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

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.

payers ot the country more than has
ever been thought of
, The tlilK of Costa filca. with its seen,
lo beauty of mountains and sea, is an
other extravagant emblem, costing
something like $50 to complete. 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
