REMOVES
BLOOD HUMORS
THE OKLAHOMA of ATE CAPITAL, TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 23 1907.
, ^Vhen the t>!ood pure and healthy the skin will be soft, smooth and
free fron- eruptions but when the blood becomes infected with some un-
healthy humor the effect is shown by rashes, eruptions, boils and pimples,
or other disfiguring and annoying skin disease. The skin is provided with
countless pores and glands which act as a drainage system to rid the body
of impurities through the perspiration that is constantly passing through
these little tubei. .There are other glands that pour out on the skin an oik-
substance to keep it soft and pliable. When the blood becomes filled with
humors and acids these are thrown off through the pores and glands,
burning and irritating the skin and drying up the natural oils so that we
have not only Acne Eczema, Salt Rheum, etc., but such drv, scaly skin
affections as Tetter, Psoriasis and kindred troubles. The treatment of skin
troubles with salves, washes, lotions, etc. is not along the right line True
such treatment relieves some of the itching and discomfort and aids in keep-
ing the skin clear but it does not reach the real cause of the trouble, which
are humors in the blood, and it can therefore have no real curative effect on
these skill affections. S. S. S., a gentle acting and perfect blood purifier is
the best and .quickest treatment. It goes down into the blood and removes
the humors, fiery acids and poisons from the circulation, cools the overheat--
ed blood, and by sending a fresh stream of nourishing blood to the skin
permanently cures skin diseases of every character. S. S. S. is made entirely
• i health producing roots, herbs and barks, and is an absolutely safe remedy
forjoungor old. S. S. S. cures Eczema, Acne, Salt Rheum, Tetter Pso-
hasis, and all other disagreeable and unsightly eruptions of the skin. Special
book on Skin Diseases and any medical advice desired furnished free to all

Oklahoma City, Okla., April, 22.—
The first annuul convention of the
Oklahoma Electric Light. Railway and
(.•as Association, composed of mana-
gers of electric light and gas o ces
in the new state, was held here today.
The convention was called to order
by president F. H. Tidnain of this
city and during the day addresses
were made by secretary Galen Crow
of Guthrie, J. L. Ellis of this city,
J. H. Merrill, South McAlester. W.
J. Dlbbenns of Guthrie, and J. C.
Walton. Tonight the Sons of Jove,
the fraternal organization of electri-
cal men of the country, held their an-
nual meeting and .initiated a number
of candidates. The convention will
adjourn tomorrow, following the elec-
tion officers. A trolley riide about Coming-on-Cold.

would your Watch, Pocket-knife or Lead-
OU can buy Health Insurance now.
Several good "Accident"
Companies sell it.
Sixty dollars per year will
bring you $25.00 per week, for every week
you are sick.
But, your time alone may be worth far
more than that.
And $200 per week might not pay for
your suffering.
That's why "Cascaret" Insurance, which
prevents Sickness, is worth ten times as
much money as other "Health" insurance.
Yet "Cascaret" Insurance will cost you
less than Ten Cente a week.
That gives you a "Vest Pocket" Box to
carry constantly.

One tablet taken whenever you suspect

Because 90 per cent of these ills begin

Cascarets don't purge, don't weaken,
don't irritate, nor upset your stomach.
No, — they act like Exercise on the

Hupe recently of Topeka Kansas charg-

panecea so assessed him $25 and trim-
ings amounting to $37.93.

the docket. The wife was moved to tears
in contemplation of what had been done.

A Greater

Than the Panama Canal
That's what New York's $161,000,000 water sys-
tem amounts to! The whole story 0/ this world's-
wonder is told in the' New Broadway Magazine for
May.
It is this sort of New York affairs of natioaal
importance that this most readable of magazines is
treating with such enormous success every month.
Another example of the New Broadway's scope
and purpose is "Christian Scicncc in New York,"
which, in the May number, tells
New Facts About
Christian Science
Not theories, nor arguments for or against—just
plain facts as to what the movement is doing right
now in America's metropolis.
Another typical Broadway article tells the story of
The Most Beautiful
Woman in New York
.Who she - is. and how her beauty is the gift o'
famous generations.
"IS NEW YORK CITY BANKRUPT?'*
tells of New York's appalling indebtdness.
"CHILDHOOD IN NEW YORK"
is a study of little lives that every mother and
. father will want to read
"THE FICKLENESS OF NEW YORKH
echoes amusingly the fall of many heroes from their
pedestals.
The May Broadway Magazine" is simply alive with
wholesome, compelling interest. Besides these fea-
tures mentioned there are
Short Stories by such matters aa O. Henry, Seutnas
MacManui, Edward Clark Msrik, Owen Oliver. John
Kendrick Bang*, Juliet Wilbur Tompkin*, Jeannettu
