 And The Face
First Show Signs of the Blood Pow erty Which Causes Most Skin
 Diseases.

It is a strange truth that pimples usual ly appear upon the face, thus ilustrat- ing that nature uses the most direct method of convincing man that the blood is filed with poison
 The human crculatory system is said to be the most wonderful of all evidences of nature. It carries health. food and strength to every part of the body It also carries from every part of the body all germ life, waste matter and decay. If through poor eating, indigestion, con- etjpatioh, etc. the blood Is filled with poisonous, decaying, irritating fluids, these poisons are carried to the lungs where they are attempted to be cleansed by the oxygen from air inhaled.
 If this does not accomplish the results demanded the blood takes away the pois- on and carries it to the little cells of the skin, where they leave it. Here these poisons irritate and decay, until at last they form pimples and blackheads and other skin eruptons; at last bursting or are removed by man.
 When you have pimples it is cer- tain sign your blood Is wrong, that the great human blood system is turned into an intricate series of sewerage canals which are filled with impurities.

Western members of Congress are con- tending that this tends to give the man ufacturer al seaboard decided advan- tage over the manufacturer in the in terior on account of the freight rates.
