Boils and Pimples
Give Warning.
AN UNFAILING SIGN THAT
NATURE IS APPEALING

To neglect to purify the blood lit tins
time mow III more than the annoyance of painful boils and
unsightly pimples. If these impurities are allowed to
remain, the system succumbs to any ordinary illness, and is
nnable to withstand the many ailments which are so
prevalent during spring ami summer.
Mrs. L. Gentile, 2004 Second Avenue, Seattle. Wash ,
s.iys : " I was atllicted for a long time with pimples, winch
were very annoying, as they disfigured my face fearfully.
After using many other remedies in vain. 8 S S. promptly
and thoroughly cleansed my blood, and now I rejoice in
good Complexion, which 1 never had before "
(Japt. w. II Dunlap, of the A. U. S.
K. li . t;iiattanooga. lean, writes:
" Several boils and carbuncles broke out upon me, causing
great pain and annoyance. My blood seemed to be in
a riotous condition, and nothing I took seemed to do
any good. Six bottles of S S. S. cured me completely
and my blood has been perfectly pure ever since.

When Nature in orertsxed, she has

; f j "ii f r have to use a pistol," said
t rti in of expi rlence, "the chances are
you'll lind yourself in endless trouble
with the court. When 1 was living out
in Texas I adopted a Bcheme that
worked like a charm. I went armed,
like everybody else, but I always Kept
one blank cartridge under the hammer
of my revolver, for use a a bluff, one
day a professional bully made a dead
set at me, and w lien I buw that u fracas
w;;.s unavoidable 1 whipped out the g un
o:ul blazed nwnj square In his face. The
suddi uness f the thing scared him
nearly to death, and he tore down the
railroad track and fell Into a cattle
guard, thinking he was killed. Another
time a fellow threatened to carve me on
sight. 1 met him coming into a store
and instantly opened fire. He skipped
out nimbly and couldn't be found for
three days. Those blank cartridges
saved my bacon and my reputation, and,
best of all, saved me the untold tribula
tion of defending myself in a murder
trial. After that I was regarded us the
gamest citizen in town, and the bad
men gave me a wide berth. Of course, I
always had five good bullets In reserve
in ease the bluff failed to work, but, I'm
thankful to say, I never had to use 'em."
At Osage City, Kan., Mrs. C A. Stod
onl was cleaning up her garret when
by some means the family cat got into
mi old trunk filled with clothing and
was shnt in tight nnd fast. Just 20
days later Mrs. Studard was in the gar
ret again end I'.eard the cat's feeble cry
from the trunk. When the lid wns
lifted the cat had j mst strength enough
to climb out. It had torn the clothing
in the trunk all to pieces in its clawing
and had gnawed the sides nearly
through in several places. Itutperhaps
the most singular circumstance was
found in the manner in which the cut
took care of itself after securing lil
erty. Mrs. Stodard set before it a big
dish of milk and a big dish of water.
It would lap a little of each and then lie
down for a few minutes, when again
it would partake sparingly of the milk
nnd water, and this proceeding It con
tinued through the whole afternoon.
If that cat had been a human doubtless
it would have swallowed all that wns
placed before it at one gulp.
The statistics relating to the enre of
the poor are often interesting. In u cer
tain New England city they allow the
people w ho need the city's aid three dol
lars a week, and they order at certain
stores what they please up to that sum
weekly, and the lulls are sent to the
city auditor. The auditor, ns he reads
the bills, is greatly enlightened as to
the diet of the poor. There are fre
quently raisins, citron, and things that
are not usually supposed necessary to
support life, but one poor woman broke
the record when in the bill for one
week's supplies it wns found that 26
pies had been purchased. That, at ten
cent! a pie, exhausted $2.C0 of the city's
money, nnd there remained 40 cents to
apply the necessities. Another poor
Woman had purchased at the expense
of the city a pair of corsets.
Political life should lie listed as b
deadly disease, for it certainly causes
many a death. John Jf Scott, of Kirks
ville, Mo., committed suicide a few days
ago after having been defeated for city
marshal.
What was supposed to be a strange
disease 'that wns killing sheep in Wa
bash county, Ind., turns out to be por
cupine grnsa, which punctured the
sheep's skins nnd poisoned them.

P.ecr Drinking Cats
A mum exciting eat tight occurred s l
few days ago in the bark rcom of a !
(Jreenup (Ky.) saloon. Thirteen cuts
Ml there, reports a local exchange of
undoubted veracity, presumably to dis- j
Cilss plans by which they could most ef- I
fectualry disturb midnight slumbers,
when. In the midst of a duscuxsion and '
while a large Ion cat wns making an j
impussionate idtlrnss. a dispute arose !
and the fun began. Fur flew and a din
was made that aroused the town. It
was dangerous to attempt to quel) the t
riot, as the cats neemed perfectly wild.
After a few minutes they ceased from j
sheer exhaustion, und three cnts lay
tone dead, the others staggering off to
their various homes. They presented
OSh an appearance of iutoxicutiou
that George Motes, the barber, made an 1
investigation, and found that the eats
had been drinking beer which hnd been
left in a keg In the corner of the room. 1
He determined to watch the keg, and
late that evening saw a cot walk Into
the room, slyly creep to the keg, where
It drnnk until hilarious. This story
may appear incredible, but It is a fact, .
nevertheless.
A singular fatality has followed thu
party of Indiana people who recently
went from Indianapolis to Old Mexico.
Mrs. W. I). Owen, wiie of the former
secretary of state, it will Is? remem
bered, died suddenly while on the tri;:.
Mrs. A. C Daily, of Lebanon, li:d.,
whose husband was formerly a state
auditor, died quite a suddenly at home
last Sunday as Mrs. Owen had
died on the train. Judge Wiley,
of Loga s;ort, was mic of the
party, and on Tuesday he nar
rowly missed lielng run down by a
"Panhandle" express train while driv
ing across the track. Two others a
man und a woman are 111, and were at
Inst accounts reported In a critical con
dition. Indi anions generally arc be
ginning to confess to a superstitious
fear in the matter and to look over
the roster of that pleasure party with
the inquiry: "Who's next?"
There was recently born to Mr. nnd
Mrs. John 11. Ader, who live on a farm
west of Chebanse, 111., in the southern
part of Kankakee county, a girl baby,
The unusual character of this birth is
found in the circumstance that it was
the lirst female child born in the Ader
family for 53 years. The family was al
ways short on girls. Mr. and Mrs. Wil
liam Ader, Sr., came from Darmstadt,
Mayence, Germany, to this country a
great many years ago, dying in the 'su's,
aged .-4 and 78 years. They had one
daughter, Mrs. Philip Bauer, born i3
years ago, and inatricd '.',: years. From
the date of her birth until the arrival of
the little stranger a short time sinoa
she wus the only girl in the family.

Joints fell down a hole that was SO
feet iiei p. He was pulled out and found
to be unharmed. Moreover, It was seen
that he had kept a can containing beer
right side up us he fill, und hadn't
spilled a drop of the precious liulil.
Probably he owes his life to the beer.
His mind must have been to engrossed
with the task of saving it that he made
no effort to save himself and just
dropped naturally, anil it is a well
known fact that a fall is far less likely
to result in serious Injury when the per
son makes no struggle.
In Iown the schools haw a holiday
that is culll liird day, and efforts are
being iniMle to have it set aside in other
stutes. (hi this day original composi
tions were read about birds, the young
writers rinding out for themselves the
things they wrote about, the teachers
gave talks, debutes were held, and line
pictures of our feathered friends were
shown. One good thing that has been
done by this Bird day in Iowa is to stop
the boys from killing the helpless lit
tle songsters. As they study them and
know them more they grow to love und
protect them.
A scicnUlic authority informs us that

In a criminal prosecution recently
tried in York, Neb., the jury, after a
brief deliberation, returned the follow
ing verdict: A'e, the jury In the above

neither do we believe that any of the at
torneys have spoken the truth, nor that
cither of them could do bo, even If he

Then in the little college town, with
the money that an impressive and elab

Not a little perplexity is being causi d

"j'i ople over 5!) would do well to irive
Up milk and egg.. OS a diet," Dr. Dear
borne told the members of the New
York Rainy Day club. "These are the
structure-forming foods of animals
which mature In a short time, and when
tal- :i In quantities by human beings
whose structures have already formed
they tend only to the hardening anil
aging of the tissues." Dr. Dearborn e
said that he had seen people who were
beginning to find stair-climbing dllB
cult and who were losing their elastici
ty much benefited by eliminating these
articles from their diet, "There has
been a great Increase in the duration of
life bidow the age of 00, statistics
prove," he said, "but beyond that period
there hius been no Improvement." In
his opinion, the person over 50 should
have as good a chance to preserve life
as the ohlld just beginning its struggle
with existence.
A wealthy f.j-year-old widower in

"Wedding is otT. Papa says too much
