A Woman.s Complexion

1t is rank foolishness to attempt
to remove sallowness or grexsiness
of the skin by the use OF cosmetics,
or "local' treatment, as advocated
by the beauty doctors" The only
safe and sure way that woman can
improve her complexion is by purify
ing and enriching the blood, which
can only be accomplished by keeping
the liver healthy and active. The
liver is the seat of disease and blood
pollution. Green's August Flower
acts directly on the liver, cleanses
and enriches the blosd, purifes the
complexion. i also cures consti-
patton, biliousness, nervousness, and
induces refreshing sleep. A sin1.c
bottle of August Flower has been
known to cure the most pronounced
and distressing case of dyspepsia
and digestion. New trial size bottle

Parker And Free Trade.

There are loud walls of horror In
tn at portion of Parker press which
looks upon tariff reform as sacred
thing because of President Roose-
.velts's fat-footed declaration in fa-
vor of the protective system as
something so firmly established in
the minds of the American people
that it is folly to think of changing it.
Well, what is Parker going to do
about it? Will he come out in favor
of immediate and radical tariff revi-
sion?, Will he take his stand square
ly on the st. Louis platform, which
declares that "Protection IS rob
berry," Will he follow the lead of
the New York Reform Club and
make that view of the tariff the lead
ing issue of the campaign?
It will be interesting if he does,
for he took occasion in his speech of
acceptance to say that he was in ia
vor of moderate and deliberate tariff
reduction, but he begged to assure
the American people that they need
have no apprehension, because the
Senate would be con tinued to be con-
trolled by the Republicans for four
years longer and the Democrats, if
put in power, could not do anything.
Do the free trade worshippers wish to
prod him into making himself ridicu-
lous?

Notes From Washington.

ing the progress OF the United
States do not obtain it. An i'm
portant ork has just been issued
by the Government. compiled by
the Bureau of Statistics, being
t he annual review of the foreign
and internal commerce of the
United States, for the fiscal year
wear ending June 30, 1904, and
an estimate for the current year.
The summary contains many
statements regarding the com
merce. finances, transportation,
production, ETC., of this country,
and supplies the latest and most
complete information possible;
The population of the states is
n ow estimated to be 81, 753, COO
In 1900 the wealth per capita
was 81. 1866. The public debt
per capita has fallen from $76. SO
S11.81 to-day. The largest
amount of gold coined in any one
year was Sill, 344,22O in 1899.
The gold now in circulation
amounts to $646, 586,31o The
mum Der of national banks to-day
is 1881, asagainst but sc in 1868.
In the matter of imports into
this country it will surprise
some to learn that notwithstand-
ing our great agricultural and
stock raising resources, we I'M
ported last year food and live
animals to the amount of $212,-
O57, 293, and it is estimated that
t his year theimports OF the same
articles will aggregate 1924, 276,-
1913. Our heaviest imports are
of crude articles for domestic in
dustries. Last year thes e
mounted to nearly 284 millions
of dollars; this year it is est.
mated there will be decline of
So millions of dollars. Regard
ing articles manufactured wholly |
or partially for use as materials
in mechanic arts, the imports
for 1904 are much larger than
ever before, reaching the sum of
1876 millions of dollars. In 1901
the amount was 100 millions of
dollars. Articles manufactured
ready for consumption show a
slight decline for this year, be-
in g 166 millions of dollars as
against 1859 millions for 1908.
That the Americans are prosper
Gus and have plenty of money to
spend is shown by the fact that
for the present year it is esti-
mated they will import 1872
millions of dollars worth OF
articles of voluntary use",
lu xuries, etc. Our total imports
for 1904 are estimated by the
Bureau of Statistics to amount
to 1901, O9O,978, decline over
last year of but IS millions of
dollars, which is really but
slight fuctuation when the vast
total is considered.

QUEER CHRISTMAS GIFTS.


Small Particles of Radium Presented
by London Women.
There j., this to tc said Of the latest
FAD Of London society women--thr civ
in" Of small particles OF radiUn as
Christmas rresents-that none Of the
recipients can complain of having re-
ceiveu q cheap gift. TO give ro>li,.m III
this way costs from $40 to $50. the out
fit necessary therefor consisting of a
''spinthariscope" and a speck Of the
new metal hardly big enough to be
seen with the naked eye.
Sir William Crookes, the English sci
enlist, invented the spintlla riScope,
which is kind Of microscope through
which small quantities Of the precious
stuff can be examined to better adj
vantage. The spinthariscOpe sold by
London chemist who has the radium
monopoly is about the size of finger
ring case and has an opening for the
eye something like that in child's
kaleidoscope. By taking the apparatus
into darkened room and squirting
through the eyehole one can see flashes
of constantly varying light shooting in
all directions, like miniature fireworks.
The idea Of making Christmas gifts
Of radium has proved uncommonly in
fictitious, and the run on the chemists
stock necessitated hasty communism
ton with the firms in Bavaria and Aus
trta who supply most of the radium
that reaches England. - Washington
