A convention some time In September in Altoona, Fa., made only a bare Inch of newspaper copy. And who, and what, is the Union Veteran Legion anyway, that they should be given even an inch of space in the newspapers? I dont recollect ever having heard of them, you say. Which is rather surprising, for at one time In the nations history the Union Veteran Legion was making column after column of breathless copy. Shermans inarch to the sea made good copy In stuff that was those days first-pag- e avidly read by a grateful populace. But that was more than a half century ago and news values change and the makers of much of that copy, the Union Veteran Legion, are dropped from the first page entirely and get only a skimpy Inch on an inside sheet However, there are those In these United States who read the newspapers rather carefully, among them the American Legion, and the bare Inch of copy concerning the proposed national convention of the Union Veteran Legion was sufficient to catch the eye of American Legionnaires of Altoona and interest them to such an extent .that a committee was Immediately appointed to aid the Union Veteran Legion In preparing for their In appointing national convention. the committee to help the Union Veteran legion with their convention, the American Legion was motivated by the following facts: To be a member of the Union Veteran Legion one must have been a volunteer and have served not less than three years In the Civil war. Most of the surviving members of the organization are very old, nnd the toil, harassments and uncertainty of preparing for a national convention would be a severe strain upon the strength of the veterans of 04. So the American Legion decided to lift the load from the shottders of their venerable comrades to enable them to be free to enjoy themselves without the worries and trials incident to the administration of a convention.

He said: At times when it has seemed that the people had forgotten their obligations to their state and nutlon, the Legion has always called their attention to them. It was the Legion that came to the rescue last Patriots day In Boston. It rallied a parade through the streets of the state capital and averted the effects of the propaganda which was being circulated at that time.

C., Aug. 25: am so grateful to you for your splendid products and for what they have accomplished for me that I feel I must give you the details. In attempting to improve the appear- ance of my chin, I w used a soap which had been recommended for that purpose 6.-but which proved to be too harsh for when I washed off the lather, the skin came with it. I applied cold cream, but the damage was too severe to yield to so mild an agent. My husband consulted our neighborhood druggist and asked if it would not be advisable to call in our family doctor. The druggist said: You do not need a doctor in this case. Get a jar of Resinol Ointment and a cake of Resinol Soap and have your wife use them according to directions they will beat everything else a hundred ways. So my husband bought the Resinol products and hopefully brought hem home, My skin was so tender and sore that I could not touch water to it, so I cleansed it gently first with pure olive oil and then applied the Resinol. I used a soft handkerchief c that night for protection. In the morning, I bathed it gently with warm water and Resinol Soap, rinsing off with tepid water, and I could hardly believe that such a miracle of healing could occur during one night. The raw surface had filmed over and now looked only like a bad case of sunburn. I kept my face anointed with Resi-nall that day and by night the improvement was so great that I was able to go out. This experience fs now only a memory for my face is softer, fairer and smoother than ever. A jar of Resinol is my best pal in the future and I will never be without it. (Signed) Mrs. C. P.
