here is a Way to Get Rid of
the Torturous Suffering.

You cannot boil water by ap-
plying the heat to the top of the
vessel. You may possibly. after
SO long a time. succeed in making
the water lukewarm. but it will
never get hot enough to boil.

Disorders which origi-
nate in the blood can be
reached only through the =
blood, and no amount of
local treatment applied to
the surface can be ex- :
pected to do any real =
good.
= s %'% s. = , - = = = = \ = = =
The same principle applies to
the attempt to get rid of skin
diseases by local applications of
salves, ointments. lotions, wash
es. etc, remedies applied to the
surface of the skin, which can
have no real corrective effect
whatever upon the disease. Wa
ter cannot be boiled until every
atom has been thoroughly satu-
rated with intense heat. which
can be accomplished only by APP
plying it in the proper way.
SO, also. there IS a proper way
to successfully treat and get rid
of diseases of the skin. and that
is by getting in behind the mil
lions of tiny germs that cause
the disorders, and eliminate
them from the blood. thus going
direct to the source of the trou-
bic. and attacking them at the
starting point
Those who rely upon local
treatment such as ointments,
salves. lotions. washes. etc,
which are applied to the surface
of the skin. will never be free
from agonizing diseases, be-
cause they are going about the
treatment just backwards. They
are treating the results of the
disorder. and not the disease it
self. They are attempting to
boil water by applying the heat
in the wrong place.
These terrifying skin irrita-
lions, eczema, letter. boils,
pimPles. etc. have their origin

The republicans estimated that
approximately S4OO.OOO.OO0 I'm the
cost Of the original measure has
been eliminated and that the remod-

Lenditure OF S1.4O0,00O,0 200. Taxes

include the increase on incomes. to-

Chairman Fordney, OF the COM
mittee, said Monday night that the
new bill would remove much Of the
opposition in republican ranks re-
sulting from the original proposal
to raise some Of the revenues
through a sales tax. The new meas
ure will be offered 10 the house as
a compromise and Mr.. Fordney said

Why Itch and Burn
With Skin Diseases?

blood. They come from a col
ony OF tiny germs which get into
the blood and multiply by the
million. Although commonly
called skin disease" because
they set up the visible evidence
of their disturbance on the sur
face of the skin, all successful
treatment must come through
the blood. This makes it clear
why you cannot expect any real
substantial relief from local rem
edies applied to the surface OF
the skin.
There is no danger of ever
being afflicted with skin diseases
as long as the blood is in perfect
condition. 1t is only logical,
therefore, that the proper treat
ment for pimples. blotches.
sores, boils. rough red scaly
skin is to purify the blood Of the
tiny germs that cause these dis
orders.
When any Of these symptoms
appear on any part of your
body. you should take prompt
steps to rid the blood of the
germs which cause them. And
the one remedy which has no
equal as a blood cleanser is
S. S. S. the purely vegetable
blood remedy which has been
on the market for more than
fifty years. S. S. S. is sold by
druggists everywhere.
Do not expect to be cured OF
any form of skin disease by the
use of lotions, salves, ointments
or other local treatment, as such
remedies cannot possibly reach
the source of the trouble, which
is the blood.

much protection as If they had been
established in Pennsylvania or Cali

clared that the attitude OF the
United States toward Mexico has
been one Of accommodating shame for
seven years"
Much Graft"
Mexican commercial and official
life was sustained with graft from
the lowest tally clerk 20 the highest
cabinet officer" Mr. Chamberlain
said and only "A policy Of economic
control OF the country by the United
States would re-estdblish stability.

said "cut the ground out from un-

commercial agent the United states
had IN Mexico" by repeated state
ments that force would never be
used IN the country.

added els that the United States

SLEEPER WOULD
EXPOSE PROFITEERS
May Call Special Session of
Legislature to Deal
With Rent Case.

LANSING. Mich. May 11.-Gov.
Albert E. Sleeper. Tuesday morning
said he would not state what action
he will take in request of the De-
troit council for a special legisla-
tive session TO deal with the rent
profiteering question until he re-
Ceives the request.
He talked some on the general
subject OF prOfiteering however, de-
claring that troubles are largely due
TO supply and demand. He also said:
The governor and the legislature
should both be careful because any
law which they pass for Detroit
will be for the whole state. If they
make the rate OF return too small
men will invest their money in other
things and then conditions will be
worse. The need now Is Cor more
houses. Take John Jones, he is
working in a factory for IS or SO
day He brings his family 10 Detroit
and can't find a house. Then he goes
to a real estate man and say he will
nav $40 more for a certain house
than the man who is living there.
That means that fellow Is on the
street with his family. He has a diff
ficult time In finding a place and he
is willing 10 pay a bonus, maybe
$40. That makes rents higher.
The best thing is for the officials
down there and for the newspapers
TO expose these profiteers. If they
will go right after It, that will help.
But there is a shortage of houses
More will have to be built"
