You will be compelled to
admit that the results Of

M ANY people imagine that &c
VA zema or letter needs only
some external application on the
skin in order to get relief. This is
because the attention of the suf-
ferer 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-bleod-cells to the point where
it is practically impossible for &c.
zema to exist. We know that as
blood-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 erHptions,
eczema, with all its fiery, skin dig
ging torture, and it's soultearing,
unreachable itching, pimpi IS,
blackheads and boils, they all pack
up and go, when the tid6 of blood
cells begins to roll in! Blood-cells
are the fighting giants of Nature!
S.S.S. builds them by the million!
1t has been doing it since 1926.
S.S.S. is one of the greatest
blood-cell builders, blood-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 a sin than dis
ease. S.SS. 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 cheeks, and gives you that
more UP and going appearance.

DRY AGENTS GET "GIN"
OF POTOMAC VARIETY
Effort to Trap Bootlegger Ends in
Receipt of Bottle of Water
Donated by Suspect.

Prohibition Agents G. T. King and
Thomas Wheeler, operating in the
campaign to dry up the erstwhle
"oasis" at Fourteenth street and
Pennsylvania avenue, across the
street from the willard Hotel were
handed a bottle of water instead of
bottle of gin by a prospective
prisoner last night. The fact that
the prisoner-elect donated the bot
tie to the agents gratis saved him
from having a charge placed against
him
When he went away after having
received the request for the bottle
of gin the agents said. some one
evidently tipped him off to the identi-
ties of the purchasers and when he
returned he refused to accept any
money for the Potomac beverage. He
was taken to the first precinct ques-
toned and released with the warn
ing that a repetition of the stunt
might result in a court case to test
whether it would be held in this
jurisdiction that such a transaction
is illegal, as Agents King and Wheel
er say has been held in other juris-
dictions.
The southwest corner of Fourteenth
street and Pennsylvania avenue, known
to the elect for some time back as ar
oasis" is being threatened with an
alright cleanup as the result o.
persevering operations by dry agents.
Among the bootlegging gentry the
word is passed: Nothing doing here,
the corner is hot. 1t looks as Ii
the oasis is passing into history.

After the great military effort of

Appears Unrepresentative.

A majority in the Electoral College
necessarily is 266, SO it will be seen
that even though the constitutional
rule of only one vote to each State,
whether that State be New York, with
43 Representatives, or New Mexico,
with just one lone Representative,
oughly unrepresentative, the result
happens to pan out just about the
same. The same States that cannot
represent majority in the House
under the one-vote rule would fall
five votes short of giving a candidate
a ma ajority in the electoral college.
i is perfectly apparent, however,
that throwing the election into Con-
gress would be far from an express
sion of the peoble's will. The Con-
President in 1924 is the Con gress
which was elected in 1922. In the
latter year neither Calvin Coolidge
nor John W. Davis had appeared on
the horizon as presidential probabii-
ties.
1t would take 25 States to elect in
the House. The Republicans fall two
short of that number; the Democrats
five. Therefore, under the ConStitu-
ton the Senate would be called upon
to elect Vice President, who, in turn,
would become President, in view of the
No Senate Majority.
In the Senate each Senator has
vote. but unless the Democrats or the
Republicans could win over some of
the La Toilette group of Senator'S
there could be no result in that body.
There is d general presumption that
the La Toilette outfit in the end might
vote for Mr.. Bryan, the Democrat, as
against Gen. Dawes, the Republican.
In case neither President nor Vice
President is chosen by March 4 next,
Secretary Hughes would become Acting
President and call the new Congress
into session to elect the chief execu-
tives of the Nation.
SO much of chaos abounds in the
possibilities of throwing the election
into Congress il is small wonder that
both Democrats and Republicans are
trying their utmost to avoid such
contingency.
