Applying This Paste Actually Removes Hairs (Beauty Notes) Merely applving an inexpensfye paste to a hairy surface, say beauty specialists, will dissolve the hairs. This paste is made by mixing a little water with some powdered delatone; after about 2 minutes it is rubbed off and the skin washed. This simple method not only removes every trace of hair, but leaves the skin free from blemish. To insure success with this treatment, be careful to get real dela- tone. ate Wilbur S, Fiynn of Forti JOHN H. CARNEY, G. K, ‘White Cross Delegate. J. A. DESMOND, P. G. ‘White Cross Delegate.

He sought for form, losing the simplicity of the earlier painters, for the Flemish were ma- terialistic in their points of view. Ru- bens lived in an exciting, interesting time, and was both a diplomat and artist. No period of art can sicceed unless there are patrons to aporeciate it: the Renaissance in Italy ~would never have flourishied without the De Medici family, Who were its mowerful pat- rons, nor the goideén age in Greece had ‘there not been weaithy and inte ested people to buy. In America, we have, at present, no golden age; that is-not for Jack of artists, but because there are not the people who have a fine and keen artistic sense of appre- ciation. | Rubens would never have heen the jartist he became, without his noble patrons. He himself was of noble birth, born in a small town near Co- logne, and educated in a Jesuit col- lego in Antwerp. Farly apprenticed, as was the custom of those days, to a famous painter, he next went to Italy, then the center of art and lit- erature.

In Italy, he studied the work of Michael Angelo and the Venetian Tintoretto, so that his own painting became finally a continuation of Ve- nedian art.

One of Rubens' pupils was Jacob Jordaeus, who painted remarkably like his master, with all his fire and color and somewhat less of his vulgarity. Whiel an ardent imitator of Rubens, he was never quite as celebrated. Van Dyck was another of Rubens’ famous pupils, by some called his right hand man. Going to Italy, he was in- fluenced by the same artists whom Rubens reverenced but more so by the portrait painters. He belongs to the 17th century and, journeying to Eng- land, secured an audience with King Charles, who made him count painter. His pictures all have dignity and near- nd, an, G. E.

Camp Devens and saw the fusing process in action, the over- whelming, crushing thought that emed to baflle and benumb me was why this annihilation of the indi- vidual? Personal ambitions, past ex- poriences, individual talents—all, all were swallowed up in the military routine of the present. At the call of duty—every man had aside his tools, his pen. his books, s bright hopes, future success, the affection of dear ones, the very cen- tre of his heart's love—home—were all foresworn as each boy contributed his hest and his all to the crucible of sac- rifice. As he stood in that silent strong khaki line, each man, no mat- ter what his qualities, his studies, his influence, his race, bis creed—was “one,” “two” “three,” or “four’—when the order “Count off” was given. - This was the mystery of Bartlett and Devens to me, and what is the mystery of Bartlett and Devens is the mystery of Upton, Dix and every camp clear to- ve & ded 1a ap- en- ked tallc were procured from the Metro- | build the greatness of our country; its politan museum, and Miss Gilbert of |value is above gold and precious the Academy faculty had charge of the | stones, above commence and industry, lanter SOUR STOMACH INDIGESTION HEARTBURN Instantly Relieved by BISURATE!

Shall the mystery of Bartlett, Dev- iens, Upton, Dix and Lewis be solved when béfore the bow of the transport the mist-clouds of ocean shall lift and, revealed in clear vision, is seen the outline of the shores of France? The man that stands beneath that emblem of our liberties, the man that takes that vacred standard in his hands can never—according to our American mind—be too worthy of it, what be his education, his environment, his character! When his country’s honor is at stake, when her safety is to be guarded, her preservation maintained, no sacrifice is too heroic, no obedience t0o irksome, no labor too difficult, no annihilation too profound—“Sacrifice” is the 11 from the soul of America; “Service” is the reply from the heart of the people. Voice of Prosident is Voice of God. Clearer than the light of the noon- day sun comes the truth for the mind of the nation in khaki; stronger than all the forces of earth: stronger even than death comes the courage for the soul of the nation in khaki—that the behind ail temporal sove- is from God. The voice of the legitimate ruler of these United" States is the voice of God. When he com- mands, God commands—and man in giance to my native land. Take away their God from the hearts and minds of the children of America, and you are the foulest traitor that ever swung upon a gallows—you have murdered their love of country, you have under- mined the very foundations of the re- public, God forbid that the day may ever dawn when this great American people would be by traitorous leaders despoiled of its priceless heritage—the possession of its God. For I tell you with all_the earnestness of my soul, backed by the history of nations, backed by the inspired word of Holy Writ, that a nation withont God, with- out a living, breathing faith and con- fidence in an overruling Providence, a just arbiter of right and wrong, Is tottering to its inevitableg ruin. Let it be fair to look upon, let its ehips cover the seas, let its cannon bristle from every vantage ground, let its su- per-dreadnaughts outnumber ihe states of the urion—it is living a pre- tense of life, it is in reality a nation that is dead—for its heart is gone silent.

Tor no man can be true to God and false to his native land. Upon this virtue we up- above forts and warships. The vital park of the nation's honor is patriot- ism, and the living fount of the na- tion’s prosperity is patriotism, the strong shield of the nation's safety is true patriotism.
