c C C CURES
0.0. O. SKIN DISEASES
The cause of all skin diseases can be traced to some humor or acid in
the blood; the cuticle is always healthy where the circulation is free from
Impurities. When the "blood Is infected with acrid or unhealthy matter It
cannot perform its natural work of nourishing the skin, regulating its tem
perature and preserving its normal softness, pliability and bealthfulness.
Instead it irritates and inflames the delicate fibres and tissues around the
pores and glands and produces some of the many forms of skin disease.
The itching and stinging so often accompanying skin affections are produced
by the deposit from the blood of the-acrid humors with which it is filled,
into the sensitive membranous flesh lying just beneath the outer covering,
and surrounding the countless nerves, pores and glands. This explains why
scratching the outer skin affords no relief from the itching and burning.
6. S. 8. cures Skin Diseases of every character by purifying the blood. It
goes down into the circulation and removes the humors or acids which are
causing the trouble, builds up the weak, acrid blood, and permanently cures
every variety of skin affection. Local applications can only soothe; they
never cure because they do not reach the blood. S. 8. S. goes right into ths
circulation, reaches the trouble and cures it by removing the cause. Boole

Washiugtoo, Aug. 11. —A local police
judge has mounted a searchlight upon
his desk fo detect perjury. Long ex

4hat from the class of prisoners brought

J trustworthy testimony. Searching for
a cure for this evil he began to experi
ment with light. , •
An electric light with a strong re
flector was brought into use and as the
prisoners are brought to the witness
stand he turns on the impromptu search
light. Its strong rays enable rhe judge,
sitting iu the shadow, to follow every
facial expression of the offenders and
it is found that perjury has been great
ly reduced.
j. The judge, who is a student of crim
inology, reads the faces of his visitors

MEETING OF
GERMANS HAS
. OEEHILLEO
Branch of German-American
Alliance Will Be Organized
Here on August 19.
PROMINENT CITIZENS
BEHIND MOVEMENT
With the object of awakening and
strengthening the sens* of unity among
I the people of German origin in America,
j with a view to promote the useful and
I healthy development of the power in
i hcrent in them as a united body for the
i mutual energetic protection of such le
i gitimate desires and interests "hot in-
I .onsistent with the common good of the
1 country, and the rights of good citizens,
- a meeting of German American citizens
' of San Antonio will be held at Beetbo
van hall on the night of August 19 for
1 the purpose of organizing a branch of
। the German-American Alliance of the
1 United States of America.
The citizens interested in the move
meat are Hugo Moeller, C.’A. Goeth, F
Hensel, Ernst Dietzmanu, 'L. Windiin
ger, A. Horath, C. Runge and many
other prominent German-Auiericans.
The delegates to the convention from
the Turn Verein are as follows: Max
Baetz, C. Runge. B. J. Mauermann. J.
H. Schafer, Willjam Keller and Emil
Kuehn.
At the meeting to be held this month
officers will be elected for the ensuing
year and the new society wll be
launched on the high road of fraternal
ism.
Founded in New York City.
The Fraternal German American Al
liance of the United States of America j
was founded in New York city in 1900.
and now has thriving branches in the ।
principal cities of the country. Other 1
principles of the new order are to check
nativistic encroachments, to maintain
and safeguard the good friendly rela
tions existing between America and the
-old German fatherland. To read the <
history of German immigration, to be j
convinced how much it has contributed ।
to the advancement of the spiritual and I
economic development of this country,
and to realize what is still destined to
contribute, and how the German immi
grant has at all times stood by bis
adopted country in weal or in woe.
The Platform.
The platform of the alliance in part I
is as follows: The alliance, as such, j
refrains from all interference in party
politics, reserving, however, the right I
and duty to defend its principles, also i
in the political field, in case these,
should be attacked or endangered by I
political measures.
Questions and matters of religion are I
strictly excluded.
It recommends the introduction of the'
study of German >nto the public schools'
on the following broad basis: Along
with English, German is a world lan
guage; wherever the pioneers of civil
ization, trade and commerce have pene
trated, we find the people of both lan
guages represented.
Schools Out of Politics.
It further declares in favor of taking
the school out of politics, for only a
system 6t education that is free from
political influence can offer the people
real and satisfactory schools.
It calls on all Germans to acquire
the right of citizenship as soon as fbey
are legally entitled to it, to take an
active part in public life and to exer
cise their right at the polls fearlessly
and according to their own judgment.
It opposes any and every restriction
of immigration of healthy persons from
Europe, exclusive of convicted crimin
als and anarchists.
It favors the abolition qf antiquated
laws no longer in accordance with the
spirit of the times, which check free
intercourse and restrict the personal
freedom of the citizen.
It is expected that the meeting will
be well attended from the fact that the
population of San Antonio is one-third
German and that the best element is be
hind the movement.

CORONER WILL
HOLD INQUEST
Will Inquire Into Doctor's
Reason for Leaving House of
Dead Patient Hurriedly,
Associated Press.
New York, Aug. 11.—The sudden and
excited departure of Dr. J. Phillip Suss
man from the apartment of Mrs. Abra
ham Lazarowitz in an east side tene
mnt bforc daylight today was explained
later by the doctor to Coroner Harbur
ger as being occasioned by his fear that
the woman and her husband would at
tack him when they learned of the
death of a sixteen-year-old son whom
the doctor was attending. Dr. Sussmun
was called upon to perform an opera
tion on the boy’s knee, and to do so, he
said, he bad administered chloroform.
Before he was ready to operate, how
ever, he discovered that the boy had j
died while under the influence of the;
chloroform.
‘‘I know how excited those families
become on such an occasion,” the doc
tor is reported to have told the coroner,
‘‘and I left the house, telling the moth
er that I was going for my instruments.
Had I remained there until they dis
covered that he was -lead, they and the
neighbors would have mobbed me.”
When the doctor did not return to
the house iu half an hour the mother
discovered that her son was dead and
called in the police. The coroner will
hold an inquest.
Children Die
After “Witch
Doctors" Treat
Associated Press.
I Reading, Pa., Aug. 11.—Coroner
I Strasser is busy on the case of six in
fants who have died since noon yester
day after alleged treatment by “witch
doctors” for summer complaint. He
has reported the matter to the district
attorney.
Reading is known for many witch
doctors and there have been cases in
court time and again of people who
claimed that neighbors “verbexed”
them. No sooner does a child become
ill in this section than the neighbors
rush in and declare the child “ver
hexed.” The result is that a pow-wow
doctor and incantations are sought.
Several of the children who died
were simply mumbled over while a red
eotton cord was passed over the body.
In other cases a bag containing
“charmed words” was hung about the
neck. ,
