''It is astonishing" remarked a we'll Enown authority on Diseases of the skin
 how such large number of people, es- peclall ly ladies, are by attractively writ ten advertisements, induced to purchase some one of the many so called Beauty Creams now on the market, not know ing of course that they mostly contain oily or greasy substances that clog the pores of the skin and are for that reason the very worst thing that they could possibly use. My treatment of Pimplss,
 Blackheads, Blotches and all cru; tions ofthe skin, are as follows and has in- variably proved very successful. Wash the face carefully every night before re- tiring with warm water and little oat- meal tied up in small cloth bag, then after drying well, use the following in- expensive and perfectly harmless pre- scription which can be filled at any Drug store. Clearola E oz. Ether OF. Al cohol ozs. Use this mixture on the face as often as possible during the day, but use night and morning anyway. al- lowing 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 follow ing this simple treatment, you will soon have a clear and Bri lliant Com plexion.'

ing Party Factions Anxiously
Await His Arrival.

SACK CENTER. Mimi. September IS
With his voice once more resonant and all
suggestions of hoarseness gone. Judge Taft
made the first of the dozen or more
speeches he Is to deliver today shortly
after o'clock this morning at ST. Cloud,
Minn., in which state the greater part of
the day is to be spent.
North Dakota. where there has been re-
publican trouble over the senatorship, will

tives Of the two factions. headed by Sena-
tors Hansbrough and McCumber. The

question, saying, with tinge of sarcasm
