Inherited blood diseases are much
more difficult to cure than those which
are acquired. One of the most common
hereditary diseases is Scrofula, which
the medical profession admit is mosl
obstinate and deepseated, and their ef-
forts to cure it meet with little success,
A child afflicted with Scrofula is always
puny and sickly, and can never grow
into healthy manhood until the disease
is eliminated. Scrofula leads into con-
sumption nine times out of ten, so that
it is important for this reason that im-
mediate attention be given to all chil-
dren who inherit the slightest taint.
Mrs. S. S. Mabry, 360 Elm SL, Macon,
Ga., writes:
“My boy, Charlie, inherited a scrofu-
lous blood taint, and from infancy was
covered with terrible sores, his sufferings
being such that it was impossible to
dress him for three years.
CHARLIE MABRY
His head and body were a mass
Of sores, and his nose was swollen to
several times its natural size; to add to
his misery he had catarrh, which made
him almost deaf, and his eyesight also
became affected. No treatment was
spared that we thought would relieve
him, but he grew worse until his condi-
tion was indeed pitiable. A dozen blood
remedies were given him by the whole-
sale, but they did not the slightest good.
I had almost despaired of his ever being
cured, when by the advice of a frieud we
gave him S.S.S. (Swift’s Specific), and
at first the inflammation seemed to in-
crease, but as this is the way the remedy
gets rid of the poison, by forcing it out
of the system, we were encouraged and
continued the medicine. A decided im-
provement was the result, and after he
had taken a dozen bottles, no one who
knew of his former dreadful condition
would have recognized him. All the
Bore? on his body have healed, his skin
is perfectly clear and smooth, and he
has been restored to perfect health.”
j Mr. A. T. Morgan, one of the promi-
nent druggists of Macon, and a member
of the board of aldermen of that city,
says: “I am familiar with the terrible
condition of little Charlie Mabry, and
the cure which S.S.S. effected in his
case was remarkable, and proves it to
be a wonderful blood remedy.”
S.S.S. is the only cure for deepseated
blood diseases, such as Scrofula, Rheu-
matism, Cancer, Eczema, Catarrh, etc.
It is the only blood remedy guaranteed

WHITE TOPAZ.
Beautiful Stones to Be Seen at tie
Diamond Palace.
Every day in the week and every
hour in the day one can see crowds
around the show windows of THE
CHICAGO DIAMOND PALACE. The
cause of it all is the now widely known
White Topaz. The White Topaz, or
carbonated diamonds, have come to be
recognized as the nearest thing on
earth to genuine diamonds, so near in-
deed is it that the proprietors of the
DIAMOND PALACE do not hesitate to
place real diamonds in their windows
amidst their display of White Topaz,
and allow the public to pick them out
at the selling price of the Topaz.
The latter stones have all the lovely
brilliancy of the diamonds, sparkling
steadily and with wonderful fire. The
thousands of these stones in the win-
dows forms one of the most gorgeous
displays and has proven an attraction
which is one of the features of Chi-
cago.
In order to find out the advertising
medium best suited to their business,
this enterprising concern offers to send
a genuine White Topaz to all those,
who will cut out and send them their
advertisement, which appears else-
where in this paper, together with 25c
in stamps.
THE DIAMOND PALACE, like all
successful institutions, has many imi-
tators, who endeavor to sell cheap
rhinestones and other pastes claiming
they are topaz. We caution the pub-
lic to be careful, as THE DIAMOND
PALACE, American Express building,
Chicago, are the sole importers of these
stones.___5

to move out of the state rather than to
pay their share of the taxes. The states
should have tax laws so uniform as to
prevent such a method of dodging. If
these very rich men were to leave the
United States they ■would find many
places in which they would be required
to share the public burdens.

SUMMER CARE OF BLANKETS.
Blankets which have been used all win-
ter, no matter how- white, are never clean,
and should be washed before putting away.
Many housekeepers satisfy themselves by
shaking and airing their blankets rather
than risk spoiling them in washing. But
this is a mistake, for if the work is prop-
erly done no shrinking will take place, and
the fleecy soft appearance may be retained,
as well the color, for years. The necessary
thing in washing blankets is to have plenty
of soft water and good pure soap. Inferior
soap is really the cause of the damage
done woolen goods in washing. It hardens
the fibre and yellows the fabric. When
ready to begin the work shake the blan-
kets free of dust, fill a tub half full of hot
water. Dissolve a third of a cake of Ivory
Soap in it. Put one blanket in at a time.
Dip up and down and wash gently with
the hands. Never rub soap on blankets,
or wa.sk them on the washboard. After
the blankets are clean, rinse in warm water
until free of suds. Add a little blueing to
the last water. Shake and squeeze; then
hang on the line until dry. Take down,
fold, lay under a weight for a day or two,
and pack securely iu a box and cover.
Blankets thus washed will retain their
original freshness as well as wear three
times as long as if put away soiled year,
after year. Eliza R. Paiiker. .

A Wonderful Automata.
If you have ever purchased a pack-
age of postal cards you have perhaps
noticed that the strip of paper sur-
rounding it looked as though it had
oeen put there in a great hurry. So it
Is, but not by nervous human hands.
In the service of the government at
Washington are two machines which
were made in Connecticut. These
machines are capable of counting 500,-
000 cards in ten hours and of sepa-
rating, wrapping and sealing them in
packages of twenty-five each. The
itrip of paper which goes around them
is pulled off a drum by two long fin-
gers, and another iron finger dips int
a pot of mucilage and applies itself
to the paper in exactly the right spot
Another part of the machine wraps the
strip of paper about the cards, a thumb-
like apparatus presses upon the muci-
lage spot, and the package is thrown
upon a carrier and is ready for deliv-
ery.

LOST C0KTB0L OF HER NERVES.
A Helpless, Paiuft.il Condition.
From Che Tribune, Minneapolis. Minn.
It i9 said that the present genera-
tion is living- in an era of nervousness.
Some attribute the cause to the climate
of our country; if there is an atmos-
pheric effect it certainly is the least of
the causes that produce nervousness.
MRS. C. n. GUISE!.
The great freedom enjoyed by tbe
American people is in a iarge measure
to blame for the high-strung condition
of our nerves. There is rustle and
hustle on every hand. There are ex-
cursions, picnics and long journeys.
We work days and plan during the
nights, and in our hurry we bolt our
food, sleep with irregularity, with sel-
dom a thought of our nerves.
Mrs. C. H. Guise, of 410 Central
Avenue, East Minneapolis, had the
misfortune to suffer constantly from
| nervousness, and her trouble was ag-
gravated by want of sleep. Night
after night, of sleeplessness had created
a worn out condition and she some-
times would jerk and jump uncon-
sciously. ' i
In relating her experience to a Tri-
bune representative, she said:
“I wish to state to you the great
benefit I have derived from Dr. Wil-
liams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. For
many months I was afflicted with nerv-
ous debility and could get no relief,
until I began using the Pink Pill.-, the
required result came very scon, and I
hope I may have the privilege of recom-
mending them to everyone suffering
as I did, for I am certain the medicine
gives instant relief without any bad re-
sults.

Dr. Williams’ Pink Fills contain, in
a condensed form, all the elements
necessary to give new life and richness

forms of weakness. They build up the
blood, and restore the glow of health
to pale and sallow cheeks. In men they
effect a radical cure in all cases arising
from mental worry, overwork or ex.
cesses of whatever nature. Pink Pills
are sold in boxes (never in loose bulk’

The celebration of the queen’s dia-
mond jubilbe will bring many veterans
to the front, but there can scarcely
be one more interesting than Lord
Leicester. His statement that he act-
ed as page to the Duke of Sussex at
her majesty’s coronation can be sup-
plemented by the fact that he is prob-
ably the only man who, having him-
self lived through the longest reign in
British history, can claim that his
father li\ed through the next longest,
that of George III.
