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

The skin Is but net work Of fine blood
vessels. And 1t is a perfectly natural
consequence that any influence In the
blood that Is condition of Ill health
makes its first appearance in the skin.
Ihere 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
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 1t 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 II from the presence Of some disturb.
Ing poison a condition OF disease arises.
8. 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 8. 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., 100 Swift
Bldg. Atlanta, Ga. You win find S. S. s.

Marcus Aurelius. 1t stands low. for
1t is half-buried in the accumulated
soil, and one of its portals is debased
to the purpose Of a native cooper's
shop. But its carvings still preserve
something Of their arcient beauty, and
the structure standing there in the
heart Of an alien city and civilization
during all these centuries speaks OF
the power and prestige of the days OF
the Caesars.
The desert comes close up to TripolI
on all sides. There Is no hinterland
as there is with Tangier and Algiers
and Tunis There are rich resources
In the sands behind it, but in the Trt
politaine there Is no attempt at de-
velopment. The city carries on a linn
tied caravan trade with the interior
as 1t has done from time immemorial
but the trade is attended with diff
f1culties. The desert tribes are fierce
and savage. and they rob and kill. No
European, no Tripolitan even, can Dos
sibly venture into this part of the
Sahara unprotected. When the cara
vans go, 1t Is In vast numbers, com
prising two hundred, FIVE hundred, OF
even a thousand camels, with armed
attendants forming {. private army
and their return, months or even two
or three years later, is a matter of eU
cited interest and graduation for tha
whole city, just as the return Of the
East India merchantmen used to bS
for Salem.
Tripoli. the city. has between thirty
five and forty thousand inhabitants;
the Indigenous races, Berbers, Arabs
and negroes, Of course, making up the
bulk of the population. There are
eight thousand Maltese. The Euro

numerous. tallying about six hundred
The Turks consist only Of the few
troops and the governing officials, al
whose head is the governor-genera

Regeb Pasha. He is, of course, the
personal representative of the sultan
The desert population of the entire
vilayet or province is very difficult ia
estimate, but in the most recent local
and official reports 1t is given al
about 100000.
Tripoli has thirty mosques and thir
teen synagogues, but until within
few years 1t had no schools whatever;

Dents on Furniture.

following is very good: First damp
en- the marked part with water, then
cover with several thicknesses of wet
brown paper and then hold hot iron
close to the paper, not actually touch

ed. This quite effectively removes all
dents and gives very good results.

How to Cook Lamb Kldnexs.

How to Cook Lamb Kidneys.
When you buy lamb kidneys have
the butcher leave all the fat on them.
Wash them and put in baking pan
with little salt and pepper and bake
about one-half hour in a good hot
oven.
Just before serving, cut open the fat
carefully and remove the kidney; and
hope you will enjoy them, as my
folks do. Cooked this way they lose
all the strong flavor that they usually
have.

Moral Indifference.

If ignorance and passion are the
foes of popular morality, it must be
confessed that moral indifference is
the malady of the cultivated classes.
The modern separation of enlighten-
ment and virtue, of thought and con-
science, of the intellectual aristocracy
from the honest and vulgar crowd, is
the greatest danger that can threaten
liberty.-Henri Frederic Amiel.

Successful Jelly Making.

Use good fruit which is little un-
der ripe.
Use the best granulated sugar.
Do not make large quantities of jel-
ly at one cooking.
Heat the sugar in the oven before
adding it to the fruit juice.
The jelly will be clearer and finer if
the fruit is simmered gently and not
stirred during cooking.
Set the jelly in sunny window for
twenty-four hours, then cover with
melted paraffine and set in dry, cool
place.-Woman's World.

Worth Extra Time.

Prisoner at the bar" said the
Judge, "is there anything you wish to
say before sentence is passed upon
you?" "No, my lord, there is nothin'
care to say, but if you'll clear away
the tables and chairs for me to thrash
my lawyer, you can give me year or
two extra"

an entertaining letter of travel
~ along Barbary's coasts. From
his description of Tripoli the
following paragraphs are taken,
though 1t will be seen that he wrote
before the ancient city had become
the center Of military movement:
Tripoli in Barbary, the Turkish city,
stands up wonderfully behind its long
walls. as viewed from the deck in
the early morning. Its distant build
ings show every tint of buff and am
Der and creamy white, with here and
there a dash Of pink or soft blue.
Seven minarets, each with tip or spire
OF emerald green, point the way Of
heaven to the faithful, and two frown-
ing gray fortresses threaten the way
In other direction to infldel assailants.
The view is distant, because there is
no harbor and the wide bay Is shall
low. Ships must lie well out in the
ofing.
Here is city little known to the
world, though 80 alluringly in the cur
rents of the worlds travel and trade.
Few traders and fewer tourists visit
Tripoli. Probably not many persons
could even tell you exactly where this
Turkish desert colony is.
Must Have Escort.
The landing Is made In small boats,
and passports or passes consulaires
must be shown at the little landing
stage before permission to land is
granted. It is well to repair at once
to the British, French. or Italian con.

lection Of kavass, for the native
