SAD BLOOD, SAD COMPLEXION.

The skin is the seat of an almost end- less variety of diseases. They are known by various names, hut 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 short time, but cannot remove per manently the ugly blotches and the red, disfguring pimples.

She was taken to two celebrated health springs, but received no bene- out result until we decided to try S. S.

SKUNK FARMS DO NOT PAY.
shown by an omcial Report ON the
Subject TO the Secretary
of Agriculture.

A newspaper story of the profits
made by raising skunks for their skins
is giving officials of the agricultural
department no end of trouble. It first
bobbed up about year ago. It set
forth that the agricultural depart
ment had been studying skunk culture,
and had found that the beasts were
more profitable than gold mine. As
a result of the story the department
has received many letters of inquiry,
says q Washington report.
T. 8. Palmer, assistant chief Of the
biological survey, wants to correct
this Misrepresentation. In report to
Secretary Wilson he says:
"Misled by the statements about
the rapid increase of skunks and the
high prices paid for their skins, many
persons seriously considered the ex-
pertinent OF starting skunk farms.
For several years list has been kept
of such farms located in various parts
of the country, but so far as can be
learned most of them have been aban-
doned.
Raising fur-bearing animals for
profit is not newtidea. The industry,
however, has apparently never adj
vanced beyond the experimental
stage. except in the case of the farms
for raising the arctic or blue fox, es-
tablished on certain islands of the
coast of Alaska.
Minks and skunks breed rapidly in
captivity, but the low price of skins
make the profits rather small. Last
season the highest market price for
prime black skunk skins from the
northern states averaged about $1.45
each, but white skins sold as low as Is
to 20 cents apiece. Skins that have
much white or which are obtained
from the southern states usually
bring less than dollar each, price
that leaves little margin for profit
after paying the expenses Of raising
the animal in captivity"
