Supreme President Knights of Liberty
of America
* * *
The Knights of Liberty of America,
a benevolent organization recently au-

conducting a 40-day membership drive
in Houston, under direction of A. W.
Howze of Giddings, supreme presi-
dent, whose local address is 2610

This organization is offering in-
suranee protection to men, women and
children and, according to Mr.
Howze’s statement to an Informer
representative, it is “the safest and
cheapest protection that can be car-
ried, this order making it possible for
all mankind to be protected."
Mr. Howze states that during the
local drive a special dispensation has
been granted and persons can join the
Knights of Liberty for $1.50, age
limit being from 16 to 60 years. He
states further that his order has sev-
eral openings for deputies.
Speaking about the financial
strength of the organization, the su-
preme president asserts that the or-
der “was organized with ample capi-
tal to meet all financial exactions,
obligations and requirements, and we
have plenty money on hand already
to meet all just claims arising due to
membership in the Knights of Liber-
ty of America."
Houstonians who would like to
know more about this Texas organi-
zation, which is said to be sweeping
the state with flattering success, can
get in touch with Mr. Howze at 2610
Drew or call him over Fairfax 4920.

Youth of America I
You Need No Longer Suffer .
the Embarassment of
Telltale PIMPLES
Co many pretty girls and handsome
D boy* have to be ashamed of their
blemished complexions. And why?
Simply because they don't know or
haven’t tried Palmer’s "Skin Success”
Ointment. For over 80 years Palmers
“Skin Success” Ointment has given real
honest-to-goodness lasting relief from
skin distress when others failed to make
even a temporary impression.
Bet you’d like to have a clear bright skin
just like the other fellows and girls have.
You can too. For Palmer’s “Skin Suc-
cess” Ointment can do for you what it
has done for thousands. Remove those
pimples—promote a real light wonder-
ful skin. ,
For piles, eczema, rashes, pimply skin,
sore feet, chafing or sunburn. So many
have tried to imitate Palmer’s “Skin
Success” Ointment but none have ever
been able to discover the secret formula.
Look for Palmer’s “Skin Success” Oint-
ment in the orange box—see that you
get it. Every good druggist sells or can,
easily obtain it for you.
