The blood does not contain the necessary quantity of rich, red corpuscles, and Is therefore a weak, watery stream which cannot afford sufficient nourishment to sustain the system in ordinary health. A poorly nourished body cannot resist disease, and this explains why so many persons are attacked by a spell of sickness when the use of a good tonlo would have prevented the trouble. In S. 8. S. will be found both blood-cleansing and tonio qualities combined. It builds up weak constitutions by removing all impurities and germs from the blood, thus supplying a certain means for restoring strength and Invigorating the system. The healthful,- vegetable ingredients of which B. S. S. is composed make It splendidly fitted to. the needs of those systems which are delicate from any cause. It is Nature's Perfect Tonio, free from all harmful minerals, a safe and pleasant acting medicine for persons of every age. S. 8. 8. rids the body of that tired, worn-out feeling so common at this season, Improves the appetite and digestion, tones up the stomach, acts with pleasing effects on the nervous system, and reinvlgorates every portion of the body.

PRACTICAL SCHOOL WORK THEME OF SPEAK Ell.. Development of Form and Enhancing -Practical Value of School System. That the school children of Oregon are to be award?JJ20.000 In prizes this year for their skill In growing agricultural produce and making use ful articles; that 88 local or county children's fairs will be held through out the state; and that 60,000 Oregon boys and girls will take some part In the work this year were Borne of the facts presented this niternoon at the Chautauqua by Calvin C. Thomason of Salem, field manager for the chlldren'r statewide contest. The culmlnatlou of this series of fairs will be In the state fair where a prize list valued at $3,500 has been prepared. "We have gained for Oregon some valuable publicity through the con-, test movemen.. at least 800 columns of space being given to it from the Saturday Evening Post and the New York American down to the smallest country weeklies. Eight hundred out of the .1,000 Oregon ministers have preached sermons of the work. Grang es, county superintendents, teachers and commerclalclubs have given ns their hearty co-operation. "Two chief benefits to the children hlch accrue from this practical work Is that it gives them new Interest lu their school work and Inspires them with a sense of the true dignity of manual labor. The children are not overworked in their school, but rather underlnterested. We tell the boys and girls success In life, depends not upon, what profession they enter, but how well they do the work which they choose. The boy corn grower o' the south who raised an average of 133 bufihelfl to the acre on land from which their fathers had been getting but 20 bushels have Initiated a re form as great as that accomplished by the emancipation proclamation of Lincoln, for Lincoln freed the negroes but these boys lna measure have freed the southern farmers from their poverty methods of farming. ; "Greater than all the material bene fits derived from agricultural and In dustrial work in the schools Is the character building Influence It exerts As the tree grows toward the cless blue In a symmetrical fashion unlets acted upon by violent external agen cies, so the young people will under the proper environment naturally grow Into noble character. The vic tories of the American athletes at Stockholm is a good omen. It shows us that we are biologically strong. Let's add another stone to the founda tion of our government by placing a good system of practical training lu our public schools." SH0OTEHS KILL BIRDS.
