SKIN DISEASES
MEAN BAD BLOOD
Lotioosand Ointments
Cannot Cure Them.
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.

V? 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,

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.
