The great trouble with the majority
of women Is that they try to remove
pimples by outside treatment, such az
sreases, massage, cosmetics, electri-
city, etc. These methods will not curt.
nor even temporarily remove pimples
and facial disorders.
The difficulty is generally impure
blood. The blood is a stream of waste
matter filled with poisons. Its color
is black or blue or brownish cast, in
stead Of ruby red, as it should be.
The best color always comes in
youth, of course, but all the cosmet-
les In the world will not bring back
the color il your blood is diseased or
filled with impurities which it cannot
remove or throw off.

may be, and he will give you box of

COVERING ENTRY
OF ITALY MAY "a
II Was Published by the
State Department
To-day

Washington, D. c., May 25.--A neu-
trality proclamation by the United
States, covering the entry of Italy into
the European war, was published to-day
by the state department, under date of
May "a.
President Wilson told his callers to-
day he did not know the causes for the
delay Of the German reply to the Amer
ican note on the Lusitania. but he pre-.
sumed that the German government was
for the moment absorbed in the new cir
cumstances arising from Italy's entrance
into the war. While Ambassador Gerard
has sent several messages bearing on
what the German reply may be, no direct
nation has been received concerning
the contents, and the American govern.
ment really is uniformed.
The German embassy, however, has
made suggestions to the German foreign
office for the reply and in German quar-.
ters il is said that the note will be of a
character to satisfy American public
opinion.

NO SEPARATE PEACE
AGREED TO BY ITALY
Believed in London that Italian Govern
ment Will Sign Agreement to That
That Effect-No Great Move
ment Yet Made.

London, May 25, :52 a m.--Active
military and naval operations are now
underway between Austria Hungary and
Italy, but there has been no contact of
land forces of any great strength. Air
and naval raids of a minor character
form the sum total of the first "a hours
of warfare between these former asso-
cates in the triple alliance.
1t is generally understood that Italy
has arrived at an agreement with the
new allies, which she will sign, the ex-
isting pact not to conclude separate
peace.
Throughout Italy and Austria the out
break OF war has been made the occa-
sion of demonstration of patriotism and
loyalty. 1t has apparently been greet
ed in both countries as very desirable
ending to the negotiations which had
been going on for months past for
peaceful settlement. In London. Paris
and Petrograd. the Italian residents have
held professions with banners flying and
many of them are making ready to join
the colors.
Temporarily the Austro Italian situa-
ton has put the active campaign, both
in the east and the west, somewhat in
The background, although in these two
war zones fighting of the most serious
nature has been going on.

PART OF BODY FOUND.
Woman Probably Was Murdered Near
Bridgeport, Conn.

Bridgeport. Conn. May 25.-The torso
of woman with the right arm attached
but with head, left arm and other miss.
ing limbs, was unearthed yesterday BY
laborers while excavating in vacant
lot here. The medical examiner is OF the
opinion that il had been buried fully a
year.
Further search ordered BY the police
resulted in the digging up nearly of a
pair OF trousers and a mans under.
shirt and shoes. The garments bore the
mark ~B. 75,' and this the police say j.
the only clew they have which may
lead 10 the identity of the owner Of
garments and possibly to that of the
woman.
The police are working on the theory
that the woman was murdered on a boat
in the harbor. and different parts OF
the body buried near the shore. The
medical examiner believes that the torso
had been buried for 10 months. An au.
