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,
disGguring pimples.

the South Atlantic naval station from
Port Royal to Charleston, s. G., and
arrangements will now proceed for
the purchase of the site a, Charleston
and the carrying out of the transfer
Already there is available 1921 900
for the general purposes of the station
aud of this not to exceed $l00. 600
can be used in the purchase of the
cite. The first formal step will be
to direct Admiral Endicost. chief of
the bureau of yards and docks, to
arrange for the site in accordance
With the recommendations. There
is q question whether the purchase
price of the aite selected can be
brought within the 100000. That
portion within the Charleston park,
called Chicora Park, can be had at
the governments price, but the prl-
vate land adjoining is held at $50,
600, aud she naval board recommends
price which will aggregate about
$4,000. In case this cannot be
bought at a reasonable figure the
government will resort to coDdemna
tion proceedings The purpose is
TO acquire also certain marsh land, as
we'll as marsh frontage on the op.
posite side of the Cooper River,
which will give the government the
advantage of the approaches. This
marsh land is owned by the State and
probably will be given free of cost to
the government As to s5e establish
meut of the station there itself, there
will be no steps until Admiral Endi-
cott has made arrangements for
securing the site Secretary Long
will send the papers to congress

already is provided for and does not
