up your skin

Pimples and eruptions of all kinds
come from the inside. The blood casts
out the impurities it contains and thus
pimpies, boils, etc, appear. Cleanse
the blood, stop the poison from devel-
oping in the blood tissues and pimples
will vanish as if by magic
Stuarts Calcium Waters contain in
natural manner the greatest blood
purifier-Caleium Sulphide.
Calcium Sulphide and the other in
gradients of these remarkable little
waters are Just what impure blood
needs. You must know that the blood
is rushing through our veins very fast
1t takes less than a minute for our
blood to cover the entire body
You can thus readily see that Stu
arts Calcium Waters, when they enter
the body, have an almost instant effec
upon all impurities no matter where
located, whether it be the tip of the
nose Or the ends of the toes.
By the use of Stuart's Calcium Wa
fers your complexion will take on :
fresher hue and more natural serie
of tints than ever before.
Impure blood is blue or black. Purif,
it and it becomes ruby red. This colo
showing beneath the skin is the secre
of all beautiful compilations.

THE PERILS OF
THE BATH ROOM
Dangers from Electric Shock Nue.,
Greater Than at Other
Times.

A man is in much greater danger
from electric shock when taking a
bath than under ordinary d.tions,
as the surface of the body when
moist offers much less resistance to
the current than when dry Pers )
have been killed while bathing by
current that would scarcely have at
fected them outside the bath Says
Cosmos (Paris. October 30):
"Balthazard has recently told at the
Society CT Legal Medicine of the case
of lady killed by electric shock In
her bathroom at the moment when
she was pressing the button of an
electric bell between the poles OF
which was difference of potential
Of not more than Ito volts.
'In ordinary circumstances, owing
to the great resistance Of the human
body, such a small electromotive
force pres snts no great danger: tut
when the circuit contains, as in the
case reported, large surf .ce Of moist

Promoter Of the Burlinston-ouncy
Line Tells Quincy Wing Reporter
That Intcrurban Project is
a Sure Go.
HE GOES EAST TONIGHT
Will Visit Paris and Get the Bonds
Signed for Building the Road
Expects to be Gone About
One Month.

R. o. Marsh. promoter of the Bur
lington- Quincy system interurban,
was in Quincy Thursday morning COM
ing from Warsaw spent the day get
ting additional information for his
proposition and departed at 6 O'Clock
for Warsaw where he will remain I'M
til Sunday night when he departs for
New York from which place he will
sail in few days for Europe to sign
bonds of the French syn6 cate at
Paris that has agreed to finance the
road, says the Quincy Wing.
II can tell you in advance said Mr..
Marsh to officials of the Chamber of
Commerce, who saw him at Hotel
Quincy, that my trip to Paris is going
to be successful. l expect to be gone
month, possibly longer, but think
that i can settle everything in that
length of time and get back to put in
some heavy ticks on this proposition
Of mine"
When seen by Wing reporter Mr..
Marsh said that everything looks good
and that he can not figure any possible
way that his project has chance at
this stage of the game to fall through.
That road is going to be built just as
sure as am here talking to you" said
the promoter, land we are not going
to lose time getting at it. Everything
Is coming our way and l have never
during my experience handled deal
that looked more fruitful"
Palmer Gets information.
Engineer Palmer of Philadelphia,
representing the French syndicate
that will finance the road some time
ago, asked for elaborate, extensive and
varied information of the Chamber of
! Commerce and the Information de-
sired was furnished from CONNER
cial, Industrial, financial and trans
portational point of view. He later as
sured executive officials of the cham
Der that he was well pleased and it is
believed that the Information given
him, largely influenced the syndicate
at Paris to increase the bond issue for

Mr.. Palmer and with Mr.. Marsh and
others back of the proposition in get
ting a franchise into and out of the
city through the city council.
Mr.. Palmer is not a talkatiye man
but in conversation with members of
the executive board of the Chamber
Of Commerce he said that this propo-
sition Marsh is backing, looks as good
if not better to him than anything of
a similar nature that has been at
tempted in the middle west.
No Delay Expected.
According to Mr.. Marsh, affairs are
in such state that there is no reason
why delay, even short one, should
be experienced in getting bonds floated
to finance his project He says tina,
his proposed road has received the en-
dorsement of influential men who are
acquainted with such propositions and
that the cities and towns that will be
benefited by the road have co-operated
to the extent that there is not hitch
in sight
Before departing for Warsaw, the
promoter said that he fully expected
to be back in this part of the county
in a month or possibly five or six
weeks and that he will come to Quin-

Farm Management
Not Appreciated

To the Editor Of the Sun: Sir-Al-
most daily one can see the whole
press OF the country weeping tears
OF sorrow over the fact that our
young men who have been gradu-
ated at the agricultural colleges do
not 60 TO the farm. but drift into
other callings. That this is the fact
no one posted will deny. There
must be reason for such condi-
tions and the press has been most
tardy in not going into the subject.
Find the cause and labor TO re-
move it, so that the noble calling of
agriculture may not fall behind in
the rapid advancement of science.
During the last two weeks | have
been considering this subject most
closely and think | have discovered
why men who have brains and ex-
perlence TO sell look for other chan
nels than agriculture.

known to me for years as one of the
most scientific, progressive and
practical farmers. as well as an ex-
pert dairyman and feeder and fin
isher Of prime beef steers, decided
that, under the circumstances with
which he found himself surround
ed, it was best to change places. So
he inserted advertisements in two
leading morning papers of the
State, for position on some large
farm where ability and experience
would be paid for. In answer to
these advertisement e received
about 80 replies. Providing him.
self with letters as good as any
man ever presented, he started out
to look over the field.
The first place where he called
was fine farm of $50 acres. His
letters being classed as extra good.
he was invited to inspect the farm.
