A gangrenous eating: ulcer upon the lep 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 (eel 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, nnd are a threatening clanger always, because, while all such sores are not cancerous, a grent many arc, and this should make you suspicious of all chronic, slow-hcaling ulcers and sores, particularly if can cer runs in your family. Face sores arc common and cause the greatest annoyance uccausc nicy arc so per sistent nnd unsightly and detract so much from one's personal appearance. Middle aged and old pcoplo and those whose blood is contaminated and tainted with the germs and poison of malaria or some previous sickness, arc 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 superficial 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 Inn lr la what vnil need. Some thing to cleanse the blood, restore its lost properties, quicken the circula tlon and invigorate the constitution, and S. S. S. is just such a remedy. S. S.

If you seek good luck, break a looking-glass, If you wish extraordinary good fortune, smash a lot of them. Much at lentt would likely lis tho art vlro of Miss Henrietta Crosman and the members of her company, nnd they would spenk from an experience found 11! on fact. For Mls Crosman hss thoroughly disproved the old wives' fable that seven years' had luck follows tho breaking of a looking-glass. In the three years that Miss Crosman hat been starring, thirteen mirrors have been broken In her company, but In stead of misfortune and calamity at tending these mishaps, they seem each tlmr to bring run of good luck. Hlrnngely enough, the first and the thirteenth mirror were broken in Doe ton. Miss Crosman was .about to be gin an engagement at the Trvmont ThcatiT, Uoston, three years ago, when ono of the city's street-cleaning cura smashed a large looking-glass which was part o fthc stage equipment, and which had Just been taken from n transfer wagon and placed nenr the stage door. When It became known throughout the company that a looking glass had been broken alt manner of dire pndlctlons were made. Theatrical folk are superstitious abovo 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 lios ton slreet-cleanlng department, who paid the full value of the damaged property, which was $-10. This did not exactly look like bad luck, and was viewed In the light of a marvel, for surb promptness and dispatch upon the part of n municipality had never be fore been heard of. Homo time thereafter the company was playing lu a New England city when a (rust 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. tlcular town proved to be the largest In tlie history of the local theater. Soon the third mirror waa broken, and as before aome good luck befell. Then the member of it In 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 splcuous fact that every looking-glass which baa been broken In Mist Croe roan's company haa been followed by aome uncommon good fortune. Thus, Just before the recent engagement In Philadelphia, which In point of receipts was the biggest ever played by a dra niatlc company In this country at lira liar 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 tho business was tho biggest ou record aud established Albany as a great theatrical city. Then, ngnlii. Just before Miss Croa ninii and her company began their run In Huston not long ago, another mir ror met tho fate of Its predecessors, making the thirteenth that had been broken lu the company In three yearn, The Iloston 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 lie regard ed as bad luck come ou the heels of a mlrror-smasblng, while In every in stance there has been n series of lucky happenings, until now there Is strong suspicion that some of the mlr- ror' Crosman's company have "" imrinweij-.

Tho great majority of nervous women are so because they are suffering from some form of female dis ease. Mrs. Emma Mitchell, 620 Louisiana street, Indianapolis, Ind., writes: "Poruna has certainly been a blessing In disguise to mo, for when I first be gan taking It fcr troubles peculiar to the sex and a generally worn oat sys tem. I had title faith. " l:orthe past five years I have rare ly been without pain, but I'eruna has changed all this, and in a very short time. I think I had only taken two bottles before I began to recuperate very quickly, and seven bottles made me well. I do not have headache or backache any more, and have some Interest in life. I give ollcredlt where it Is due, and that is to Peruna." limma Mitchell. l)y far the greatest number of female troubles are caused directly by catarrh.

The completion of the extcnslvo port works nt Coatzacoalcoa, on the gulf, and Hnllna Crtu on tho Pacific side, connected 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 tho far East that will be nn Im portant factor long before the ciies. tlcm of an Isthmian canal Is settled, aays Modern Mexico. The co-opcratlon of the Mexican government In the building of this transcontinental line Is a satisfactory guaranty that the 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 nny great degree shipping between North Atlantic and Southern Pacific porta, but when the saving In time between Atlantic and gulf points and Central and North American coast cities and In ahlpmenta to Asia are considered, the advantages of the northern route are striking. From Panama to Rallna Cruz the dis tance Is 1,303 miles, which Is a clear saving for freight to northern porta shipped via 'Tehuantepcc. The saving will be made upon all shipments to Central American porta, varying In Importance from ATA miles to Junta Arenas, Costa Itlca, to 1,002 miles to Han Joee de Oautcmala. Prom Hallna Cruz to San Francisco the distance Is only 2,170 miles, snd 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 Ssn Francisco by the Mexican Isthmus It is 100 miles shorter than by the line of the Southern Pa cific Hallway. With sucli 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 Sutra to the Orient, and It will at once become a powerful fac tor In the development of Mexico's rich west coast t UNCLE BEN'S NEPHEW.
