the chances are that he will be elect

that Mr. Bryan is no more radical
than President Roosevelt.
The change in public opinion of
Mr. Brj'an in the past eleven years
is remarkable. No other public man
in our history was ever more reviled
than he was in 189G. Defeated then,
and again in 1900, lie has emerged
from the ruin of his fortunes and
stands today perhaps the n.ost wide

Cleveland. His election to tile presi

have been regarded as a caldmity,
today would be received generally
with equanimity by the people. Chi

wafers contain as their main ingre
dient, the most thorough, quick and
effective blood-cleanser known, cal
cium sulphide.

in their results, and besides, many of
them are poisonous. Stuart's- Cal

drug of any kind; they are absolute
ly harmless, and yet do work which,

other skin eruption, you can get rid
of them long before other treatments
can even begin to show results.
Don't go around with a humiliat
ing, disgusting mass of pimples and
blackheads on your face. A face cov
ered over with these disgusting
things makes people turn away from
you, and breeds failure in your life
work. Stop it. Read what an Iowa
man said when he woke up one morn
ing and found he had a new face:
"By George, I never saw anything:

years trying to get rid of pimples
and blackheads, and guess I used
everything under the sun. I used
