morning to pane for Ma net ply, and'
on going to tlie pen found that n beat

carried the pig away. Mr. Thomaa, to
irive expression t his feellaga at the
loss of ids pip, bowed blmasU down
anil in an earnest way prayed that the
bear might In- choked to depth by the
bonei of the pig. The next day Mr.

The president of n large telcphon
system has offered to pay n million dol
lars for a telephone repeater which
would be as efficient in telephony as the
'elegraph repeater is in telegraphy
Vrom the earliest days of the telephone
o the. present time inventors hove
sought to make such repeaters, and ns
early ns 1S76 it was thought thut the
problem had been soived. It is prob
able that If such a plan is invented, the
experiments leading up to it will be
along entirely new lines, for already a
.large number of trained telephone in
ventors have tried their hands at it and
have failed.

It Is estimated that the "bread eat
ing" population of the world wfH need
during the coming year 2,360,000000
WtsTiels of wheat. The test estimates
are that the total production for the
same period will be 1,380,000,000 bush
els. In spite of the largely iiicrue1
crop harvested during the last few
ytnr the demand, due. to lru-reasoil
population! has Increased even more
rapidly. It .is no longer possible to ac
cumulate great stores of wheat and
carry them over from one ntfrni to the
next.

HOME CURE
FOR BLOOD POISON.

Beware of the Doctors'
Patchwork; You Can
Cure Yourself at Home.
'I had spent a
There is not the slightest doubt that the
doctors do more harm than good in treating
Contagious Blood Poison; many victims of
this loathsome disease would be much better
off to-day if they had never allowed them
selves to be dosed on mercury and potash, the
only remedies which the doctors ever give for
blood poison.
The doctors are wnouy unsme xo ge rta oi
this rile poison, and only attempt to heal up the outward appearance of the
disease the sores and eruptions. This they do by driving the poison into the
system, and endeavor to keep it shut in with their constant doses of potash
and mercury. The mouth and throat and other delicate parts then break out
into sores, and the fight is continued Indefinitely, the drugs doing thesystem
more damage than the disease itaeir.
Mr. H. L. Myers, 100 Mulberry St., Newark, N. J., says:
hundred dollars with the doctors, when I realised that
they could do me no good. I had large spots all over my
bedy, and these soon broke out into running sores, and 1
endured all the suffering which this vile disease pro
duces. I decided to try S. 8. 8. as a last resort, and was
soon greatly improved. I followed closely your 'Direc
tions for Self-Treatment,' and the large splotches on my
chest began to grow paler and smaller, and before long
disappeared entirely. 1 was soon cured perfectly and my
skin has been as clear as glass ever since. 1 cured my
self ut home, after the doctors had failed completely."
It is valuable time thrown away to expect the doctors
to cure Contagious Blood Poison, for the disease is be
yond their skill. Swifts Specific

nets in nn entirely different way from potash and mercury it forces the
poison out of the system and gets' rid of it entirely. Hence it cures the
disease, while other remedies only shut the poison in where It lurks forever,
