To Quickly Overcome
a Red, BlOtcIHy 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 influences Of
these properties is that of an anti
dOte. This is why S. S. S., the best
known blood purifier, has such a posi-
tive action in the skin. There is one
ingredient in S. S. S. which peculiarly
stimulates cellular or glandular activ-
ity to select from the blood or from
this fine net work Of blood vessels in
the skin, those elements which it re-
quires for regeneration.
Thus pimples, acne, eczema, LUPUS,
or any other blood condition that at
lacks the skin or seeks an outlet
through the skin is met with the anti
dOtal effects Of S. S. S.
This is why skin troubles vanish so
readily and why they do not return.
Under the influence of S s 8 bis
fine net work of blood vessels in the
skin is constantly taking from the
blood the nutrition required for
healthy tissue and the cause of disease
IS Just as constantly being removed,
scattered and rendered harmless.
These facts are more fully explained
in book on skin troubles sent by

Alleged Double Cross By

Manager of Reds Says He Never Gave Federas Sec
ond Thought Until Fired; "Will You Play With
the Cubs if Evers Isn't a Member?"
Joe Tinker Was Asked

gestion that my return to Chicago
might not meet with Ever's approval.
Then Murphy's representative asked
me. suppose Evers was not with the
Chicago Cubs next season?
I asked for further particulars, but
that's as far as the Cub agent would
go. He demanded again to know if L
would play with Chicago, and I told
him I would, under the conditions
which he just named. He then cabled
to Murphy in Europe. Murphy immed-
lately started for Chicago, but before
he arrived here the deal with Brook
lyn had been completed I really be-
Heve though, that he wanted me either
to manage the club or assist Roger
Bresnahan, who may get Evers' job
this season.
Tinker Gets Disguised.
TT was just at this time that I be-
came thoroughly Disguised with the
underhand methods of the major
league owners. They play a political
game, sans craftsmanship, all the
time I had a runin with owner Eb-
bets a few days later, when he told
me that he had agreed with himself
as to what salary / was to receive,
and it was useless for me to suggest
figure. I demanded a three year con-
tract for $500 a year and would never
have played for cent less. While
dickering with Ebbets, the Federals
came along, and I upset a writing desk
getting my name to their contract.
I'm now absolutely sure that we
will whip the big leagues. They have
more weak sisters in the two major
circuits right now than we have, and
they'll have twice as many next sea-
son as they had last season"

Ross is not in Herricks class. He

essentials. After the sixth round at

he would have doubtless made a bet
