for Italy's Troubles.

LONDON. May 13-The newspapers are
publishing cartoons and articles holding
Joseph Letter, the Chicago grain manipu-
lator, responsible for the situation in Italy.

English corn is now higher than for

threatenings and mutterings of trouble. in
Spain. there are bread riots and in Italy
there are barricades, burning houses, fight
ing, revolution, in fact, on the part of the
people who are unable to get bread and
who think it better to die by the bullet
than to starve. The very throne seems to
totter because bread is so dear. Other
people pay for Letters experience now"

Thousands have tried from time imme-
mortal to discover some efficacious remedy
for wrinkles and other impcrfections Of
the complexion, but none had yet sue
ceeded until the Misses Bell, the now fam
Gus Complexion Specialists, of 70 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
a 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. It is to the skin what o vitalizing
tonic Is to the blood and nerves, 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,
frccklcs, pimples, blackheads, moth
patches, wrinkles, liver spots, roughness,
oiliness, eruptions, and discolorations of
any kind.
In order that all may be benefited by
their Great Discovery, the Misses Bell will,
