e Innocent
Suffer
With
The
The world to-day la full of innocent sufferers from that most loathsome
disease, Contagious lllood l'oison. l'coplc know in a general way that it is
a bid disease, but if nil its horrors could lie brought before them they
would Khun it n.t they do the Leprosy. Not only the person who contracts ft
BufTcrs, but the nwful taint is transmitted to children, and the fearful sores
end eruptions, weak eyes, Cnlarrli, nnd other evidences of poisoned blood
ijliow these little innocents are guttering the awful consequences of some
body's sin. So highly contagious is this form of blood poison that one may
be contaminated bv handling the clothing or other articles in use by a
Jicrson afllu ted with this miserable disease. There is danger even iu drink
ng from the dame vessel or eating out of the same tableware, as many pure
nnd innocent men nnd women have found to their sorrow. The virus of
Contagious lllood l'oison is so
issr. yhorHir blood poison is no
first little sore appears the whole
system is infected and every RESPECTER OF PERSONS
drop of blood iu the body is "LOILUIU" ul '
tainted with the poison, nnd the
cklu is soon coveted with n red rash, ulcers break out in the mouth and
throat, swellings appear in the groins, the hair and eyebrows fall out,
mid unless the ravagcD of the disease are checked at this stage, more
violent and dangerous symptoms appear in the form of deep and offensive
cores, copper colored splotches, terrible pains in boucs and muscles, and
general breaking down of the system.
S. S. 8. is n specific for Contagious Blood Toison and the only remedy
that nutidolcs this peculiar virus mid makes a radical nnd complete cure of
the disease. Mercury and I'otash hold it in check so long as the system is
under their influence, but when the medicine is left off the poison breaks out
again ns bad or worse than ever. Hcsules, the use of these minerals bring
on Rheumatism nnd stomach troubles of the worst kind, nnd frequently pro
duce bleeding mid spongiucss of the gums nnd decay of the teeth. S. S. S.
cures Blood l'oison in all stages and even reaches down to hereditary taints

nearly fifty years proves beyond doubt Hint it cures Coutagious lllood Poison

On Can Upend Vacation. In Knrope al
i.ittia Kipenaa.
Krery one knowa that It coats htm
something to live In this country, no
matter whero he Is, and every one
knows that living la cheaper nbrond
than here. Hut, aaya Colllcr'a Weekly,
the alight effort of putting theae two
facts together aeema to be too great
for the average mind, which never
fully Uikea lu the truth that cure ar
rived In a foreign country nn Amerl
csn can lire more cheaply there than
here.
Tha .coat of transportation la, of
course, one Item to bo taken Into ac
count, but this Is reduced by common
ium figuring to a nominal sum. To
the tired seeker after rest no beginning
of a vacation could be more favorable
than ten or twelve daya apent on a
alow, comfortable steamer of one of
the smaller lines. The coat of such a
pasaage la about t'iO a naaacuger. The
average man would apend at least
half of that aum In caring for himself
If be atayed rloaely at home during
the ten or twelve dnya, and he would
think be waa a good manager If he
made a baaty bualnesa trip to Waab-
Ington on the other half.
As to bla expenae on the other aide.
It la a certainty that any American can
live comfortably abroad for lew than
what he pay a here. Of course he can
not If be travela Incessantly, but once
tha haunting feeling lost that this la
his flrat, last and only opportunity
there will be no neresalty for such a
hurry. He will ee before him n vlala
of vacations, each apent In exploring
at bla leisure aome small district of
Europe, whence be will return with
nerrea calmed, with sane vlalon, with
cool head and (thla la an actual fact
drawn from repeated observational
with not one penny lesa In the bank
than be would have had had he atay
ed at home with the uaual summer ex
pense!. A man or woman who can
afford a vacation anywhere (outside, of
course, the regular two weeka com
merclal vacation) can afford It In Ku
rt) pe.
Suppoae that three concrete exam
ples are taken as covering roughly the
entire field of varying tastes. Take the
case of the man or woman who la
thoroughly tired and worn with the
excitement and nervoui atraln of one
of our terrible American wlntera of
activity In all directions.
He has two or three months ln which
to recuperate before the wear anl tear
of an exactly similar winter begins.
There are a dozen (iemuin towna of
the third or fourth class In population
where be can live In greater comfort
than ln any American boarding house
of moderate prices for not to exceed
1 a day. For thh price he has a good
room of a quietness perfectly blissful
to tired New York's ears, four meals
a day of hearty, wholesome Oerinan
food, hta light and heat and what Is
almost sure to be the most quieting
and restful of company. He spenda
bla days out of doors walking or bt
cycllDg on the excellent roads through
a country which, beautiful, historic
and keenly Interesting as It Is, will
make the trolley parks, picnic groves
or even golf links of his usual summer
resort aeem tame and uninteresting.
AN INSECT THERMOMETER.
Cricket Clilrpe Hear si Cloae Relation
to the Temperature.
On an autumn evening, when the
crickets are out enjoylug life too, It
Is very Interesting to be able to tell
the temperature of the air by the
number of chirps the cricket makes
per minute.
It seems that the rate of chirps Is
affected by the temperature, and the
exact relation of the temperature to
the number of chirps has been esti
mated. With a little care In couutlng,
one soon becomes expert enough to
tell the temperature within one or two
degrees Fahrenheit.
One meets with many discourage
ments at first as he tries hard to'count
every chirp; tho cricket stops before
the minute Is up; other Insects' notes
drown out the cricket's; the noise of
passing vehicles, etc., are very apt to
Interrupt at the critical moment of
counting. But a little patience will
easily overcome such dlrBcultiea.
When one has the average number
of chirps per minute, take one-fourth
of that number, and add forty to that;
the result will be the temperature
within a degree or two of the actual
temperature as read from a thermome
ter hung out of doors.
Another experiment Is to capture a
cricket and take him Into the bouse
and aee how much faster be chirps
when he Is warm.
To count the chirps per minute, tak
ing one-fourth of that number and

Great Drllalu'a Seamen.
One ln every thlrtyvslx of the males
over 15 years of age ln Great llrltaln
Is a seaman ln the mercantile marine
or a fisherman. That by no means
represents the proportion of Ilrltons
who go to sea ln ships. For the cur
rent year the total number of otllcera
and men, active service ratings pro
vided by the estimates for the royal
navy. Is 127,000, being an Increase of
4,000 over the previous year. Taking
the two totals this means that one In
about every twenty Britons Is n sailor,
which Is an enormously larger percent
age than that which any other nation
can boast, even with the conscription
which aupplles the seamen of several
continental countries.
AiItIob of a 1 tall ron (I Comlucter.
A conductor In Kansas has prepared
the following advice for bla passen
gers: 'Have no money transactions
with strangers. Give your trunk
checks to a baggageman, and nobod)
else. A gold brick isn't worth bring
ing home. Don't get off the cars while
they are In motion. When a suspl-clous-looklug
man asks you If you have
lost your pocketbook tell him you nev
er carry one. Don't feel for It whlh
he Is looking. Have your ticket ready
when the conductor comes along."
