After Using Stuart's Calcium Waters
My PimpIes Went Away Like Magic

The correct and best blood puri-
fer known to science is-Calcium
Sulphide. This great cleanser is con-
tanned in proper quantities in Stuarts
Calcium Waters and that is why all
blood troubles and skin blemishes
rapidly disappear after their use.
An unsightful and pimply face due
to impure blood is one of the most
disgusting sights one can see and yet
all about us, upon the streets, in the
theatre, when travelling, etc, we see
these horrible results.
There is no need for this condition
if you will take Stuart's Calcium Wa
fers daily and keep all salves, To-
tions, cosmetics and other harmful
preparations from clogging the pores
Every first class druggist in this
country carries Stuarts Calcium Wa

GIANT GASSER
BIGGEST IN STATE
ENOUGH GAS IN NEW WELL TO
SUPPLY CITY MUCH GRE ER
THAN ARDMORE.

AS soon as the pipes are laid to the
Healdton gas well the gas problem for
Ardmore will be solved. 1t looks
reasonable that the proposition Will be
solved for a generation to come for
the reason that not only one gas well
will be found, but there will be many.
The Healdton gas well is a remark
able one. 1t is at a depth of only zoo
feet. and Mr.. Reynolds of the Ard
more Gas Company says he never saw
a we'll of its pressure at such depth
The rock pressure is a little more
than 800 pounds, and the mercury test
shows the well to produce more than
thirty three millions of feet per day.
Being a shallow well the production
may not hold up very long, but with
such a production it is reasonable to
presume that it is good for several
years. In the Loco field there is not
a well that will produce more than
half as much and in the Oil City field
there has never been a well found
that produces one fourth so much gas.
These crisp mornings the gas would
be very welcome in the homes of Ard
more, and it is to be hoped that the
companies concerned will come to an
agreement for the piping of the gas
into Arimore, and that the pipes will
be laid at once.

feet the women, too; and that would
mean that the wives of Progressives,
Republicans, Socialists and anti
Hearst Democrats will be in SYM
pathy with the women workers,
which would make the Equal SUf-
frage League a very exclusive affair,
The Hearst papers have about put
the Democratic party on the blink in
Chicago, and assertions have been
heavy since Hearst support beat
BartZen and HOyne, and Hearst OPP
position carried Flynn, Connery and
O'COnnOr to victory on a tidal wave.
So some folks think Hearst is in
the last ditch and is trying to recover
lost ground by getting control of the
woman vote so as to save Mayor
HarrisOn's scalp next time. But this
doesn't suit the PrOgressives, Repub-
icans, Democrats, LOrimeTites, SuIli-
vanites, Socialists, Merriam or any
political faction except the H.-H.
bunch.
The Hearst play to divide the ranks
of organized labor by jOIIying the
Chicago Building Trades Council
while fighting Fitzpatrick, NockeIs
and the Chicago Federation of Labor
hasn't PANIED out worth whoOp, so
the women were the only faction left
to appeal to; and now the women ap-
pear to be as badly divided as the
men, with Hearst as the great di-
WIDER.

when the executive board of the Hi

The, order transferring twenty-six

ried with it another order never in

The order was to the effect that
each man transferred was to be
placed in uniform-and kept there.
And this was to be done no matter
what his previous record for eff
cheney might be.
1t doesn't need an X-ray to find
the reason for this strange order. It
means that possibly every one of the
twenty-six we're switched because
they had been foolish enough to Of

cinct they happened to have been

1t also means that there already is
a lining up for the next campaign

JURIES FIND TWO
GUILTY OF FORGERY
NJ. Du Pars and Clarence Huffman Ask
for Suspended Sentence, But
Are Refused 1t.

NJ DuPars, who said at one time
that he wanted to be an actor, was
given two years by a jury of the satin
district court on charge of forgery
after his trial Monday afternoon. Du
Pars asked for a suspended sentence,
but it was refused.
The defendant was charged with
having deposited in the Commercial
National bank in Ell PasO $4,000 draft
on the LONE Beach Savings bank at
Long Beach, Cal, and signing the
name of G. A. Hoover to it. DuPars
is said TO have secured something like
$500 on account of the draft before
payments were stopped.
He was arrested several months ago
at Chicago, Ill, on a warrant issued
on a complaint of William W. Bar
bee. cashier of the Commercial Ma
tionaI bank, and brought back here for
trial
Clarence Huffman was the second
defendant convicted Monday afternoon
on a charge of forgery. The charge
against him was that he had passed
several forged checks for small
amounts. There were three cases
against the defendant, but two were
dismissed when he was convicted on
one. The jury gave him two years
Huffman, like DuPars, asked for sus-
pended sentence, but it was also re-
fused.

that the powder fumes would settle
