charges watery fluid, forming
sores and producing intense itch

These and other skin diseases
are due to the same thing
burning acids and humors in the
blood. and until this vital fluid is
cleansed and made pure they will
continue. External applications of
salves and lotions cannot reach
the trouble for it is in the blood.
The best treatment for all skin
diseases is S. S. S.. remedy that
is purely vegetable. being made
entirely from roots, herbs and
barks, and acts directly on the
blood with a cleansing, healing
effect. 1t neutralizes the acids
and purifies the blood so that the
skin. instead of being blistered and
burned by the fiery fluids, is nour-
ished by supply of cooling,
healthy blood. 1t goes down into
the circulation and forces out
waste or foreign matter, builds
up the blood and relieves skin
diseases. SIS. S. so cleanses the
blood that there is little danger of
future outbreaks. as it rids the,
blood of the cause Of skin diseases.

United States Shipping Board and

Corporation. last night announced
that a temporary halt had been called

There will DC a number of Phiia-
delphians who will not desire to come
to Washington" said Mr.. Payne, "and
the positions which these people va
cate will be taken by employees of the
Board who were let out yesterday.
I'VE have just reached the deci-
sion to make no further plans for

Controllers Office has already
moved. Plans had been carried
that far when we heard from
the District health department and
1t was then too late TO cali a halt"
DR.. Fowler reiterated last night
his objections to the bringing of a
large number of extra people into
the city now.

clared, "and the influenza epi-

Burglars Carry Aacay
400 Pound Safe in Auto

Industrious and enterprising burglars
broke into Liggett drug store at
1873 East Fourteenth Street early yes
ter morning.
They sawed the bars Of a steel door
to get into boiler room; then cut a
hole, about four feet in diameter,
through three-Yoot wall. This gave
them access to the main office Of the
store, where they found a 4oo-pound
safe. containing between $1,000 and
$4,000. the Liggett officials say.
Realizing that to open the safe there
would take time and might attract at
tention, the burglars removed IL
through the same hole which had af-
forded them an entrance, carried it to
q rear lot and there loaded it on an
automobile.
They then proceeded to an isolated
district Of Astoria, near Flushing Ave
nue. and Old Bowery Bay Road, where
they cracked the safe at their leisure,
removed the negotiable currency and
went on their way.
Henry Damn, Of 543 Tenth Avenue,
Long Island City, out for a stroll
through wooded country. came upon
the wrecked safe. Beside 1t were
sledge hammer and a jimmy. The in
ner and outer door Of the safe lay open
Papers were scattered about, but there
was no loose change in evidence. There
were automobile tracks leading from
the road to the spot where the safe
was found.
Police carted the empty safe TO the
Astoria station.

their freight car movement" says a re-
port Of the road, at would be equiv
alent to adding $4,000 cars, or 80 per
cent to railroad equipment. In 1919
the average daily mileage of freight
cars was for all roads PSI miles, and
the total ton mileage was, in round
figures, $4,000 100000. The thirty
mile car average would raise the total
ton mileage Of freight hauled from
395 100000, 900 to about 513, 5000, 600, 900.
The loaded car record shows that
the New York Central lines during the
