A Clear Skis Necessitates food Blood.

"A JAbdF OEfk NcC6SSAtdtOS UOOu DlOOus
About fifty per cent of the people Of
the United States have some imperfec-
tiOn of the skin-due solely to impure
blood. Many persons are ignorant Of
the great purifying qualities contained
in sulphur. Hancock's Liquid Sui
phur, Natures Greatest Germicide, is
so compounded that it may be taken
internally, or applied directly to the
skin to be absorbed through The pores.
Here is what Miss EvaIyn Garst, of
Salem, Va, thinks of it:
"Three years ago l had rough place
on my cheek-it would burn and itch.
1 was fearful it might be of a cancer
Gus nature. l used different prepara-
tiOns, but nothing ever helped it. One
bottle of Liquid Sulphur has cured me
entirely. 1 recommend it to every one
having any skin disease.
The Hancock Liquid Sulphur Co.,
Baltimore. Md, mails free booklet de-
scribing sulphur's healing qualities.

DEFINITION OF A TRUST,

1t seems great pity that such a word as trust
should acquire new and somewhat unsavory sig
nifcance, says the Ledger. The meaning which the
word had in its original and primary use is closely
related to the word true" which has the same
root, What is true may be relied upon, and trust
is reliance upon the truth, or upon the veracity, in
tegrity justice friendship or other virtue or sound
principle of another. The word has deep and pre-
eious meaning in religion something akin to either
faith or hope confident expectation based upon as
The word became useful word when extended,
without loss of this significance to business affairs
Trust is credit in business and this is based upon
confidence in the honety of other people and their
ability and willingness to pay In law and equity
the word acquired technical significance, but one
that presupposes worthy bestowal Of confidence.
1t is trust when property is placed in the hands of
some one, not the owner, and in order that others
may be benefited by it. trust in law is sacred and
no better analogy was ever drawn in discussing pol
itics than the remary quoted by Grover Cleveland,
though not original with him. that ''public Office is
public trust !"
Now it happens that the word trust is applied to
any large corporation that seeks to establish monop
oily or restrict competition. The solicitor of the
Standard Oil Company defines trust as embracing
every act, agreement or combination of persons or
capital believed to be done, made or formed with the
intent, power or tendency to monopolize business,
to restrain or interfere with competitive trade or to
fix, influence or increase the price of commodities
What prevented, distorted meaning to give the
word trust In the corruption Of the language moth
ing is more regretable than this So now it happens
that "trust" arouses sense of injury instead of
the idea of confidence worthily bestowed
