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.

Threatened Mandamus Pro

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

Ex-Congressman A. R. Rupley, the

this morning however that he in

The minister issued a general state

explained his reasons for the contem

The Yates statement:
"The publicity given to my candi

Washington party tickets makes a
frank statement of facts due you and

Republican and Democratic parties

twenty men from the Washington party

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

Democratic petitions were returned to
me by the Deputy Secretary of the

stating they were returned because

Zeppelin and French
Aeroplane Fight Duel
Two Miles Above Earth
Paris, April 26. 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

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

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

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

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.
