The PimpIe

1t is a strange truth that pimples
usually appear upon the face. thus g.
lustrating that nature uses the most d.
rect method OF convincing man that the
blood is filled with poison
The human circulatory system Is said
TO be the most wonderful Of all evil
dences of nature. II carries health. food.
and strength to every part of the body.
1t also carries from every part OF the
body all germ life, waste matter. and de-
cay
If through poor eating. indigestion. con-
stipation. &c. the boood is filed with
poisonous. decaying, Irritating fluids.
these poisons are carried to the lungs.
where they are attempted 10 be cIeanse6
by the oxygen from air inhaled
If this does not accomplish the re-
suits demanded the blood takes away the
poison and carries IL TO the little cells
Of the skin, where they leave Il. Here
these pOlsOns irritate and decay. until at
last they form pimples and blackheads
and other skin eruptiUns. at last bursting
or are removed by man
When you have pmples Il Is a certain
sign your blood is wrong, that the great
human blood system is turned into an
intricate series of sewerage canals which
are filed with impurities.
Science long ago learned that Calcium
Sulphide was the most powerful harm
less. and beneficial blood purifier obtain
able
Stuarts Calcium Waters, under chem
ical tests. cOnclusively prove themselves
to be one of the best methods of pre-
serving the full strength Of this great
blood cleanser.
The real beauty Of Stuart's Calcium
Waters lies in their rapid work. Their
good effects are seen after only a fav

been made clear and clean after onIv

COUNCIL FORCED TO
RECONSIDER ACTION
City Attorney Advises That Course
Recently Adopted as to Proposed
Abandonment of Alley
Was Illegal

Because it took snap judgment last
Tuesday the council had to take it back
yesterday, especially when the city at
torney told the body it had not acted
legally.
The alley which was the subject Of
the action taken is situate in what is
known as "block 15'' of the Angelo
Heights tract. Property owners had
petitiOned the council to abandon this
alley, and proceedings had gone as far
as the publication of the ordinance of
intention of abandonment. The time Of
protest expired last Tuesday, which
was council meeting day, and when the
council met there was one protest be-
fore it. This was from Charles Stam-
son, who owns no property in the ass
essment district. The property owners,
believing the time for protest did not
expire until midnight of Tuesday, which
belief was correct, supposed no action
could be taken by the council until
the meeting next Tuesday. They over
looked the fact that the council has a
right at any time to take abandonment
proceedings.
Councilman Clampitt, in whose ward
the alley is situate asked that the pro-
test be sustained and the alley not
abandoned This action was taken by
the council.
At the special meeting of the council
yesterday morning property owners
who want the alley abandoned appeared
before the council. The city attorney
looked into the matter and found the
council had merely attempted to stop
proceedings by a motion and had not
passed an ordinance multiplying the or
dinance of intention. He declared the
proceedings irregular, and Councilman
Yonkin induced the council to recon-
slider it's action. The matter will come
up in regular form Tuesday
