SORES AMD
ULCERS.
Sores and Ulcers never become chronic
unless the blood is in poor condition is
sluggish, weak and unable to throw off
the poisons that accumulate in it. The
system must be relieved of the unhealthy
matter through the sore, and great danger
to life would follow should it heal before
tbe blood has been made pure and healthy
and all impurities eliminated from the sys
tem. S. S.S. begins the cure by first cleans
ing and invigorating the blood, building
tip the general health and removing from
in J!wm A CONSTANT DRAIN
Xem UPON THE SYSTEM.
When this has been accomplished the dis
charge gradually ceases, and the sore or
nicer heals. It is the tendency of these old
indolent sores to grow worse and worse,
and eventually to destroy the bones. Local
applications, while soothing and to some
extent alleviate pain, cannot reach the seat
of the trouble. S. S.S. does, and no matter
bow apparently hopeless your condition,
even though your constitution has broken
down,, it will bring relief when nothing
else can. It supplies the rich, pure blood
necessary, to heal the sore and nourish
the debilitated, diseased body.

says: " Six years ayo my leg from the knee ta

HIGH EXPLOSIVES
Do Not Hart Armor When They Burst
on tbe Bur face.
Experiments undertaken by the Uni
ted States Government expressly to
test the theory that if a sufficiently
large amount of high explosive can be
detonated against or In close proximity
to a battleship, tbe battleship will be,
to use the pet term of promoters, anni
hilated, have proved that it is abso
lutely false.
On one occasion, a Harveylzed steel
plate, representing the side armor of
the United States battleship Kearsarge,
was tested by tbe detonation of 307
pounds of guncotion, which was sus
pended for the purpose immediately in
front of the plate. Instead of being
blown Into theoretical "thousands' of
fragments," the plate was undisturbed,
and a slight and harmless scoring on
the face ofThe plate was the only evi
dence, so far as the armor was con
cerned, of the explosion. Of four chick
ens placed either Immediately behind
the plate, or within from twenty-five
to fifty feet of the guncotton, two sur
vived without the slightest sign of be
ing Injured; one was killed by a flying
fragment of a shell (a result which does
not affect the argument), and only one
appeared to have died from shock.
Frof. Alger, the greatest expert In this
country, or probably in any country,
on this very question, says: "This ex
periment would seem completely to dis
pose of the theory that a high-explosive
shell of very large capacity will blow
In the side of an armored vessel if It
exploded against It;" and he further
says that "the velocity of the shell
would add materially nothing to the
effect of a detonation, the rush of
whose gases is determined by a pres
sure of hundreds of tons per square
inch." -It
Is the opinion of Prof. Alger and
every ordnance expert the world over
that for a high explosive to be effective
it must be carried by the shell through
the armor, and burst within the hull
of the ship Itself. This conclusion was
strikingly borne out by the experiments
on tne Belleisle, made early in the
present year. The high-explosive shells
were burst upon contact with the ar
mor, and left no further trace than a
harmless star splash on the outside of
the ship. Scientific American.

was about 10 in the moraine-, and the
operation was fixed to take place at 1

Morrison wrote a letter to Prof. Simn-
son freeing him from any responsibility
if there should be any accident or in
the event of death. - The anaesthetic
proved efficacious in about one minute,
and Mr. Morrison soon recovered, and
he Is still proud of the fact that he was

' Slight Diminution of Exports.
Brads trcet's says: Despite some ir
regularities in reports from different

whole is of satisfactory volume for
tnis time of year. Relatively the beet
reports come from the Pacific coast,
the South and the Southwest, where
the spring demand is opening well.
Unseasonable weather in some sec
tions, notably tbe East, has been a bar
to activity in retail trade. Special ac
tivity has been noted in some branches
of the iron trade and sentiment has
been, on the whole, helped by a clearer
view ot the possibilities contained in
the recent "war talk." The quieting
down of business abroad naturally
points to some diminution of our ex
port trade, in the cruder forms of iron
and steel, copper and lumber, but for
finished products of these and other
staples, the outlook is declared to be
still satisfactory. A -leature in the
export line this week was tbe shipment
of 3,000 tons of steel, billets to Glas
gow from Bir-ningham, Ala., the
largest shipment of this material ever
sent abroad from tbe South. Hevya

MYSTERY OF SHOE SIZES.
English and French Standards of Meaa
nrementa Are Used.
Although every one has his feet
measured for shoes, there are very few
persons who know what the sizes
marked upon tbe shoe stick mean.
There are two shoe sticks in use in
America and Europe. The stick nsed
in the United States was originally
English, and Is still used in England.
The rest of Europe uses the French
stick.
The sizes on the English shoe stick
were derived from the length of a bar
ley corn, and they run three to the
Inch. The first mark on the stick, or
size 1. is made arbitrarily. Just four
and one-half Inches from the upright
Why this distance was fixed upon does
not appear to be known. For some oth
er reason which can only be guessed at
the graduated part of the stick Is again
divided into"" two sets of numbers.
These numbers begin at 1 and run up
to 13, and then they begin again at 1
and run up to 13. Tbe first numbers
from 1 to 5 are .known as Infants' sizes,
those from 6 to 10 as children's, from
11 to 2 as misses' sizes, from 2 to
6 as women's,1 and from T"t'-"13 as
men's sizes; ' . '- : - . . ,
The French shoe stick is divided Into
a great many more sizes than the Eng
lish, and tbe French shoemaker sub
divides these again, as is done with
the English sticks,' into half, sizes.
There is no exact relationship between
the markings on tbe two -Sticks, but
tbe French size 16 .corresponds to the
English infants'" 1. and their size 44
is the same as the. English size 10 for
men. ' A woman who wears a 2 shoe
by English measure would get a 34
or 35 by the French measure, and a
man with a 7 foot by English measure
would wear a 40 shoe In France.. .Over
here the width .of .the- shoe Is desig
nated by a letter, while the" French
use figures. Tbe width AAA is the
French 000. B is the French 1 and EE
Is the French 5 width. New York Sun.

Thousands of women endure the tor

treatment had been used. How pa
thetio is the story of thousands of
young mothers who every year are car
ried to tbeir graves leaving little chil
dren to struggle alone in the world
without the tender care and wise coun
sel of a mother. And bow deplorable
when it is known that there is a reme
dy so exactly suited to the. needs of
suffering women that it cures the,
most stubborn of tbeir diseases..
Immediately after tbe birth of her
first child in 18U6, Mrs. Grace Camp
bell, of No. 391 Logan street, Grand
Rapids, Mich., now 28 years of age,
was afflicted with a complication of
diseases. Her story, as told in her
own words, follows:
"The birth of my first child left me
in a deplorable condition. My system
was broken down and 1 suffered from
general debility. I was exceedingly
nervouB and rheumatism also troubled
me. My appetite failed and the most
delicate and inviting food failed to
tempt me. I was thin and pale, and
had neither energy nor ambition. My
case had been glowing steadily worse
for two years. . I had used several so
called remedies but found no curative
qualities in them.
"In the summer of 1898 I was visit
ing my grandmother ii Ludington,
Mich., and there learned of the won
dei ful c ires effected by Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People.' I tried the
pills and had not finished one box be
fore I felt much better. I continued
takiug tbem through 'the year and the
result was a perfect cure. I am no
longer nervous or rheuamtic and have
more than regained my lost flesh. I
certainly recommend the pills, to all
who need them and their results have
always been beneficial."
