Skin Without B|e1niSh
Is Every WOnnan'S Wish

mistake is to rely upon local RENE
dies, such as lotions. salvcs, oint-
ments, and other applications to
the surface of the skin.
But eczema, tetter, pimples, skin
eruptions and similar disorders that
cause so much discomfort, are not
merely a surface condition; their
cause lies deeper, and you will
never be entirely rid of the terrify-
ing itching until you realize that
their cause must be reached and
eliminated.
So the answer is: Seek the
cause and remove it" The real
source of all skin disorders be-
ing in the blood. the proper treat
ment must be through the blood.
Rout out of the circulation the
disease germs, and your skin will
clear up and become normal and
healthy.
The one remedy that is being
used with uniform satisfaction is
S:S.S. the fine old purely vegetable
blood medicine that has been on
the market for more than half a
century. This splendid remedy
builds up the blood supply by re-
moving from it any impurities, and
gives excellent results in all cases
of skin disorders.

Legion Convention in Ohio
Tomorrow to Sound Neu
Note of National Loyalty

When the gavel falls tomorrow
morning for the Second National
Convention of the American Legion
at Cleveland, Ohio, efforts will be
launched to arouse the whole coun-
try with that spirit of American
ism" for which the Legion stands.
Since the convention in Minneap-
oils in November, 1919, legislation
having a direct bearing upon the
country as a whole has been en-
acted. Part of the Legion's legisla-
tive efforts have been fully accom-
plished and some only partially so.
Some is pending at the present time.
Appropriation Raised.
The passing of the Sweet bill in
creasing the appropriation to dis
abled men $4,000, 900 a year, and
providing specifically for an increase
of from $50 to $50 a month, is one
of the most important bills which
the Legion succeeded in making a
law. Several bills covering adjusted
compensation which were introduced
are pending. Whether this conven-
tion will take any action on compen-
sation cannot yet be stated. Other
important planks in the Legion's
platform are the revision of the i'm
migration policy Of the United States
with reference to the exclusion Of
the Japanese from this country and
the adoption of universal military
training. The report of the Legion's
national legislative committee to
this convention mentions also the
publication by the Secretary of War
of the list of 100000 slackers. The
Legion has severely criticized the
Secretary OF War for not making
this list public.
Meaning of Americanism.

Americanism, as interpreted by
the Legion, embodies the above
points and also those minor ones
set forth in the report of the LegIs-
lative Committee.

nections possible between the pro
ducer and consumer. That many
visitors making large expenditures
come into the state with good high
ways. That permanent construct
ion is cheaper in the long run than
constant repairs. That the pay
ment of principal would be so ar
ranged as to fall lightly upon the
average taxpayer.
Arguments against: That the
time is not yet ripe for such large
expenditure That smaller sums
would be better spent annually
than to go into debt.

No. 5-rhe Tunnel Bills.

An initiated bill proposing three
railroad tunnels, one under James
Peak on the Moffat road, one under
Marshall Pass and one under Cum
bres Pass on the Rio Grande. The
cost is estimated at $16.000,000 for
the three tunnels: to be paid for in
bonds of the state of Colorado bear
ing ~ per cent interest; to be
built under the direction of the
state railway commission appoint
ed in 1915.
Arguments for: That the great
of the Northwest and Southwest of
Colorado is greatly retarded by in
adequate railway facilities. That
new empire will be opened for
the sale of Colorado products. That
the residents of these sections are
entitled to better railway facilities.
That the snow blorkades in the
winter greatly increase the cost of
transportation and subject the peo
pie to long and vexatiOus delays.
That a through line from coast to
coast will greatly benefit Colorado.
Arguments against: That the
cost will not stop at $l6,0O0.0O0 but
will be much greater. That the
state will be thrust into the rail
road business for many years to
come. That such subsidy is I'M
wise and sectional. That it will
not stop with tunnels but will take
in the railways themselves. That
no railway will be found to glaran-
tee the interest on the bonds and
that the tunnels will be operated
by the state indefinitely.

Arguments for: That the present
salaries of these officers were fixed
40 years ago when living was one
half what it is now. That payment
should be commensurate with the
dignity and responsibility of the
office. That judges of the courts
should be given salaries, equiva-
lent to the average income of mem
bers of the bar, who are qualified
TO hold such positions.
Arguments against: That the
honor of the office makes the mat
ter of salary secondary considera-
ton That these officials are al
