The Way to Cure
All Skin Diseases
The Prescription Is Simple
Purify the Blood by Using
Stuart's Calcium.
A TRIAL PACKAGE SENT FREE.

II people only realized the utter absurdity Of
attempting TO cure a pimply, blotchy, unsghtly
complexion by means of the many irrational and
illogical methods employed in "beauty parlors.' -
and also in the boudor, thousands OF dollars
which are wasted every year-literally thrown
away-would be saved, and the complexion rem
dered clear and free from blemishes through con-
stitutional treatment at about one-tenth Of one
per cent of the cost Of the fancy and exceed
ingly expensive local treatments"
Tho idea OF nlassagng the cheeks and at
tempting to rub in a so-called skin food Is the
height Of nonsense. Nature never intended the
skin 10 be fed from the outside, but from the
inside exclusively. and 10 is the blood which
really feeds the skin. builds It up and supplies
II with nutriment absorbed from the digestive
system. There IS really such thing a
.'skin food any more than there is heart
food" ''iung food or brain food
The skin Is waterproof. air-proof envelope
over the muscular system. and 1t has no power
to absorb cold creams. any other indictments
when rubbed over its surface. While, of course,
steaming the face, massaging with electricity,
or by hand, will draw the blood temporarily TO
the surface and produce artificial glow. which
may last half hour so. but such treatment
brings no lasting benefit. and will never cure
wrinkles. pmples pustules. blackheads Or other
facial blemishes.
In the way which beauty doctors" have-those

These powerful little waters taken
into the system exert their wonderful, blood
purifying effects, and they never let up for a

Need for q Central Station.

Ihey fully appreciated the necessity for
central station and headquarters for the
department. 1t is sad. A visit to the
hrst precinct station was all that was
necessary to convince them that the ac-
commodations there are not fit for human
beings. and they also found that the
building is not suited for the pur-
poses for which it is use d. Maj Syl-
Fester pointed out that a new central sta
tlon would permit the abandonment of
the present insanitary structure. 1t would
also mean the removal of HEADQUARTERS
from the new District building.
1t is pointed out that the maintenance
or headquarters in the District building
means keeping open the building during
the tWenty-four hours of each day. This
1t is said. means the employment of extra
watchmen and necessitates the expendi-
lure OF other money in order to fully pro-
tect and clean the building. and renders
likely damage to the structure.
With the removal of headquarters the
additlonal expense for the care of the
building and the liability of damage to
the attractive structure would be elmi-
mated The District building would not
have to remain open all night. Maj Syl-
vester has never suggested any particular
site for a central station, merely recon-
mending that it be built in the central
part of the city.
Many persons who have had dealings
with the police department since the
removal of headquarters from Louisiana
avenue have maintained that the head
quarters of the department should be
nearer the courts. 1t happens every week
day during the year that persons having
to attend the courts also have business
with the property clerk of the police
department, and when the two places are
so distantly separated, it means an in
convenience for them. The erection of a
suitable building near the courts, il Is
asserted, would be to the best interest
of the police department and the COM

Horse VS.. Automobile.

The precincts visited by the committee
yesterday included Nos. 1, g 5. and 8.
1t was arranged by Maj. Sylvester to
have the automobile patrol wagon at the
sixth precinct to respond to an alarm
of fire in order to demonstrate the diff
ference between that and the horse
drawn patrol wagon. An alarm was
sounded from the box at New Jersey and
Massachusetts avenues, and both vehicles
were soon headed north on New Jersey
avenue. Pat Fitz. as the drivsr of the
horse is SO Familiarity known to the
police, had the better of the automobile
until his horse fell.
1t was an unusual thing for the driver
to have anything happen to his horse, but
he was so anxious to beat the hofseless
vehicle and make good showing that
he was unable to avoid the accident.
Maj. Sylvester commented upon the run
made by the two vehicles and explained
to Representatives Smith and Wiley the
difference in the cost of maintaining the
vehicles. Although the original expendi-
ture is greater for the horSeless vehicle,
he said, its maintenance means the saw
ing of from SO to SO month.
