PIMPLES AND SKIN ERUPTIONS DANGER SIGNS OF BID BLOOD First Sign of Blood Disease. Pimples, scaly Itching skin, rashes, burning sensations and .Scrofula denote ■with unfailing certainty a debilitated, weakened and impure state of the blood. The trouble may have been in jour blood from birth, but no matter Jiow you were infected, you must treat it through the blood. It is a blood dis ease. You must use S. t?. S., the stand ard blood tone for 30 years, if you ex pert relief. For purifying the system, nothing is equal to it. The action of S. S. S is to cleanse the blood. It soaks through the system direct to the seat •if the trouble—acting as an antidote to neutralize the blood poisons. It re vitalizes the red blood corpuscles, in creases the flow so that the blood can properly perform its physical work. The dull, sluggish feeling leaves you— the complexion clears up. Even "long standing cases respond promptly. But you must take S. S. S. Drugs and sub stitutes won't do. Get S. S. S. from y our druggist. If you need expe-t ad vice write to Swift Specific Co..

To Show 'Km a l{eal Hunch Last year, the Pittsburgh trade! excursion visited Altoona: but it did' not have a band and this year, Har-1 risburg will give Altoona a new im- j ) pression of what can be done in the! i way of trade excursions.

Commerce there, every member of the j I party will be given good hotel ac- \ 1 commodations over night. Dinner and i breakfast will be served at the Logan ' House. Saturday afternoon Secretary Mc- Colgin visited Huntingdon and Lewis town and made arrangements for the trade excursion visits to those cities. ! Secretary Clark of the Huntingdon | Chamber of Commerce stated nothing ! would be left undone to make the i visit of the Harrisburgcrs an event. I 1 E. M. C. Africa, president of the I J. C. Blair Co.. which operates the i first and one of the greatest fine pa- ' per tablet factories in the world, will ! keep open house for the visitors. | Guides will be provided to show the i party through the factory which is i only a block from the square. The Huntingdon Chamber of Com- j merce operates a "community house" i for the use of farmers and their! wives who visit Huntingdon. Free j reading and rest rooms are provided i for both sexes. This new develop- i ment of commerce organization ser- ! vice in a town of moderate size will 1 be found interesting says Secretary j McColgin. At Lewistown the secretary found I Burgess Leopold and Secretary Bur- ! kett of the Board of Trade in con-! ference upon the very matter he went j there to see about. Arrangements j were made for the party to take 1 , lunch at the Coleman House imme- j diately upon its arrival in special street cars from the 11N" Junction, j After luncheon a joint half meeting will be held between the Harrisburg- j ers and the businessmen of Lewistown.! It will take place In the courthouse, i just opposite the hotel.

I'enn Highway meeting to chance. ; Those taking part in the trade ex ! cursion may rest assured that this year's trip will be unsurpassed in the! way of local receptions say the offi-; cials. This is the first time an ad- j vance visit has ever been made to i every town on the route of the trade! j excursions. Widening of "The Narrows" Absolutely Necessary In the development of the plans for the William Penn Highway across the! State, touching the most populous cities and towns, one of the most im portant matters under consideration j is the necessary provision for a wider I j roadway from Clark's Ferry to Dau- j : phin. Under present conditions this ! section is a menace to travel and a serious interference with the main j ; trunk line of the Northern Central ! railway. Particularly is this true im-! j mediately south of Clark's Ferry where j the railroad's rights of way encroach upon the highway to such an extent ! as to render it little more than a lanej and increasing constantly the danger i of accident by the heavy automobile' traffic. Inasmuch as the interests of the! Northern Central liailwav company! will require increased trackage be-1 tween this city and Williamsport, it is' probable that some arrangement will have to be made for the utilization oft I the old canal bed so as to permit of a! : new roadway from Clark's Ferry to J | Dauphin along the river. This would , eliminate several very dangerous grade; j crossings and provide the necessary! j roadway. State Highway Commissioner Cun- ■ ( ningham and his force have had thisj I matter under consideration for months; and it is understood that they are in! ! touch not only with the railway i ! officials, but also the local and county j officials with a view to corvecting a! i very serious situation. t RECEPTION FOR SUPERINTENDENT New Manager of Short Moun tain Colliery Welcomed by Lykcns and Williamstown Lykens, Pa., Jan. 24.—A big recep tion was given to David Randall, suc cessor of William Auman as superin tendent of Short Mountain colliery, on Saturday evening.

WILSON PREPARES FOR SPEECH TRIP [Continued From First l'age.l | ing trip to New York and the Middle | West to lay his plans for national pre paredness before the country. | A complete program for his "swing ! around -the circle" in the interest of preparedness was laid before the President to-day. It had been map iped 'out by the White House office i force while he was aboard the May ! flower preparing the addresses he will I deliver. Scores of invitations for the i President to include cities not on his j scheduled itinerary had to be refused. I Except for an unexpected visit to j historic Yorktown the trip down the ! river with Mrs. Wilson was unevent ■ ful. The President spent most of the j time working on his speeches on the preparedness issue which has for 1 some time been overshadowed in Con- I gress by the Mexican problem and the i international situation, has again come I to the forefront as a result of Presi dent Wilson's decision to make a per- I sonal appeal to the country in behalf lof his program. In consequence, friends and opponents alike of pre paredness look for stirring times in Congress. Many members apparently are waiting to hear from "back home" on the subject of preparedness before deciding upon a course of action and . it is believed that the President's trip : not only will bring out public opinion I but arouse Congress to activity. Many .More Invitations I More invitations to speak in the j Middle West and on later trips were | received at the White House to-day I and the President replied to all say ! ing he wanted to visit as manv cities !as possible, but was uncertain about I his exact plans. At the request, of Sen j ators Stone and Reed, the President I decided to visit St. Louis as well as i Kansas City. t Secretary Wilson and Senator Oliver HARRISBURG StSIS& TELEGRAPH ft 133 Instruments Sold Saturday | 8 ♦♦ g The First Day of Our Bis Once-a- Year Clearance Sale of NEW and USED PIANOS and PLAYER-PIANOS I ♦♦ XX ♦♦ XX H Over 100 Instruments at Reduced Prices H XX Are Included So There Is Still Good Choice H 3 ♦♦ 1 . 1 H Below We Feature Ten Most Extraordinary Bargains For Today and H H Tomorrow.
