Pimply Pretty Faces May Bo Made Clean and Clear By Using Stuart's' Calcium Wafers Trial Package Sent Free Pretty faces are dally seen about us marred and marked -with pimples, blotches and eruptions. There is absolutely no necessity for this condition being so exceed ingly prevalent. Pimples and skin troubles show that the blood is im pure, and is forcing its impurities into the cells and glands of the skin there festering and breaking out at last into many eruptive disorders. Don't Mar Your Beauty by Neglect. Stuart's Calcium Wafers Sent . Free for Trial. Calcium Sulphide is one of the greatest blood purifiers known to science, and is so powerful that In a few days dreadful conditions of skin disease are overcome, and pimples and ordinary skin troubles have been removed in a few days. Stuart's Calcium Wafers contain this great purifier and preserve its fullest strength in the peculiar pro cess called Stuart's. Combined with the Calcium Sulphide are three other great blood, inyigorators, each doing a special WQrjk intended for rapid and complete nastery over blood im purities and skA diseases. By using Stuart's Calcium Wafers in a few days one notices the good effects, and in a short time the blood responds quickly and purges itself of its irritating and impure parts. These wafers are not experimental, they do their great work so fast and are .so uniformly successful that they are known in every hamlet and by every druggist. Physicians will tell you of Calcium Sulphide, and how hard it is to prepare it to hold its full strength. Stuart has solved the question with Stuart's Calcium Waf ers. They sell at all druggists for $50c, or send us your name and ad dress and we will send you a trial package by mail free. Address F. A. Stuart Co., 17 5 v Stuart Bldg., Marshall, Mich. Joseph W. Blythe, general consul for the Burlington railroad system and for many years a prominent citi zen of Burlington, Iowa, died sud denly while on a hunting trip. Congress met in special session March 16. The tariff will be the special subject under consideration, although Representative Crumpacker of Indiana says he will re-introduce the census bill which Mr. Roosevelt vetoed. Oyster Bay dispatches say that Mrs. Roosevelt and children with the exception of Mrs. Longworth and Theodore, Jr., will spend most of the time while Mr. Roosevelt is in Africa, visiting in Italy. A Boston dispatch carried by the Associated Press says: "In connec tion with a movement to establish an old age pension system, former United States Senator C. W. Hinds of Mississippi was in this city. Mr. Hinds has embodied his views in a bill which, together with a strong petition bearing the names of citi zens in all parts of the country, he proposes to present to the coming extra session of congress. The bill provides for the creation of an 'old age inquiry pension commission,' to be composed of five persons to be ap pointed by the. president of the United States, with the advice and consent of the senate. This commis sion would be instructed to make a comprehensive investigation of the condition of all persons over the age of sixty years in the United States and report to congress." The estimated deficit under the republican administration for the year ending June 30, 1909, is $114,000,000. Secretary of 'the Treasury Mac Veagh is the oldest member of the Taft cabinet, being 6G years of age. John P. Thiessen, p. republican member of the Nebraska house of representatives, introduced a resolu tion condemning former Congress man Pollard, republican, for having voted for a ship subsidy bill. James Christiansen, former state treasurer of Utah, has been arrested charged -with a shortage of more than $70,000. Christiansen acknowl edges the shortage and his bondsmen and friends have made it good. He is now in jail at Salt JLake City. Congress met in special session March 15. In spite of the fact that a number of republicans rebelled against the re-adoption of the Can non rules, Joseph G. Cannon was re elected speaker. As soon as Speaker Cannon took the chair Dalzell (rep.) of Pennsylvania moved to adopt the old rules. The democrats, under the leadership of Champ Clark and sup ported by a number of insurgent re publicans, voted against Dalzell's motion and it was defeated amid great cheering by democrats and their allies. After a heated debate Fitzgerald of New York proposed what he called an amendment to the old rule. Practically the Fitzgerald amendment provides no relief from "Cannonism." Fitzgerald and sev eral other democrats, together with several insurgent republicans, voted with Cannon republicans for the Fitzgerald amendment and it pre vailed. Champ Clark's proposition to have the house itself appoint a committee of fifteen on rules was defeated. So in spite of all that has been said Cannon and "Cannonism" prevails. I TRADE IN YOUR INFERIOR SEPARATORS 15,000 American users of poor or worn-out separators traded them in last year on account of now DE LAVAL CREAM SEPARATORS and there are doubtless many more owners of such ma chines who will bo glad to know that whilo such old ma chines have no actual value the DE LAVAL Company con tinues to make liberal "trade" allowances for them becauso of the opportunity such exchanges afford for the most prac tical illustration possible of the difference between good and poor separators and putting a stop to the sale of others like them in the same neighborhood. Nobody is injured through the re-sale of these old machines as they are simply broken-up and "scrapped" for their old metal value. Then there are many thousands ol DE LAVAL users who should know that they may exchange their out-of-date ma chines of from 10 to 25 years ago for the much improved, closer skimming, easier running and larger capacity ma chines of today. Write in a description of your old machine name, size and serial number or seo your DE LAVAL agent. The De Laval Separator Co, 42 E. Macison Street CHICAGO 1213 & 1215 Filbert 8t.

Two Men Make $10,000 Net in One Year From Onions Two men came to Mission a year ago with two teams and a few hundred dollars in money, rented 43 acres of-irrigated land, paying therefor $20 per acre rent, and planted Bermuda onions. Notwithstanding it was a year when the markets were unfav orable, these two men received net from each acre of onions the sum of $358.01. The men are "W. P. Stites and "W. E. Nicholson, whose address is Mission, Hidalgo County, Texas, and they will gladly verify these statements. Their 43 acres produced 34 car loads of onions, containing 17,061 crates, net ting the growers $15,394.64, the commission men $1,320.00, the crate men $2,900.37 and the railroads $8,291.79. Off of these 43 acres of onions, Messrs, Stites and Nicholson paid their total living expenses, labor bills, rent, cost of crates, freight and all other incidental expenses, amounting to a little over $5,000 and for their one year's work, they put in bank some thing over $10,000. These men have now made enough to pur chase their own lands on the LaLomita ranch at Mission, and are enthusiastic over the conditions and outlook for progres sive farming at Mission. The LaLomita lands at Mission are in the delta of the Kio Grande, and are rich sediment lands, with an abundance of river water for irrigation; in climate, fertility and products these lands are the equal of the Nile delta in Egypt. In truck growing this land produces earlier vegetables and fruits than any other part of the United States. Even as early as the first of January the Mission truck growers ship to northern markets carloads of cauliflower, cabbage, string beans and peas. Onions grown at Mission net from $200 to $500 per acre. Table grapes ripen two months earlier than in California, are shipped to northern markets early in June, and are also 1,000 miles nearer these markets than the California raised grapes.
