The Importance of Skin
Care in the Springtime

Infectious skin diseases are irritat-
Ing, unpleasant, unsightly and dan
gerous. There never was greater
mistake made than trying to cure
such disorders with pastes. lotions or
creams, rubbed on the outside. You
can't cure skin diseases that way. be-
cause they are the direct result of In
fected blood, and you can't rub or
soak poisons out Of the blood.
The annoyances of skin troubles are
worse in spring than any other time.
The perspiration that starts with the
first warm days intensifies the smart
ing, burning sensation, and makes the
trouble almost unbearable. There is
only one way to relieve them, and
that is through the blood. which must
be thoroughly cleansed and purified.
There is only one remedy that you can
rely upon to do this, and that is S. s.

land BILL FOES

"Plums" Inserted for Home
Towns Will Prevent
Fight.
BY ANDREW r.. KELLEY.

Favorable action during the present
session OF Congress was prophesied by
proponents Of the So, ,00o, 900 bill reported
by the House Committee on Public Build
ings and Lands yesterday.
Anticipating that widespread criticism
OF the measure, which provides public
buildings and improvements for all sec
tons of the country, may be expected
from those who feel that such approprla-
tons constitute pork barrel" legislation,
Chairman Clark. OF the House Commit
tee, hled with the report q statement ex-
planning briefly the method by which
the committee arrived at the conclusions
which placed important items in the bill
The District is recognized to the e1-
tent of nearly 100000 for appropriations
which will provide new home for the
Department Of Justice, and an up-to-date
armory for the District National Guard.
Cnoficially 1t was learned that President
wilson was one OF those who strongly
urged the inclusion of the latter item.
More than one-third Of the amount
authorized in the bill goes to FIVE large
cities which the Democratic party has
more than perfunctory interest in see
ing roll up a healthy majority for the
present administration in the forthcom-
ing election. These cities are Chicago,
with gets over s4.oo0ooo; Detroit, with
iAicAS NAoi S4rVVVISOy1 DOslCU, WIN nearly
100000; Philadelphia with almost a mil
lion and Pittsburgh. which is substanti-
ally remembered. Maine gets about all
that the Democratic leaders desired in
the matter Of appropriations for new
postoffices and other government build
ings.
Representative Ashbrook, Of Ohio, and
Senator Kenyon. Of Iowa. who are count
ed among the strongest opponents Of the
measure, are recognized by appropria.
tions for their districts that make i,
politically embarrassing for them to op-
pose the measure.
Ripon. Wis, the only town which of.
fered to forego any consideration that It's
political friends might offer. gets $500
for a public building. an amount they
urged be given to advance the cause OF
preparedness.
Among the more drastic items in the
bill Is that which provides for the abol-
ishment Of the otice Of Supervising
Architect OF the Treasury-the official
who directs the expenditures for public
buildings and grounds. In its place the
bill proposes a separate government bu.
eau known as the bureau Of public
buildings, headed by a commissioner
Delay and inerficiency in the office Of the
supervising architect are understood tc
be the basis for the Congressional dis,
satisfaction which would abolish the bu.
reau
The committee has apparently made ar
attempt to give some recognition to al
most every section Of the country anc
is so drawn that opponents Of the meas
ures will find difficulty in getting sup
port in their fight against the measure.
Both on the Senate side and the House
a strong effort will be made to have the
bill enacted into law before the adjourn
ment Of the present session, as its pro
ponents are confident that President vii
son will sign the measure when it reaches
his desk
