Skin trouble costs

No matter how efficient a man may
be if he has an ugly skin-eruption
there are positions in which he cannot
be tolerated. He may know that it N
not in the least contagious but other
people are afraid they avoid him and he
must make way for a man with a clear
healthy skin. Why run this risk when

Catarrh
After an experience of 25
years during which time 50
million Americans have used
Kondon’s Catarrhal Jelly the
manufacturers of this remedy
feel so sure that it will relieve
catarrh — that they offer to pay
for a chance to prove its benefit
to any catarrhal sufferer. They
announce that any resident of
this community can go to almost
any drug store and get a com-
plimentary trial can at the
expense of the manufacturers.
If the druggist has no gratuitous
packages the person may buy a
25 cent tube with the unqualified
understanding that if that first
tube does not do that person
more than a dollar’s worth of
good he or she can get their
quarter back from either the
druggist or the Kondon Com-
Sany at Minneapolis Over
5000 druggists know Kondon’s
Catarrhal Jelly is effective
harmless clean and pleasant to
apply — and they know the

combinations of foreign buyers
equipped to depress the prices of
American products. The necessity
for enactment of the Webb bill now
before the Senate will be subject
of an address by Robert H. Patchhi
secretary of the National Foreign
Trade Council and the necessity for
co-operation in the export of nat-
ural commodities such as lumber
copper farm products as well as
manufactures will be emphasised in
each of these lines.
John D. Ryan to S|>eak
John D. Ryan president of the
Anaconda Copper Mining Company
will speak at the banquet on co-
operation. Chairman Edward N.
Hurley of the Federal Trade Com-
mission. will also speak at the ban-
quet on the Government and For-
eign Trade.” The question of Ameri-
ca's position in world finance is to
be handled by an eminent financial
authority whose name is not yet
announced while the value of in-
vestment in oversea development
enterprises in order to create a de-
mand for American manufactures
will be discussed by C. K. Mcln-
tosh vice president of the Califor-
nia Bank of San Francisco and a
number of other prominent hank-
ers from different sections uf the
country.
The problems of the smaller
manufacturer and merchant who
the council feels it is nationally
necessary should be encouraged to
enter foreign trade will be consid-
ered in "group sessions" to be or-
ganised and held by the council in
co-operation with the American
Manufacturers’ Export Association.
The discussion will be directed to
assisting solution of the problems
perplexing this class of American
business men. Since the problem of
giving foreign purchasers the cred-
its they are accustomed to receive
from European exporters a "group
session" has been arranged in co-
operation with the National Asso-
ciation of Credit Men. in the hope
of paving the way for development
of an American system of foreign
credits and credit information. The
American Exporters’ and Importers'
Association has been invited to join
the council in the conduct of a
group session” on "The Function
of the Export Merchant and Com-
mission House.”
Trained Mon Needed.
The need of trained men in for-
eign trade and the methods of their
training will be considered at an
educational session under the chair-
manship of Chancellor S. B. McCor-
mick. of the University of Pittsburg.
The council’s educational commit-
tee has already conducted consid-
erable research in this direction. Dr.
E. E. Pratt chief of the bureau of
foreign and domestic commerce.
United States Department of Com-
merce. will outline a government
plan whereby trained men may ad-
vertise through the daily commerce
reports issued by the government
their qualifications and firms may
advertise their needs of such men.

Poisoned by Thousands!
(By L. H. Smith M. D.)
The victims of auto-intoxication
are many thousand every day. By
reason of the toxins or poisons
.bred in the intestines these pois-
I onous bacteria are sent all through
'the blood channels and the victim
i feels tired sleepy and headachy
jor the brain doesn't work as usual
j The best treatment for this is to
drink hot water before breakfast —
I plenty of water all day and procure
la supply of Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant
I Pellets made of. Mayapple leaves
' of aloes etc. with no calomel en-
tirely vegetable which can be ob-
! tafned at drug stores for 25 cents
i Equally important is to cleanse
kidneys and bladder and drinking
। plentifully of pure water will
i cleanse them to a certain extent.
’ Then obtain at the drug store a
little Anuric which was first dis-
। covered by Dr. Pierce of Surgical
1 Institute in Buffalo. Anuric should
Ibe taken before meals. It is many
times more potent than Hthia in
throwing off the oplsonous accum- :
illations of uric acid.
Dr. Weir Mitchell once said:’
"What we call diseases are only ;
symptoms of conditions. Allow the
man's vitality to be reduced to a
certain point and he is ripe for
any of these weaknesses or certain
conditions which we call disease."
Through failure of kidneys to act.
through congestion inflammation.!
any person's condition is ripe for
disease to fasten its hold upon the ;
system. •
Anuric has been tested for the
past few years for kidney bladder
uric acid troubles. rheumatism. I
gout and such ailments as follow
and so many cases both acute and
stubborn have yielded to this won-
derful remedy that I do not hesi-
tate to recommend It.

TO REDEEM MANKIND
Federated Council of Churches l>ts-
cussee Mission of Goepel.
ST. LOUIS. Mo.. Dec. 11.—Final
sessions of the convention of the
Federated Council of Churches of
Christ in America are to be held here
today and tonight. The morning
meeting will deal with "the supreme
mission of the gospel—the redemp-
tion of mankind.”
The afternoon program will be a
discussion of "prayer and prepara-
tion for the future tasks.” and the
evening session will be given over
to talks on "The Battle of the
Church With the Forces of Iniquity.”
The newly-elected executive commit-
tee is to meet Tuesday morning to
elect a chairman and a general sec-
retary.
A salary basis for evangelists. In-
stead of the present system "part
salary part subscription systematic-
ally solicited and part free-will of-
fering.” I* urged by the commission
on evangelism at the Federal Coun-
cil of Churches submitted to the
quadrennial convention of the coun-
cil today.
"The present system.” says the re-
port. ensures the evangelist an In-
come far in excess of the earning of
equally gifted men in any other de-
partment of religious educational or
philanthropic effort and gives an al-
together hurtful prominence to the
cojnmercial side of evangelism.
"The regular ministry is to some
degree susnicious of public or so-
called vocational evangelism This
suspicion has often ripened into a
prejudice altogether unjustified.
Evangelism however because of its
oxx n weakness and folly has de-
served a large share of the rebuke it
has received.”
COLD RUINS CABBAGE
Corpus Christ! Dealer Says 30 to 50
Per <Xwit Blighted.
CORPUS CHRISTI Tex . Dec. 11.
According to Charles E. Coleman
a local produce dealer and the prin-
cipal cabbage shipper of South Tex-
as. the frost of a few nights ago
played havoc with the cabbage and
from 30 to 50 per cent of the crop
has been blighted unless stated Mr.
i Co’enian. we should be so fortunate
1 as to have a good rain within the
. next few days in which event there
would be p good chance of the plants
: tatklng on new life and heading.
"Saturday I made « close inspec-
tion of the crops around Corpus
Christi and Calallen and found that
i about 50 j>er cent of the older cah-
। bagv had been blighted by the frost
!of Friday night while the damage
I to the younger stuff will approxi-
mate about 30 per cent. This cold
spell was unusually severe for De-
cember. the temperature falling to
30 degrees."
About 1200 acres had been planted
in the vicinity of Corpus Christi
i Tulosa and Caiallen and the loss will
lie heavy especially when it is con-
। sidered that there was every pros-
pect for big prices prevailing for the
product at marketing time which
usually starts early In January.
