Obstinate Acne
Quickly Yields
Fine Remedy that Clears
Skin of Pimples on Cheeks,
Temples, Sides of Nose
and Chin.

Acne attacks the glandular structure
of the skin, more particularly those
tiny glands that secrete fat.
And IL is here that s. S. S, the famous
blood purifier is most active in its
influence
There is one ingredient in s. S. s.. the
purpose of which il is 20 stimulate the
cells in the tissues that they select
from the blood the nutriment that
makes new skin and thus eliminates
all irritants, acids and parasites that
infiame the glands. There is a natural
tendency of the fine network of blood
vessels in the skin to throw off impuri-
ties. but where a persistent inflamma-
tory process has invaded the skin, the
natural repair work of the blood is in
terfered with. 1t requires the stimu-
lating activity of S. S. S. to overcome
such morbid conditions. If you have
been troubled with acne, do not despair
of a cure.
You can get S. S. S. in any drug
store, but insist upon having it. The
great Swift Laboratory in Atlanta, Ga,
prepares this famous blood purifier,
and you should take no chance by per-
mitting anyone to recommend a SUBJ
stitute. And If you blood condition is
such that you would like to consult a
specialist freely, address the Medical

You are carried back TO the days Of

at is quite possible that a we'll or
ganized club providing place of meet
ing for the chamber, by paying the
salary of the secretary and assisting
in meeting it's other expenses could
make it feasible to conduct the present
Chamber of Commerce upon dues so
nominal that both organizations
could be maintained.
$50 generous have been the re-
sponses of property owners with re-
ference to providing suitable quarters
that we feel that little difficulty will
be incurred in that direction. How
ever, we think it best to express a
preference for none of the offers sub.
mitted until our own plans can be
more fully developed and more definite
terms secured.
Stock Company.
For the purpose Of housing and
furnishing such club we are inclined
to the organization of stock com.
pany, believing that by that method
those Of our public spirited citizens
who would be called upon to meet the
initial expense, could in time receive
back their money which, in our judy
ment, would be much better than
raising funds by subscription, as all
persons willing to donate under the
latter plan could subscribe for stock
under the former.
"Your committee is SO uncertain as
to the exact character Of the organiza-
ton which the chamber desires to
have formed and the questions and
difficulties not apparent upon the sur
face are so numerous that we find it
practically impossible for us to pro-
coed further until the proposition has
been more carefully considered by the
principal body"
Notwithstanding the evident timid-
ity of the committee, the concensus of
opinion among the members of the
Chamber and business men generally,
is that Aberdeen can and will main
tain a Commercial Club, provided care
is taken at the outset not to splurge,
but to begin with certain assured
income, and keep the expense account
we'll within that limit.
Instead of large number of COM
mittees, President Mumaw announc-
ed that four general COM
mittees, with power to appoint as
sistant committees, would, he believes,
accomplish the best results and he
appointed T. H. Blyth, Jas. A. Hood,
and w. B. Crammatte on industries;
J. B. Benson, I. P. Callison and w. O.
McCaw on railroad rates; s. X. Bowes
H. B. Zimmerman and w. B. Mack on

meets DEATH
| BOARDING TRAIN
Young Man From Seattle In.
stantly Killed Last Night
at Cosmopolis

P. J. Turcotte, a youth about 21
years of age. was instantly killed
about 10 o'clock last night, while try.
ing to board moving freight car,
in an attempt to beat his way to Sc
attic, to see his mother who is ill.
Coroner Hunter was notified and de-
cided no inquest was necessary, and
the body was brought to Whiteside's
undertaking establishment, from
where it was shipped to the lad 8
parents, 3107 East Madison street,
Seattle, today.
Young Turcotte and companion
Of similar age, came to Cosmopolis
last Sunday to work in the saw mill.
Turcotte received a letter from his
sister informing him of the illness of
his mother, and he decided to go
home. Having no money, he and his
companion concluded to make their
way to Seattle on freight train last
night. The other youth succeeded
in boarding the fiat car, but Turcotte
in making the attempt missed his
footing on the brace rod of the car,
and fell. When the cries of his COM
panion stopped the moving train, he
was found dead, with his skull crush
ed in, lying beside the track. AS
the train did not pass over him, it is
believed that his head struck the box
ing of the wheels on the moving car,
and that death was instantaneous.
On the body was found the letter
from his sister calling him home, and
printed envelope containing the
name and Seattle address, and his
father was wired Immediately after
the body was brought to Aberdeen,
and he directed that it be shipped
home for burial.

SETTLERS ON
LOGGED LANDS
Samuel Benn, Founder Of
Aberdeen, Sets Good Ex-
ample for Settlers

Samuel Benn, the founder of Aber-
deem, believes the legislature takes too
serious view of the logged-off land
! problem, and suggests that they take
a lesson from the early settlers Of
Western Washington, who had not
only the stumps but the entire
tree to get rid of, yet they made some
of the finest farms that are in this
section of the state today. He believes
if the state would supply the powder
the settler who really desires to make
a home for his family, has much bet
ter opportunity at this time than had
the pioneers.
Mr.. Benn, with all others who have
given the subject any thought. sees the
greatest difficulty that confronts would
be settlers in the reluctance of the
owners of large tracts of land to sell
at attractive prices. With this fact in
view, Mr.. Benn proposes to sell some
600 acres of logged-off land that he
owns at $500 an acre to actual set
tiers, in tracts to suit and on easy
terms. sac.
Some of this land lies about 10 miles
from Aberdeen, in the Wishkah valley
near the county road, and some in the
North river valley. The land is bot
tom and HILL and is capable of pro-
ducing good crops If placed in cul-
tivation, and an energetic settler could
secure home in few years on it.
OF course the land would not yield the
first year, but after seeding to grass
would afford pasture and the settler
could make good wages in the logging
camps near by.
Mr.. Bonn is also experimenting with
alfalfa and will plant seed on the diff
ferent classes of soil on Grays Harbor
to ascertain what may be done with
this forage crop in this section. He
has some seed that he will distribute
in order to have it tested in the va
rious parts of Chehalis county.
