PIMPLES ALL OVER
FACE AND NECK
Got Worse. Would Smart. - Bothered
Several Months. In a Week Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment Healed,
"I noticed that I had a number of
pimples on my neck and face. I did not
pay much attention to them, and finally
they got worse, and I tried but it
did not help. The pimples were rather
large and soft, and they festered and
came to a head. They were scattered
all over my face and neck, and at night
and through the day they would smart.
I could hardly go out for fear of people
noticing the condition of my neck.
"I had been bothered several months
before I used Cuticura Soap and Oint
ment. I used them for two nights when
the pimples began to dry up, and dis
appeared, and after I had used both for
a week I was healed, and I have one of
the prettiest complexions." (Signed)
Miss Mabel Kalde, 123 N. Eastlake
Ave., Los Angeles, Ca;, Oct. 14, 1916.
Cuticura Soap, to cleanse, purify and
beautify, Cuticura Ointment to soften,
soothe and heal, have been most suc
cessful in the severest forms of skin and

BUSINESS CAREER SUCCESS
Mark Twain of Methodism" Given
by Co-Workers In Recognition
of Keen Wit Marking His
Talks Before Public.
T. S. McDanlel, chairman of the board
of trustees of Willamette University
and widely known. in Methodist cir
cles of the Northwest and in business
circles In Portland, died last night at
the Portland Medical Hospital.
Death came at 9:05 o'clock and was
not unexpected, as his life bad been
dlspalred of for the last 48 hours.
Present ct the death bed were Mrs.
MoDaniel and her brother, C. M. Edmonds.
Mr. McDanlel was prominent In the
prohibition movement of Oregon and
had lived in the state about 32 years.
Three children. Margaret, 13; Wil
son, 10, and Warren. 7. survive besides
the widow. ,
Mr. McDanlel became a member of
the board of trustees of Willamette
University several years ago, and re
cently was chosen chairman of that
body. He was secretary of the board
of trustees of Kimball College at Eu
gene, and was president of the Church
Extension Society of the Methodist de
nomination in Oregon. He was affec
tionately termed by his co-workers
the Mark Twain of Methodism." His
wit and good-natured humor made him
famous as a speaker at large gather-
ngs. He had great success in raising
money for church extension, and at
dedication services his presence was
always the inspiration for enthusiastic
giving to. the building funds.
About five weeks ago Mr. McDanlel
made a trip to Seattle, where he par
ticipated in an Important church meet
ing and dedication. When someone
had to welcome Bishop Hughes and.
later. Dr. Joshua Stansfield, T. S. Mc
Danlel was the unanimous choice, so
sincere was his manner of greeting, so
apt his address on all occasions.
Mr. McDanlel was born on a farm
in Ohio 62 years ago. He moved early
in his youth to Portland. Ind., and from
that place came to Portland. Or., 32
years ago. His mother died when he
was 12 years old. His father, a. retired
Methodist minister, is still living, at
the age of S3, in Indiana. " Mr. Mc
Danlel was converted at the Moody
meetings in the old tabernacle. Twelfth
and Taylor streets, Portland, 28 years
ago.
When he first came to Portland he
taught school in West Portland and
later in Mqunt Tabor. At the latter
place he met Lulu June Edmonds, who
was a little school girL He was her
teacher, and prepared her for high
school and later, for business college.
For more than 10 years Mr. McDanlels
paid attentions to her, and they were
married inlsOl. Bishop Earl Cranston
presided at the ceremony, and was as
sisted by Dr. A. N. Fisher, editor of
the Pacifio Christian Advocate. Mr.
McDanlel was at the time manager of
the -Advocate, a position which he held
for eight years.
After keeping books for a loan of
fice, Mr. McDanlel started a, loan and
mortgage business in his own name,
and made a success In the business
world, and was as popular among his
associates a he was in the church.
Dr. W. W. Youngson, superintendent
of the Portland district, who had
known Mr. McDanlel for 24 years, said
of him last night: "I shall miss Mr.
McDanlel more than I can telL He
was a great and good man, and his in
fluence was splendid. I regarded him
as a tower of strength spiritually and
mentally. It was sad that he had not
the physical strength, too."
The time for the funeral has not yet
been set. The body will be taken to
the Finley undertaking parlors.

Where Will
917 Take Yon ?
Put it squarely up to yourself: "Where will 1917 take you?"
You are ambitious. You want to become a power to be reckoned with at the
office, the store or the factory. You have your eye on a place higher up. Some
day that position will be filled by a new man; you can't tell when. Often in
the most stable organizations sweeping changes come out of what seems like
a blue sky. Or, perhaps, a new position will be created a new department.
Are you preparing for. these bigger things? Are you mentally marking time or
forging ahead? Are you hungry to know all about the articles you're making,
the goods you're selling, the ramifications of the business you've entered upon?
Put it squarely up to yourself.
Suppose, for instance, you work in a furniture
factory. Are you learning all about the different ,
kinds of wood, varnish, stains, nails, glue? Are
you studying the history of furniture its
famous styles so you can become an expert on
that phase of interior decorating?
Or, if you sell silk goods, are you getting on
the side all the available information on silk
worms, silk culture, the desired qualities in yarn,
spinning, the mechanism of weaving, the proc
esses of printing and dyeing? Are you exhaust
ing the subject or are you content with knowing
only what you have to know to sell what you're
expected to sell?
You can make yourself solid with the chief six
days a week if you can show him that you know,
when the other fellows only "guess" or "suppose."
Your destiny rests with YOU
If you are going to be ready when your chance
comes, you must prepare now. You must master
everything about your business if you would
grow into big things.
The one supreme work to help you this year
to give you knowledge and confidence is the
Encyclopaedia Britannica. This great library of
information covers the whole range of human
interests manufacturing methods, engineering,
architecture, chemistry, medicine, art. music,
law. pedagogy everything, in fact. And you
can't get more reliable information anywhere.
The 1500 contributors to the Britannica are au
thorities in their respective lines. Never before
have so many eminent men and women written
for one work.
Own the Britannica and show the chief you can grow
Let him know you own this
splendid aid to advancement. Let
him see that you're preparing your
self for greater responsibility and
greater authority.

You remember the ninth edition

1000 pages, it is only one inch thick'
and weighs but 21 ounces.

acle. This paper is amazingly vthin.
but opaque, thin as tissue but ex
ceptionally strong. It was a daring
innovation to use this marvelous
paper for the Britannica. but it suc
ceeded in putting this most famous
work of reference into the hands
rather than onto the shelves of
thousands of readers.

almost exhausted. No more sets can be
