Introduction of the resolution was

while a vote on suffrage might be

Must | Continue to Suffer from the
Fiery Itching?

This is indeed the burning ques-
ton with those who are the victims
of itching, burning fiery irritations
that break out all over the skin,
causing its victim to itch and
scratch with almost constant tor
ture. Going from bad to worse,
with only a temporary lull in the
suffering. you have about reached
the conclusion that you are doomed
to have this terrifying disease as
your life companion.
If you have followed the usual
course of treatment. you have
doubtless used lotions. ointments,
salves and washes abundantly, in
an effort to get some sort of relief
from your torture. Probably you
have received temporary relief
from the fiery itching by the use Of
local treatment. but your expe-
rience will be like that of thousands
of others who have found that such
treatment does not reach the cause
of the disease, and cannot for this
reason make any progress toward
a cure.
While it is true that the visible
location of this trouble is ap-
parently on the skin. you must look
deeper for its origin. and until you
locate its starting point. and direct
your treatment there. you will con-
tinue to suffer.
The skin is fed from the blood,
and upon the condition of the blood
depends whether or not your
skin will be healthy and free from
boils. pimpless scaly irritations. red

EMILY KNOWLES
TO WED TODAY
Guy Spiker at Battersby
Home Preparing for
Ceremony.

Fall River, Mass. Feb. THE we'd
ding of Guy S. Spiker and Miss Emily
Knowles. English war bride" OF Per-
ley r. Spiker. father OF Miss Knowles
5-months-old baby. will probably take
place tomorrow at 10 o'clock. it was
learned tonight.
Guy Spiker arrived here today and
went immediately to the residence OF
Mrs. William Battersby. where Miss
Knowles has been staying. He refused
to meet newspaper men. No word
could be obtained from the Battersby
residence regarding plans for the we'd
ding.
1t was learned, however, that Spiker
held telephone conversation with AS
sistant City Clerk Joseph F. Delahanty
pertaining to the marriage license and
wedding. Delahanty declared that
Spiker and Miss Knowles would call
at his house at 10 o'clock tomorrow
for the marriage license. Il presume
1 will marry them" Delahanty said.
Mrs. Cora Spiker, wife OF the father
OF Miss Knowles child. did not &C.
company Guy Spiker on his return
trip from Baltimore owing to a slight
illness resulting from the strain she
has been under for the past few weeks
Miss Knowles earlier in the day
admitted that she had worn a we'd
ding ring on the steamer coming
from England. She declared she
wore it to prevent people from ask
ing embarrassing questions.
"I did wear a wedding ring when
I went aboard the Lapland at
Southampton" Miss Knowles said.
IT wore it during the voyage across
the ocean because its absence and
the presence of my baby might have
caused embarrassing questioning
and speculation on the part of the
other passengers. I bought the ring
myself"
Miss Knowles declared she be-
lieved that the wedding ring has
been the cause of all the reports
that have been circulated that she
was already married to Perley
Spiker.
After their marriage Guy Spiker
and Miss Knowles will leave imme-
diately for Baltimore. where they
will live in the same. house with
Mr.. and Mrs. Perley r. Spiker.

OH, FIERY SKIN DISEASES
IS THERE NO RELIEF? ?

eruptions and other dis6guring and
unsightly disorders. So that when
ever your skin breaks out with any
of these conditions. you will save
yourself much annoyance and the
pain that comes from the fiery
itching. if you will realize from the
outset that to treat this condition
intelligently. you must first cleanse
the blood of the millions of tiny
germs that cause the trouble.
This Of course means that you
will get no permanent good from
the use Of local treatment applied
to the surface of the skin, because
it is impossible to reach the blood
in this way.
The sensible treatment that will
show real results is a remedy that
will cleanse the blood thoroughly
and kill the germs that cause the
trouble. And for this purpose no
remedy ever made can approach
the record of S. S. S.. the fine cd
6fty-year old blood medicine. This
medicine is purely vegetable. being
made of the juices of roots and
herbs gathered direct from the
forests. the medicinal value of
which is recognized by the medical
profession everywhere. 1t cleanses
the blood of the disease germs, at
the same time building up the gen.
eral health. S. S. S. is sold by
all druggists. and is probably the
most popular family medicine which
they carry. If you want permanent
results. this is the medicine you
should take.
lfyour own case needs special
medical advice. you can obtain
same without cost if you will write
to Chief Medical Adviser. $50
