MEXICO SILENT
UPON PROTEST
State Department Believes
Carranza Trying to Nego-
tiate with Villa.

The Mexican government. II IL un-
derstood here yesterday. has not
been able yet to answer the pro-
tests of the State Department
against the. arrest of James 4.
whetten and the demands for $4,000
ransom from the Warren Company
whose workmen are held under
threat of death at the company's
ranch. Ojitos. Chihuahua.
The explanation Is ffered here
that although the protests W. e
sent some days ago CarranDa' s
agents have found 1t difYicult IL not
dangerous to get in touch with the
yillista forces.
The latest news from there has
been that the workmen. having been
threatened with death and the de-
struction of the ranch, were en-
deavoring to raise the money to, Sc
cure their freedom.
1t is stated here that II the War
rem ranch is being held by 400 of
Villas soldiers Carranza cannot help
the situation except by entering into
diplomatic negotiations with the
bandits or sending to Ojitos a suf-
ficient force to relieve the beieagu-
cred workmen.

YOUR SKIN IS
YOUR PASSPORT

only for their ability to keep the
skin clean, allay superficial irrita-
ton. or soften the hardened cuti-
Gle. Such treatment cannot cure
because It does not reach the blood
where the cause is located, and to
depend upon such measures alone
usually results in the aggravation
and spreading of any skin trouble.
A clear. healthy skin is neces-
sary to make you attractive, able
to enjoy the report of your mirror
and to face the world undaunted
by its criticism. But the eruptions
or any other evidence of skin dis
case is not only continuous torture
and discomfort to yourself. but dis
gusts and repels friends and
strangers alike.
Your only hope for permanent
relief is a real blood remedy-one
which will reach obstinate and
deep-seated diseases.
Nature has an antidote for every
bane and has hidden away in cer-
tain plants medicinal agents that
purify and enrich the blood and
restores its power to nourisb and
keep all parts of the body healthy.
Years ago scientific workers in
the S. S. S. Laboratories discov-
cred and perfected combination
Of natures remedies in the form
of S. S. S.. which is guaranteed to
be purely vegetable. containing no
potash, arsenic, mercury or min
eral drugs of any description. but
Natures own remedy and not a
drpg shop preparation.
Why continue to suffer? When
yop can easily prove the value of
S. S. S. by getting a bottle from
your druggist at once and you will
begin to notice the blood restor-
ing powers of this great old rem
edy and rid yourself of the annoy
ing and dangerous skin sicknesses.
If yours is a special case, write
to our Chief Medical Adviser. who
will give you full instructions about
your own case. Address l55 Swift

Receives Ih Necessary Nourish-
mest Through the
Blood.

Nature has made ample pro-
vision in the sunshine and mos
ture of the air for the outward life
and protection of the skin. but the
more important work of nourishins
the cuticle has been left to an in
ward source-the blood. 1t is from
the circulation that the pores and
glands receive their support. and
the hbrous tissues are all preserved
In a healthful state because of
constant nourishment supplied by
the blood.
So long as the blood is pure and
rieh. the skin will be free from
eruptons or disease, but when the
circulation becomes infected with
acids and humors its nourishing
and healthful properties are great
" diminished. and this acrid,
humor-laden condition causes irri-
tation and inflammation Of the
delicate tissues and hbres. Then
the effect is shown in Eczema,
Acne. letter. Salt Rheum. Boils,
Pimples. or some other distressing.
dishsurins skin disease.
Humors and impurities get into
the blood through a deranged or
inactive condition of the system.
Those members whose 6lty it is to
collect and .xpel the refuse mat
ter Of the system fail to properly
do their work. and this surplus or
waste matter is left in the system
to sour. and be absorbed into the
blood.
The cause of all skin diseases
can be traced to some humor or
acid In the blood. Smooth. healthy
skins are only possible where the
circulation is pure; and therefore
the cure of any skin affection can
only come from a thorough cleans
ing Of this vital fluid. SaIyes,
washes, lotions. ETC., are valuable

For Over Two Months

Mrs. Lily Middleton, of 1449 V street
southeast, is renewing efforts to find
her pretty 1S-year-old daughter,
Louise, who disappeared more than
two months ago, and of whom nothing
has been heard since.
Although the Washington police
have been vigilant in their search for
her here, working on a theory that
the girl had taken residence with "a
strange woman she had mentioned
frequently TO her mother, they have
not been able to find any trace of her.
The girl was known to be ambitious

KNOW YOUR STATE.

Atl3nta Constitution: Georgia to-
day." says, the Albany (Ga,) Herald,
SIS fairly humming!"
For "it is the most remarkable
period of developing in the states
history
Development on all industrial lines,
for the reason that
"Industrially, her people are more
aggressive than they have ever been
and in spite of the high cost ON ma
chinery and construction, manufac-
turing and industrial plants, power
plants, business blocks improved
roads and bridges, waterworks and
sewerage extension, municipal paw
ing projects, etc, are demanding the
full man power resources of the
state"
And the point made by the Albany
Herald is that those who may not be
keeping pace with this steady deve-
lopment don't know their state!
Therefore, knew your state, and
be in constant, working touch with
all that goes to make and keep it
great.
That's the patriotic progressive
home spirit--the spirit of splendid
present service, which is the basis
Of business faith in the future.
That faith is that astonishing
developments will be shown in Geor-
gia during the next few
For the daily trend of business ac-
tivity is in that direction: Greater
things than we have ever know are
in sight in the way Of big business
Know your state and advertise it's
unlimited resources and possibilities
wherever there is opportunity to do
so

UNEMPLOYMENT PROBLEM

Six months ago the unemployment
problem lomed larger than the cos
Of Living problem today. Within eight
months more than 100000 ren il
camp and overseas have been relieY
ed from military service and return
ed TO civil life. And there is no doubt
of the recovery of business to such
an extent as to absorb a great army
of potential producers temporarily
withdrawn from industrial and com.
mercial activities Ut Is an achieve
ment which gives encouragement to
the hope that other problems will 'be
as speedily solved.
One of the chief economic difficult
ties abroad has been the comparative
slowness with which the men release
ed from military service have return
ed to peaceful pursuits. In England
the government is still paying enor-
nous sums on account OF unemploy-
ment of discharged soldiers. After
four years Of fighting the authorities
seem to be impressed with the feeling
that the former service men are en-
titled to holiday, and celebrations
and fetes galore are being INDUCED

FINANCING FOREIGN TRADE

, FINANCING FOREIGN TRADE
great deal has been said and
written during the past few months
concerning the necessity for co-opera,
tion on the part of the American pub,
lie for the purpose of financing our
foreign trade, but without any Or
ganized effort in the way of furnish
ing credits the country in June, the
last officially reported month, sold
$2,OOOOOO,OOO more merchandise to
foreign consumers than ever before
in a single month of record. While
il is true that the seller must do his
part in furnishing credits, it is like
wise true that obligations rest upon
the buyer From The latest reports
Belgium seems to have made most
progress in a comprehensive plan for
facturers of that country in need of
raw and semi-finished materials
which are produced in the United
States have organized cooperative
purchasing bureau, with the assist
ance of the Belgian Ministry of Re
construction, and these associations
are divided into Is groups, which in
turn are federated under the Central
Industrial Committee of Belgium.
The object is to pool purchases
abroad and to distribute imported
imported meterials to the members
of he respective groups proportion
ed to their needs. The plan should
simplify selling as well as buying.
inasmuch as it would be easier for
American eporters to investigate
and deal with a bureau representing
particular industry than to deal
with individual manufacturers
Various plans have been under con
sideration in this country for fanan-
cling the credits it will be Necessary
for our producers to extend to for
eign consumers, 1t would be manifest
ly impossible for any save the strong
est financial corporations to com
mand the capital necessary to pro-
duce and ship commodities which
must be sold on long time. The plan
which has received most favor is for
the organization of central body
representative of the banking and
industrial interests of the country,
which shall be a sort of holding COM
pany for the evidences Of debts given
by foreign buyers, and which in turn
shall issue its own securities for
subscription by the general public.
If this plan is worked out and adopts
ed it will accomplish two things; the
examination and approval of credits
would be in the hands of internation-
al experts and the liability throueh
investment in securities would be SO
widely distributed as to ciuse the
minimum adverse effect in the event
of occasional defaults in final settle
ments. In the meantime. however.
the heavier burden is on The foreign
consumer.
