skin DISEASES ARE
EVIDENCE OF BAD BLOOD

1t is the tendency on the part of
SO many people to regard so-called
skin diseases as Just % breaking
out" that leads to so much suffering
from them. There is only one way to
classify and treat a breaking out, "
whether it is a rash, burning, boil,
Eczema, or the trouble having the
appearance of being scaly rash. You
must regard it as blood infection
and to affect speedy and perma-
nent cure It must be treated through
the blood.
Take a simple eXample-some peo-
pie cannot cat acid fruits, such as
strawberries, tomatoes, without the
acid causing a breaking out" of
hives; rcd splotches that itch ter
ribly for a few days. Eating the fruit
adds poison to the blood already
loaded with Uric acid and the eating
of this little fruit is sufficient to
cause these violent and irritating
skin eruptions. If the blood was Wig
orous, healthy and clean, this little
acid would not be harmful. This is
one of the reasons the appearance of
rashes, red pimples, red splotches on
the skin must be taken as indicating

Democratic Leaders Believed to Dis
like Proposal of Levy of Special
Revenue.
WILL OPPOSE WOOL TAX

The possibility OF . general revision
| of the tariff upward was brought to
the fore yesterday by the disclosure
from an official source that the gov
eminent will have to have for the cur
rent expenses of the next fiscal year
$50. 100000 more than Will be~provided
by the war and income taxes and the
tariff act, even IL the sugar duties are
retained. as is now planned by the ad-
lrlinistration.
This $4,000 900 additional revenue
will be needed without 4egard to the
increased expenditures for national
defense, for which the administration
SENS practically to have decided to
provide by issuing bonds.
1t became known yesterday that gov
eminent officials. after q careful inves-
tigation as to the total yield to be ex-
pected from the revenue producing acts
now in force are convinced that next
years incomes will fall approximately
$50, 000, 900 short of the needs of the
government for its normal expenses.

Interest in this disclosure was in
creased by information that a proposal.
which the administration is understood

revenue duty on wool. will meet with
opposition among Democratic leaders
OF the House.
Secretary McAdoo some time ago In a
statement announcing his purpose to rec
ommend the re-enactment OF the war
revenue law and the retention Of the
present duties on sugar said that later
announcement would be made as to the
steps that would be taken to secure
whatever additional revenue might be
needed.
Shortly after Mr.. McAdoo's announce
ment II became known that one means
which administration officials were con-
sidering for obtaining the revenues
NECESSARY to cover the shortage in gov
eminent funds was the reimposing OF q
duty on wool.
1t was learned that Mr.. McAdoo has
discussed this step with members Of
Congress, but no decision was reached
as to the course that the administration
would pursue. The belief here has been
that President Wilson would throw his
influence sgainst any movement toward
a general revision of the tariff schedules
and would try to restrict the changes in
the tariff act at the forthcoming session,
at least to the sugar and wool provi-
sions.

EARLY SHOPPING.

1t is not too early to begin your
Christmas shopping. Only four weeks
remain now before Christmas. and
four weeks is short enough time, in
truth, in which TO make up your mind
what you want to get and where you
want TO send II, to say nothing Of the
time the getting and sending will take.
The practice of Christmas giving, in
America at least, has grown of recent
years into a national extravaganza
and largely through habits of procras-
tination into which we have allowed
ourselves to be tempted. There is
nothing easier than to put off until to-
morrow what ought to be done today,
mas shopping, Our crowded American
lives, which really are not crowded but
are frittered away over non-essentials
and unthinking delays. tempt us to put
off doing the small necessary things,
like Christmas shopping. until the last
minute, and then we sink into deep
wells Of self pity because our existence
is so crowded We haven't time to &C
suit of this enforced haste is that we
will buy anything and everything, re-
CARELESS Of price, being practically
forced to take what we can get instead
of being able to choose what we want
at the price we desire.
The man or woman who will steal a
few minutes from other occupations
and pleasures each day between now
and the middle of December and spend
the time in buying Christmas pres
ents. will be amazed at how quickly
and easily the vexing problem, What
to gel" will solve itself, They will
have the largest assortment to choose
from, the stores will be less crowded
and travel through them will be easier
and more quickly accomplished. Clerks
will have more time. more patience
and more courtesy and will be more
willing to help make selection And
most Of all the desirable things, that
are to be had al reasonable prices, Hill
not all be 'gobbled up and only ne
costly articles or the cheap trinke,s,
that you cannot afford TO give or dc
not want to give, be left.
Shopping early for Christmas gifts
| is not so much a matter of kindness
TO oyerworked clerks as it is a selfish
advantage which we ought not to be
ashamed TO seize. It is a simple prob
lem in economics. You save money
time. worry and temper. and all oi
these are worth conserving II YOU dc
