The skin is the seal of an almost end less variety of diseases. They are known by various names, but are all due to the same cause, acid and other poisons in the blood that irritate and interfere with the proper action of the skin. To have a smooth, soft skin, free from all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure and healthy. The many preparations of arsenic and potash and the large number of lace powders and lotions generally used in this class of diseases cover up for a short time, but cannot remove per manently the ugly blotches and the red, disfiguring pimples. Eternal vigilance is the price of a beautiful complexion when such remedies are relied on. Mr. H. T. Shobe, 2704 Lucas Avenue, St. Louis, Mo., says : “My daughter was afflicted for yeats with a disfiguring eruption on her face, which resisted all treatment. She was taken to two celebrated health springs, but received no bene fi*. Many medicines were prescribed, but with out result, until we decided to try S. S. K., and by the time the first bottle was finished the eruption began to disappear. A dozen bottles cured her completely and left her skin perfectly smooth She ts now- seventeen years old. and not a sign of the embarrassing disease has ever returned.’’ S. S. S. is a positive, unfailing cure for the worst forms of skin troubles. It is the greatest of all blood purifiers, and the only one guaranteed purely vegetable.

BRITISH BAYONETS CONFRONT RUSSIANS The Dispute at Tien Tsin Grows More Ominous. QUESTION OF PROPERTY RIGHTS A Pekin Dispatch Says Germans Loot a Town What our Rep resentative Is Doing. Advices from Tien Tsin, China, state that the British and Russians are disputing over the limits of rail way property in the Russian conces sion, and the guards of the two na tions are in close proximity to each other. The British have been strongly re enforced and trouble is imminent un less the Russians retire. The Russians are now intrenching in the disputed territory. A company of the Hong Kong regiment, with fixed bayonets, is in front, whi e two com panies of the Madras Pioneers, under the command of Major Johnson, are held in reserve. Both the Russians and the British are awaiting instructions from their governments. FKICTION AN ADMITTED FACT. A London special says: A question in the bouse of commons Friday,in re gard to the news from Tien Tsin an nouncing friction between the Rus sians and British there elicited a con firmation from Lord George Hamiltou, the secretary of state for India, who said Rnssia had claimed the land in dispute by virtue of a concession al leged to have been granted by China since the disturbances commenced. The authorities on the spot were deal ing with the matter. The government had not sent special instructions, as, throughout the Chinese operations, the Britist officers had shown a spirit of excessive conciliation. LOOTED BY GERMANS. A cablegram from Pekin says: It was reported at the United States le gation by Rev. W. S. Ament, of the local staff of the American board of foreign missions, that the Germans bad visited the prosperous market town of Nau Ming, sixty miles from Pekin, and completely looted it, and that they had also ransacked and des ecrated a native Christian chapel and despoiled women of their trinkets, even taking rings out of their ears and generally ill-treating the natives. The attitude of M. de Giers iegard ing further punishments is delaying the demand of the ministers of the powers upon the Chinese aud the matter has been referred to the home govern ments. Mr. Rockhill, the American special commissioner, says that practi cally he is in favor of drawing a clean sheet over additional executions, but that certain high officials throughout the provinces are guily of most bar barous crimes and that it is generally recognized that these must be punish ed if only as u warning to others. Iu every case where leniency was possible Mr.Rockhill has advocated it, but he has felt that in a few cases len iency was out of the question. He said M. de Giers had virtually agreed to certain additional punishments,but that the change in his attitude is pre sumably attributable to Russia’s an noyance at the interference of the others in the Manchuria affair. . At the latest meeting of the minis ters, M. de Giers vehemently ebeiared that he would rather see his right hand cut off than consent to further decapitations. As regards questions of indemnity, individual American claims, Mr. Rock hill says, under the agreement agreed upon by the ministers, will be paid in almost every case. The arrangement he considers satisfactory and fair to both Chinese and foreigners. FOR OBSTRUCTING SIDEWALK Mrs. Nation Arrested In Kansas City And Ordered to Leave Town.
