BAD BLOOD,
BAD COMPLEXION.

The skin is the seat of an almost end
less variety of diseases. They are known
by various names, but are all due to the
same cause, acid and other poisons in
the blood that irritate and interfere with
the proper action of the skin.
To have a smooth, soft skin, free from
all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure
and healthy. The many preparations of
arsenic and potash and the large number
of face powders and lotions generally
used in this class of diseases cover up
for a short time, but cannot remove per-
manently the ugly blotches and the red,
dishguring pimples.

GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.
National Convention Propose a Highway
Commissioner In Each State.I

The National Good Roads convention
at Chicago has adopted recommenda-
tions that highway commissioner be
appointed by each State, to have charge
of all roads and that State road plan
be adopted in all States, including the
employment of convict labor in prepara-
ton OF material for roads. 1t was also
recommended that wide tires should be
specified for vehicles used for traffic on
public roads.
A permanent organization OF the Ma
tional Good Roads association was IF
fected, headquarters to be in Chicago.
"Oiled Roads" was the subject OF a
paper read by Mrs. Mary Lynde Craig,
OF Redlands, Cal. She told OF the ex-
periments carried on at Redlands and
Pasadena in the use OF oil for the pre-
venton of both dust and mud. "Suc-
cess has resulted from our experiments, "
she said "We have some OF the best
roads in the country. We use the
crude petroleum, between $50 and 200
barrels a mile, for the first application.
The road requires two applications the
first year and one application a year
thereafter. The oil is applied during
the hot weather, at temperature of
over 200 degrees. The cost is less than
$I5o per mile"

NEW ERA FOR FlllPlN0S.
An Attempt Made to Install Self. Government
In One Province.

The Philippine commission has enact
ed the first legislation establishing pro-
vincial civil government n the Philip
pines, an act for the government OF the
province OF Benguet. 1t co-ordinates
with the act passed recently for the es-
tablishment OF township government in
the same province. The governor, who
is appointive, will receive salary OF
$I,5oo He will pass upon the acts Of
the town councils and will issue orders
which will have the same effect as ordi-
nances whenever the councils fail to en-
act the necessary measures. The gov
ernor, who will also be the treasurer
and auditor, will be ex-officio, a pro-
vincial Justice OF the peace, and will con-
troll the constabulary. Electors will be
required to affirm that they have had
six months residence and are at least
IS years old and declare their allegiance
to American authority. Three months
imprisonment will be imposed for a re-
fusal to accept municipal Office when
elected. Ecclesastics and soldiers are
dcbarred from office. Delinquent tax
payers will be punished by being COM
PEELED TO do labor on the roads.

DISASTROUS WIND STORM.
Seventy Five Persons Killed and as Many
Injured In the South.

A tornado extending from point
three miles north OF Lula, Miss, to La
grange, Tenn, caused heavy loss Of
life and property Tuesday afternoon. It
appears that 10 lives were lost. 1t is
believed that numerous farm houses and
interior communities were struck and,
being cut off from the outside, were
unable to give notice of their distress.

ASKS POWERS 70 WORK TOGETHER |

Identical Notes Sent 10 the Powers by United

Business Like Lines.

The secretary OF state has addressed
an identical note to the powers interest
ed in the Chinese situation setting out
tersely and afresh the object OF the
United States government as to China
and pointing out how such objects as
are common to the powers can best be
secured The note marks the initiation
OF fresh negotiations on our part on the
arrangement OF new bases to tide over
the impossible situation created at the
last meeting of the ministers in Peking.
Sope responses already are at hand and
it is stated that generally our advances
have been we'll received and tn state
department expresses satisfaction with
the progress so far achieved.
1t is believed that the note is an ap-
peal from the extreme course suggested
by some OF the powers as to the treat
ment of China, especially in the matter
of punishments and indemnities to which
the ministers at Peking seem inclined.
The intent is to push the negotiations

COMPULSORY ARBITRATION.
Latin. american Congress Adopted R-chIIe
Alone IL Obdurate.

Dispatches from Madrid, received in
official diplomatic quarters at Washing
ton, make the first announcement that
in the debates before the Latin-Ameri-
can Congress the principle OF compul-
sorry arbitration. urged by the Peruvian
delegates, has been adopted by almost a
unanimous vote. Chile alone protested
against the action taken.
The decision not only favors compul-
sorry arbitration in disputes between
the American Republics, but also pro-
vides that guarantees shall be given for
the faithful performance of the conclu-
sions reached by the arbitration tribunal
Aside from the immediate question in
volved the decision of the Congress is
regarded in South American quarters
as significant of the alignment of the
Southern Republics on the increasing
differences which are threatening TO
bring about a general crisis involving
most, il not all, of the South American
countries.
Chile appears to be the aggressor and
has adopted the compulsory military
system. This step has caused alarm
among her powerful neighbors in the
South, with which she has numerous
boundary disputes. A united action by
these on some of the pending contro-
versies is looked for.

In involuntary cases 1870 petitions
were filed, OF which adjudication was
made in all except 2S5 cases. OF the
involuntary cases so compositions were
entered into by the bankrupts and the
creditors which were confirmed. The
liabilities involved in I,242 cases upon
which reports were made were $27, I7o,-

OF little more than 800 petitions under
the involuntary feature OF the law.
