Chicago, Aug. 14.— Immunity to dif­ ferent railroad officials from proaecn tion for violating interstate commerce law* in giving rebate* to the Standard Oil company ia the price which the Federal anthoritiee are psying for tes­ timony upon which they will try to se­ cure the conviction of the Standard Oil company and eome of its official*. Jt was announced today by local railroad men that they will have no heaitancy in uncovering ail the transactions be­ tween the roade and the oil com bine to the local Federal grand jury, because they are tare that by so doing they will be themeelves exempt from prosecution When the oil combine prosecution was first launched, it was found by the Federal authorities that railroad offi­ cials familiar with the facte declined to come forward. An inquiry addressed to snch officials brought forth an an­ nouncement of the railroad men’ s posi­ tion by the different general counsel of the roade. Open notice was served that the officials of the roads would not give information because in so doing they would be placing themselves and their own railroads in danger of indict­ ment and prosecution. After consulta­ tion between counsel for the railroads and the government the eilence of the railroad men was broken and proof is now forthcoming upon which indict­ ments will be voted Dy the grand jury. It was explained by one of the lead­ ing local railroad attorneys today tnat the definite understanding has been reached between their clients and the department of Justice that, in return for proof upon which to indict and con­ vict the oil combine and £ ite officials, the railroads will not be molested witn any prosecution, so far as the giving of rebates to the Standard Oil company ia concerned.

Fire Insur­ ance policies expire at noon and tbe word Is admitted to mean exactly 12 o’clock, midday. But standard time has not been adopted In all communi­ ties. Many small towns cling to sun time, which may be from a few min­ utes to nearly an hour earlier than standard. In one state a Are occurred at two minutes past noon, sun time, and the insurance company held that tbe policy had expired before the Are. Sun time Is used In that town, but the Insured sued the company, holding that local customs did not rule tbe policy and that he was entitled to his insurance. The state courts sustained him. In another state a similar contention was taken to the courts and Just the opposite decision given. Several con­ flicting precedents hare been establish­ ed In state courts, tnd It Is said the question can only be decided for good and all when a case has been carried Into the United States courts and pass­ ed upon by the Supreme Court.— New York Press.

KING of BLOOD PURIFIERS No other remedy has given such perfect satisfaction as a blood purifier and tonic or is so reliable in the cure of blood dis­ eases of every character as S. S. S. It is known as “ The King of Blood Purifiers,” and the secret of its success and its right to this title is because ttIT OURES D IS E A S E ." It is an honest medicine, made entirely of purifying, healing roots, herbs and barks, which are acknowledged to be specifics for diseases arising from an impure or poisoned condition of the blood and possessing tonic properties that act gently and admirably in tjie up-building of a run­ down, weakened or disordered condition of the system. One of the greatest points in favor of S. S. S. is that it is the only blood remedy on th e market which does not contain a mineral ingredient of some kind to derange o r damage t h e system. It is the one medicine that can be taken with absolute safety by the youngest child o r the oldest member of the family, and persons who have allowed their systems to get in such condition that most medicines are repulsive to the stomach will find that S. S. S., while thorough, is gentle and pleasant in its action, and has none of the nauseating effect* o f the different mineral mixtures and concoctions offered as blood purifiers. As every part of the body is dependent on the blood for nourishment and strength, it is necessary that this vital fluid be kept free from germs and poisons.

Sores and Ulcers are the result of morbid, unhealthy matter in t h e blood, and Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison etc., are all d e e p -s e a te d blood disorders that continue to grow worse as long as the poison remains. But all blood diseases are not acquired; some persons are born with an hereditary taint in the blood and we see this great affliction manifested in many ways. The skin has a waxy, pallid appearance, the eyes are often weak, glands of the neck enlarged, and as the taint has been in the blood since birth the entire health is usually affected. In all blood troubles S. S. S. has proved itself a perfect remedy and has well earned th e title of “ K IN G O F BJ^OOD P U R IF IE R S .” It goes down into the circulation and re m o v e s all poisons, humors, waste o r foreign matter, and makes this stream of life pure and h e a l t h - sustaining. Nothing reaches inherited b lo o d troubles like S. S. S.; every p a r t i c l e of tbe taint, purifies and strengthens t h e w e a k , deteriorated blood, and supplies it with th e healthful properties it needs and establishes th e foundation for good health. As a th is ™ ™ H great medicine has no equal, and it will b e fo u n d ially bracing to weak, anaemic persons. Rheumatism, Catarrh, Sores and Ulcers, S k i n Diseases, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison and all other blood troubles are cured p e r m a ­ nently by S. S.
