SIMPLE WAY TO GET RID OF BLACKHEADS There Is one simple, safe and sure j way that never fails to get rid of black- j heads and that is to dissolve them. To do this get about two ounces of plain powdered neroxin from any drug i store—sprinkle a little on a hot, wet I sponge—rub over the blackheads brisk- ! ly—wash the parts and you will be sur- j prised how the black heads have dis appeared. Big blackheads, little black heads, no matter where they are. simply dissolve and disappear, leaving the parts without any mark whatever, j Blackheads are simply a mixture of [ dust and dirt and secretions from the I body that form in the pores of the skin. Pinching and squeezing only cause irritation, make large pores and do not get them out after they become hard. The powdered neroxin and the j water simply dissolve the blackheads so ! thny wash right out, leaving the pores free and clean and in their natural con dition. Anyone troubled with these un- I sightly blemishes should certainly try tills simple method.—Advertisement.

"Why there must be a case of measles here," insisted 'Davy,' and he produced a physician's release card which announced that the measles STILL AWAITING YATES' ACTION I p Until Late Hour Today Threatened Mandamus Pro ceedings Hadn't Been Started Up until a late hour this afternoon the threatened mandamus proceedings to compel the Secretary of the Com monwealth to certify the name of the Rev. Dr. William N. Yates, city school director, as a candidate for the State Senate on the Republican and Demo cratic primary tickets, had not been filed in the Dauphin county courts. Ex-Congressman A. R. Rupley, the Rev. Dr. Yates' attorney, declared this morning however that he in tended to act late to-day or early to morrow. The minister issued a general state ment to the newspapers in which he explained his reasons for the contem plated proceeding. The Yates statement: "The publicity given to my candi dacy for the nomination for senator on the Republican, Democratic and Washington party tickets makes a frank statement of facts due you and myself. In no way whatever have I sought the place. I was waited on time and again by committees from the Washington party urging me to consent to the use of m.v name. After weeks of thorough consideration, .lur ing which time many members of the Republican and Democratic parties urged me to consent to the submission of my name at their primaries, when waited on by a committee of more than twenty men from the Washington party I gave my consent. It was clearly understood by those gentlemen that I was to have nothing whatever to do with the circulation of the petitions. That was to be looked after entirely by them. The petitions were not ready until 11 p. m. on the last day for filing. The names on each separate sheet were duly sworn to before a notary. 1 carried the petitions to the office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth and the gentleman who received them in my presence examined each affidavit, counted every name, fastened the sepa rate sheets together and. looking up, said "They are all right." I was actually green enough to think the man meant what he said! The fol lowing Friday the Republican and Democratic petitions were returned to me by the Deputy Secretary of the Commonwealth, together with a letter stating they were returned because defective. Upon careful examination I found that the filing blank on both petitions had been duly filled out and signed and then the writing had been erased by some sharp instrument.

A French aero plane and a Zeppelin fought a duel at an altitude of 4,000 meters off Zee bruge to-day. The aeroplane fired nine incendiary shells at the Zeppelin which appears to have been damaged. The engagement occurring more than two miles above the earth, was fought at 3 o'clock this morning. At the same time another French aeroplane, armed with cannon fired numerous projectiles on a German torpedo boat off Ostend. A German aeroplane of the Fokker type was brought down in an aerial combat near Luneville, France. Proposals Foreshadowing Compulsion Unless More Answer Call, Presented By Associated Press London. April 26. Premier As qultli at the secret session of Parlia ment yesterday presented on behalf of the government proposals foresha dowing general military compulsion unless success attended "Immediate efforts to obtain men required by vol untarily enlistment from amongst un attested married men." The govern ment's proposals were publicly an nounced to-day in a long statement to the press. The government, Mr. Asquith said, will "forthwith ask Parliament for compulsory power" unless at the end of four weeks ending May 27, 50,000 men have been secured by voluntary enlistment. The same course is pro posed if in any one week after May 22, 15,000 men have not been scured by direct enlistment. These arrange ments are to hold good until 200,000 unattested men have been obtained. Owing to the length of time required to sift individual cases under the present system, the press statement said, recruiting to date "has fallen short of requirements which were necssary to fulfill our proper military effort." Twenty-five Casualties in Bombardment and Fight Afterwards With Squadron 0 By Associated Press London, April 26. —Twenty-five cas ualties In dead and wounded resulted from the bombardment of Lowestoft, by German warships and the conse quent running .fight with the British light cruiser squadron and destroyers, so far as can be learned. All the Brlt ish ships have returned safely, two of the light cruisers bearing signs that they had been hit by shells but not in vital places. A few among the crews of the British warships were wound ed, but not seriously. One of the British destroyers, which played a part in a previous battle in the Xorth Sea, was again in the thick of the fight. A shot penetrated her engine room and four of her crew were scalded. After firing into the town of Lowestoft for twenty minutes, the Germans retreated. The casualties aboard the British ships occurred In HARRE3BURG TELEGRAPH!

Made Excellent Record His service In the Senate had won him many friends and when he came here as commissioner he was warmly welcomed. His reorganization of the department and activity In getting the roads repaired and kept in good order won him praise from every part of Pennsylvania and caused many expres sions of satisfaction with the State road work to go to Governor Brum baugh. Personally, he was an untiring worker, and his business system was much admired at the Capitol. Some time ago he established promotion by merit and the department spirit was much commented upon. Only a Tew dayß before he was taken ill the commissioner in speaking at the spring conference of engineers and superintendents in the Capitol declared that the business of the department was to build and repair roads and not to play politics, a statement which attracted state-wide attention because It emphasized the position of the com missioner and what he considered his people should be. In his younger days Mr. Cunning ham was in the forefront of Pitts burgh newspapermen and was an au thority on Western Pennsylvania mat tors. He had a great fondness for music, and while never giving up gen eral newspaper activity, he became noted as a musical critic. The death of Mrs. Cunningham last Pall was a great shock to him. but lie devoted himself to his department more than ever, and his illness in this city, which followed his last speech, made at the Millersburg Automobile Club meeting, was due primarily to overwork. ra WESTPORT 2 '/i IN.
