All skin troubles should be attacked
from within by giving the blood circula

most highly recommended blood purifier
ever discovered. Its action is very rapid
Its vegetable nature is such that it nat
urany goes right into the blood, saturates
the entire circulation, battles the tissues
with an influence that enables the skin
TO heal quickly. The action of S. S. S. Is
that of an antidote, and this fact has
been demonstrated time and time again
in the most severe forms OF weeping
eczema.
Its influence in the tissues where the
tiny arteries transfer the red blood for
the worn out blood to the veins is quite
remarkabl and goes on constantly with
every tick of the clock-the beat of the
heart.
And new skin is thus caused to form
while the germs of irritating influences
that cause eczema are scattered and their
harmful nature entirely suspended.
S. S. S. has a wonderful tonic influence

Pensions For Soldiers
Communicated.)

Editor Clinch Valley News:
There should a bill passed to
pension all old soldiers regard
less of where they live. The
pension the boys get who wore
the grey is right and Just as far
as it goes, but i'm some instances
it falls short. Many of the boys
were forced during Reconstruct
ton days to leave their beloved
States.
There was, in those days a
disreputable gang calling them
selves Unionists. who made the
old soldiers life one of constant
dread. They would call on the
soldiers with ropes and withes,
and make fresh the wounds re-
ceived in honorable battle which
were scarcely healed. | remem-

the most deserving and needy
were compelled to leave their

there were few honest and
conservative Unionists. The

FAVORABLE WINTER.

So far the winter of 1928
has been favorable to the far
mers, and they should now be
fairly well up with their plow-
ing. The month of February has,
however, not been favorable, the
ground in this county at least,
being frozen most of the time
too hard to be broken. Which
goes to emphasize the advice
given in the agricultural papers,
that as much blowing as possible
should be done early in the win
ter before the bad weather and
hard freezes come. If postponed
until February or March there is
always the probability of I'M
favorable weather. Keep the
plows running now every day,
when conditions will permit.

WEBB BILL OF NO EFFECT.

The Webb-Kenyon bill, re-
Gently passed by both houses of
Congress, is, really of little
practical value. 1t does not pro-
hibit the shipment of liquor for
private use, and here is where
most harm is being done in pro-
hibition communities. Bootleg
ging or other methods of illicit
selling, is rare except in certain
lawless districts. So long as ex-
press companies are preimtted
to have and deliver the stuff
Just so long will the harvest of
degradation and ruin continue.
The passage of this bill is step
so much gain, perhaps, but
something more practical and
drastic is needed. Liqour, like
morphine, opium and other dan
gerous narcotics, should be put
on she list to be sold only, if at
all, as medicine, and only upon
a prescription from a reputable
physician. Even then, the evil
of liqour drinking will not be
entirely eliminated any more
than is the sale of dangerous
drugs.
The drug habit is becoming
more and more prevalent, for
the reason that any one who has
the price can buy almost any
tablet wanted. The question is
a serious and perplexing one. all
the way through, and will be
eventually solved, if at all, by
drastic, heroic Legislation much
more drastic and heroic than
liquor controlled Congresses are
likely to consent to for years to
come. The Kenyon bill, what
ever there was of good in it.
was emasculated by the Webb
amendment.

HANDS FULL

1t looks now as though Presi-
dent Wilson will have enough on
his hands to keep him busy for
a while. The war in Mexico,
troubles in Cuba, big trusts and
corporations to be dealt with,
the Panama toll discussion and
other things of great importance
are demanding immediate atten-
ton. Add to all this the thous-
ands of clamorous demands of
office seekers, surely this gentle
man will have enough to try
what manner of stuff he is made
of. He will need a wise court of
advisers. Should Mr.. Bryan be-
come a member of the cabinet
he, too, will have ample oppor-
tunity to show his hand. Mr..
Wilson will need, and surely will
have, the hearty cooperation of
the wise men and newspapers OF
all parties in this crucial state
of affairs at home and abroad.

HOUSE-CLEANING.

1t looks now, with the ap-
proach of Spring, that there is
to be a general housekeeping
everywhere. The big job in New
York, the wholesale arrests for
bribery in West Virginia, a
large number of officials of the
big Cash Register sent to Jail,
suspension of police officers in
Roanoke, ct cetera, adj nauseam.
All this argues that the world
is growing better and not worse,
as some fearful souls declare.
The determination on the part of
officials to uncover and punish
crime is an indication of the
growth of better and higher
moral perception.
