For a Red
BIotehy Skin
The Remarkable Action of
a Famous Remedy and
Some Facts About 1t.

The skin is but a net work of fine blood
vessels. And it is a perfectly natural
consequence that any influence in the
blood that is a. condition of ill health
makes it's first appearance in the skin.
There are certain medicinal properties
that follow the course of the blood stream
and the influence of these properties is
that of an antidote. This is why S. S. S.,
the best known blood purifier, has such
a positive action in the skin. There is
one ingredient in S. S. S. which peculiarly
stimulates cellular or glandular activity
to select from the blood or from this
fine net work of blood vessels in the skin,
those elements which it requires for re-
generation.
Thus pimples, acne, eczema, lupus, or
any other blood condition that attacks the
skin or seeks an outlet through the skin
is met with the antidotal effect of S. S. s.
The action of S. S. S. in the cellular
tissues of the body serves the active pur-
pose of stimulating each cellular part to
the healthy and judicious selection Of it's
own essential. nutriment. Not only this,
but if from the presence of some disturb
ing poison a condition of disease arises,
S. S. S. so directs the local cells that this
poison is rejected and eliminated from
their presence.
This is why skin troubles vanish SO
readily and why they do not return.
Under the influence of S. S. S. this fine
net work of blood vessels in the skin is
constantly taking from the blood the nu-
triton required for healthy tissue and the
cause of disease is just as constantly be-
ing removed, scattered and rendered
harmless. These facts are more fully
explained in a book on skin troubles sent

poor bean crop always results from
this method, as one good, old gar
dener puts it, "It is the lazy mans
way of gardening"
We pole our beans with round poles
about eight feet long and the thick

pole to each hill and the four poles
form a square brought together and
tied with common binder Irvine, about
nine feet from the ground. This gives

Almost all other members Of the
bean family are quick maturing plants
and the life of the crop covers only
part of the growing season. Not
so with pole lima beans: they are
rather slow growing. It requires
nearly ninety days for. the vines tc

bear they continue to produce bios

BRYAN FAVORS new TREATY
Would Establish An American Protec-
torate Over Nicaragua Similar
to That Over Cuba.

Secretary of State Bryan laid before
the senate committee on foreign rela'
tions a proposal TO establish by treaty
what amounts to an American pro-
tectorate over the republic Of Mic
aragua.
Secretary Bryan proposes to incor-
porate In the pending treaty with Mic
aragua three clauses of the so-called
PLAT amendment" which constitute
the effective control that the United
States now exercises over Cuba.
The treaty with Nicagagua. to which
the vital clauses of the Plat amend
ment would be added. was negotiated
in the closing days of the Taft admin
istration and provides for the pay
ment bv the United States of $1,000
600 to Nicaragua. In return Nicaragua
accedes to the United States the eX.
elusive right TO construct an inter
oceanic canal across that country
thus foreclosing this route to any
European power, and in addition gives
the United States naval base in the
Gulf of Fonseca, and several unim
portant islands on the Atlantic coast
OF Nicagagua.
