Thirteen Reasons Explaining Popularity of
the “ Anvhor" CUmp.
A great deal is heard now about the
“ anchor” fences that have sprung
into wide popularity of late.
It is
claimed that they arc the clieu{K**t
and most durable fences on earth,
hence their general adoption.
Mi
nute inquiry into details of construc
tion reveals the fact that “ anchor”
clam jus hold (rivet tight! the large
win's of which the fence i* made, thus
making the fence five times as strong
and durable as any other fence on the
market.
The manufacturers, The Portland
Anchor Fence Co., 742 Nicolai street,
Portland, Or., give a fq!l baker’s
dozen reasons why the “ anchor”
clamp is so efficient:
1. It is made of the best hoop steel,
therefore is strong and durable.
2. It is simple; can lie applied by
any one.
3. It does what other ties pretend
to do— makes an immovable anchor.
4. It prevents loose and sagging
wires.
5. It keejxv a fence always in rejwir.
fi. It prevents injury to stock.
7. It makes a fence that stock can
not break down.
8. It can be used on smooth or
barbed wire.
9. It can lie use«! for making new
or repairing old fences.
10. It is the only tie yet d«-vis«-d by
which a fence can be made in any
manner desired, or repaired without
rebuilding.
j 11. It makes the BEST and most
durable fence on the market.
12. IT IS CHEAP.

What S. S. S. Does
fo r Children
Children are constantly exposed to all sorts of dis
eases. The air they breathe is filled with germs, sewer
gas and dust from the filthy streets are inhaled into the
lungs and taken into the blood. A t the crowded school
rooms and other public places they come in contact
almost daily with others recovering from or in the first
stages of contagious diseases. You can’t quarantine
against the balance of the world, and the best you can
do is to keep their blood in good condition, and thus
prevent or at least mitigate the disease. You have
perhaps learned from observation or experience that
healthy, robust children (and this means, of course,
children whose blood is pure) are not nearly so liable to
contract diseases peculiar to them, and when they do it
is generally in a mild form. On the other hand, weak,
emaciated and sickly ones seem to catch every disease
that comes along. This is because their blood is lack
ing in all the elements necessary to sustain and build
up the body. Poisons o f every description accumulate
in the system, because the polluted and sluggish blood
is unable to perform its proper functions.
Such children need a blood purifier and tonic to give
strength and vitality to their blood, and S. S. S ., being a
purely vegetable remedy, makes it the safest and best Tor
the delicate constitutions o f children, S. S. S. is not only
a perfect blood medicine, but is pre-eminently the tonic
for children; it increases their appetites and strengthens
the digestion and assimilation o f food. If your child
ren have any hereditary or acquired taint in their blood,
give them S. S. S. and write to our physicians for any
information or advice wanted ; this w ill cost you noth
ing, and w ill start the little weaklings on the road to
recovery. Book on Blood and Skin Diseases free.
