GIRL RUINED HER
FAIR COMPLEXION

Someone told me it would stop per
spiration and | would not need even
shields any more. | had always suf-
fered acutely from the odor of my per-
spiration and was willing to do any
thing to stop it, but | didn't know it
would ruin my complexion"
This was the pitiful story she told
her physician. She had used some as
tringent powerful enough to contract
the pores and stop perspiration, with
the result that the body could not throw
off impure matter through the pores,
and this inpurity went back into the
system and broke out in pimpes and
large, sore, eruptiVe boils.
Never try to stop perspiration The
more you perspire the more impurity is
leaving your system, and your com
plexion should be clearer.
To destroy the odor of spiration
USE HID. 1t is a pure dainty. cream
deodorant, nothing more. 1t never clogs
the pores nor Tetards perspiration II
simply makes the skin deodorant; per
spiration will flow freely but will have
no odor. HID itself is odorless and
simply keeps the clean freshness of the
bath about you all day 1t can not in
jure you and will not soil your lingerie
All healthy people perspire in the warm
weather, and all refined people USE,

HAPPY FAR MEHS
They Have Every Cause for Joy on
the Next Thanksgiving Day.
From the Detroit Free Press, Sept. Il

From the Detroit Free Press, Sept. 70,
1912:
marvelously fortunate year Is this
of 1912 for this land CT ours. The
government crop report yesterday re-
news once more the proof that ell
things are uniting for the welfare of
Americans. 1t Is an amazing show
ing, 3O0,O00,000 bushels of spring
wheat being reported as in sight,
where last year the yield was cnly
190,000,OCO bushels, and the year be-
fore 20O,000,000. Added to the winter
wheat, which in spite of the scft wheat
losses in our own section of the coun-
try, will still pass the 1911 mark, tie
total yield of this grain will run well
above 7O0,G00,000 bushels, and If pri-
vate advices are reliable, even above
S00,000,000 bushels.
We have had but two years in the
past when the 7GG,000,0CO mark was
passed, 1906 and 1901, and the outlook
is that the return per bushel for the
harvest now available will exceed that
Of either of these.
Nor is wheat the only crop that is
practically assured CT reaching record
figures. Corn, potatoes, barley, rye
ana some others are already in the
class of bumper yields. The indica-
tions amount to assurance that they
Will all exceed any previous aggre-
gate.
While the American fields are TEEN
Ing with their produce across the
ocean is heard the cry Of distress.
Cold weather and prolonged rainfall
have played havoc there The land
Is sodden and unfriutful. What crors
have grown are drowning in flood.
The American farmer, with his barns
bulging with the yield of Is acres
will get big prices for is big stock
of food supplies.
A boUntiful harvest and strong
demand should make the farmer of
this country happy man on Thanks
giving day.
