Complexion by the Quick Acting
Stuart's Calcium Wafers
Pimples are an offense to others and
s crime against yourself. People have
on!v tolerated you because they con
sidered the condition of your face to lie
a misfortune against which you have
no remedy. But now that it is uni
versally known that Stuart's Calcium
Wafers will usually banish pimples,
blackheads, blotches, eruptions, and
liverspots, your continued negligence
will be considered inexcusable.
"I Wish I Could Make Every Pinip.v
Woman Take Stuart's Calcium Wafers
Just One Week."
The person with a pimply face is al
ways unattractive and at a disadvan
tage in society. Those ugly disfigure
ments set at naught the effect of the
most perfect features. It your face and
figure had the classical outlines of a
Greek statue, a mass of pimples would
still destroy your beauty. A clear,
fresh skin is absolutely essential to any
real beauty.
A beautiful complexion is dependent
on a rich, pure, abundant supply of
blood to the skin. Calcium sulphide has
long been recognized as one of the most
effective of blood purifiers. Quickly
converting all impurities into gaseous
form that readily escapes from the
pores, it purities the blood in remark
ably short order. Calcium sulphide is
the chief constituent of Stuart's Cal
cium Wafers, which contain besides,
certain mild alteratives that invigorate
tlie blood. You will be delighted at the
rapidity with whish all face disorders
will disappear, once the blood has been
cleansed of its impurities through their
use.
You have a right to beauty and health
and happiness. You have a right to the
admiration and respect of others. Take
the step that will gain you all of these.

WHAT DYSPEPTICS
SHOULD EAT
A PHYSICIAN'S ADVICE
"Indigestion and practically all
forms of stomach trouble are. nine
times out of ten. due to acidity; there-
I fore stomach sufferers should, when
ever possible, avoid eating food that is
! acid in it« nature, or which by chem
ical action in the stomach develops ac
. idity. Unfortunately such a rule ellm
; inates most foods which are pleasant
to the taste as well as those which
are rich in blood, tlesh and nerve bulld-
I ing properties This is the reason why
dyspeptics and stomach sufferers are
usually so thin, emaciated and lacking
in thai vital ener.ty which can only
come from a well fed body. For the
! benefit of those sufferers who have been
obliged to exclude from their diet all
starchy, sweet or fatty food, ar.il are
trying to keep up a miserable exist
ence on gluten products. I would sug
gest that you should try a meal of any
food or foods which you may like, in
1 moderate amount, taking immediately
afterwards a leaspoonfuT of bisurated
magnesia in a little ho: or cold water.
This will neutralise any acid which
may be present, or which maj be form
ed. ami Instead of the usual feeling of
uneasiness and fullness, you will rtnd
that your food agrees with you perfect
ly. Bisurated magnesia is doub;lesj
the best food corrective and antacid
known. It lias no direct action on
the stomach: but by neutralising tha
j acidity of the food contents. an\l thus
removing the source of the aciil irri
tation which" inflames the delicate
stomach lining, it d >es more than could
j possibly be done by any drug or med
ji. ine. As a physician t believe in the
use of medicine whenever necessary,
i but 1 must admit that I cannot jsee the
sense of dosing an inflamed and irrl-
I tilted stomach with drugs instead of
getting rid of the acid—the cause of
ill the trouble. Get a little bisurated
magnesia from your druggist, eat what
you want at your next meal, take some
.>f the bisurated magnesia as directed
above, and sec if I'm not right."—Adv.

S Mnch Better than the Ready- w

This home-made cough syrup is now
used in more homes than any other cough
remedy. Its promptness, ease and cer
tainty in conquering distressing coughs,
chest and throat colds, is really remark
able. You can actually feel it take hold.
A dav's use will usually overcome the
ordinary cough—relieves even whooping
cough quickly. Splendid, too, for bron
chitis, spasmodic croup, bronchial asthma
and winter coughs.
Get from any druggist ounces of
Pinex (50 cents worth), pour it in a pint
bottle and till the bottle with plain granu
lated sugar syrup. This gives you—at a
cost of only 54 cents—a full pint of better
cough syrup than you could buv for $2.50.
Takes but a few minutes to prepare. Full
directions with Pinex. Tastes good and
never spoils.
You will be pleasantly surprised how
quickly it loosens dry, hoarse or tight
coughs, and heals the inflamed mem
branes in a painful cough. It also stops
the formation of phlegm in the throat
and bronchial tubes, thus ending the per
sistent loose cough.
Pinex is a most valuable concentrated
compound of genuine Norway pine ex
tract, rich in gnaiacol, which is so heal
ing to the membranes.
To avoid disappointment, be sure and
ask your druggist for "2% ounces Pinex,"
and don't accept anything else.

this preparation. The Pinex Co.. Ft.

FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE
VERY SERIOUS IN EUROPE
Immense Losses Occur In Countries
Where the Pestilence Is Too Wide
spread for the Infected Herds to
Be Slaughtered
Washington, D. C.. Jan. 21.—Be
cause of the prevalence of foot and
mouth disease in Europe and South
Americu, importations of live stock are
now limited practically to shipments
from Great Britain, Ireland aud the
Channel Isles. Even with these coun
tries trade has been interrupted several
times in recent years, tor the govern
ment does not permit the importation
of animals from countries where the
disease exists, and there have been
several outbreaks in Great Britain
latelv.
Up to November, 1906, American
ports were open to Belgium and Hoi
hnd. In that month, however, some
sheep were taken into Belgium from
France where the disease was quite
prevalent and brought the pestileuce
with them. By the end of the year ev
ery province in Belgium was affected,
aud Holland as well. Since that time
both of these countries have beeu
fighting the disease but have not yet
succeeded in eradicating it.
In Italy, France, Switzerland, Ger
many and Russia the plague has existed
so long and has gained such a foot
hold that it is economically impossible
to light it with the American methods
of Slaughter and disinfection, for to
do so would 'be to kill a large per
centage of the live stock in these coun
tries. In eotfoequence, the authorities
appear to be making little or no prog
ress in their campaign. The outbreak,
for example, which appeared in Ger
many in ISBB, increased steadily until
1892 when it diminished gradually for
a few years but again reached great
proportions in 1899. Thereafter it con
tinued to exist to a greater or less
extent until in 1911 it attained a
virulence unequalled before. In that
year 3,366,369 cattle, 1,602,927
sheep, 2,565,371 hogs and 53.674
goats were affected. At that time the
total number of cattle, sheep, swine
audgoats in Germauy was only 51,319,-
000. while there were in the I'nited
States 172,572,000, or between three
and four times as many. It can readily
be imagined, therefore, what it would
mean to the I'nited States if the dis
ease was to gain the foothold here that
it had in Germanv where, as these fig
nres show, approximately one out of
seven of the animals susceptible to the
disease was affected.
Since the mortality in the disease
is comparatively low. ranging from only
3 per cent, in mild forms to 30 or 40
per cent, in malignant eases, the havoc
caused by the pestilence is sometimes
underestimated. From the work of
various scientists, however, who have
endeavored to ascertain the decrease iu
value of an animal which recovers from
an attack, it may be said that on an
average this amounts iu Germany to
$7.00 and in Holland to $lO. In this
country with its higher prices, the
loss is correspondingly greater. If these
figures be accepted, it is obvious that
the amount of money spent in eradicat
ing the disease becomes insignificant in
comparison with the loss it causes when
left to itself.
The German government, of course,
has not left the disease to itself. The
more recent outbreaks it attempted to
control by the American method of
slaughter, but the pestilence had gain
ed too much headway and was too firm
ly established in too many portions of
the country for this method to succeed,
and the slaughter of the infected herds
had to be abandoned. It now appears
that there is no hope of getting rid of
it until the virus lias worn itself out.
At present it seems that as soon as the
animal's period of acquired immunity
is over and favorable conditions pre
sent themselves, the contagion breaks
out with renewed virulence so that the
authorities have practically abandoned
all hope of controlling it by means of
quarantines. One scientist indeed has
asserted that unless all the infected
farms were absolutely isolated and the
movement not only of live stock but
of persons absolutely prohibited, the
disease could not be stamped out. Such
a quarantine is, of course, utterly im
possible to enforce. In certain portions
of Germany, indeed, the farmers real
izing that the disease is inevitable
make haste to be done with it by expos
ing their stock deliberately to mild
cases in the hope that this will result
in an immediate mild attack and im
munity for several vears thereafter.
Great Britain and Xorwav and Swed
en, on account of their comparatively
isolated positions, have been more suc
cessful in keeping out the disease. The
outbreaks in these countries have been
more sporadic and by resorting to im
mediate slaughter the authorities have
been able to stamp them out. In the
outbreak near Dublin in 1912, indeed
measures were adopted which were
■more stringent than any used in this
country. As soon as the existence of
the disease became definitely known,
so-called "stand-still" restrictions were
FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Weil-Known Local Druggist Says Every
body Is Using Old-time Recipe of
Sage Tea and Sulphur
Hair that loses its color and lustre,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused bv a lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made up
a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to
keep her locks dark and beautiful, and
thousands of women and men who value
that even color, that beautiful dark
shade of hair which is so attractive, use
only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays wje get this famous mix
ture by asking at any drug store for a
50-cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound," which darkens the
hair so naturally, so evenly, that no
body can possibly tell it has been ap
plied. Besides, it takes off. dandruff,
stops scalp itching and falling hair.
You just dampen a sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at a time. By
morning the gray hair disappears: but
what delights the ladies with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur is that, besides beau
tifully darkening the hair after a few
applications, it also brings back the
gloss and lustre and gives it an ap
pearance of abundance.—Adv.

imposed on the affected district. Not
only was the movement of live stock
into or out of the district absolutely
forbidden, but no cattle, sheep, goats
or swine could move along or even
across any highway or thoroughfare.
Moreover within each of the affect
ed districts, known as "scheduled dis
tricts'' were two smaller areas in
which there were even closer restric
tions. One of these areas consisted of
the premises on which the actual out
break had taken place. These premises
wore declared to 'be an "infected
■place." Prom such a place nothing
could be taken of any sort without
permission, and no permission was
granted until the objects in question
had been thoroughly disinfected. No
one but the person actually attending
the stock was allowed to enter any
shed or tield in which a diseased or
suspected 'animal had been kept, and
the one man who cou-kd do so was com
pelled upon leaving to wash his hands
thoroughly with soap and water and
disinfect his boots and clothes. He was,
moreover, prohibited from caTing for
any animal which was not diseased or
suspected. On farms adjacent to the
"infected place" the owners of live
stock were ordered to stoip all move
ments of their animals, and these or
ders, together with the other regula
tions, were enforced through the local
constabulary who closely guarded all
infected places. This patrol was so
strict that it was practically impossible
for anyone to pass into or out from the
forbidden area without instant detec
tion.
Within the "scheduled districts." a
house-to-house and farm-to-farm inspec
tion was carried on by veterinary in
spectors who not only examined live
stock but made a record of the number
on each Harm in order to detect any
cases of surreptitious shipments. Ex
posed stock was slaughtered, as has
been done in all sections of this coun
try where satisfactory progress has as
yet been made in stamping out the
pestilence.
In addition to slaughtering the stock
farm yards and similar places were
thoroughly disinfected; the fields in
which the animals had grazed were
carefully strewn, iby machines, with
newly iburned lime; stacks of hay were
disinfected by superheated steam; the
foxes in the neighborhood were destroy
ed as far as possible by poison, and all
persons in the neighborhood were com
pelled to tie up their dogs. The wheels
of all vehicles and the feet of horses
which left the " infected places" were
previously washed with disinfectant
fluid, and cans of this fluid were placed
about the fields so that there wohld be
no excuse for anyone failing to observe
the required precairtions.
These methods were successful in
stamping out the disease, although there
have been one or two minor outbreaks
in Ireland since that time. In this con
nection it is interesting to note that the
authorities in charge of the campaign
were unable to discover any clue to the
origin of the pest. "Foot and mouth
disease," they reported, "is of such
an infectious character and may appar
ently be -carried through so many di
verse and elusive ways that in this as
in other cases it is most difficult to fix
on 'any specific medium of diffusing the
infection. The disease was protoablv
carried, for the most part, by persons
who had 'been in contact with infected
animals, but the connection between
the various cases could not be definitely
traced except in one or two instances."

Physician's Prescription
For Indigestion
Important for All Those Who Suffer
After Eating
If you suffer from indigestion after
eating and find that instead of the one
little pepsiu or soda pill you used to
take, it now needs two or three to stop
it, it's time you called a halt and did
some hard thinking.
The plain truth is that there are thou
sands of men and women in this country
whose stomachs are dead or dying from
lack of exercise while they themselves
still live. They can't go on this way
much longer. It's wonderful to think
that powerful drugs compressed in a pill
will even for a little while do the work
of a human stomach. But no pill was
ever made that could do it for long.
A dead stomach can't be brought to
life but a slowly dying stomach can and
must or its owner must soon follow.
Years ago a famous physician wrote
tjm. prescription for Mi-o-na Stomach
Tablets and thousands nwe their very
life to them to-day. Most stomach rem
edies work on the food and digests it.
Mi-o-na works on the stomach and di
gests nothing. Mi-o-na Tablets strengthen
the stomach walls,stimulate the stomach
muscles and vitalize the stomach ma
chinery into instant and normal action.
The stomach starts at once to churn its
food and normal, painless digestion fol
lows. H. C. Kennedy and many other
leading druggists hereabout sell Mi-o-na
Tablets, agreeing to refund money in
any case where it does not do theso two
things. First, in ten minutes give relief
from heartburn, gas, belching, acidity,
sour rising, etc. Second, in thirty days
completely renovate, cleanse and
strengthen the stomach so it can do its
own work without aid of any kind. If
your own druggist, thinks this well of
Mi-o-na vou surelv ought to trv it.
