Eczema, Tetter, scaly irrita tions, pimples, blotches, red cpots and other disfigurations of the skin are commonly called "skin diseases'' because these disorders manifest themselves on the outer skin. In reality, however, they are not skin dis eases, but are impurities in the blood, which in their effort to get out of the system naturally appear at the weakest point. The fiery itching and burning of the skin caused by these irri tations sometimes becomes al most unbearable. It is at all times a source of great discom fort and the sufferer will glad ly try almost anything for re lief. A great majority of those afflicted however, make the mis take of resorting to local appli cations such as ointments, lo tions, salves, soaps, washes, etc. They do not realize that these local applications cannot pos sibly reach the source of the trouble, and no permanent cure can be expected from any dis order unless treated at its source. You can use ointments by the pound and lotions by the gal lon and make absolutely no real progress toward getting rid of these diseases, for such treat ment is only palliative and not curative. No one has yet been cured of similar afflictions until they realized that the disease was in the blood, and directed the treatment toward cleansing the blood and eliminating from it the disease germs. ??????

FRDTOSDAY "STCTTNTNG, JACKSON TUTS ' | BAKER PENSION BILL WAS LAST WITH SENATORS Commissioner Hits Back at Men Who Engage in Ques tioning Campaign Dr. John Price Jackson. Commis sioner of the State Department of I„abor and Industry, tilted with all legislative comers in the hearing ac corded him yesterday afternoon and made a return date for next Tues day before the joint legislative Ap propriation Committee. It was the liveliest hearing of the whole series and the commissioner and his ques tioners were emphatic and argumen tative most of the time. The commissioner was called to continue his testimony of last weolt, but started to read a statement show ing just what his department had done. Senators McNichol and Eyre started to punctuate it with the re sult that the commissioner turned on them. Time after time the senators asked for tlrst-hand information from the record to establish assertions and several hundredweight of papers from the State Employment Bureau figured at one time as exhibits. The senators did not take anything for granted and the commissioner de clared that if they gave him a chance he would answer their questions, while once he said their remarks were simply not correct. The main lino of argument was over appointments which the senator from Philadelphia did not like and said so, remarking that the circum stances connected with the selections were not such as he would expect from pronouncements regarding ad ministration of government in the in terest of the plain people. Commis sioner Jackson Justified his staff from the records, and when Director Liglit ner, of the Employment Bureau, was called to be questioned he proceeded to liven up the audience by saying that the big steel companies were carrying more men than they needed. The interchanges between the com missioner and his questioners made the recent Powell hearing seem like an afternoon tea. ISSfES PAPER MONEY Berlin, May 2.—One million half nark notes, of the first paper money in small denominations to be issued in the history of Germany, have just been put in circulation by the town of Spandau. Here is a typical case told of by Will Young, who resides at I 145 Fourth St., West Helena, ' Ark., who writes: "My mother had a breaking out ; all over her body, starting around her ankles. She was treated by twelve doctors, and more than a | thousand dollars was spent in an effort to find a cure. She was ; given many kinds of local reme | dies, none of which did her any good. Finally, realizing that the disease was in the blood, she be gan taking S. S. S. and after tak ing four bottles, many of the sores have disappeared, and she is well on the way to a complete recovery." There is no disease having its origin in a disordered or impure condition of the blood that will not be helped by the wonderful 1 powers of S. S. S. There is no j medicine on the market that | lias so successfully stood the test of time and accomplished ; results so consistently S. S. S. lias been in constant use for more than fifty years; it is sold by practically every drugstore in the United States, and every druggist is acquainted with its merits and will tell you that it is one of the most reliable medicines that he sells. You cannot hope to have perfect health, to be robust and strong, if there is the slightest im purity in your blood. In fact, these impurities lead to serious and disabling ailments, such as Rheumatism, Catarrh, Eczema. Scrofula, Tetter, etc. We maintain a medical de partment in charge of a special ist, who will gladly give full S information and advice in any ' case of blood disorders. You | arc invited to write him fully in I regard to your own individual case, and he will give you com plete directions for treatment, without charge.

HARRISBURG t£si3s TELEGRAPH SENATORS RUSH THE CALENDARS Considerable Work Accom plished in Sessions Held During This Week The Senate kept up its traditions yesterday and a big bunch of legis lation was advanced at the session In the two and one-half hours the upper branch was at work. Five bills introduced by Senator McXichol. which came from" committee promptly and passed lirst reading yesterday, and on the second reading calendar to-day. One of these bills is drastic. It forbids any members of the Workmen's Com pensation Board from being inter ested as lawyers in actions before the board or before? referees. The other bills have to do with the handling of State funds. The Governor is relieved of the duty of examining and approving State war rants that provide either for the ex penditure or collection of public moneys by the several branches of the Executive Department; define the purposes and draw the lines on the manner in which department contingent funds are expended; create a board of finance to perform the duties now devolving on the board of public accounts, revenue commissioners, sinking fund com missioners and the board to license private bankers, and there is also a joint resolution proposing an amendment to the constitution speci fying that moneys are not to be expended except as specifically pro vided by act of assembly and with in the time limit tixed for the ex penditure of appropriations. It is sought in this bill to avoid the neces sity of large deficiency appropria tions each session to cover the sums expended above moneys appropriat ed. It is foreseen the inevitably there will be expenditures in cases of emergency which will have to be provided for by legislative enact ment, but the McNichol resolution seeks to cut this to a minimum. There are two war measures that to-day passed second reading and will bo sent to the house as speedily as possible. The one is the Sproul act. authorizing courts of common pleas to appoint volunteer police offi cers during the present war with Germany. The other is for the pro tection of express companies, giving these companies the right to employ policemen who shall be commission ed by the Governor with authority to act in all counties of the State in which the express companies do business. Senator Vare's joint resolution proposing an amendment to the constitution so as to alloy the consolidation of the common pleas courts of Philadelphia county, went over yesterday when It was reached on the third reading calendar, at the request of Senator McNichol, who acted for Senator Vare's during the latter's absence from the body. Senator Beidleman's bill requiring railroad, canal, navigation and tele graph companies to make reports to the secretary of internal affairs not later than March 31 of any year, was on the third reading calendar, but was permitted to go over so that amendments c.ould be acted on. The Beidleman will hasten the making of these annual reports that have caused delay In compiling records each year, because they have either been neglected or held back. Upon these reports certain State taxes are computed and It Is believed money will come more promptly into th treasury If the reports reach the sec retary of internal affairs on time. Two bills have been recommitted for further consideration. One fixes the salaries of the clerks of the State Departments in the office of the county treasurer of Philadelphia county. The other is the Jones bill, authorizing the board of public ac counts to consider petitions for the return of moneys erroneously or in advertently paid or covered into the State treasury. . The Semmens act making it a I misdemeanor for any person to de face, mutilate or destroy any sign boards, makings, directions or let terings placed by the public author ities upon any State, county or town ship road or upon any other street or public highway, passed finally and goes to the house. The penalty is a fine not exceeding SIOO or thirty days In jail, or both at the discretion of the court.
