11 1909 The Way to Cure All Skin Diseases YEAR IN The Prescription Is Simple: Purify the Blood by Using Stuart's Calcium. TIIE SUNDAY OREGONIAIf, TORTMND. JANUARY 23, 1910. , REMARKABLE GERMANY Annual Reviews Show. Nation Made Great Strides in All Lines of Activity. GREAT DEMAND FOR LABOR Aside From Native Workers, Indus tries of Empire Necessitated tlie Employment of Over a Million Foreign Laboring Men. BERLIN, Jan. 22. (Special.) Review ing in the Kreuz Zeltung the political oc currences of the year 1909, Professor Schlemann writes very optimistically of Germany. He says: "Germany has in the course of this year maintained her firm position from every point of view. For our colonies it was a year of rich. blessing, and we look forward to their further development With confidence. It is also the year that iias given us an aerial navy such as no other country has anything to compare. "We have not allowed uproar from the right or left," he continues, "to Inter fere with us In carrying out our plans. Although we have improved our relations with France, we by no means share the Illusions of the peace bagmen, and we seek no agreements -where mutual inter ests are not respected. Our country has become richer; we hope that it has at the same time become stronger and more capable. Nobody works so much and with such conscientious effort as the German people. Tribute to Von Buelow. "We shall overcome the Parliamentary crisis, as we overcome the 'Chancellor crisis. During the years in which Prince von Buelow was responsible, as Secre tary of State and as Imperial Chancellor, for Germany's policy, he promoted the interests of his country in a manner which Germans will never forget. Every place that becomes vacant in the great state is, however, quickly filled again, and we are confident that In this case also it is well filled." "What 30 years of protection of na tional work has done for us" is a fav orite topic in the German newspapers. The "Hamburger Nachrlchten" shows that one of the great results Is an extra ordinary Increase in the number of per sons who are berugstatig that ' is who earn their livelihood in some deflnito trade, business, or profession. According to official statistics the number of such persons in Germany was, in 1882, 17, 632.000; in 1895, 20,771.000; and in 1907, 26,837,000; that is to say, 39. 40.12, ana 43.46 per cent, respectively of the total population. Great Demand for Labor. "If the number of such persons had In creased proportionately with the growth of the population their number in 1907 would have been 2,750,000 less, and, - nevertheless, as the Hamburg Journal points out, Germany has not been able to Bupply her own demand for workers. "The Immigration of workers from for eign countries ha3 increased as follows: In 1880 there were about 300,000 foreign ers 'earning their livelihood In Germany; In 1890 there were 433.000; in 1895, 451, C00; In 1900, 779,000; and In 1905, 1,029, 000 that is to say, 1.7 per cent of the whole population." The Hamburger Nachrlchten shows that Germany has more foreigners work ing in her midst than any other country except France, which has 1,037,800. Eng land, it says, has only 97,003 foreigners employed In her trades and industries, Of these foreigners working in Germany in 1905, 626,000 were Austrlans; 100,000 were Dutchmen, and about the same number Italians; 60,000 were Swiss, 20 000 were English, the same number French, and about the same number Americans. These figures do not include the so-called "season" workers, who cross the frontiers to help with the harvests, but represent foreigners who are settled in Germany. Oil DOG, TRIAL HANGS CANINE'S LOVE OP MONEY RAISES LEGAL POSER. St. Louis Animal Chews Up Twenty Dollar Bill Meant to Pay Rent to Owner. ST. LOUIS. Mo., Jan. 20. If a land lord's pet dog chews up and swallows a tenant's 20 bill, with which the ten ant had hoped to pay his rent, shall the tenant be required to make good the loss or shall the landlord Teturn him the dif ference between the. $20. bill and rent, which is til, and is the landlord's dog a responsible agent to receive money? These and other questions will have to be decided by Justice of the Peace George W. Kiechmann. The landlord .Involved is Mrs. Emma Madson, and the tenant Joseph Bauman. The dog's name is Spitz. Mrs. -Madsen brought suit to force Bauman to pay 111 rent.' due November 17. Bauman refuses to pay the $11, de clarlng Spitz grabbed a J20 bill which had been given his 3-year-old son Metta with which to pay the rent. Spitz chewed the money and swallowed It, or in some other manner caused Its disappearance, Bauman asserts. He insists that Instead of him owing Mrs. Madsen $11 she owes him $9, the difference between the amount of the rent and the $20 bill. The Baumans have refused to move until the case 1b decided. Mrs. Bauman, accompanied by her son Metta, went to the downstairs flat to pay the rent on November 17. She had in her hand the $20 bill. Before she knocked on the door, according to the story of Mrs. Bauman, she gave the pill to her little boy, who asked her to let him pay the money. "I gave the money to Metta," said Mrs. Bauman. "and when Mrs. Madsen opened the door I was nearly scared out of my wits by her pet dog. Spitz, who Jumped at the face of Metta. After I had scared the dog away the boy hollered to me to catch the dog, who had the $20 bill in his mouth. "I followed the dog down the back steps into the yard, and after a chase captured him. I pried open his mouth with my apron, but found no trace of the bill. It was a windy day, and if he dropped "it anywhere In the yard, of course, the -wind would have blown away." . Mrs. Bauman and Mrs. Madsen searched everywhere, but failed to find the bill The dog was then given a dose of Ipecac, but all to no purpose. ALt. ffauroan said tn dax later A Trial Package Sent Free. If people only realized the utter absurdity of attempting to cure a pim ply, blotchy, unsightly complexion by means of the many irrational and Il logical methods employed in "beauty narlors." and also in the boudoir, thou sands of dollars which are wastea every year literally thrown away j would be saved, and the complexion .. rendered clear and free from blemishes j through constitutional treatment, at about one-tenth of one. per cent of the j cost of the fancy and exceedingly expensive local " treatments." J The Idea -of massaging the cheeks, l and attempting to rub in a so-called i skin-food," is the 'height of nonsense. . Nature never intended the skin to be , fed from the outside, ,but from the in- lde exclusvlely, and it is the biooa ""which really feeds the skin, builds it up and supplies it with nutriment ab- orbed from the digestive system. There is really "no such thing as a skinrfood," any more than there is a "heart-food," or "lung-food," or a brain-food." The skin Is a water-proof, air-proof envelope over the muscular system, and it has no power to absorb cold creams, or any other medicaments when rubbed over Its surface. While, of course, steaming the face, or mas saging with electricity, or by hand, will draw the blood temporarily to he surface and produce an artificial glow, which may last half an hour or but such treatment brings no last- ng benefit, and will never cute wrin kles, pimples, pustules, blackheads, or other facial blemishes. Besides, the frequent treatment of the skin-In the way wrhich "beauty doc tors" have those kneading, rubbing. 'cooking" methods, making the face for the time being as red as a boiled obster, also have the very undesirable effect of increasing and strengthening the hair-growth on the cheeks. The only logical treatment in ac quiring and maintaining a perfect com plexion, devoid of all blemishes, such as blotches, pimples, roughness, chap ping, scaly patches, etc., is to go after these troubles from the inside to strike at the foundation, the origin of the complaints and that means, in other words, to thoroughly purify the blood, by using STUART'S CALCIUM WAFERS. These powerful little wafers as soon as taken into the system, exert their wonderful, blood-purify Ing effects, and they never let up for a moment, until every atom of impurity in the blood is eliminated, and, in addition to that, they also build up the blood, and strengthen the circulation through the skin's surface, and thus render wrin kles and skin blemishes impossible of existence.

Madsen came up to her and told her she would allow her credit for the $20 bill. which would go toward payment on two months' rent, up to January 17, if Mrs. Bauman would give her $2 mere, making the sum $22, equal to the two months' rent. Later, Mrs. Bauman says her land lady refused to assent to this, giving as a reason that she had changed her mind after talking with some one else. Mrs. Madsen said she did not see how Spitz could in any way be held respon sible for the $20 bill. 'I never saw the bill," said Mrs.. Mad sen. "Her little boy made the statement that his mother had the money hid some where about her. I did not agree to al low her the one month free If she would pay me $11 December. 17. I will let them stay If they pay the $11 and costs." Mrs. Madsen declared Mrs. Bauman told her she had $20 more which she had -saved up but refused to use m paying the rent. Mrs. Madsen Is a widow and Is said to own considerable property. Her nephew is proprietor of an ice company, Mr. Bauman is a carpenter. Spitz, a white Spitz dog, is quite' a favorite with the neighborhood children and Is very good natured. Edwin Mad sen, son of - Mrs. Madson, said the dog would play with anybody. He is fond of carrying things in his mouth. THIEVES TELL POOR STORY Purse-Snatcbers Say They Only Ran Because Friend Was Running. PARIS, Jan. 22. (Special.) Mme.
