This page contains two distinct items: **Main Advertisement:** A Resinol Soap ad featuring a classical profile portrait of a woman's face, emphasizing beauty of complexion. The ad targets insecurities about "blemishes," "oiliness," and "enlarged pores," promising the soap will improve appearance. This represents typical early 20th-century beauty marketing that equated personal worth with physical appearance. **"Why Shield Them?" Editorial:** A brief political commentary questioning why military superiors who authorized brutal prison camp conditions in France during WWI remain unpunished while lower-ranking officers like "Hardboiled" Smith face consequences. The author argues those giving orders bear greater responsibility than those executing them, calling for accountability up the chain of command. **"Rhymed Reviews":** A humorous verse review of *The Young Visiters* by Daisy Ashford, a novel written by a nine-year-old girl that became famous for its charming naïveté and accidental humor. The reviewer celebrates the book's innocent appeal regardless of the author's age.

Not all can have beautiful features, nor can all have beautiful voices, but a beautiful complexion depends largely upon the care that is given to it. Don’t neglect those ugly little blemishes, that excessive oiliness, those enlarged pores. Resinol Soap contains just the necessary requisites to aid in overcoming these defects. It is pure, mild and cleansing.

Why Shield Them? igs men we hear of as having heen in charge of prison-camps in France were brutal. We have heard nothing about the men higher up who put such men in charge of such camps. Tt seems evident that the camp of- ficers like “ Hardboiled” Smith were picked out for their brutality, and probably in their conduct merely met the expectations of their immediate superiors. The superiors, then, were more to blame than the agents, Why shield them? 2 do you get this fish from, “Comes in every day, sir, by fast express.” “Sure it isn't parcel-post Rhymed Reviews The Young Visiters (By Daisy Ashford.
