Contrary to general opinion the ac-
curing and maintaining of a perfect
ly clear and faultless complexion does
not depend upon the application of To-
cal treatment. There are many persons
who spend small fortunes visiting
beauty, specialists" and having their
faces massaged with perfumed, pink
coicred cold creams or with electrical
vibrations. hoping by these methods
10 get rid of wrinkles and various skin
nlemishes.
Others spend much of their time
steaming their cheeks with super heat
cd vapor. which promotes a rapid and
heavy perspiration, and for the tips
being relieves the pores of any foreign
matter which may be clogging them.
But the great trouble, with such treat
ment Is that they achieve no perma-
nent benefit. and whatever good they
may accomplish is only mornentary.
The reason is obvious. The trouble
Is constitutional instead Of being local,
and for that reason, general, rather
Than tpTirs treatment, is naturally re-
CURED. Nc one would think of trying
to cleanse the sewerage system Of a
city by merely cleaning the external
Openings of few of the sewers, and
allowing the rest OF the aqueduct to
remain untouched. The whole system
needs. TO. be flushed and purified
The pores may be aptly termed the
sewerage system of the body. which
throws Off one-1fth Of its impurities
through them: and IT, for any reason,

placed in the tower, has written the
local firm that the clock is on the way,
having been shipped the middle of the
present week. The letter announcing
the shipping Of the clock and bell has

The Secret OF A

Constitutional Treatment Will Accomplish More
In a Week Than Local Applications i'm Six Months

the other eliminating organs which dis
pose of he remaining four-fifths of the
waste material, partially fail in their
work of elimination, then the newt
able pimples. blackheads liver. spots,
ETC., appear upon the face, thereby
serving notice to the owner OF that
face that something Is wrong within;
something is interfering with the work
Of destroying and throwing off the eff
fete matter from the blood, which has
purities.
The FOOLISH practice of attempting to
cure a t!otchy, or otherwise faulty
complexion, by the use of local means,
should be gwen up at once and more
rational treatment substituted-thato of
purifying the blood, and cleaning the
body's sewerage system, by using
STUARTS CALCIUM WATERS.
Many parsons who have been trying
to gain perfect complexion and to rid
themselves of pimples and other facial
blemishes, thru local means, have
given up this folly, and by the regular
use of stuart's Calcium Wafers-the
great lslcod- and skin remedy-have
not only succeeded In purifying their
blood, getting rid of pimples, ETC., but
have also established a healthy cir
culation through the skin, which had
the effect OF removing wrinkles.

Henry Clews on Crops.

In his advance special Henry Clews
says of the crop outlook:
While the crop outlook is not all
that might be desired, it shows inn
provement and presents nothing to oc-
casion alarm. 1t is quite possible, if
not probable, that we shall have as
large a cotton crop this year as last
year, in spite of the agitation for de-
creased acreage. AS there is good
profit in raising cotton at present
prices, and cotton is the most impor-
tant crop in the adjustment of our
foreign trade balance, the outlook in
this respect is entirely satisfactory.
Whatever shortage there may be in
wheat will be more than compensated
for by the large increase in corn acre
age. If average conditions prevail we
should produce a record breaking corn
crop. AS this cropt exceeds in value
any other two crops combined, and
farmers are securing very profitable
prices for this cereal, it is reasonable
to hope for another profitable harvest
Wheat is, of course, a very profitable
crop at present figures; though it is
not without significance that the pres
,ent high price of flour has so checked
consumption as to cause supplies to
accumulate and force price cutting
among the mills.
THE fruit crops are in as good con.
dition as last year, and all crops com
bined are officially stated to be four
points below last year. but eight points
above the year before. With our in.
dustrial and agricultural situations
both in such promising condition. it is
not surprising that confidence is grow.
