Eating Ulcer St
Nothing is a source of so much trouble as an old sore or ulcer, oarticu-
larly when located upon the lower extremities where the circulation is weak
and sluggish. A gangrenous eating ulcer upon the leg is a frightful sight,
and as the poison burrows deeper and deeper into the tissue beneath and the
sore continues to spread, one can almost-see the flesh melting away and feel
the strength going out with the sickening discharges. Great running sores
and deep offensive ulcers often develop from a simple boil, swollen gland,
bruise or pimple, and area threatening danger always, because, while all
such sores are not cancerous, a great many are, and this should make you
suspicious of all chronic, slow-healing ulcers and sores, particularly if can
cer runs in your family. Face sores are common and cause the greatest
annoyance oecause iney are so per
sistent and unsightly and detract so
much from one's personal appearance.
Middle aged and old people and
those whose blood is contaminated and
tainted with the germs and poison of
malaria or some previous sickness, are
the chief sufferers from chronic sores
and ulcers. While the blood remains in
an unhealthy, polluted condition heal
ing is impossible, and the sore will
continue to grow and spread in spite of
washes and salves or any sraperficial or
surface treatment, for the sore is but
the outward sign of some constitu
tional disorder, a bad condition of
the 'blood and system which local
remedies cannot cure. A blood purifier
and tonic is what vou need. Some
thing to cleanse the blood, restore its lost properties quicken the circula
tion and invigorate the constitution, and S. S. S. is just such a remedy.
S. S. S. reaches these old chronic sores through the blood. It goes to
the very root of the trouble and counteracts and removes from the blood all
the impurities and poisons, and gradually builds up the entire system and
strengthens the sluggish circulation, and when, the blood has been purified

BREAK A LOOKING-GLASS
And Ton Will Have Extraordinary
Good Luck, So They Sav. -
If you Beek good luck, break a look-lug-glass.
If you wish extraordinary
good fortune, smash a lot of them.
Such at least would likely be the ad
vice of Miss Henrietta Crosman and
the members of her company, and they
would speak from an experience found
ed on fact..
For Miss Crosman has thoroughly
disproved, the old wives' fable that
seven years' bad luck follows the
breaking of a looking-glass. In the
three years that Miss Crosman has
been starring, thirteen mirrors have
been broken in her company, but in
stead of 'misfortune and calamity at
tending these mishaps, they seem each
time to bring a run of good luck.
Strangely enough, the first and the
thirteenth mirror were broken In Bog
ton. Miss Crosman was about to be
gin an engagement at the Tremont
Theater, Boston, three years ago,
when one of the city's street-cleaning
cars smashed a large looking-glass
which was part o fthe stage equipment,
and which had just been taken from a
transfer wagon and placed near the
stage door. When it became known
throughout the company that a looking
glass had been broken all manner of
dire predictions were made. Theatrical
folk are superstitious above most hu
man kind, and this looking-glass Inci
dent was sufficient to fill all with dis
may. The first notable event after the
breaking of the glass was the appear
ance of a representative from the Bos
ton street-cleaning department, who
paid the full value of the damaged
property, which was $40. This did not
exactly look like bad luck, and wag
viewed in the light of a marvel, for
such promptness and dispatch upon the
part of a municipality bad never be
fore been heard of.
Some time thereafter the company
waa playing, in a New England city
when a gust of wind caught a looking
glass that had been leaned against the
wall of the theater In readiness to be
carried inside, and smashed ' it into
bits. Again great fear assailed Miss
Crosman's company, but, as before, the
consequences were good instead of
evil, for the engagement in this par
ticular town proved to be the largest
In the history of the local theater.
Soon the third mirror was broken, and
as before some good luck befelL Then
the members of Miss Crosman's com
pany took heart and began to assure
themselves that It was lucky for them
to smash a looking-glass. It is a con
spicuous fact that every looking-glass
which has been broken In Miss Cros
man's company has been followed by
some uncommon good fortune. Thus,
just before the recent engagement In
Philadelphia, which in point of receipts
was the biggest ever played by a dra
matic company In this country at sim
ilar prices, a large pier glass was bro
ken as It was being taken Into the
theater. In Albany also, last winter,
a looking-glass was smashed in the
theater, and the engagement In that
city is a part of dramatic history, as
the business was the biggest on record
and established Albany as a great
theatrical city. v
Then, again, just before Miss Cros
man and her company began their run
in Boston not long ago, another mir
ror met the fate of its predecessors,
making the thirteenth that had been
broken in the company in three years.
The Boston engagement was a brilliant
success, and it was followed by a New
England tour which has become cele
brated as the most profitable ever play
ed, by any dramatic star in that sec
tion of the; country. Not once has any
thing that in any way could be regard
ed as bad luck come on the heels of a
mirror-smashing, while in every In
stance there, has been a series of lucky
happenings, until now there is a
strong suspicion that some of the mir
rors in Miss Crosman's company have
been broken purposely.
Corporations to Control.
It is believed that in the near; fu
ture farms are to be controlled by
great corporations. In Missouri re
cently an 8,000-acre farm was plaeed In
the hands of a company to be man
aged, and this company is now buying
surrounding lands to make a gigantic
farm ranch.. In North Dakota the
Dalrymples own a 20,000-acre wheat
ranch, which is managed hi the same
manner as any mercantile establish
ment. The' general trend outside of
agriculture has been toward consoli
dation, and the present captains of
the farming and ranching industry
have already caught the ' fever, and
they, too, will perhaps consolidate
their Interests. Whether a unity of
capital will be successful in carrying
on crop and beef production can only
be determined . by trials and experi
ence.'. -
Competition In farming la getting to
be more and more Intense. The man
who understands the soil the best is
the one who succeeds. Modern farm
ers do not trust to 'luck in sowing
their crops on fresh solL They use the
information secured through the ex
periment stations, ; and, as a result,
each kind of soft now receives the crop
best adapted to its nature. Crop rota
tion is followed on every well-regulated
farm; fertilization is a part of the an
nual improvement. - . . o

ISTHMUS OF TEHUANTEPEC.
Short Ronte for thlpmtnts to tbe Far
East. . ".: .. .
The completion of the extensive port
works at Coatzacoalcos, on the gulf,
ajid Salina Cruz on the Pacific side,
cqnnected by a well-equipped railroad
across the narrow Isthmus of Tehuan
tepec, promises to provide a short route
for shipments to Pacific coast ports
and the far East that will be an im
portant factor long before the ques
tion of an isthmian , canal is settled,
says Modera Mexico. Tbe co-operation
of the Mexican government in the
building . of this transcontinental line
la a satisfactory guaranty that tbe ex
tensive undertaking will be carried to
a successful end. The location of a
connection between the great oceans is
a question that does not affect to any
great degree shipping betwe&i North
Atlantic and Southern Pacific ports,
but when the saving in time between
Atlantic and gulf points and Central
and North American coast cities and In
shipments to Asia are considered, the
advantages of tbe northern route are
striking.
From Panama to Salina Cruz the dis
tance is 1,303 miles, which is a clear
saving for freight to northern ports
hipped via Tehuantepec. The saving
will be made upon all shipments to
Central American ports, varying in
importance from 454 miles to Junta
Arenas, Costa Rica, to 1,002 miles to
San Jose de Gautemala. From Salina
Cruz to San Francisco the distance is
only 2,170 miles, and shipments to
the Orient will save over 1,000 miles
by the use of the Mexican rail transfer
to the Pacific in preference to going
through a Panama canal. It Is a
fact not generally known that from
New Orleans to San Francisco by the
Mexican isthmus it Is 100 miles shorter
than by the line of the Southern Pa
cific Railway. With such shipping
facilities as it is intended to establish
the Mexican short cut across the back
bone of the continent will doubtless
divert much commerce from all-rail
lines. It will from the start furnish
an attractive route for the growing
export cotton trade of the Southern
American States to the Orient, and
it will at once become a powerful fac
tor In the development of Mexico's
rich west coast.

An Oklahoma man once told an In

after his scalp. He smiled and' shook
his head. "A few days later," con
tinues the narrator, "we were talking
to the white man, when the Indian
came up to the group. He had spot
ted the stranger , and knew him by
sight Without 'saying a word to him
he . walked up within arm's reach and
struck the white man in the face with
a rough, heavy glove. He paused for
a few seconds and hit him again.
'TJgW he exclaimed as he wheeled
around and walked away. The white
man looked at the Indian In amaze
ment," but made . no show of resent
ment. Later in the day, when we ask
ed the Indian why he didn't follow
up the Insult with blows, he told us
the white man was a coward In
explaining how he knew it he said
the man's 'jaw dropped when he
struck him in the face the second
time with the glove, and that this, with
the Indian, was an unfailing sign of
cowardice." Kansas City Journal.
