CATS, would cause the inflammation and old discharge to return and the sore would be as bad o f worse than before. Sores that do not heal are not due to out side causes; if they were, external treatment would cure them. They are kept open because the blood is steeped in poison, which finds an outlet through these places. W hile young people, and even children, sometimes suffer with non-healing sores, those most usually afflicted are persons past middle life. Often, with them, a wart or mole on the face inflames and be gins to ulcerate from a little rough handling ; or a deep, offensive nicer de velops from a slight cut or bruise. Their vital energies and powers of re sistance have grown less, affil circulation weaker, and perhaps some taint in the blood, which was held In check by their stronger constitutions of early “ ' “ life, shows itself. It is well to be sus picious of any sore that does not heal readily, because the same germ that produces Cancer is back of every old sore and only needs to be left in the circulation to produce this fatal disease. p i i p p i ' V V P P F T A R I C There is only one way to cure these old * U nEL. I i l U C I n D L t , sores and ulcers, and that is to get every particle pf the poison out of the blood. For this purpose nothing equals S. S. S. It goes down to the very bottom of the trouble, cleanses the blood and makes a permanent cure. S. S. S. enriches and freshens the circulation so that it carries new, strong blood to the diseased parts and allows the place to heal naturally. When this is done the discharge ceases, the sore scabs over and fills in with healthy flesh, and the skin regains its natural color.

It The sublime candor o f the above advertisem ent which appeared In a recent issue o f the Loudon T im et lin« caused some amusement and attracted a great deal o f attention among busi ness men, says the London Express. Many declared that “ 1. F ." w a * s practical Joker; others that he had a definite object in view when he made bim self out to be a fool. T h a t this latter solution was the cor rect one an Express representative learned yesterday from “ 1. F.” him self. H is object, he said, was to at tract the attention o f eraployera by going out o f the beaten track. “ I. F.,” who Is about 27 years old. Is rather more alert and Intelligent than the average man w ith an ordi nary public school education, and hi« face la a particularly honest one. " I thought i f I said exactly the op posite to w h at most people In search o f a billet Insert In the newspapers," he said, " I m ight stand a good chance o f hearing from employers tired o f superlative virtues, and I have not been disappointed. “ I have this morning received tw o genuine offers and appointments fc.r Interview s from the heads o ' good firms and a large Dumber o f letters and post cards from practical jokeis.

Th* door swung tin Talbot gnaw that ho was not dreaming when she cams toward hint with outstretched hands and a ripple of explanation of which bs heard not one word. Indeed, to him one isolated fact filled the world — that she was smiling up at him with a great promise In her eyes. “ A little friend o f mins wanted to give her friends a Christmas dinner, and I persuaded her to let me share it.” he explained jauntily. “ It has been a great treat to ms.” Miss Wakefield read the whole trath for herself as she looked into the good, homely faces that reflected their host’s praises In every glance. She said noth ing, but her eyes told what Talbot would have given all he possessed to hear from her lips. Then Mr. Wakefield and his w ife ventured In. and Talbot bethought himself to ask if they had dined, which they had not. Lon and Talbot made room for three plates here and there, and as there was a plenty of crullers and turkey and icet cream, all went well to the very end of the function, when the eleven originally invited gzuests rose and made their adieus with glad hearts and beaming faces. Miss Wakefield stood before the grate while her brother and his wife examined * row of pictures half hidden behind the holly wreaths. “ I was so sorry to disappoint you yes terday,” she said, “ but poor T ed ’s tele gram was so urgent that we were afraid he was worse, and hadn’ t the heart to refuse him. When I discovered that we could take an early train home I made up my mind to run in aud wish you a Merry Christmas, anyway, and so we came, you see.” Talbot thought o f the ring. H e had taken It from its hiding place. “ For a long while I have wanted to ask you to accept this— and what goes with it,” he said simply, holding the glittering bauble toward her. A red glow crept into her face. She mads no audible answer, but when the young couple at the other end of the room sauntered toward them they were smiling.

B UYING LAR G E R FARMS. H arsl P o p u la t i o n D o s ro a s ia g W o a l t k In c r e a s e s . As I t seems a paradox, but la neverthe less w ell established aa true, that In certain o f tbe beat farm in g regions o f tbe United States great and abounding agricultural prosperity baa resulted lu decreased rural population. A no less strikin g than surprising illustration o f this is given in a recent State census report o f lowu, which is reported to show a fa llin g o ff o f 2 per cent in the population o f that great aud glorious State since the general census o f 1900. O f course, such a result was not ac ceptable to Io w a ’s pride, and it w as not readily accepted. Close inquiry, however, is reported not only to cou- firm the general correctness o f the new count, but to show a sufficient reason fo r its disappointing result. T h e explanation offered is that it Is all due to the land hunger o f the pros perous Io w a farm er. H a v in g money ahead aud w ell know ing that good farm land in the Mississippi v a lle y .is one o f the safest and most profitable o f investments, be has been buying in the adjoining farm s o f his less fore handed neighbors to such an extent, tbe reports say, that vacant fa rm houses dot every township in the State. M any o f these vacant farmhouses may again be occupied by the sons and sons- in-law o f the purchaser; some o f them w ill be abandoned, and the n ew ly ac quired lands consolidated into larger farms. Aud if Iow a follo w s the course o f developm ent that has been goin g on fo r many years in the m agnificent farm in g regions o f Central Illinois, the consolidated farm s w ill be leased In tracts o f 80 or 320 acres, or more, to th rifty and prosperous tenant farm ers. T h e process as it has gone in Illinois fo r a number o f years Is that the w ealth ier land ow n er buys out the 40 and 80-acre farm s o f his neighbors, tile drains and otherw ise im proves them, often renting the same land or larger tracts to the vendors, w h o gen erally made more money as tenants than they had doue as owners. T h e tenant farm ers o f Central Illin ois put their capital Into the best o f farm im plements and machinery and liv e stock. T h eir prosperity Is seen In their com fortable and w e ll furnished houses, the w ell kept vehicles and horses which their fam ilies d rive to church and to country gatherings. In Central I lli nois ju st now the tendency is to larger farms, the tenant generally desiring to increase his area and the landlord regu lating the quantity o f land he w ill lease by the proved capacity and suc cess o f each tenant.

When Christmas day dawns many a traveler will be unfortunate enough to find himself far from home with no prospect of getting there for the celebra tion o f the greatest holiday o f all the year. T o many of these this necessary absence Is a bitter misfortune, but there are others who have not the good fortune to deem it such a misfortune. They have perhaps no settled home or no rela tlves or no especial friends with whom they yearn to be on the festal day. But these people are comparatively few in numbers. Most of the people who are traveling on Christmas day are doing so because circumstances make it necessary. They are longing every minute of the day to be whe're they could Join in the merriment and festivities with those who are dearest to them. ORDERED orr. I CURES WHERE AIL (LSI FAILS. I la time.
