It’s Easy to Peel Off
All Your Freckles
The contrast between the freckles and
the clear skin usually is so great that no
bleach can he more than partially suc

better; It literally peels off the freck
les Get an ounce of it at the nearest
irug store and tonight spread on enough
to completely cover your face; remove
in the morning with warm water. Re
peat dally until every freckle has dis
appeared.
Rough, blotchy, pimpled skin, also
common at this season, may be entirely
gotten rid of by this sume method, with
out discomfort or inconvenience. The
effort Is decidedly worth while, the
new complexion obtained being so clear,
smooth and youthful.
If bothered w'ith wrinkles, bathe the
face in a lotion made by dissolving an
ounce of powdered saxolite in a half
pint of witch hazel. This is the most ef
fective and quickest-acting wrinkle
:reatment known.

Harmony Apparent
"Let us see,” said Dr. Triana, "that

' team had never been surpassed.

The First Principle
of Good Health
One great medical authority declares
that sluggish bowels are the cause of
more than half the Ills that afflict man
kind. A constipated condition quickly
affects the liver and other organs, so
that Indigestion and eonstltpation are
soon followed“by biliousness, headaches,
chronic bad breath and a generally dis
arranged condition of the system.
Foley Cathartic Tablets are an ideal
physic, for their action is wholesome
and thoroughly cleansing, without grip
ing. nausea or inconvenience-. They in
vigorate and strengthen the bowel ac
tion and have a good effect on the
stomach and liver.
L. L. Levey, Oreen Bay, Wls„ writes:
•'For a long time I suffered from con
stipation and liver trouble. Nothing
seemed to help_ me. 1 finally secured
Foley Cathartic Tablets and am pleased
to state they have cured me. They are
the finest cathartic to take I have'ever
used ami their effect Is quick and
sure." Sold everywhere.
NEWS OF ENSLEY
The committee appointed by the Ensley
club on the proposed road from Birming
ham to the Warrior river will meet with
the board of revenue this morning, and
ask that the route he run through Pratt
City, Ensley, Wylam, Mulga and Short
Creek to Maxine. This is claimed to b*>
the most direct route to the Big Warrior
river,' and it is stated that the road is
practically built. The committee claims
that the cost of building this road to the
river would be far less than any other
route they could select. Another feature
In having the road to Maxine is that al
present it is the only place suggested
which is connected by railroad with Bir
mingham. and the qommittee contend that
the merchants will have an opportunity
to ship their goods either by truck or by
rail. Dr. E. W. A veryt is chairman of

it is announced that General Mackenzen
is again moving forward and taking a co
loaal number of prisoners.
The British war office admits that Ue
British have been unable entirely to ro
form their line dented by the Germans
cast of Vpres and this dove-tails with Ger
man claims of advances in this region of
Flanders.
The most interesting statement in the
British announcement is that "w-lth due
precautions" gas attacks can he "met and
defeated." This is particularly pertinent,
in that gas bids fair to be used mere and
more, possibly by all the contenders.

sinking condition.
"Our destroyers rescued 35 men of
the crew of the Italian boat, including
its commander, but the work of res
cue was hindered by the approach of
two Italian battleships, w’hich fired
from a range of about 13,000 yards. In
the ensuing skirmish our destroyer
Csepel was slightly damaged but the
Helgoland and the other destroyers
returned the enemy’s fire with apparent
success and then retired out of range ”

ATTACKING FLEET
WINS VICTORY IN
MIMIC WAR GAME
<Continued from Page One)
Virtually every vessel on the active list
was engaged. Admiral Fletcher having
under his command for defense of the
seaboard the main body of the fleet,
while Rear Admiral Beatty, with cruisers
and auxiliaries operating under #he ficti
tious valuations of •battle cruisers” and
“battleship” fleets, undertook the attack.
Plans Worked Out
The two forces separated after leaving
New York and the war was underway
when the “Reds” as Admiral feeattys
craft were designated, had been given
time to attain a point 500 miles from the
coast. Plans for the game had been
worked out carefully by the naval war
college and general staff, each comman
der being kept ignorant of the cam
paign mapped out for his opponent. To
make conditions as near as possible what
they would he in actual warfare, this
programme of secrecy was carried to the
point of having new wireless codes for
each side and only absolutely necessary
reports were made to the department.
Three submarines and one battleship
met with accidents and had to put Into
port for repairs.
The fleet now will assemble at New
ports, R. I., to remain a few days, when
the ships will separate to undergo gen
eral overhaulfngs at thplr home yards.
General British warships which were
withdrawn from stations near the coast
so as not to Interfere with the war game
are expected to resume their posts Im
mediately. It Is understood they have
been cruising a safe distance at sea in
the meantime, guarding the allies* com
