I Indiana, Is full of town with; queer
name,' but tb queerest of them all
has so far been left to languish in un
deserved obecurity. -People who are
acquainted with that portion of dark
est Indiana which lies In the tmmedl
ta vlclnUx - of-rtSfawf ordsvllle must
hav ea-o tb aignboord of a little
railroad station as they rushed by en a
railroad train this astonishing name,
Wxawav'as' j:(-tf- A- -1
. Behind that apostrophe lies the story
of the Jokevfbich a rich old Indiana
farmer played on the directors of a
great railroad company.-' The farmer
in question owned aeveral thousand
acre of land in on body. When the
railroad wa built it was found neces
sary to .cut through his land. The
right of wtfy agents went to tbe old
farmer; and asked him .to set a price
on tbe strip running through his farm
a few bandred feet wide;
He htugned at them and said his
land w not for sale at any price.
Ho dldnt believe to railroads anyhow
and. dldn'twnnt one running through
his property. They offered him a huge
price for tbe land, for they had found
other property owner In the vicinity
reasonable and did not cure to start
any condemnation salts unless It was
absolutely necessary. But the old farm
er would not listen-to them. His In
come was twice as large as he cared to
spend, and h rather enjoyed the posi
tion of blocking tb efforts of a
great coiporottoa, .
Tbe claim -agents made up their
minds that they would have to start
a suit and were about ready to bring
it when: tney were surprised to get a
letter from the old farmer.
"If you'll let me nam the town you
are going to build on my land,-! be said.
"I'll give you all tbe land you need."
They accepted bis terms with glee.
Of ("OHi-ae they expected that bis vanity
Would todd blm to name tbe town after
himself, and they were quite prepared
for that emergency. Bt he fooled
them. A written agreement" vns drawn
up nnd signed and the deeds paused.
Then they asked hint for bis name,
Tbe old man grinned brondly.
"We'll cnll It HeUtowu." be said.
They argued with blm until they saw
It wm intuit-as. They could not back
out for the pnpere bad already been
signed. Tbvu tbey decided they would
get even lu another way. Tbey elided
the second, third and fourth letters of
tbe name nnd put lu their place au In

; "The skin is provided with millions of little pores
and glands .invisible to the natural eye, yet through
these tiny outlets the larger part of the deadly. matter
that daily collects in the body is carried off. But nature
never intended that poisons of an irritating or acid
character should be eliminated through the skin, the Liver and Kidneys being their natural
outlets, and it is when these important organs fail to perform their functions that these acid
poisons are absorbed into the blood and find their way to the surface of the body through the
pores and glands of the skin, producing intense itching and burning, inflammation and
swelling, and eruptions of every conceivable size, shape and character.
Skin Diseases differ greatly in their general characteristics and degrees of intensity.
Red and angry looking spots break out upon some part of the body with a mass of small
pustules or blisters, from which is discharged a clear or straw colored fluid, which dries and
flakes off in bran-like particles and scales, or forms into hard and painful sores and scabs.
The skin often hardens and dries, cracks and bleeds from the effects of the fiery acids,
..4 . '
wnicn tne blood is continually
throwing off. Pimples, black
heads and blotches are evidences
of a too acid blood, which has
inflamed and clogged the pores.
Skin Diseases being depend
ent upon the same causes require
the same treatment, which must
be constitutional and not external.
Nothing applied locally to the
inflamed surface can bring much
relief.
The disfiguring eruptions
will continue to annoy and
you in spite of soaps, washes or powders. There is v hope of getting rid of a skin disease
except through the purification of the depreciated bloud and neutralizing and filtering out of
thft circulation all poisonous substances and acids.
The purifying and tonic properties of S. S. S. soon manifest their influence in skin
affections; the debilitated system is invigorated and toned up, and the gradual disappearance
of the eruptions show that the polluted blood is being brougnt back to its natural purity and
strength. Old chronic skin disorders, which have resisted all the ordinary methods of
treatment, readilv vield to the curative
