report that a Spanish sympathizer

ing Spanish fuently, refused to ex-
plain his presence in the csrral or to

SKETCH OF THE GRAND OLD MAN.
William Ewart Gladstone, for many
years the leading British statesman
was born in Liverpool Liverpool, De-
cember 30, 1909. He was the fourth
son of Sir John Gladstone, wealthy
merchant, who relinquished a small
business in GLASGOW in 1856 and re.
moved to Liverpool, where he acquir'
ed large fortune in the West India
trade, and was created baronet in
1916. The son was sent to Elton and
and while there gave full promise o.

his course at Oxford, where he gradu'
ted at Christ Church in 1881, as dou'

which he continued to represent until
1876. In December, 1884, he was
appointed by Sir Robert Peel junior
lord of the treasury, and in 1885, un-
der secretary for colonial affairs.
which Office he filled for only two
months, when his ministry was over
thrown. He continued useful and
active, as well as brilliant member OF
the opposition party, led by Robert
Peel, until that statesman's return to
AOwer, in 184l, when he was sworn a
member of the priyY council and APP

trade and master of the mint. In this
position he explained and defended
in parliament the commercial policy
of the government and the revision of
.,the British tariff in 1912, was almost
entirely his work.
In May, 1S43, he succeeded Lord
Ripon as president Of the board of
trade, but in February, lS45, he re-
signed his Office on the introduction
of the measure for the increase of the
Maynooth grant, which was directly

had expressed in his work on church

Thousands have tried from time imme-
mortal to discover some efficacious remedy
for wrinkles and other imperfections of
the complexion, but none had yet sue
ceeded until the Misses Bell, the nowsfam-
Gus Complexion Specialists, of Is Fifth
Avenue, New York City, offered the pub
lie their wonderful Complexion Tonic.
The reason SO many failed to make this
discovery before is plain, because they have
not followed the right principle. Balms,
Creams, Lotions, etc., never have tonic
effect upon the skin, hence the failures.
The Misses Bells Complexion Tonic has
most exhilarating effect upon the cuticle,
absorbing and carrying off all impurities
which the blood by its natural action is
constantly forcing to the surface of the
skin. 1t is to the skin what vitalizing
tonic is to the blood and nerves, a kind of
new life that Immediately exhilarates and
strengthens wherever applied. Its tonic
effect is felt almost Immediately, and it
speedily banishes forever from the skin,
freckles, pimples, blackheads, moth
patches, wrinkles, liver spots, roughness,
oilincss, eruptions, and discolorations of
any kind.
In order that all may be benefited by
their Great Discovery, the Misses Bell will,
during the present month, give to all cali
