IN D IA N BLOOD P O IS O H jS L * - ' ^ w s m I v M w J s C - « O v% The disease that has done more V . than any other to wreck, ruin and ^ J L lttM T humiliate Mfe, is Contagious Blood Poison. Sorrow, shame and suffering go hand in hand with this great enemy, and man has always hated and fought it as he has no other disease. It is the most powerful of all poisons; no mat­ ter how pure the blood may be, when its virus enters, the entire circulation becomes poisoned and its chain of horrible symptoms begin to show. Usu­ ally the first sign is a small sore or ulcer, not at all alarming in appearance, but the blood is being saturated with the deadly poison, and soon the mouth and throat begin to ulcerate, the hair and eyebrows drop out, a red eruption breaks out on the body, copper-colored splotches and sores make theit appearance and the poison even works down into the bones and attacks the nerves. Not only is the disease hereditary, being transmitted from parent to child, in the form of scrofula, weak eyes, soft bones, weak, puny constitutions, etc., but is also so highly contagious that many a life has been ruined by a friendly hand shake, or from using the toilet articles of one infected with the poison. To cure this blighting, deadly curse the blood mnst be purified, and nothing will do it so quickly and surely as S. S. S. It goes down to the very bottom of the trouble, drives out every particle of the poison and makes the blood clean and strong. It does not hide or cover up anything, but from the first begins to expel the poison and build up and strengthen the system. S. S. S. is guaranteed purely vegetable..

It Is becoming more and qiore diffi­ cult, It la »aid, to secure finely woven Indian basket», and consequently to form collections of the basketry of the aboriginal American. Fewer of the tine baskets are being made and the number of those who desire to make collections Is increasing, says the New York Tribune. It Is estimated that baskets valued at $5,000,000 have been taken from California and Arizona within the last two years. Not all of these, however, were of the kind sought by the most exacting collectors. Bo heavy has been the demand that the southwest has been well-nigh de­ nuded of the finer baskets. Most of the baskets now obtainable are made hurriedly and to fulfill the demands made by collectors. The Indians do not spend the same amount of time upon them as when they made baskets to be handed down as heirlooms. In some cases It Is not possible for them to find the durable grasses which they once used, for civilization has extinguished them. Some of the earlier baskets were the product» of month« of laoor. Many ot these cannot be bought for less than $25, and as high as $1,000 has been paid for specimens. The kind of basket that can be bought for $1.50 or $2 U not the kind which the experienced col lector will accept. He wants a basket which Illustrates the artistic taste and the skill of a tribe, not a "pot boiler.” A t one time basket-making was an art carried on by all the tribes of Pa dfle Coast Indians from Alaska to Mexico. A t present the tribes of Ari­ zona make most of the baskets. The Mekl, or Hopl, and the Apaches make many baskets and plaques. The Plmas and Marlcopas formerly made fine bas­ kets and some of the former do to-day. The Plmas learned the art from the Marlcopas when the latter sought shel­ ter among them from the slaughter of the Yumas, about 100 years ago. The Marlcopas have allowed their basket weaving to cease, while the Plmas are again taking It up. . The cheap modern baskets have heavy fibers and coarse stitches or strands. The choicest baskets and those sought by the connoisseur are delicately woven with mellow-colored markings and soft, flexible strands. The latter are so well put together that they will hold water. It Is said to be almost ont of the question to form a complete collection o f baskets and to make a collection of fifty or sixty good ones showing the different stages of development means hundreds of miles of travel to the reservations and the expenditure of much money and much speech in coaxing the remnants of the old tribes to part with their woven so l ------- -----------* K H asten b o w e ls SARSAPARILLA.
