GOOD OFFICERS.

In its praise of the present All
ministration, the Banner in lis last
issue had some praise for the Ma
yor and for the Secretary, and said
that the present Secretary would
be retained in Office.
Is it not strange that the Ban
ner had no praise to offer to the
present Police force, the most in-
portant officers in the municipal
ty. Why did not the Banner had
something to say of their police,
ore they not as good as the balance
of the administration? The Ban
her never said that it was the in
tentlon of the administration to
retain the present Police force, Oh
the contrary. the police, the rumor
says; will be fired, bodily.
This is a good warning to the
present Police force, the town or
gan of the adminisi ration leave us
under the impression that the Po-
lice is not AS good as the balance
of The administration and it is the
intention of that administration to
install an entirely new force. Now
let the Banner aud the admiuistra-
ton clear itself on this point aud
inform the public if they are go
ing to retain or change the pre-
sent police force.
We are satisfied that nothing
will be- said about this subject.

"It is astonishing, " remarked we'll known authority on Diseases of the skin, how such large number of peo- pie, especially ladies, are by attractive ly written advertisements, induced to purchase some of the many so called Beauty Creams now on the market, not knowing of course that they most ly contain oly or greasy substances that clog the pores of the skin and are for that reason the very worst things that they could possibly use. My treat ment of Pimples, Blackheads, Blotch- es and all eruptions of the skin, are as follows and has invaria ably proved very successful. Wash the face carefully every night before retiring with warm water and little oatmeal tied up in a small cloth bag, then after drying we'll. use the following inexpensive and perfectly harmless prescription which can be filled at any Drug Store. Clearola aoz. Ether oz. Alcohol ' ozs. Use this mixture on the face as often as possible during the day, but use night and morning anyway, allow ing it to remain on the face at least ten minutes, then the powdery film may be wiped off. Do not wash the face for some little time after using. By following this simple. treament. you will soon have a clear and Brilliant Complexion. .

It May Surprise
 Some Dyspeptics
TO LEARN THAT OVER. DRUGGING OFTEN DE-
 LAYS A CURE.
Proper Diet, Plenty of Time for Eating and Rest will Cure most Cases Unless the Blood-Supply is
 Deficient.

The adage "0ne mans meat is an-
 other mans poison" is scientifically
 true and to certain extent dyspep.
 tics should allow their desires to die tate their diet, always emitting arti- cles found to cause distress. The adage holds true with drugs. Medicine that will reliev. one case of indigestion will aggravate another.
 Drugs play very little part in the modern treatment of dyspepsia. From list of articles easily digested the pa- tient selects those that most appeal to.the appetite, avoid nasty eating and rest after each meal by lying down for time if circumstances permit. Then, unless the supply of blood to the stom- ach is dehcient, nature works the cure.
 The importance of healthy we'll oxi- dized blood is shown by the fact that the stomach demands about nine times more blood during digestion than when it is empty. In fact, healthy blood is necessay to the normal activity of the stomach and when it is lacking noth- ing will more promptly restore the di- gestion than building up the blood. Pallor and weakness, gas on the stom- ach, sour risings in the throat, dizzi- ness and shortness of breah, when ap- bearing in cases of dyspepsia, point to a deficiency Tn the blood supply. Such case was that of Miss Margaret Reil- ly, of No. 55 Thirty-seventh street, Milwaukee, Wis.
 "I had weak stomach for number of years" she says, land although l was carful in wha l ate, it kept grow Ing weaker. suffered intense pain if .ate a hearty meal. Gae formed on my stomach and caused me to be dizzy. My stomach was generally sour. l was short of breath, had sallow com plextion and felt dull all of the time. At times l was confined to bed for a day or so.
 "l was treated by doctor at Anoka, Minn., and for a time 1 thought he was helping me, but when stopped talk ing his medicine 1 became worse again. After had been sick for a year began to use pr Williams Pink Pills"
 A great many people who are suffer- ing from indigestion are suffering un- necessarily. They can be cured. The first step is to send to the Dr Will liams' Medicine Company. Schenec- tady, N. Y, for copy of their diet book, What to Eat and How to Eat. It IS free on request.
 Dr Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid, on receipt of price. 50 cents per box; six boxes for $2. 50, by the Dr Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady. N. Y. i

Although men usually give less thought to the details of dress than women do, it is to be understood that they are not indifferent to the general effect. Very few men, who have any claim to the expression "well dressed" are willing to appear in faulty shoes. It sometimes happens that their shoes are not up to the standard as the rest of their attire. It is because of the idea that comfort for tender feet can only be found in old shoes. For the benefit of those who have that mistaken idea, let it be known that w. K. Mollan has the "Korrect Shape" shoe for men. It is of soft leather, which, when new, is as comfortable for the feet as old shoes.
