half of that amount has been re.

with equal clearness that a shift has
occurred in these tendencies. The
20,403 900 decrease in the value of
imports compared with last year is
exceeded by that $2Z.544.O00 decrease
in exports.
Not since October, 1907, has the
falling off in exports exceeded that in
imports. The loss in export valuation
for the month is traceable to the
manufacturers door, the ease in agri-
cultural products having been less
than $3000,000 for the month. The
months exports were in fact the
smallest since September 1907, be-
fore the financial panic started the
rush of our commodities to foreign
markets while the value of imports is

WORTH KNOWING.

To remove Pimples, Blackheads, Blotches and all forms of Skin erup- tions, is, according to a we'll known Physician, very easy matter; he says that many are afflicted with some one of the above ailments, and are subject to a great deal of embarrassment on ac- count of the unsightly appearance which they present, and recommends the following simple. harmless and in expensive treatment. Go to your Druggist and get this prescription filled: Clearola one-half ounce, Ether one ounce, Alcohol seven ounces; mix, shake yell and apply to the parts affected night and morning, allowing it to remain for at least ten minutes, then wipe off the powder from the skin. Use soft cloth or sponge in applying the mixture and in from ten days to two weeks your face will be smooth and clear as a marriage bell. Get the Pure Clearola, which is only put up in one-half ounce packages. Ask to see it.
