A healthy, attractive skin
is practically within reach of
every woman, but it cannot
be obtained from the use of
cosmetics or so-called skin
foods. First of all, it must
be realized that the condition
of the skin depends upon the
condition of the blood. and no
one can have a clear, rudy,
healthy skin unless the blood
is robust and healthy and
free from all impurities.
Pimples and blotches on
the face or other parts of
the body are not only a
source of embarrassment, but
they are also a warning from
nature that should be
promptly needed. They indi-
cate that the system needs a
house-cleaning-that foreign
substance has crept into the
blood to interfere with its
perfect performance, and
that a serious clogging up of
the tissues and skin pores
will result unless the proper
treatment is resorted to. And
this naturally leads to the
query: What is the proper
method of treating diseases
Of the skin 2" A very COM
mon mistake is to rely upon

But eczema, letter, pim-

liar 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 terrifying itching until
you realize that their cause
must be reached and elimi-
mated.
So the answer is: seek
the cause and remove it,"
The real source of all skin
disorders being in the blood.
the proper treatment must be
thru the blood. Rout out of
the circulation the disease
germs. and your skin will
clear UP and become normal

being used with uniform sat-
isfaction is S.S.S., the fine
old purely vegetable blood

market for more than half

MADISON MAN CRUSHED :"
TO DEATH BY SEPARATOR

Elmer Nash, son of the late Tom
Nash. was instantly killed by being
crushed between a threshing separator
and tractor last Saturday forenoon
and Austin Anderson, who was working
with Mr.. Nash on the rig, barely escap-
ed the same fate at the same time.
Messrs. Nash and Anderson were
threshing the former Pearsal farm north
of the village of Lac qui Parle and were
engaged in moving the rig. Elmer Nash
was seated on the tractor and was back
ing it to the separator, while Mr.. And
erson was at the separator to do the
coupling. Mr.. Nash did not notice the
feeder which was hanging from the sep
arator. and as he was having trouble
with the clutch he lost control of the
machine to such an extent that he back
ed further than he intended and the end
Of the feeder struck him in the back of
the neck with such force that the life
was crushed out of him instantly. BY
rare presence of mind Mr.. Anderson
managed to get out of the way of the
| machine, but eye witnesses declare that
his escape was miraculous.
Mr.. Nash was tenant on Mrs. j. K.
Johnson's farm in Cerro Gordo, %and as
he lost his crop by hail he decided to
run the threshing rig for his brother
during the fall months.
He was thirty-eight years old and is
survived by his wife and five small chill
