es <2 Town Talk Tablets A beautiful skin, either in man or woman, a skin free from pimples, blotches, blackheads, sores, patch- es, red spots, nd the oily» and greasy appearfince common to some, is a treasurable possession. About one person in every five has an unsightly face, purely on ac- count of the diseased condition of the blood. : 3 Mrs. Pauline Gibson of New Rochelle, N, Y., says: “For years I suffered humiliation from the condition of my face which never seemed free-from little boils and pimples, It looked _ ter- rible and felt worse. I tried all Kinds of washes and ointments with no relief, I took every sort of med- icine advertised as a cure, but my face remained unsightly. My physi- cian said it was my blood, but whatever they gave me only seemed to make it worse. Really I gave up in despair, I didn’t know what to do FAT FOLKS LEARN HOW TO REDUCE YOUR. WEIGHT A Simple, Safe, Reliable Way. People who are over-burdened with superfluous fat, know only too well the discomfort and ridicule that over- stout people have to bear, If you are carrying around 5 or 10/ pounds of unhealthy fat you are un- necessarily weakening your vital om gans and are carrying a burden which destroys the beauty ef your figure. There is no need of anyone suffering from superfluous fat. If you want to reduce your weight in a simple, safe and reliable way, without starvation, diet or tiresome exercise, spend as much time as you can in the open air, breathe deeply and get from any good druggist a box of tassco; take one tab- jet after each meal and one before re- tiring at night. Weigh yourself once a week so as to know just how fast you are losing weight and don’t leave off the treat- ment or even skip a single dose until | you are down to normal, | Tassco is absolutely harmless, Is! pleasant to take, helps digestion and | is designed to consume the excessive fatty tissue by increasing the oxygen- | carrying power of the blood, Even a few days’ treatment should show a noticeable reduction in weight, foot- steps become lighter, your work seem easier and lighter and more buoyant | HAD PIMPLES. ; _cured, only medicine that with myself. One day a friend told @ about Town Talk Tablets and I told her I would try them. I got a bottle, and the effect they had upon Mme was wonderful. Almost immed- jately the pimples commence to disappear and. my skin became clearer, I continued until I had taken six bottles and I was thor- pughly» cured, My general health, too, improved from the beginning, and today 1 am a healthy, happy woman, with a clear skin, free from sore or disfigurement, a proof of the far-reaching effects of Town Talk Tablets.” - This is the way they work on ev- eryone whose. blood is impregnated with disease or impure matter. They absorb all the germs and car- ry them out of the system, Try them today for any form of dis- eased blood, bad complexion or skin, and watch the marvelous ac- tion. $1.00 a bottle, Mailed by Home Relief Laboratories, Boston, Mass.

OH MY STOMACH “I had stomach trouble so badly that nothing I ate would digest as it should,” said Sadie E. Hamilton, Port- land, Me., as she began a remarkable story of the relief she has _ secured from Argo-Phosphate, the new recon- structive, stomach tonic and system purifier. “Everything that I ate would le in my stomach like a lump,” she ex- plained. “Gas would form and I would suffer distress all the time. I got so 1 could hardly keep anything down. ‘Trying to get relief, I had my stomach pumped out, but even this did not help me_as I continued just as bad. “I kept hearing so much about Argo- Phosphate that I thought maybe it might help me and I decided to try It. I have taken two bottles and to my surprise I am already feeling fine. I can eat anything and I am not troub- led at all. « “I am completely rid of my old stom- ach trouble that I had for three years. I have not felt so well for years and I] am certainly glad to endorse Argo- Phosphate because I want others to be helped by this wonderful medicine.” “The spirit of wanting to help others is what makes suffering men and wo- men give these splendid public en- dorsements of Argo-Phosphate,” sald a local druggist, ‘ Sheriff's Sale in Partition.

House amend- ments to the Daylight Saving Billi, requiring the timepieces ‘to be ad- vanced one hour beginning the last Sunday in March, wete adopted by the Senate. The change in time will remain in effect until the last Sunday in Octo- ber, when the clocks will be turned back again. Millions of dollars atmually will be saved to the country by putting the plan into effect, according to its sup- porters. Approximately 40 million dollars alone will be saved in the Na- tions lighting’ bill, it is declared. In urging acceptance of the House amendments in the Senate today Sen- ator Calder, the bill's author, declared the only change the bill would make in economical conditions would be te give every one an extra hour of day- light each day. The bill, he said, will prove to be one of the most import- ant conservation measures ever, en- acted by Congress, The general plan proposed was adopted-last year in many European countries with marked success and has the approval of virtually all in- dustries and commercial establish- ments in thé United States, Its adop- tion is urged particularly by the na- tional war garden commission for its value to war gardeners, The cqm- mission in a statement estimating the number of war gardeners at 3 million, Says: “In seven months of twenty-six days each there will tbe an addition of 546 million hours to the working time of city, town and village garden ers. Thi equivalent to 68 1-4 mil!- lion days of eight hours each, or 186,- 986 years.” An Old Settler Passes Away. 5 Andrew J.

Following the removal of Mayor Hoan, four other ‘socialist members of the defense council were voted out of that body. The platform which the members of the County Council of Defense ob- ject to and for which Hayor Hoan Stands, contains a plank which reads as follows: A : “The American people did not want and do not want this war. They were plunged into this abyss by the treach- ery of the ruling class of the country —its demagoge agitators, its bought press, its sensational photoplays, its lying advertisements and other pur- chasable instruments of public expres- sion” Commercial Club Meeting.

RENEWED TESTIMONY | No one in Butler who suifers back- | ache, headaches, or kidney and blad- | der ills can afford to 1gnore this But- ler woman's twice-told story. It is confirmed testimony that no Butler resident can doubt. Mrs. John Stewart, 407 Vine St. says: “I had kidney trouble and rheumatic twinges for about a year. The pains in my back were constant and felt as if someone were trying to pull me in pieces. My head ached, I felt sick and weak and just fairly dragged myself around. I got a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills at Clay’s Drug Store and they gave me great help. I continued taking them and they re- stored my strength. I had a better appetite, my weight increased and my health became better.” (Statement given September 11, 1911.) On April 28, 1916, Mrs. Stewart said: “I shall never stop recom- mending Doan’s Kidney Pills to any- one who needs a good kidney medi+ cine, They have never failed to put my kidneys in fine condition.” . Price 60c at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Stewart has twice publicly rec- ommended. Foster-Milburn. Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N.
