Hooray! Blood
Free of impurities
Eczema Gone! Acne, letter,
Rash, Pinples, Carbuncles,
Boils-Banished!

1t Is. certainly remarkable how quickly
the action of 5. 5: s, the famous blood
purifier, shows itself in the skin.
There is one ingredient in 5. s. S. which
peculiarly stimulates cellular or glandular
activity to select from the blood, or from
the fine network of blood vessels in the
skin, those elements which it requires for
regeneration.
Thus pimples. acne. eczema, lupus or
any other blood condition that attacks the
skin or seeks outlet through the skin is
met with the anitdotal effect of 5. s. S.
This Is why skin troubles vanish SO
readily and why they do not return. I'm
der the influence of s. :. s. this fine net
work of blood vessels in the skin Is con-
stantly selecting from the blood the nutri-
ton required for healthy tissue, and the
cause OF disease is just as constantly be-
ing removed, scattered and rendered
harmless
You will he surprised and delighted at
the quick change If Won will use S. s s.,
the famous blood purifier. Its action in
the skin is quite sensational. These facts
are most fully explained in a book on
skin troubles sent by the Swift Specific
Co. 213 Swift Bldg. Atlanta, Ga. You
will find S. s. s. on sale at all drug stores.

Robber Makes Bold Attempt.

Galesburg, Ill, Dec. 1.-When Will
Farrell, a dancing master, was enter
tanning at his home al l o'clock yes
terday morning a party consisting OF
his sister Jane, Mrs. James N. Couch
of Rockford and Mrs. w. H. Harrison
and Miss Charlotte Rosenfelt of Dav-
export. Iowa, a man knocked at the
front door and said he had a telegram
for Farrell.
The latter opened the door slightly
and told the man to hand in the mes
sage. Instead he thrust through the
barrel of a revolver, pointing 1t at Miss
Jene Farrell, and threw himself
against the door.
Farrell braced himself against the
door and was assisted by Mrs. Couch.
He knocked the revolver down with
such force that il was broken and a
cartridge fell to the floor. After a five
minute struggle the door was forced
shut.
Diamonds and jewelry valued at
$4,000 was worn by the members of
the party. and it is believed this is
what the burglar was after. The tele-
phone wires had also been cut.

Washington. Dec. Represents
tive Dorsey w. Shackleford of Mis-
souri,. chairman of the new house COM
mittee on roads, is very confident con-
gress will pass road legislation at the
coming regular session. He has in
troduced a bill which will be the cen
ter of discussion in both house and
senate Many other bills have been
Iety of ideas.
"One of the chief drawbacks to
legislation extending federal aid to
the states in highway improvement
is the diversity Of opinion as to what
form this aid should take" said Mr.
Shackleford. 1T was demonstrated
in the last congress that there is
an overwhelming sentiment in the
house in favor OF good roads legisla-
ton. II anything this sentiment is
even stronger in the present con-
gress. But many different PROPOSE
lions have been submitted TO the
committee in the form of bills in
troduced by members and from other
sources"
Under Mr.. Shackleford's plan of
extending aid 70 the states federal
control would be subordinate to that
of the state authorities. In this con-
nection he said:
Primarily roads are local con-
Germs and are within the jurisdiction
OF the states. IL is a fundamental
obligation Of every state to provide
its Inhabitants with easy and con-
yenient ways of travel and transporta-
ton. II is. however. a function OF
the federal government TO carry and
deliver the mails. II is its duty to
provide Itself with the facilities
necessary to a proper performance of
this function There Is no more
reason why the states should furnish
the government with post roads than
they should furnish # with post
omees. One Is just as necessary for
carrying and delivering the mails as
the other
The mere fact that the federal
government makes q minor use OF a !
post road and makes a minor con-
trfbutton TO fits upkeep should not be |
used as pretext for ousting a state |
Of its supervision and control over
the roads within its borders The /
jurisdiction Of the state over its /
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1913-12-01

roads should remain supreme. Al
the same time every dollar OF federal
funds appropriated to post roads
should be strictly safeguarded by
prescribing the standards of roads
to which contribution would be made
and rigidly Withholding such contri
button from all roads not falling
clearly within such requirements.
Federal road legislation should
be framed with a view to stimulat-
ing the people themselves to the &C
quirement of knowledge on the sub
jects of road construction and main
tenance and TO greater efforts in
road improvement. Indeed, this is
likely TO be the greatest good that
will come from it,
Mr.. Shackleford's bill, which was
introduced simultaneously in the
senate by Senator Hoke Smith of
Georgia, chairman of the committee
on education and labor, and will
probably be known as the Smith
ShackIefOrd bill. provides for an ap-
preparation OF S25,00O.O00 annually,
of which s5.OO0.OOO would be ex-
pended in cooperative work on high
ways not used as post roads and
$4,000. 900 on highways over which
the United States mails are carried.
The roads receiving aid under the
proposed law would be divided into
groups, the roads of highest stand.
