The healthy color of the skin is piven to it' by the millions of little ted
corpuscles in the blood. These are the carriers of nourishment, health and
strength to all parts of the body in other words the very life of the
blood. When the genus of Malaria get into this vital fluid they destroy
these corpuscles and rob the blood of its rich, lifes-ustaiiiing qualities, ren
dering it thin, weak and watery and unaMe to supply the system with the
needed strength to resist disease. Then the symptoms cf Malaria such as
pale, sallow complexions, weak vitality, poor appetite, deranged digestion, a
general "let down" condition of the system, and perhaps chills and slight
fever, show that this insidious disease is gradually affecting the entire health.
Malaria must be removed from the system through the circulation, and the
medicine to accomplish this is S. S. S. It n,t only cleanses the blood of all
Impure, unhealthy matter, but rids the system of Malaria, and restores the
blood to a strong, healthy condition. S. S. S., besides removing the germs
of Malaria, builds up and gives tone and vigor to the entire system by its
fine tonic effects. Malaria is a blood discr.se, and S. S. S. cures it because
it is a perfect blood purifier. Book on the blood and anv medical advice

Fncllsh capitalists, holds an option on

deal goes fhrnugh Jhe sum of J2.000,
Ofli in cash will be paid for the same.
The gem was found In the Tremler
mine, near Pretoria, by a Mr. Wells,
the surface manager. The stone was
imbedded in the yellow ground abont
1! feet from the surface and was dis
covered on January 25. t!"i5. Its ex
rut weight Is .102 1 karats, or one
and seven-ninths pounds troy. The
dimensions are about 4x4tAxlVi
Inches.
The gem Is said to be only a por
tion of r much larger stone, the orig
inal size of which Is a matter of con
lecture. Four pieces of the original
have been broken off aiong cleavage
planes, which are known to have the
position of octahedral planes. Each
of these fragments were undoubtedly
of considerable size.
The stone, according to the descrip
tion given bv experts, is quite color

of the variety known as hyalite. There
value of the stone as a gem.
It Is the purest of all the big dia
monds and has an appraised value of
?5. 000.000, while the Insurance for
protection costs f 15.000 a year. So
far. It has been Impossible to find a
turcnaser at the appraised value, as
no one cares about parting with mil
lions Just for the honor of porsesslng
a stone that would keep their lives In
deadly peril. (
When Mr.' Vilder was In England a
few months ago, he was attracted by
the pureness of the gem and as a
result succeeded In organizing a syn
dlcate which bid for an option at the
agreed price of 12.000.000. The option
does not expire for several months as
yet, and It would be no surprise to
learn any day that the final transfer
had been made and the stone trans-
ferred to the United States.
WALLA WALLA DOOMED.
General I'nnston Says No Brigade Post
for Garden City.
Gene-al Funston while stopping at
the Portland hotel was Interlewed by
a reporter for the Bulletin regarding
the possibility of the establishment of
a brigade post in Walla Walla:
Impossible," exclaimed the gener
al. "I recommended the abandonment
of Fort Walla Walla two years ago,
but owing to local pressure on the
government the post was retained.
Since new barracks have been built
I do not think It likely that the gov
ernment will dispose of Its present
quarters at Walla Walla, but when
you speak of a brigade post I can
positively stute that such a thing Is
altogether out of the question."
"Where Is It likely to bo establish
ed?" the general was asked.
"At American Lake. There we
have 70,000 acres for target practice,
unlimited display and maneuver
grounds that cannot be surpessed.
An acre of that land could be bought
at the low figure of $10 per acre and
the government could make no better
Investment. Walla Walla has no
grounds, the roads are so muddy In
winter that Colonel Godfrey told me
he was unable to exercise his troops
during three months. Then again In
summer It Is too hot and altogether
the Idea is preposterous. But It does
not follow that the present post will
be abandoned."
General Greely, also stopping at the
Portland, fully agreed with these
views and deplored political Interfer
ence In the military management of
this country.
