DIDN’T KNOW
’TWAS SO GOOD
Texas Lady Storekeeper.
Who Carries Black-Draught
In Stock, Has Found It
“Best Liver Medicine”
Obtainable
Barker, Texas—Relating her experi
ence with Thedford’s Black-Draught,
Mrs. A. L. Fromme. of this place,
says: “I had for some time used
. . . and other liver medicines,
which would nauseate and make me
feel bad. We have a store, and our
customers called for Black-Draught
so often I decided it must be good,
so thought I .would try it myself.
“I began its use and found it just
fitted my case. It neither griped nor
nauseated me, was an easy laxative
and not hard to take.
“I had had headaches a great deal,
no doubt from torpid liver. The
Black-Draught would cure them. The
-=-=t way I find to take Black-
Draught is to take one or two good
sized doses until the liver begins to
act, then taper the doses to just a
pinch after meals.
"It will insure good digestion, do
away with the gas or bad taste in the
mouth, and is without doubt the best
liver medicine in the market. I have
found it so. I can recommend it to
my friends, for I believe it will do
them good.”

STATE TO GET
U. S. HIGHWAY
FUNDS, IS BELIEF
Distribution of federal funds
through the state highway board is
not likely to be halted by the pona
ing test of the validity of the motor
vehicle law, according to W. R. Neel,
state highway engineer.
On leaving Thursday for Washing
ton to attend a meeting of the ad
visory board recently created by the
federal bureau of public roads. Mr.
i.eel expressed the opinion that the
federal authorities would not sus
pend payments of the federal fund
because the validity of the motor
vehicle law has been called in ques
tion.
There were two separate acts in
the highway legislation passed by
the Georgia general assembly in
1919. One is the act establishing a
graduated scale of licenses on motor
vehicles and setting aside the re
ceipts from such licenses for high
way construction. This is known as
the motor vehicle law. The other is
the act establishing the state high
way board with general control and
supervision over the highway pro
gram. This is known as the highway
commission law.
A question involving the validity
of the motor vehicle law does not
involve the validity of the highway
commission law, as the two laws are
separate and distinct. The entire
state funds of the highway depart
ment might be tied up by a test of
the validity of the motor vehicle
law, which provides the revenue, but
yet the highway board would be in
existence just the same, and would
be qualified to act as the agent of
the federal government in the dis
bursement of the federal aid fund.
This, as explained by Mr. Neel, ’s
very fortunate for the many county
projects being financed jointly by the
counties with federal aid. Some eight
or nine million dollars’ worth ot
highway construction of this kind Is
under way in Georgia. If the federal
authorities should halt the disburse
ment of the federal fund, all of
these projects would be halted.
Guy 0. Buckner,
Accused Attorney,
Missing From Albany
ALBANY, Ga., June 3.—Charges
against Guy O. Buckner, a young at
torney of Albany, and the fact that
he had disappeared from -ds home
here, were brought to light Wednes
day when a warrant was taken out
against him by W. L. West, w’ho
charges that he sold property
against which there was a lien. It
is stated that there are other charges
against him which have been held
in abeyance pending his promised
return to the city.
Search had been made for Buckner
ever since his disappearance a week
ago last Tuesday, but nothing, was
heard from him until last Sunday
night, when the town marshal of
Jackson, Ala., reported that'he was
there. Request was made that the
Jackson officer send Buckner back
to Albany under the escort of an offi
cer, but it was stated that there was
no one there by whom he could be
accompanied. Thereupon Sheriff O.
F. Tarver, of this county, went to
Jackson, but when he arrived there
he found that Buckner had been re
leased and again disappeared. Sheriff
Tarver went as far as Mobile in
search of him, but could not lo
cate him. Buckneb left here in a
new automobile, and it is presumed
that he is still using it in his travels.
Buckner is married and has a wife
and two small children here. He was
regarded as having excellent pros
pects in his profession, and it is
known that he was entertaining am
bitions to represent Dougherty coun
ty in the legislature, having stated
I'rivately that he would enter the
race next September. He has many
firm friends here who hope that he
will soon return and straighten out
the financial difficulties in which
he is involved.
Rejected for Another,
He Shoots the Girl
BIRMINGHAM, Ala.. June 3.
Dressed in her wedding gown, and
while packing her clothes for a hon
eymoon, which was to have started
early Wednesday, following her mar
riage to John M. Sullivan, of West
Virginia, Miss Martha Dilleland,
twenty-three, of this city, probably
was fatally shot by Thomas Lam
bert, of Oakman, Ala., a jilted lover,
Wednesday morning.
Miss Dilleland had been engaged
tc Lambert, it is said, but she broke
the engagement for the sake of Sulli
van and when the disappointed lover
learned of the young woman’s plans
to marry the West Virginia man he
made his appearance at her home,
and. argument failing, he fired three
bullets into her body. Lamber es
caped and is being sought by city
and county authorities.
Sullivan is prostrated over the
turn of affairs. Miss Dilleland is
not expected to live.
Kisses Cost Money ,
Joseph Weiss, thirty-five and mar
ried, of No. 1307 Washington avenue,
the Bronx, New York, who runs a
candy store at No. 489 East 169th
street, was arraigned before Magis
trate Nolan in Night court on a
charge of disorderly conduct in hav
ing kissed eighteen-year-old Frances
Heckler of No. 3854 Third avenue
when she went into his store to buy
some candy kisses. Magistrate No
land fined Weiss $2, which he paid.’
The magistrate, in fixing the amount
of the fine, said in a judicial aside
to the clerk, “Kisses are cheaper now
since the boys came back from the
war.”
Miss Heckler was In Night Court
In a state bordering on hysterics and
testified that she had gone back of
the counter at Weiss’s invitation to
select what she wanted when he put
his arm around her and kissed her
vigorously upon the mouth. She ran
out she said, and got Patrolman Hay
of the Bathgate avenue station, who
arrested Weiss.

Rheumatism
A Home Cure Given By
One Who Had It
In the spring of 1893 I was attacked
by Muscular and Inflammatory Rheu

have it know, for over three years. I
tried remedy after remedy, and doctor
after doctor, but such relief as I re
ceived was only temporary. Finally, I
found a remedy that cured me com
pletely, and it has never returned. I
have given it to a number who were
terribly afflicted and even bedridden
with Rheumatism, and it effected a
cure In every case.
I want every sufferer from any form
of rheumatic trouble to try this mar

After you have used it and it has
proven itself to be that long-looked-for
means of curing your rheumatism, you
may send the price of it, one dollar, but

NO TRACE OF
FIVE ESCAPED
CONVICTS FOUND
At the warden’s office of -the federal
prison Thursday morning it was reported
that no trace had been found of any of the
five prisoners who made their getaway
Tuesday afternoon in a party of eight, three
of whom were recaptured almost at once.
Tuesday night, the prison authorities were
informed, a general merchandise store and
a drug store at the junction of the Jones
Spur and McDonough roads were broken
into, and it is inferred that the convicts
were the depredators, though there is no
distinct evidence to that effect. It is real
ized, however, that any hope of continu
ing at liberty depends largely on the men
getting clothing and food, and, if possible,
money.
Chief Clerk Frick. of the prison, is of the
opinion that the five men have not gone
far. He recalls that two of the prisoners,
now at liberty—Rector Sherrill and John
Duffy—escaped less than a year ago, and
lay quietly hidden for weeks in thickets
not far from the penitentiary until the
search had lapsed, when they left the vi
cinity and were ultimately captured in
Louisville.
Fred G. Zerbst, warden, put in a good
deal of time Wednesday questioning guards
and the three captured prisoners, in the ef
fort to ascertain if the escape was in any
degree due to laxity on the part of the
guards. He said it appeared inexcusable
that the guard should not have seen the
exodus of eight convicts crawling through
one small hole and running away.
America to Participate
Unofficially at Spa
Allied-German Meet
PARIS, June 3.—American particr
ipation in the coming conference with
the Germans at Spa has not not been
the subject of official instructions
from Washington, so far as can be
learned here. The United States,
however, is likely to be unofficially
represented, incidentally, through the
presence at Spa during, the confer
ence of the reparations commission,
of which Roland W. Boyden, of Bos
ton, is an unofficial member.
Made to Walk Chalk Line
To Prove He Was Sober
NEW YORK, N. Y.—Arthur Bal
linger was . arraigned before Magis
trate Levine in a night court charged
with Intoxication by Patrolman Mad
defore. In charging him with be
ing drunk, Ballinger said, the police
man had fallen from the truth in
climbing toward it.
“You, weren’t drunk, Arthur?”
queried the court.
"I was as sober then as I am
now," Arthur replied.
The magistrate had a chalk line
drawn from the bench to the rear of
the courtroom and Arthur was re
quested to tread the narrow trail.
Billy Sunday could not have done it
better than Arthur until he reached
the middle of the room, where, In
some inexplicable fashion, the chalk
line that had once been straight,
suddenly veered in a wriggley tan
gent hard to port.
Arthur realized that salvation lay
in his walking the chalk line, so he
followed where it led. Then of a
sudden something struck him in the
face. It was the chalk line that In
an instant’s time had miraculously
straightened Itself again.
"That will do, Arthur,” said the
magistrate, when the policeman had
picked him up. “You’d better spend
the night with us."
Youthful Robbers Forget to

BEDFORD, Ind.—Two young men
giving their names as Buby Ball and

Braman & Sons store at Mitchell,
ten miles south of here, in this
county.
Bloodhounds trailed them to a
town, where they were found asleep,
both armed.
In their possession were found
suitcases containing $125 worth of
shoes, silk shirts, silk hose and silk
underwear, all identified by Mr. Bra
man as merchandise missing from
his store.
Falls From Sky to Love
CHESTER, Pa.—Fred S. Hurst, of

While flying near Steymer, Canada,
late in 1918, Hurst, who was a mem
ber of the Royal Firing corps, felt
his plane giving way beneath him
and before he realized what it was all
about he and the plane were falling
at a rapid rate.
When he recovered consciousness,
Hurst found himself looking into the
eyes of Miss Violet C. Lucas, of
Steymer, who had extricated him
from the wreckage. That’s how he
came to fall in love, and as a result
he has claimed Miss Lucas for his
bride.
Finger Prints on Cheeks

As a record of the fingerprints of

CHOATE DECLINES
TO HEAD CREDIT
MEN ASSOCIATION
ATLANTIC CITY. N. J„ June 3.
A plea for recourse to commercial
arbitration as a means of saving a
large part of the enormous cost of
vast machinery of courts, saving
busines from the harassment of con
gested dockets, preventing intermi
nable continuances and delays, and
avoiding the incompetence of jurors,
featured one of the most important
reports presented today, to the sil
ver anniversary session of the na
tional association of credit men.
“If, as competent authorities as
sert.” the report continued, "effi
ciency requires that a thing be done
in the best, easiest and quickest way,
what, shall be said of the firmly es
tablished ami peculiarly American
habit of rushing into a court of law
with every pretty squabble? For the
past five years the number of new
suits filed in Chicago and Cook coun
ty courts alone has averaged 224,800
a year. Consider what the total for
the entire United States must be.
We know that lawsuits break off
profitable business connections, in
vite hostility, often result in disas
trous retaliations, are irritating,
time-consuming, costly and wasteful.
Why, then, do we persist in this an
tikuated, peevish, short - sighted
habit? Is it not largely a habit of
mind?”
The committee expressed the con
viction that the time is ripe for a
great co-operative effort of business
associations to arouse public opinion
to think in terms of conciliation or
arbitration rather than of lawsuits.
If any improvement over present
conditions in courts is seriously de
sired. It asserted that the way to
arbitrate is to arbitrate.
The committee on foreign credits
through L. R. Browne, New York,
urged members to earnestly support
the federal bureau of foreign and do
mestic comerce, and to work through
congress for an increase in the funds
for its use and maintenance. There
is a crying need, the committee de
clared, for a medium for the dissemi
nation of foreign credit information
in America.
H. E. Choate, of Atlanta, today de
clined the nomination for president
of the national association. He said
it would be impossible for him to do
justice to the honor, and his friends
could sway him. There are now

general disappointment because Mr.
Choate could not accept.
Kidnaped Boy Tells
Police He Wants to
Go Home to ‘Muvver’
BUFFALO, N. Y„ June 3.—A tired,
sleepy, red-eyed five-year-old boy sat
in the police station here today and
wished his “muvver” would hurry
because he wanted to go home.
He was Edwand Laßelle, Jr., five
year-old son of Edward Laßelle, of
Atlantic City, who was kidnapped
from the porch of his home during
a memorial day parade last Monday.
Little Edward was backward about
making friends. Police said he had
been mistreated since he was kid
napped, and the lad was shy about
making friends with any other
strangers. However, when told that
his mother would soon be there, his
face lighted up with a smile that
plainly showed a missing tooth.
In a cell in the station Jean Valen
tine -was held, accused of kidnap
ping the boy. Valentine was ar
rested by the police after a twenty
four-hour search. The first clue to
the whereabouts of Valentine and
the boy was obtained yesterday, when
the parents received a letter saying
that their son would be turned over
to them if they came to Buffalo.
Minister’s Son, 13,
Certain He Is Bad
Frank Lenciani, 13 years old, walk
ed up to Sergeant Daniel Murphy in
West Chicago avenue station.
“Sergeant,” he said, "I’m going to
the bad. I want you to send me to
the parental school. I want to save
myself from the penitentiary later
on by being punished now.
“My father is the Rev. August Len
ciani, and he has a church here. He
tries to save other boys like me, and
he has been a good father, but I can’t
control myself. I’ve been away from
home now for three days and nights.
I’ve been shooting craps and run
ning with a gang of bad boys. I
want to be punished now before I
end up like these boys.”
He showed a clipping from a Sun
day paper telling of two young men
who were to pay the death penalty
for murder. After questioning him
as to his habits and temptations the
police led him home and advised him
to heed his father’s advice and thus
keep out of trouble.
Find State House Ceiling
Made of Glass on Cleaning
COLUMBUS, Ohio. —If at times in
the la»st sixty years the deliberations
of the Ohio legislators seemed to in
dicate the presence of brain cob
webs there was rqason for it and all
may be forgiven riow.
When the statehouse custodian or
dered a thorough cleaning of the
senate chamber workmen found the
ceiling to be made largely of glass,
but so thick was the coating of dust
and- debris that the present genera
tion had supposed it to be of solid
wood. The ceiling had not been
cleaned since 1858. Four truck loads
of dirt were removed from the ceil
ing.
One of the consequences ’of the
cleaning will be to reduce Ohio’s
electric light bill, since light will
now penetrate into the chamber, if
not into the debates during day

FAILURE TO HAVE
PEACE IS LAID AT
DOOR OF WILSON
BY WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT
(Copyright 1920, for The Atlanta
Journal.)
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 5.
Mr. Wilson’s facility for disposing of
an uncomfortable fact and removing
it from the course .of his reasoning
by ignoring it, is well Illustrated in
his veto of the Knox resolution de
claring peace with Germany. He.sets
forth strong and appealing rea’sons
f-r not making peace in such an un
satisfactory and inconclusive way.
His reasoning upon this point seems
to be unanswerable. He brings out
with grpat force the failure to achive
the objects of the war involved in the
adoption of such a resolution. He
says that the treaty at Versailles did
accomplish these objects, but that it
has been rejected by the senate of the
United States, though ratified by Ger
many. Though he condemns the sen
ate for the failure to ratify, he utter
ly ignores the fact known of all men,
that the failure to secure a ratifica
tion of the treaty by the senate was
due to his own refusal to make con
cessions which would not have im
paired the usefulness of the treaty in
achieving the objects he now proper
ly appraises. In other words, the
purpose of his mesage is to throw
upon the Republicans of the senate
the responsibility for the continua
tion - ’ a state of war, when in fact it
lies at his door.
Man Held in Failure of
Bank in Va. Kills Self
NEWPORT
Holloway, president of the Vassar-
Abbott company, who was arrested
here on charges in connection with
the recent failure of the Colonial
State bank here, shot and killed him
self here a few days ago after he
had been released on bail.
Holloway and Frank R. Bartlett,
cashier of the bank, were arresetd on
a warrant sworn out by Common
wealth’s Attorney Berkeley, charging
them with the larceny of $15,000
from the bank. They furnished bond
in the sum of $15,000 each.
The bank was declared insolvent
and failed to open its doors on Feb
ruary 12. A report of the state cor-
X’oration commission declared that
credits of more than $300,000 extend
ed to the V assar-Abbott company
were responsible for the failure of
the banK.
Investigation of Holloway’s af
fairs showed he had $79,000 in life
insurance, all of which was assigned
to the bank.
Holloway was found dead in the
dining room of his home by his wife,
who had heard uie muffled report of
the revolver. A copy of a morning
newspaper, telling of his arrest, lay
spread on the table.

a week’s work to help the farmer,
if such was desirable, but no action
was taken on this feature.

Paid Pallbearers $lO
PILLAR POINT, N. Y.—Just a
year ago Chester Wiggins was seat
ed in Putnam’s grocery store talk
ing with Budd Miller, Dan Wagner,
John Sims and Nathaniel Lord. Wig
gins remarked that as he amj the
men had been good friends all their
lives, he wanted them to act as pall
bearers at his funeral. He did not
want them to offifficiate for nothing,
he said, and would pay each $lO. He
gave each man a dollar to bind the
bargain, and said his executor would
pay them the other $9 after he had
“cashed” his last check.
Grocer Jake Putnam was the wit
ness to the agreement.
Early in the winter Mr. Wiggins
died. The four men selected acted
as pallbearers at his funeral. A few
weeks later B. F. Manley was ap
pointed administrator of his estate
and advertised for claims. The men
presented their claims. Manley re
fused to pay and the four men plac
ed their claims with Attorney V. C.
Wells, who threatened to start ac
tion against Manley for $lO9 for
each of his clients, the extra hundred
being for character damages. Manley
then paid each claimant $9 and also
paid Lawyer Wells’ bill, amounting
to $lO.
physicians decided that it had
slipped down into the digestive tract.
The boy left the hospital with the
silver half dollar tucked away in his
deepest pocket.

REPUBLICANS TO
GIVE HEARING TO
CHAS. S. BARRETT
CHICAGO, June 8. —Women, labor
and farmer, will be given every op
portunity to present their views and
requests to the Republican national
convention, it was announced here
today.
Special efforts will be made, ac
cording to a national committee an
nouncement, to give public hearings
to women, labor and agricultural in
terests by the resolutions committee.
The resolutions committee, it was
stated, will probably begin its hear
ings immediately after adjournment
o fthe first session of the conven
tion.
Special assurances that they will
be given a chance to present the case
has been given Harriet Taylor Up
ton, of Columbus, Ohio, who will
come here with representatives of
the League of Women Voters, and to
C. S. Barrett, Georgia, president of
the Farmers’ National Union.
Lieutenant Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt was put to work today by-
Will H. Hays, national chairman.
Mr. Hays assigned him to the task
of seeing that Mr. Barrett gets a
proper hearing before the resolutions
committee.
The American Federation of Labor
is also planning to send a strong
delegation here to appear before the
resolutions committee. When the
national committee takes up the re
port of the advisory committee on
politics and platform, authorized
several days ago, full public hear
ings will be heard and an opportun
ity be given every interested person
to be heard.
Wilson May Ask
“Votes for Women”
In North Carolina
WASHINGTON, June 3.—Failure
of the New Jersey legislature to rati
fy the woman suffrage amendment
before its adjournment at 3:30 Tues
day, probably means that President
’ Wilson will bring extraordinary
pressure to bear upon the Demo
cratic legislature of North Carolina
to ratify. This was forecast when
the president sent a telegram to
Democrats of the Delaware legisla
ture, saying:
“May I not, as a Democrat, express
my deep interest iit the suffrage
amendment, and my judgment that
it would be of greatest service to
the party if every Democratic in the
Delaware legislature should vote for
it?”
The “interest of the party” is still
more strongly typified in the North
Carolina legislature, •now that Dela
ware’s Republican assembly has fail
ed to The fate of suffrage, so
far as women voting this fall is
concerned, now appears to be di
rectly up to the tarheel legislators,
and the president, along with Gov
ernor Blckett and Senator Simmons,
may be expected to bring all party
pressure to bear.
Suffrage headquarters here issued
a statement expressing some hope
of action in Vermont and Connecti
cut and saying the national Repub
lican leaders still have a chance to
bfting about* ratification. “The gov
ernor of Vermont has not yst an
swered the appeal of his state con
vention for a special session,” says
the suffrage statement.
Plans are under way for a great
suffrage drive against the Republi
can national convention at Chicago,
Miss Alice Paul sent an appeal to
five thousand women in the states
surrounding Chicago asking them to
send delegations to take part in a
demonstration of protest at the Re
publican convention.
“If you cannot take part personal
ly, please send a contribution for the
traveling expenses of some one to
take your place,” wired Miss Paul.
“The Republican legislature of Dela
ware refuses to ratifv the suffrage
amendment. The Republican govern
ors of Connecticut and Vermont,
where the legislatures are counted
upon to ratify, refuse to allow their
legislatures to meet. We are con
fronted by a serious emergency. It
looks as though Republican opposi
tion would preevnt millions of wom
en from voting this November.”
Miss Paul says that if “the best
of women voice the disapproval
they feel, the Republican party can
hardly continue its present course.”
Meanwhile, the president has re
course to appeals to the North Caro
lina legislature when it convenes the
middle of the month. In view of hi®
message to the Delaware Democratic
leaders there is little doubht here
that Mr. Wilson will urge even more
strongly upon the Democratic party
in North Carolina the necessity for
immediate approval of the Susan B.
Anthony amendment.
Such action would give, a Demo
cratic state credit of being the thir
ty-sixth state. The decision of the
supreme court denying the right of
referendum appeal from the ratifica
tion of the Ohio legislature definitely
fixes thirty-five states in the rati
fication column and only one state
is needed.
Shoplifter Gets Away
With Lamp and Table
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—Virginia
Lewis, described by the police as the
world’s “heavyweight shoplifter,”
was arrested in her rooms and turn
ed over to the state on charges pre
ferred by a local furniture company.
Detectives Denver Mitchell and Ed
Smith went to the rooms of Virginia
Lewis and there found, it is alleged,
furniture valued at SI,OOO that had
been stolen, it was charged, from
the loading dock of the company.
Virginia Lewis, who has been in
police court many times, told the
police that the articles were given to
her by an employe. She said she
could pick the man out if she were
taken to the store. The police ac
cepted this challenge, but after she
had scanned the faces of all the
store’s help she was unable to iden
tify the man.
The police theory is that Virginia
Lewis had to haVe the assistance of
a confederate who was familiar with
the methods on the loading docks.
The missing articles included a S3OO
rug, a floor lamp, a table and a Mor
ris chair.
She Left Ellis Island to
Wed Another, He Is Told
NEW YORK, N. Y.—Earl J. Mc-
Daniel, of Texas, said by all who
saw him to be the handsomest sol
dier that has yet called at the im
migration station on Ellis Island to
claim a war bride, was out of
breath when he rushed up to the
information desk. He was accom
panied by another soldier, Charles
R. Hughes, who, he said, was to be
his best man.
"Her name is Jeanne Andre, and
she is supposed to have come on
the steamship Savoie. She’s from
Paris and she is my sweetheart. I
have come here to marry her.”
He was in a greater hurry than
ever, but his haste was to get away
when he learned that a young wtfman
of the name Jeanne Andre had, in
fact, come to New York on the
Savoie on January 27, but had been
released in the custody of the Y.
M. C. A. agent to marry another
man.

Ittner on charges of disturbing the
reace and destroying property.
He was arrested after he threw
twe bricks through two plate glass
windows at the restaurnat of James
Solari. The windows were valued at
S6OO.
Cavender said he went to work as
a dishwasher at the restaurant and
demanded his day’s pay when he left
off work at night, but was told he
would not be paid until he finished
week’s work.

This clever woman has perfected n method aim
pie and yet “marvelous’’ in the opinion of hundreds
of sister women, and the result has brought a won
derful change in her facial charm. "In a singit
night," says Helen Clare, “I have sensed the work
ing of my method, and for removing wrinkles and
developing the form, reports from nearly every state
in the Union are even more pronounced than my
own—and rapid."
In an interview Helen Clare said: "I made my
self the woman that lam today. 1 brought about
the wonderful change in my own appearance, and
there are hundreds of my friends who know how I
did it (in a secret, pleasant, quiet, yet harmless man
ner). My complexion today is as clear and fair as
that of a child. My figure, formerly almost scrawny,
I have developed into a beautiful bust and well de
veloped form. Thin, scrawny eyelashes and eyebrows,
so poor they could scarcely be seen, have become
long, thick and luxuriant: and by my own method.”
Referring to pimples, blackheads and superfluous
hair, Helen Clare continued: "I banished mine in my
own way and by my own method, using nothing but
my own simple home treatment, which any other
woman can now have the personal benefit of and do
as well as I have done "if”—"if"—"if”—they will
only make the effort and have even a little, teeny
bit of faith in themselves as well as in me.”
.Jlundretls of women are bo delighted with the re
sults from Helen Clare’s methods that they write
her personally the most enthusiastic letters. Hera
are extracts from just two:
“Thank you for what your Beauty Treatment has
done for me. It has cleared my face of blackheads
and pimples. My complexion is as smooth as a child’s
now. It will do all you claim.”
"And your treatment for removing wrinkles is
wonderful-removed every wrinkle from my face."
