LA GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER. WEDNESDAY, MAY 1, 1912. PAGE THREE i 4 I I1 i (5 O Q)t9V The usual symptoms of Scrofula are enlarged glands of the neok, ores and ulcers on the body, skin affections, catarrhal troubles, weak eves, and general poor health. The inherited poison, transmitted through the blood, pollutes and weakens this fluid, and in plaoe of its nutritive dualities fills the circulation with scrofulous matter, which saps the vitality of the entire system. Thousands of children, born with a scrofulous taint, have spent their childhood in constant physloal suffering, and grown to manhood or. womanhood handicapped by ill health and stunted growth, and perhaps later tome disease of the bones or Joints developed. . 8. 8. S., given In their early life, would have prevented this. It would have cleansed and purified the blood of the taint, nourished and stengthened their systems, and assisted each to grow into strong, healthful manhood or womanhood. S. 8. 8. is the very best remedy for Sorofula. It goes down to tbi bottom of the trouble, and cleanses the circulation of all sorofulous matter. . It supplies the weak, diseased blood with strength and health-building qualities, and under the purifying effects of this great remedy all symptoms of Sorofula pass away. B.,8. 8. contains no minerals in any form, and Is an absolutely safe treatment for children, even Infants, or persons of any age. Literature about Sorofula tmd any medical advica gT t?

Abont half of thl vast pile of 'flags consists of emblems of foreign natlona. Tbe maklos of tbe Sag equipment for toe ' nary coeta more than $00,000 a year. , Each ship carries forty-three foreign flags, which are thirteen feet wide by twenty-Ore feet long. As a ship's qnota of flag la renewed jvery three years It la no small under taking to keep them replenished, and to this end Dncle Sam keepa a large flag making establishment running at fall time tbe year around at the Brooklyn, navy' yard: ' Employed there are aome hundred skilled needlewomen working, cutting the' different colored bantings Into the required widths and sewing them together. Making tbe United States flag Is not a difficult Job. but the making of some of the foreign em blems la quite a different matter, and this Is what most of tbe work at the flag establishment consists of.' Take, for example, tbe flag of Ban Salvador In tbe background there is ! a belching volcano pouring forth Its I lava and white smoke. On the sides 1 of tbe mountain is tbe green foliage .' and Bhruhery. while directly in' the foreground is a tranquil sea of aap phlre blue. .Above tbe volcano is a , rising sun set' in a design of overflow ing cornucopias and a diamond from which the rays are scintillating in ev ery direction. To the left and right of the belcliluR mountain are draped in 1 varied designs banners which bear a similarity to the . stars and stripes.

So it seems that the smaller tbe nation the more costly Its flag. The largest flag made by the United States is tbe Ensign No. 1. which meas ures thirty-six feet loug and nineteen feet wide. The cost of this monster is $40 or thereabouts. Tbe president's flag, while' not' the largest by any means, takes longest to make, requiring the labor of one per son for a month to complete it It is of simple design, being a blue field with the coat of arms of the Ontted States in the center. The life sized eagle with outstretched wings and other emblems are ail hand embroid ered and involve the most patient work. The embroidery silk used on this flag, which is fourteen by ten Teet, costs $! a pound. ' Uncle Sam's flag emporium is in charge of his flagmaster. whose busl, ness. amonji other thlmts. Is to test all tbe biinttns bought by the establish ment. Oue day a sample lot of bunt Ing Is soiiked and waslied In soap and fresh water, the next day the same process Is followed. with salt wnter. It Is then exposed to the weather for ten days, thirty hours of which time must be'ln tho sunlight This Is termed the color and fading test. Another test Is always made for the" tensile strength. A strip of, the warp two Inches wide Is placed lu a machine and must stand a pulling strain of sixty-live pounds, while two inches of the tilling must stand a forty-five pound strain. All over the floor of tbe workshop are arranged chalk lines and metal markers by tbe aid of which the flags are cut out Large stripes and cer tain designs can be more conveniently stitched this way. Tbe sewing Is done by women on machines run by elec tric motors. it Is an Interesting sight to see the big machine at work cutting out stars for the United States flags. It Is the only machine of Its kind In this conn try. It consists of a plunger Htted wltb steel knives the size of the star wanted, and with a single downward stroke it lays on a table 100 stars There are eight different sizes of stnrs used for the different flags, and of course tbe machine Is provided wltb the eight ' different' dies for the pur pose. Until recent years these stars were cut out by band, wblcb was a long and tedious task.- but now a day's work of the machine will supply stars for a week's work on flags. Harper's IVeekly.
