ECz EMA
You will be compelled to admit that the results of
 S.S.S.arereaIIy IIyamazIng!

MANY people imagine that ec- MI zema or letter needs only some external application on the skin in order to get relief. This is becausA the attention of the suf- Ierer is so violently directed to the intense burning and itching which accompanies this disease. Try as they may-permanent relief will never be theirs until the disease laden blood is thoroughly cleansed.
 We know there is one thing that stops eczema and that is more red blood-cells! S.S.S. builds them by the million! You can increase your red.blood-cells to the point where 1t is practically impossible for ec' zema to exist. We know that as bIood.cells increase in number blood impurities vanish! We also know that night follows day. Both are facts! But have you, eczema sufferers, ever actually taken ad. vantage of this wonderful fact? Thousands just like you have never thought about it. Skin eruptions, eczema, with all its fiery, skin dig, RlnR LOrLur6y duU ALD SOuHb0oA AA6P unreachable itching, pimp pless blackheads and boils, they all pack up and go, when the tide of blood cells begins to roll in! Blood-cells are the fighting giants of Nature! S.S.S. builds them by the million! It has been doing 1t since 1928.
 S.S.S. is one of the greatest blood.cell builders, blood d-cleansers and body strengtheners known to us mortals! When you put these facts together,-then to continue to have eczema and skin eruptions looks more like sin than a dis ease. S.S.S. contains only vege- table medicinal ingredients. Be. cause S.S.S. does build red-blood- cells, it routs eczema, clears the skin, builds firm flesh, fills out hollow checks, and gives you that more up and going appearance.

MIR. CORTY WRITES OPEN
LETTER ON TAX QUESTION

The people of the u. s. will soon bt
called upon to vote for candidates and
government representatives. How will
they vote? From all indications an
other Democratic Republican admins
tration, will have the pleasure. The
same old green bottle with the white
label, or the white bottle with the
green label, both filled with the same
prescription, for the sick and tired
public.
Well this same old medicine bring
about better conditions, and improve
the public welfare?
A great many of us know that the
psychology of invisible government
corruption has spread throughout the
nation, and practically every city and
village has been and is affected with
this blight. The people of this city
have witnessed a demonstration of
this When taxes are raised, they
must be paid for by the public who
have nothing to say in such matters.
Aristocracy, politicians and big inter-
ests, see to that because it is to their
advantage. The common public turn
the grindstone, while the money class
sharpen their axe. Small town COVER
ments are conducted on the same basis
as state and capital, political ma
chimes. One broad-minded man tries
to defend the common class and has
behind him a small luke warm fol-
lowing while the organized business
and political powers backed by So
ciety, out number the defender five
to one. There are people in all walks
of life who howl against higher tax
rates and when it comes to a show
down, they vote contrary to their own
convictions. Some people are swayed
to and fro like so many blades of
grass. When a third party leader
throws his hat in the circle of wolves,
it is Immediately devOured and the
herd cause is swept under
the hoofs of the almighty money
made gods.
If the state and capital legislature
puts it over on the wool blind public
as easy as it is done in our little city,
then we can not wonder at the present
conditions under which the tax-rid-
den people and the mortgage-bound
farmers, producers of life-saving prod
lcts and natural wealth, find them
selves.
The aristocratic motto seems to be
All for us and none for thee The
producers may keep the chaff and |
obs, while the high gods of industry, |
the bulk and cream of /
How long will the people withstand |
his terrific charging cavalry of in
'isable power that cut you down to
'overty at will with the all-powerful
word of self-interest and political
trategy?
If this phenomena which prevails
n this civilization is repetition of
history, it is disgrace to our flag
7hich stands for purity, truth and
acrifice.
