Eczema Gone! Acne, letter,
Rash, Pimples, Carbuncles,
Boils-Banishedi

1t is certainly remarkable how quickly
the action of 5. S. s., the famous blood
purifier, shows itself 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
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 an outlet through the skin is
met with the anitdotal effect OF S. S. S.
This is why skin troubles vanish so
readily and why they do not return. Un-
der the influence Of s. S. S. this fine net
work of blood vessels in the skin is CON
stantly selecting from the blood the nutri-
tion required for healthy tissue, and the
cause of disease is just as constantly be-
ing removed scattered and rendered
harmless.
You will be surprised and delighted at
the quick change if you will use SIS. 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

will find S. S. S. on sale at all drug stores.

Was The Death Of John
Lloyd Of Utica
Deceased Has Relatives In
Mt. Vernon

Utica, March 4--John Lloyd, aged
7S, prominent farmer Of Washington
township, residing at the edge of Uti-
ca, was found dying in his bed this
morning and gasped but once after his
wife and daughter reached his bedside.
Yesterday he was apparently in the
best OF health and aided his son in
hauling load Of logs. When he re-
tired at night he gave no evidence
Of being indisposed, but went as
usual to his bed. At 3 o'clock he
wakened up and spoke to his wife,
but she did not understand what he
said and she dropped off to sleep
again. At 4 o'clock a peculiar sound
emanating from him aroused his wife
again. She called to her daughter up
stairs and when the two reached his
bedside he breathed once and passed
into death. Apoplexy was pronounced
as the cause of his demise. He is sur.
vived by his wife and eight children,
Of whom two daughters, Mrs. Lena
Norris and Mrs. Blanche Thompson,
reside in Newark. The others are
Charles of Mt. Vernon, Alice, Mrs.
Dollie Reynard, Mrs. Ida Brown, Frank
and John Of Utica.
He was man highly esteemed in
his community where ne had lived
all his life.

SINCERE FLATTERY

The Star has already called at
tention to the fact that a big farm
ing and stock paper, published away
out in Oregon, had appropriated a
scene out of Facts and Photos" the
Marion County Booklet. namely a
picture taken on the Palmetto Stock
Farm near Ocala, as a view on a
stock farm in the great northwest.
And later that Dixie" swiped view
from the Carmichael ranch for a
scene on Duval county farm. Now
comes "A Book of Photographs, = is
sued by the Lake County Land Own
ers' Association, Fruit1and Park. It
has number Of fine Lake county
scenes in it; it also has thirteen
views taken from Facts and Pho
tos." Imitation is the most sincere
fattery.

CLAFLIN'S FIRM 4
HOUSE OF CARDS

The conservative old Springfield,
Mass. Republican says:
The more the Claf1in failure is
studied, the clearer grows the indict-
ment of the business system which
the concern represented. There was
no reason inherent in present trade
conditions for such a collapse. Money
has been cheap for months, and the
banks have had a great abundance to
loan on good commercial paper. To
say that-a concern must go into bank
ruptcy because trade s1ackens is to
say that slackening of trade must
send all enterprises into bankruptcy,
and that business is entitled to be
considered merely fair weather
proposition, with no obligations to
organize itself so as to ride out the
usual storms of each business gener-
alton.
Here was concern that was uni
versa1ly recognized as the greatest in
its line, with a remarkable prestige,
and assumed to enjoy the best of
management. Yet in commenting on
the failure, the New York Times,
which is par excellence the business
| mans organ, remarks: cit is house
of cards which has fallen" AS a
trade combination, with chains" of
stores scattered over the country, it
went ballooning in as crazy a way as
| one often reads about. Stated in
banker-like terms, to quote a Wall
street financier: "A process of ex-
pansion which called for constantly
increasing borrowings finally gave
way under its own weight"
What the New Haven was in rail
reading, Claf1in company seems to
have been in merchandising. The
parallel in some ways is striking In
both cases one finds the old, vel
