BAO in) n THE SOURCE OF iUJL DISEASE Every part of the body is dependent on the blood for nourishment and Strength. When this life stream is flowing through the system in a state of Krity and richness we are assured of perfect and uninterrupted health; :ause pure blood is nature's safe-guard against disease. When, however, the bodig is fed on weak. Impure or polluted blood, the system is deprived of its strength, disease germs collect, and the trouble is manifested in various ways. ' Pustular eruptions, pimples, rashe3 and the different skin affections chow that the blood is in a feverish and diseased condition as a result pf too much acid or the presence of some irritating humor. Sores and Ulcers are the result of morbid, unhealthy matter in the blood, and Rheumatism, Ca tarrh, Scrofula, Contagious Elood Poison, etc., are all deep-seated blood disorders that will continue to grow worse as lot as the poison remains. These impurities and poisons find their way into the blood in various ways. Often a sluggish, inactive condition of the system, ad torpid state of the avenues of bodily waste, leaves the refuse and waste matters to sour and form uric and other acids, which are taken up by the blood and distributed throughout the circulation. Coming in contact with contagious diseases is another cause for the poisoning of the blood ; we also breathe the germs and microbes of Malaria into our lungg, and when these get into the blood in sufficient quantity it becomes a carrier of disease instead of health. Soma are so unfortunate as to inherit bad blood, perhaps the dregs of some old constitutional disease of ancestors is handed down to them and they are constantly annoyed and troubled with it. Bad blood is the source of all dis ease, and until this vital fluid is cleansed and purified the body is sure to suffer in some way. For blood troubles of any character S. S. S. is the best remedy ever discovered. It goes down into the circulation and removes any and all poisons, 'supplies the healthful properties it needs, and completely ana permanently cures blood diseases of every kind. The action of S. S. S. is so thorough that hereditary taints are removed and weak, diseased blood made strong and healthy so that disease cannot remain. It cures Rheumatism, Catarrh. Scrofula. Sores PURELY VEGETABLE cers, Skin Diseases, Contagious Blood Poison, etc., and does sot leave the slightest trace of the trouble for future outbreaks. The whole volume of blood is renewed and cleansed after a course of S. S. S. It is also nature's greatest tonic, made entirely of roots, herbs and barks, and is absolutely harmless to any part of the system. S. S. S. is for sale at all first class fjtng stores.

When the King of Slam's minister, protesting against bis majesty's favor toward motoring, sug gested recently that "the royal sedanv. chair" was always at his disposal, It Is Improbable that he used a word remi niscent of the French town. For It Is from the scene of Napoleon III.'s col lapse that the sedan-chair takes Its name, and perhaps remote posterity will suppose that It had some connec tion with that event But Sedan first produced, these ' conveyances centuries ago, and they were seen In England In 1581. One used by James I.'s Bucking ham provoked great popular outcry against the employment of men as beasts of burden. Sir S. Duncombe Is credited with having Introduced them to London In 1634. And Bath knows the Pickwickian sedan-chair to this day. London Chronicle. The Chinese Army. "Soldiers used to be despised In China and only the coolies were con sidered suitable material for fighting men," says Owen MacDonaid in tne Technical World Magazine. 'To-day all this Is changed, and China has an army to which it is an honor to belong. Tomtoms have been superseded by wireless telegraphic apparatus and sig nal balloons: masks have given place to field glasses, comic opera garb has been cast off for khaki uniforms, and the twohuudled sword has become the bayonet China was first aroused to a sense of her weakness, and her strength, by the disaster of the war witih Japan in 18&4-.

Alexander Telxelra de Mattos, the translator of "The Measure of the Hours," the new Maeterlinck volume. Is of Dutch parentage and birth, but has resided for the last thirty years In England. He was educated In London, under Rt Rev. Mgr. Capel, who has since settled In America, and near Windsor, under the Jesuits, at their es tablishment known as Beaumont Col lege, once the home of that famous pro consul, Warren Hastings. Before tak ing up the translation of Mr. Maeter linck's essays Mr. Telxelra had achiev ed some distinction as the author of the English version of "The Memoirs of Chateaubriand," In six volumes, and of JThe Memoirs of President Kruger," and as the translator of several novels by Emlle Zola, Louis Couperas and oth er continental writers.

I One of the most useful activities of tha London County Council has been In the extension of the park system of the metropolis, which now Includes, under the management of the Council, nearly 5,000 acres.

"To the Ingenuity of Herr Emll Cla ries, a. well-known Saxon Inventor and manufacturer, Is due the production of a paper yarn termed , "Zylolln," that has been successfully wed In a wide range of textile fabrics." So writes Frank N. Bauskett in the Technical World Magazine. "The utilisation of paper wood fibre In this practical way and the extreme cheapness of the new material com pared with other yarns now In use Is really a most remarkable achievement This Is not a haphazard discovery, but rather the logical result of years or painstaking study and experimentation. After the final development of the the ory at first In mind into tangible ma terial for all manner of uses In textile Industries, the paper thread and yarn, loose or tightly spun, of all thicknesses, have since been woven Into almost ev ery conceivable fabric and tested and re tested uatll the Invention has become an Important commercial success.

How many men be chased out Save the Babies. INFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that of all the children born in civilized countries, twentytwo per cent, or nearly , one-quarter, die before they reach one year; tiurtyseven percent., or more than one-third, befose they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen ! We do not hesitate to say that a timely use'of Castoria would save a ma jority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations, Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less opium, or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of Chas. H. Pletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the pores of the skin and allays fever. " Letters from Prominent Physicians addressed to Cfias. H. Fletcher. Dr. A. F. Feeler, of St Louis, Mo., says: "I have prescribed your Castoria in many cases and have always found it an efficient and speedy remedy." Dr. E. Down, of Philadelphia, Pa., eays: "I have prescribed your Cas toria in my practice for many years with great satisfaction to myself and benefit to my patients." Dr. Edward Parrish, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I have used your Cas toria In my own household with good results, and have advised several patients to use it for its mild laxative effect and freedom from harm." Dr. J. B. Elliott, of New York City, Bays: "Having during the past nix years prescribed your Castoria for infantile stomach disorders, I most heartily commend its use. The formula contains nothing deleterious to the most delicate of children." Dr. C, Q. Sprague, cf Omaha, Neb, says: Tour Castoria is an ideal medicine for children, and I frequently prescribe it While I do not advo cate the indiscriminate use of proprietary medicines, yet Castoria is aa exception for conditions which, arise in the care of children." " Dr. J. A. Parker, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Your Castoria holds the esteem of the medical profession In a manner held by no other proprie tary preparation. It is a dure and reliable medicine for infants and chil dren. In fact, it is the universal household remedy for Infantile ailments." Dr. H. F. Merrill, of Augusta, Me, says: "Castoria is one of the very finest and most remarkable remedies for Infants and children. In my opinion your Castoria has saved thousands from an early grave. I can furnish hundreds of testimonials from this locality as to Its efficiency and merits." Dr. Norman M.
