DERIVING cause Of all complexion
faults.
From the beginning one thing
was clear:
Dust and SCOT, lack of exercise,
harsh, dry winds, the thousand
and one little evils of daily life,
each in itself perhaps unimpor-
fanfare, combined, the one
fundamental cause of all skin
blcmishcs and faults.
No one can change these con-
ditions. Yet if the skin is to have
the clear, radiant glow of health,
there must be PIT back into it the
clements that daily life is stealing
from it.
To stimulate the flow of blood
to soften the skin and keep it
supple to cleanse the pores of
dust and germs-this was the
physicians problem.
At last he achieved it-not in
a complicated drug, but in sim.
pie prescription that had within
1.-THE vital elements everynormal
skin needs.
Today you, foo, can have this
remarkable prescription

FREE LEGAL ADVICE
 GIVEN IN NEW HAVEN
Claw Clinic' for Persons of Limited Means to
 Be Tried

New Haven, Oct. 16.-Legal ad- vice for persons whose means are limited, and who have grievances which might require adjustment in a court of law, given through "clinic" is an experiment to be tried out in this city, beginning next week. It has been advocated by City At tornoy Whitaker and will be opened through assistance of the members of the senior class in the Yale law school. Miss Dorothy Luddington, daughter of pr. and Mrs. Nelson Luddington, who Is member of the class, will preside over the "clinlc' next week.
 Persons needing legal advice and who cannot pay for the same may tell their troubles .to~the law stu dents who serve in the clinic and the applicant will be advised as to the merits of his or her grievance and as to whether 1t would be better to try for mutual settlement than to try to settle 1t In court. No cases will be tried out in form, that is by trying to get the other side of a grievance described in order to bring about an adjustment as the "clinic' will simply serve as medium of an airing of the grievance and any getting together for a settlement" will have to be done outside.

s. M. DAVIDSON GIVES
 $I,0OO TO MRS. SHELLY
Store Proprietor Also Ex- presses Regret After
 Shooting of Veteran

Samuel M. Davidson. of the firm of Davidson & Leventhal. owners of the store In which Policeman James Skelly met his death Sunday morn- ing when he went there with other police to investigate a report that there were burglars at the store, presented Chief William c. Hart this morning with check for $1,000, with request that it be rendered to the widow of the police- man with the sincerest sympathy of the firm.
 MT. Davidson called Chief Hart to the store this morning and in the name of the firm, presented him the check for the widow. The for mer police commissioner said that he felt unable to face the wife of the veteran and beloved policeman who met his death while in the performance of his duty.
 T would rather that the burglars had taken the store and all that was in 1t rather than to have Policeman Skelly meet his death in protecting it," MT. Davidson told Chief Hart, "and l am sorry now that I called the police at all, for if I hadn't, the policeman would still be alive, performing his duty in the honest, fearless and quiet manner for which he was noted"
 In announcing the receipt of the check from the Davidson & Leven- thai company, Chief Hart called at tention to an apparent injustice that exists in the provisions of the city ordinances regarding pensions, and the need for an immediate change so that the widow of the policeman will not suffer as a result of his death in the discharge of his duty.
 An agitation is being started to have the city make allowances for granting the widow or dependents of policemen killed in the perform ance of their duty pension of half pay during the rest of their life, and also to pass resolution appro- priating money to cover the amount of these payments to the widow of Policeman Skelly until such an ordinance has become effective.
