There was merely a motion that it he referred, and this was quickly adopted. Council seemed relieved The opinion was freely' expressed by members that the petition would never he taken from Its pigeonhole and brought up for action, unless some un expected champion of the women comes to the front. Signers of the petition said they be lieved that the future of the unfortu nate women coming under the supervi sion of the vice commission would be more safely guarded if members of their I sex. with sympathy and an understand ing. had a voi- e in the deliberations of the commission. No member of the newly created board has openly shown any opposition to having the aid of women in the work. The v e commission was appointed by Mayor Wlnn several weeks ago. alt er a long delay.

TO HIDEW^^ 7 The ostrich endeavoring to /j y » conceal itself from danger, thrusts 1 3 // a it... head into the sand, doubtless //- H believing that if it cannot see, neither can it be seen. This is a > poor w ay to hide because it leaves the body almost entirely exposed to attack. Just as ineffectual is the attempt to cure Skin Diseases by the ap -1 pli.ation of salves, cosmetics, lotions, “creams," “skin foods," etc. True, such treatment may gloss over or temporarily hide the out ' ward eruptions, in some cases, but this method does nothing to de ' stroy the impurities, humors or acids in the blood, which produce skin d-.sorders, and the trouble is no more cured than is the ostrich hidden. i.-ing just beneath the outer covering or tissue-skin is a mem branous flesh which surrounds and protects the tiny veins, pores and., gland-. It is here the impurities from the blood are deposited and 1 die acrid matter causes irritation and inflammation, which splits or arcaks the.thin, tissue-like cuticle, and the result is manifested in Ec icma, Tetter, Salt Rheum, Acne, pimples, or some other disfiguring I or annoying eruption. Since Skin Diseases are the result of bad blood it can readily be seen that there is but one way to produce a cure, and that is, to pu rifv the blood. Local treatment can only afford temporary relief. S. S. S. cures Skin Diseased of every kind by neutralizing the acids and removing all humors from the blood. S. S. S. cools the icid-heated circulation, builds it up to its normal strength and thick ness, multiplies its rich, nutritious corpuscles and adds to its purity in every way. Then the skin instead of being irritated and inflamed .■rfUT&i and soothed by this cooling, i healthy stream of blood, and all \ disfiguring blemishesoreruptions ! Tv, T‘-4 gradually but surely disappear. L-v ■ S. S. S. is the greatest of all — blood purifiers, and therein lies its ability to cure skin diseases. The trouble cannot remain after the I cause has been removed, and S. S. S. will certainly remove the cause. It cures Eczema, Tetter, Salt Rheum, Acne, pimples, boils, rashes, and all eruptions of the skin. Go to any reliable drug store and ask for S. S. S. and accept nothing in place of it. Any druggist can supply you and most of them wish their customers to have what they call for. Book on Skin Diseases and any medical advice free to all who write.
