Mr.. Norton said that Mr.. Fitzslm-
mons had done most excellent work

Opponents of the Citizens party,
now in complete control of the vii
iage government. denounced the
boards plan of assigning Clerk Fitz-
simmons to lobby for bills affecting
the village government at Trenton

els Speir. who is abroad, the board

according to Trustee Allen, will mean
a saving of 81, 100 per year to the viii
lage, as coal may be taken direct to

as those of the present one.

PLANS TO PRESERVE
BELMONT taking FORM
Conference to Be Held This Morning
with Harry Wardman, the
Owner.
APPROPRIATION IS NEEDED

conference this morning between
the home of the late AMI L. Barber.
and Miss Katherine Montgomery Dab
ney. representing advocates of a plan
to have the government acquire and
preserve the property. probably Will
bring about some agreement as to the
disposition of the place for the present.
Miss Dabney said last night that the
people with whom she had talked about
the governments acquiring Belmont
were unanimous, with very few excep-
tions, in the belief that the beautiful
home of the late asphalt king should
be kept as il is.
Miss Dabney has talked with scores
Of people, including Representatives and
residents of the District She said she
was encouraged to the belief that some
means would be provided TO preserve the
property. either through use as a child
ren's home or through conversion
into a park or playground. The use of
the place as a children's home is more
generally favored because this adapta-
ton of the property would preserve the
house regarded as probably the most
beautiful private home in the Capital.
Mr. Wardman Is holding the property
at 100000 Plans for its acquisition con-
template an appropriation by Congress.
The enactment of a bill to provide such
an appropriation necessarily would re-
quire much time. and endeavor would
be made to have some philanthropist
supply sufficient funds to hold Belmont
until Congress acts.
Miss Dabney stated last night that
several persons have offered to subscribe
generously towards the purchase OF Bel
mont.

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 i'll health
makes its 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 its
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 book on skin troubles sent
by The Swift Specific Co., $50 Swift
Bldg, Atlanta, Ga. You will find S. S. S.
on sale at all drug stores. Get a bottle

be no hating. 1t Is not regarded as
probable that the courts will compel
even a halt in tine work, tho delay
would undoubtedly cost the state a
good deal Of money and even the fling
of the suit may prove a matter OF ma
terial expense to the taxpayers.
Little Interest in Dss Moinss.
Probably there is no place in the
state where there is so little interest
takn in the capitol improvement work
as in Des Moines. 1t is a matter OF but
little concern to the people here, out
side of the district where purchases
are being made of land. This land Is
nearly all in the hands of small prop
erty owners, persons VINO own their
own homes. The fact that when COM
pleted this will take away from the
taxing district a vast amount OF prop
erty which now pays taxes to the city,
school and county support, Is not over
looked by the Des Moines people.
Just why the suit was commenced
by Van Buren, county people In court
in Jefferson county and preliminary
hearing set for Wapello county is not
clear.
Most of the state officials believe
it will be a good thing to let the courts
pass on the case as quickly as posi-
BILE and get it out of the way. AS soon
as it is demonstrated that there Is no
merit whatever to the suit and only a
desire to hamper the state out of spite
for Des Moines on thetheory that Des
Moines alone is to receive benefit the
atmosphere will clear. so it is assert
ed: and then the state will be able to
make some progress with clear hand.
