READ THIS.

Tt is astonishing" remarked 2 well 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 0ly 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 invariably 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 well. 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 tune after using. By following this simple treament, you will soon have clear and Brilliant Complexion.

Here is what one of the doctors have to say about the Holsman auto mobile.
 Chicago, H., Jan. 26, 1905.
 After running one of your automo- piles in my practice of medicine since last July, I feel as if I should give you a letter of thanks for the great service it has done me. During the past four years have run three other gasoline machines, all of which were failures. They had too great weight, complica- ted machinery and pneumatic tires, any one of which is sufficient to make machine impracticable. l feel great relief from trouble in running your machine. The light weight, the high wheels, the noiseless ropes, the simplicity, the perfect air cooling system. and the greatest of all the ab- sence of pneumatic tire expenses and trouble. make for your machine, in my estimation, the greatest advance in automobiling yet made by any one. 1 have recommended all my friends to buy them for business or pleasure and I find that all who have done so are equally we'll pleased as myself. My operating expenses and repair bills are less than keeping one horse while my service is more than three horses could possibly do. l thank you again for the great saving of expense and high service l have derived from your machine.

chal MacMahon to Malakoff. The
marquis says:
