be
corrected.
The daily bath with warm suds
and a heavy brush is a necessary
detail because it helps the skin to
function normally all over the body
surface. A quick cold shower helps
the blood to skip along at a brisk
rate and a brisk ru60c1 nth a
coarse towel gives freshness and
softness to the epidermal surface.

Young girls who are beset with
dust-filled pores and horrid little
red pustules need a guiding hand tc
help them along the beauty way
Many times in their ignorance they
make matters worse. There is the
one who has heard that sticking
to cold water treatments will cure
her complexion ills. Cold water has
no effect upon dust and oil that
film the skin, and it is inclined to
make the waxlike plugs in the pore

guided lassie who tries one cream
after another in a futile attempt
to clear up her complexion. What
she does is to spread the infection.
Acne responds to warm soap Suds,
which is of antiseptic value and
dries up the errlptions. Oils, unless
of a medicated nature keep the

4 GRAVE CHARGE AGAINST
faE PRESIDENT

/. Seldom in the history of the United
States has there been graver charge
/. against President than that indicated
I by Sen Gerald P. Nye when he said
senate investigation may disclose that
Secretary of War Harry Woodring re-
signed because he was ordered to turn
over to the Allies in Europe the closely
: guarded secret of Americas bomb sight.
Sen. Nye did not say that the alleged
order came from President Roosevelt
but there is no other source from which
an order could be directed to cabinet
member.
! If the charge is substantiated, consider
3; ing the temper of the American people
at this time, the incident may mean the
! political death of President Roosevelt.
1t is one thing to help the Allies with
; planes and materials Ninety-nine per
cent of the people in the United States
are in favor of such help.
! 1t is another thing entirely to strip
this country Of its defenses and its mill
, tary secrets, to give them to some other
nation. That is thing the people will
not stand for.
Our own safety, after all, is our para
mount consideration, Possibly Sen. Nye
was speaking as a politician. Possibly
there is no truth in what he said. If
that is SO, Sen. Nye himself has earned
and will deserve the stern disapproval
of the people, not only of his own state
but of the entire nation. Such a charge
as he has voiced should not be made
lightly.
Now that the charge has been made,
President Roosevelt owes it to the peo-
pie to clear up the reasons for Secre-
,tary Woodrings resignation The SEN
ate owes it to the people to see that it
is cleared up, even if it has to demand
publication of the secretary's letter of
resignation, which the White House said
at first was "too personal" to be released
to the public. Nothing can be "too per-
sonal" when the welfare of the entire
nation is at stake Nobody's feelings can
be spared in situation as gravely dam
gerous as this one may be.
If the nations chief executive is giving
away the country's military secrets, the
people have right to know it.
If politicians are using downright lies
to embarrass the chief executive at
time like this, the people have right to
know that, too.
BY all means let us have an investiga-
tion-and a thorough one.

MILITARY TRAINING
FOR ALL AMERICANS

If there is danger that the United
States will be threatened on her own
soil, as there now seems to be- by all
means this country should adopt COM
pulsory training for all young men-at
least for the duration of the emergency,
whether it be one year or fifteen.
France fell because she had grown
soft She did not have enough soldiers,
enough guns, enough military brains.
We cannot afford to sit back and say,
what happened to France can never
happen to u.s." It can hapen to US. And
it will happen, Just as surely as we re-
main soft and lazy.
1t would be contradictory policy
which turned out thousands of airplanes
and millions of guns for defense of the
United States-and left out the men to
handle them. Machines are of primary
Importance in modern warfare, but ma
chimes cannot fight > war alone. Men
are needed to handle them.
1t is not enough to say that We will
sacrifice our money to pay for arms
we must also sacrifice our leisure SO
that We may be able, if the time comes,
to use those arms.

Jobs for June
Graduates
BY BYRON MITCHELL
Chief of Employment Service
SoniaI Sanurify Rnard

Jobs for 346,376 persons under
q were found by the local offices
of State employment service dur
ing the last six months of 1899.
Vocational guidance, provided by
BOG cities in AZ states and the Dis
trict of Columbia is largely respon-
sible in helping many high school
and college graduates find their
first Jobs and tackle them intelli-
gently. Counsel is given to por-
ton of the 1,750,O00 young persons
who leave school and enter the labor
market each year
Those who register with their
local public employment office be-
fore they go job hunting may be
given aptitude tests, if necessary,
to determine what their most con-
genial occupation is.
The counSelors examine their
school records, instruct them in
the best methods developed for
getting jobs and keeping them
They are also contact men for en-
blowers and graduates, trying TO
interest employers in hiring prom
ising but inexperienced youngsters.
If a young man wants to be an
aviator, for example, but cannot
pass the tests for flying cadets,
he may want to do ground work,
or AVIATION mechanics. If he does,
the counselor will advise him in
which kind of machine shop he
can most profitably serve his APP
premiership.
Another of the counselr's Jobs
is to co ordinate the work OF
schools with opportunities in the
labor market by pointing out the
kinds of vocational training which
will be most helpful to the young
lob seeker. Perhaps most helpful
are the counselor's tips TO the grad
uate on improving first impressions.
Among the prescribed dos and
don'ts:
Say May I apply for position
as stenographer, salesperson,
comptometer operator, etc.
Be natural.
Tell specifically what skills and
experience you have. Suggest that
the employer give you practice
test
Don't wear bright fingernail pol
ish.
Don't say Are the any jobs open
here?'
Don't humble your name.
Don't think that because you do
not obtain a job after several trials
that you are failure.
