About twenty building nnd loan managers and nttomeys gathered at the rooms of the stato executive council today to dlscucs the law relative to these concerns and to ugree upon a form of Incorporation artlclts, Tho hearing continued all day nnd adjourned to resume tomorrow morning. Tho hearing was Informal, being conversa tional Instead of taking the form of adi dresses and formal arguments. Two points only provoked disagreement. These related to fixing a time for tho withdrawal of stock and to the Issuanco of prepaid slock. Somo of those who were henrd ut the council meet ing said repeatedly that tho new law hid sapped tho life of tho building and loan companies and that they could never re cover, but must eventually liquidate and reorganlzo us local concerns exclusively. "Wo do not ngrco with this," said Mr. A. P. Fleming of tho Co-operntlvo Bank of Iowa. "We do not take any stock In that sort of talk. Tho new law docs not hurt our business a particle and we expect to go right on as we always have and adjust our selves to every part of the law as con strued by the, executive council." Mr. Vnll of Marsballtowu was especially emphatic about the effect of tho law.

Ex cept In a few places tho showers brought ample relief from tho drouthy conditions prevalent In portions of the northern sec tion. "Reports Indicate that the hay crop has been materially cut short of an average In I some portlcns of tho northern districts. The ! recent rnlns will greatly help pastures, but' camo too late to restore the meadows to their 1 normal condition. But In tho larger part j of the southern nnd central districts tho ( hay crop ranged from good to extra heavy, j the main drawback being tho partial loss of tho clover stand. In the southern section i clover cutting will bo In progress within a ! few dnys. "Nearly nil reports show very satisfactory progress In cultivating corn, and the gen eral condition of tho crop Is apparently above tho average of the last ten years. Oats show a tendency to become too rank In all sections where the moisture has been ex cessive. Other small grain crops are prom ising. Pastures are generally excellent.

Nothing is wo annoying and mortifying ns t muddy, rough nnd nimiily complexion, or a face disfigured by unsightly boils and nlaeklieads. Skin eruptions come from poisonous accumulations in the system, which have found their way into the blood and been carried to tho surface. Complexion wans, nowders and tonics not only do not cure, but are damnglng to the skin anil daiiRerous to health. You can not cure an internal disease with external remedies.

Many medicines were prescribed, but without result, until we decided to try H. H. H.,und by the time the first bottle was finished tho eruption began to disappear.
