BAD BLOOD, BAD COMPLEXION.

The skin is the seat of an almost end less variety of diseases. They are kncwh 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 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, disfguring pimples.

VIII Il Do?

1t has been a question with The
BEE where cOlored men are placed
at Inc head of institutions or at the
head of government departments,
whether it is not b,st to have the
assistant a white man. In many
instances a colored man will, in
many cases. prove traitor to bis
chief. THEBEE can cite man J in
stances where colored assistants
have been disloyal 10 the cOlored
Chiefs and have made unnecessary
trouble. The Bee would suggest
to them, perhaps with one except

opposite race, which will also elm

his weekly stipend Saturday after
noon he decided to have a frolic in
the Desplaines river at Fourteenth
street. McLain piled his clothes neat
ly beneath a sheltering tree, and there
and then, with one exulting, joyous
bound into the rivers arms he leaped.
When he came to the surface stran-
ger was standing on the bank.
"Can you swim under water?" asked
the stranger.
Sure" said McLain.
"Show me how you do it," said the
stranger. In count while you are
under"
When McLain came to the surface
the stranger was gone. He looked to
the bank where his clothes had been,
but no longer could he see the bright
CLINT of his garter buckle, and the
passionate gloss of his red hosiery
had faded away. So had his trou-
sers, which contained the weekly sti-
pend.
McLain heard the merry voices OF
the laborers as they trudged along
and he shouted for help. He shouted
nearly all the afternoon before he
found q man who would lend him q

police say that tramps lie in wait
