HalJ'sCatarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional dis ease, requires a constitutional treatment.

ULCERS, ABSCESSES The best evidence of a bad condition of the blood and unhealthy state of . the system, is an old festering sore, running ulcer, or abscess. They show llie bodily impurities are not passing out through the proper channels, but are left in the system to clog and poison the blood. So thoroughly does the poison permeate the system that every little scratch, cut or braise inflames and festers. Everything about an old sore or ulcer suggests disease. They affect the general health, they require constant attention, and are a source of anxiety and trouble all the time, and in some cases highly offen sive. There is danger, too, of these places becoming cancerous if not treated promptly and in the right way. Washes, salves and ointments are good for external use, but they can't stop the discharge or change the condition of the blood, and for this reason the sore never heals per manently. Not until the blood is purged of impurities and the system cleansed of all harmful substances should the ulcer heal, or the effect upon the sys tem might prove disastrous. 8.S.S. goes into the circulation and searches out and removes the cause of the old sore and invigorates and builds up the polluted, sluggish blood again, and as the poisonous matter is driven from the system the sore begins to heal, new flesh forms and tb place is soon coverea over wiin . , fresh skin and the sore is gone for all time, where the constitution is debilitated from the effects of chronic sores, ulcers, abscesses, carbuncles, boils or other severe skin eruptions, S. S. S. the poison the sore must heal, because nothing is left in the system for it to feed upon. Write ns should you desire medical advice, which is given vithout charge. TE2 OVXFT CPEGIFIG CO. ATlAtiTAm GAm. McKlntey Day. "The Carnation League of America, f instituted as an annual memorial to the late President William McKinely and dedicated to national patriotism, is a fixed institution and insures a perennial observance of January 29th, the arini versary of his birth, as "McKinley Day." To wear the late presidnet's favorite flower, the carnation, in the lapel of the coat, in the hair, or at the throat, in silent memory of a departed public servant, is what is contemplated by this movement, in which the yonng and old of both sexes can have a part. The custom was first observed on Jan uary 29th, 1903, with the greatest nuanimity throughout the country, and by Americans all over the world. It is a simple, inexpensive act and full of patriotic sentiment. All through Mr. McKinley's life, both public and pri vate, there ran a distinct vein of senti ment, and a memorial of this sort is, therefore, peculiarly appropriate to him. The custom will undoubtedly be ob served the coming 29th day of January more universally, if that is possible, than on the initial day, a year ago. Interest in the memorial has increased wonderfully during the past year, and Mr. Lewis G. Reynolds, of Dayton, Ohio, who suggested the idea, has re ceived letters of the most unqualified approval from Americans everywhere. No expectation is had of giving the movement the importance of local or ganizations -or annual meetings and conventions, but in a quite, unobtrus ive way it can be made to wield an in fluence for good almost incalculable and to foster a spirit of true patriotism worthy of our country and of the man whose memory it is proud to honor. Then He dot Foolish. "No," said the new arrival" at the temperance hotel, "I can't understand why all those sensible men take that foolish tramp every Sunday morning to see the hermit."

Mot yielding- to simple home remedies, I consulted a physician, who prescribed a poultice, flax seed, supposedly. By some fearful mistake I was given corrosive subli mate, and after having- it on for a few minutes I could endure the pain no longer, so took off the application and found that my limb from the calf to the ankle was in an awful condition. I im mediately sent for another .physician, who told ma I had been poisoned. Ky limb from tha calf to the ankle was on olid inflamed sore. I waa advised to begin. 8. 8. S., and improved rapidly under its use, but about this time I had an attack of typhoid fever, and this set tled in the original sore. This, of course, caused a back set, but having- confidence in tha ability of S. 8. S., X began it again as soon aa I waa over tha fever, and to make a long- story short, waa completely and permanently cured. Two years have elapsed, and I have never had a return of the trouble.

Waraims Note Calling: tha Wicked to . Kepentance. WO-THIRDS of the average pas tor's time is spent in "coddling" the saints Instead of going after the sinners: Honors do not create honor. You cannot am ble to heaven. Works of "love are words of life. Empty vessels never know enough to be silent. " A hypothetical religion Is apt to be hypocritical. The Gospel of another life gives new life to this one. Sinners blame the law for the fruits of their lusts. We are all liable to be tripped up by our triumphs. To-morrow's burden prevents to day's blessing. No one praises a bad man even for his good works. The calm of complaisance Is not the peace of pardon. Selfishness In our worship puts sul phur on the altar. Only the grateful heart grows In time of goodness. . , This life may be for our passage, but it is not our port. Better be handicapped by God than paced by the devil. They who love the world find it hard to leave the world. They who obey God blindly often see Him most clearly. Our petitions cannot go up if our practice is going down. Sighing Christians see their sorrows without seeing their Savior. Of course charity Is born at home; but it cannot grow up there. The guide book to hell is not a primer on the way to heaven. The men for public trust are the men who can be trusted in private. When serpents' eggs hatch out doves the saloon will benefit society. Obscurity is to be preferred to im mortality through immortality. When the heart is God's abiding place His peace is always there. You cannot lay up treasure in heaven by leaving out charity on earth. Men who have to condescend to wor ship will never climb to heaven. Praise on the tombstone does not scratch out harsh words in the life. The cynic finds the world empty be cause he Is too little to look into it. Spiritual things are all mystery where the Spirit has not the mastery. It is poor policy to try to avoid your premiums with the heavenly company. No man has ever led this world up ward without some of the light of God. xou cannot build a pious memory out or wnat is stolen from the poor man. xoierating tne aeDaucners or our men Is but training the devil for our boys. It may be that all our weeping has its part in the oratorio of the uni verse. The materialist fills his eyes with mud and then says that there is noth ing else. Death may mark the difference be tween the walking and the winging of the soul. EACH COLOR TO ITSELF. How the Cherokee Nation Gets Over tae Race Problem. The race problem in the Cherokee nation Is solved to the general satis faction of the three races concerned and the intermediary mixed bloods. In the location of homes the Cherokee fullbloods and negroes are mostly in settlements. The intermarried whites largely are in the towns and terri tory contiguous to each other. The Cherokee speaking citizens much pre fer to associate together. In the nation there are thirty schools attended by f ullblood Cherokee children and seventeen by negro chil dren. The negro blood schools are not so by legal requirement, but as a corol lary of their preference to live near each other. The Cherokee and negro do not intermarry or socially mingle. Two seminaries and an orphan asylum are attended by fullbloods and mixed bloods only, the colored high school by negroes only. In the incorporated school districts whites and Indians attend the same schools, and race prejudice and undue feeling on either side are being lost in fellowship and friendship cultivated in the class room and on the play ground. Both sides are better satisfied in the combined schools than when they were kept separate. Fullbloods seem to mingle as freely with white renters and their families of good character as they do with mixed bloods. Of the 38,500 citizens of the Chero kee nation the best statistical informa tion gives about 8,500 fullbloods. 3,200 intermarried whites, 22,800 mixed bloods and 4,000 freedmen. Kansas City Journal. Big Task to Sweep Floor. It is enough to blister one's hands just to contemplate the job that con fronted the men who swept the floor of the mammoth palace of agriculture at the St. Louis world's fair. When the contractors finished their work all that remained to be done was to sweep the floor. It never dawned on anyone how great the task was. Cald well & Drake, the contractors, ordered a dozen brooms and set twelve men to work. When night came their inroads on the twenty-three acres of floor space were scarcely noticeable. They increased the force next day to forty men and ordered 100 brooms. These forty men worked ten days before the big floor was thoroughly swept. One Better.

An Interesting instance of the rapid extension of the use of electricity Is furnished by the fortifications distrib uted along our coast 1 A few years ago the electric light was Introduced, to add to the comfort of the garrisons and to -provide better illumination of the works. Once a generating plant had been Installed there was at hand a supply of power in-' a 'convenient and easily controllable form, and this led to Its use for purposes which were not contemplated at the time the plant was installed. . Electric- fans have been put in to make the " living quarters more comfortable in hot weather, and electric motors have been adopted for training the guns, a class .of work for which they are particularly well adapt ed. Motors are .used to drive the am munition hoists and to do other work which before had either been done by hand or some less satisfactory power. Searchlights have been Installed, en abling a fortification to sweep the sea at night The various posts of the fortress are" connected together by tel ephone, so that the commandant is in touch at all times with the entire gar rison, and can instantly transmit or ders to any point The various fortul cations along the coast are tied to gether by telephone and telegraph so that on the appearance' of the enemy at any point all- the fortifications would be informed of it Submarine' mines are controlled electrically,, and even the guns may be fired by this means by an officer at ' some distant point By means of wireless telegra phy a fortification can be kept in touch with the scouting vessels, and would be informed of the approach of the enemy long before he Is visible from the coast The telautograph may be brought into service for transmitting orders, and electric signaling lights are replacing the older types. Electric lights are used for rangefinder cross hairs, for lighting the rangefinder sta tion, and electric clock circuits fur nish accurate time to all parts of the fortification. To Insure the continuity of these manifold services accumula tors are now installed, so there will at all times be a constant and reliable supply of power. Thus, from being at first a small auxiliary, the electrical equipment has extended until it Is now probably the most Important part of the entire equipment of the fortress. Scientific American. BELL AND DRAGON. And Why th Bell Is So Often Adopted as a Sinn in London. -The. English are a music-loving na tion, and they lore to hear music even when going about their daily, occupa tions, and so it is that the spires and towers of her mighty cathedrals are hung full of glorious bells. So fond of bell-ringing is "Merrie England" that Handel once said the bell is her na tioral instrument. It is not strange, therefore, that we find this instru ment frequently adopted as a public bign. From early in the seventeenth century Bell Inns were numerous in Loudon. In Knightrider street there was an old inn the walls of which were prefaced with a giant bell carvil in bold relief; the keystone had tho Initials "M. T. A.," and the date 1.668. This fine specimen is now in Guild hall. But a little step away, in Cacter Lane, there was another Bell Inn, which has the proud distinction of be ing the hostelry from which Richard Quyney wrote, in 1598, to his "loving good tt rend and countryman, Mr. Willm Shakespeare," the only letter addressed to the Bard of Avon now known to exist. The - letter Is pre served in Stratford, the home of the world's greatest poet. Not far away, again, there is a modern Bell Tavern, a place where It is said that Dickens loved to go when making notes for "David Copperfleld." One of the most ancient and reputa ble wholesale druggists in the city, while rebuilding on his old site, dug out of the foundations of the ancient house an old sign of "The Bell and Dragon." It bad lain there for more than two hundred years, having been used on a prior building before the disasters of the Great Fire, and had fallen through into the general ruins. The peculiarity of the situation is that the firm had adopted "The Bell and Dragon" as their trade mark before ! the discovery of this fire-touched relic. This splendid old stone bas-relief is Jealously preserved, and occupies a prominent place in the entrance of the Holborn branch of the firm. St Nich olas. Cnrions Properties of Radium.' The properties of radium are ex tremely curious. This body emits with great intensity all of the different rays that 'are produced in a vacuum-tube. The radiation, measured by means of an electroscope, is at least a million times more powerful than that from an equal quantity of uranium. A charged electroscope placed at a distance of sev eral metres can be discharged by a few centigrams of a radium salt One can also discharge an electroscope through a screen of glass or lead five or six centimetres thick. Photographic plates placed In the vicinity of radium are al most instantly affected if no screen in tercepts the rays; with screens, the ac tion is slower, bnt it still takes place through very thick ones if the ex posure is sufficiently long. Radium can therefore be used in the production of radiographs. Century. Ooinjt to Business in Chicago. "Are you wearing your steel shirt, dear? And have you the padded hel met?"
