YOUR SKIN
DISEASE IS
A WARNING

by pastules, from which flows a
fluid that dries and forms a crust,
and the itching is intense. 1t is
generally on the back, breast, face,
arms and legs.
In letter, the skin dries, cracks
and bleeds; the acid in the blood
dries up the natural oil of the skin,
causing dry, feverish condition.
Acne makes its appearance on
the face in the form of pimples
and blackheads, while Psoriasis
comes in scaly patches on different
parts ofthe body.
The safest way to handle any
skin disease is to first purify the
blood with S. S. S. and put it in
condition to do its work properly.
S. S. S. removes the humor from
the blood so the skin, instead of
being irritated and diseased, is
nourished by a supply of fresh,
healthy blood. External applica-
tons of salves, washes, lotions,
etc, while they are generally need
ed to use locally in order to
soothe the itching and pain, caused
by skin affections, cannot per-
manently cure the trouble because
they do not reach the blood.
S. S. S. goes down into the cir
culation and forces out the foreign
matter and restores the blood to
its normal, healthy condition, en-
abling it thereby to relieve the
skin affection. S. S. S. is guar
anteed purely vegetable and is for
sale at all drug stores. Don't take
substitute. There is nothing
Just as good"

II Positively Indicates Your
Blood Needs Purifying

When you see a person with
clear skin, flushed with the color
OF. perfect health, you will notice
that the skin is smooth and free
from blemishes. There are no
pimples, splotches, humors. 1t
will be true of the face and true
OF the body. 1t is a sure indica-
ton that rich red blood is cours-
ing through the veins. 1t means
that the blood is full Of red cor
puscles- 1t would be able to
throw off minor ailments imme-
diately, and be in much better
shape to successfully combat any
Of the more serious and stubborn
diseases, which we are all liable
to.
For the same reason that
healthy, clear skin is .an indica-
hon of strong pure blood, blotchy
and pimply skin is an indication
Of disordered condition of the
blood.
Improper eating and drinking,
intenperate habits, or unwise
treatment of simple infections,
rause the blood to deteriorate,
producing effete matter which acts
IS poisons and the circulation
tarries these poisons to the vari-
ous tissues, especially the. skin.
Then the blood begins to throw
Dff the humors and acids through
ihet pores and glands of the skin,
producing Eczema, Acne, letter,
Psoriasis, Salt Rheum and other
skin eruptions of various kinds.
Eczqnz usually appears with a

arrive from Boston Monday morning
1t was stated at the Food Admins
tration yesterday that this price will
be much lower than the Is cents
charged for the same fish in the local
markets
This action Of the local administra-
ton was the result Of complaints
against the exorbitant prices being
charged for fish by the local mer-
chants. 1t is stated that the fish
could be sold for about half the pres
ent price and still allow a fair profit
While the power given the local ad-
ministration is limited. 1t may result
in similar power to control excess

in the future.
Whether the low price to be placed
on this shipment of fish will affect
the entire local fish market cannot be
stated at the present time. 1t is
hoped, however, that this will be the
result.

1t was further stated that the

friendly attitude of the United States
and its disposition to take no part.
In addition Japan understands the
United States credits her with disin-

should be taken
At the same time, it is understood,
Japan understands the United States
is giving thought to the moral effect
in Russia of such action and would
feel that the absolute necessity
should be apparent before it is TAX
en-. These views have been expressed
to Great Britain which as an inter
mediary advised the United States Of

EVACUATION
OFPETROCRAD
HAS STARTED
SAY REPORTS
Moscow Will Be Capital Of
Bolshevik Government and
Petrograd Will Be Made
Free Port.
FIGHTING IS CONTINUED

LONDON, March 6.-An official Rus
sian statement received here says En-
sign Krylenko. the BoIsheviki COM
mander in chief has sent message to
the German and Austrian chief CON-
manders stating that the Germans and
Austrians are still fighting notwith-
standing the conclusion of peace. En-
sign krylenko asked whether the Ger
man high command has taken all steps
necessary for cessation of hostilities.
(By Associated Press)
Petrograd is being evacuated by the
Bolsheviki government. Moscow. the
ancient capital, is to again become the
seat OF the Russian government, while
Petrograd is to be mare a free port
The population of Petrograd is leav-
ing it hurridly and various depart
ments are removing further inland
away from the German invader. Boil
sheviki councils In Moscow and the
provinces are said to be more opposed
to the Germans and a separate peace
than those in Petrograd
Refuse Peace Treaty
Previous reports that the hard terms
of the German peace treaty which
take from Russia thousands of square
miles in Europe and Asia, would not
be accepted by the all-Russian con-
gress Of workmen's and soldiers dele
gates, indicated also that the non
peace elements In the Bolsheviki ranks
were gaining the upper hand.
Evacuation of Petrograd was men,
toned as one Of the measures the
war party proposed.
Refusal of the peace treaty by the
congress when It meets at Moscow
next week probably will cause the
downfall of Lenine and Trotzky, if
they do not resign beforehand. A sec
tion Of the Bolsheviki is said to lean
toward the social revolutionists of the
Left. who have been opposed to the
Lenine regime and inclined to be
friendly to the entente allies. although
favorable to an immediate general
peace.
Apparently, Germany unwittingly
played into the hands OF the aIlRus-
sian congress by granting respite be-
fore the treaty should be ratified. Re
ports from Petrograd indicate that the
congress and allied organizations will
use the intervening days in recruiting
an army and preparing for defence
against the Germans.
American Consul Tredwell has re-
turned to Petrograd along with Ray
mond Robins, head Of the permanent
Red Cross Commission to Russia Re-
moval of the government to Moscow
probably will compel them to go there
also.
On the fighting fronts In France and
Italy, there has been little activity, ex-
cept by the artillery. There have been
no further details of the American
repulse Of an enemy attack in Lor-
raine
