WOMEN-WRITERS SHOCKED Give Vp Secret PostofXlce Soxes Rather Than Give Rererences. SEATTLEJ, Wash.. April 3. (Speclal.) Consternation reigns among the renters of a certain class of private boxes In the local postoftlce. since on April 1 an order was Issued by the officials of the Seattle office that references must be furnished by all holders of postoffice BLOOD AND SKIN DISEASES Caused by Impurities and Bacteria in the Blood. That the blood Js a natural antiseptic and powerful germ destroyer is a fact recognised by all leading medical men. There are certain cells in the blood whose sole mission Is to keep It free from impurities, and which seem to have nothing tn particular to do on ordinary occasions but to float about on the blood tides, and wander through the various channels and tissues of tho body watching other cells work. Wut the moment those cells come upon, a foreign particle, disease germ or impurity in the blood or fragment of worn-out celjs, they pounce upon it, wrap themselves around it. and either digest or destroy It, or carry It off to a safe place of deposit, either within the tissues or without. A great deal of lore has accumulated about these wandering scavengers of the blood, and they seem to be of great importance in many ways, and are known to medical men as phagocytes. Whenever the blood becomes very im pure and tha number of germa within it are large, the phagocytes are vastly increased numerically, a condition known as phagocytosis. Thus a tierce struggle between the germs and the phagocytes rages. The phagocytes usually win out and destroy the germs, but it sometimes happens that the phagocytes are completely overwhelmed by numbers, so rapid is tho increase of germs and blood impu rities. STUARTS CALCIUM WAFERS are the most powerful germicides, anti scorbutics and alteratives, or blood pu rifiers il the United States Pharmaco poea. When the phagocytes are over come by disease germs and blood Im purities, these wonderful little wafers, when taken into the system, exert a cleansing, germ-destroying and purify ing effect on the blood, assisting the phagocytes in driving all foreign mat ter from the system, thus freeing It from all skin and blood diseases, and so rapid and efficient Is the work of purification performed that a complete change for the better Is noticed in a remarkably short time. Stuart's Calcium Wafers should be in every homo. Every one needs a blood purifier occasionally at least.
