Specific BloodPpison
Everyone realizes that this disease is a blood infection of the most pow-
erful nature, the Tiros of which so thoroughly poisons the corpuscles of
tha circulation that its symptoms are manifested over almost the entire
body. First comes a tiny sore or pimple, then the mouth and throat ul-
cerate, glanda in the groin swell, the hair begins to fall out, skin diseases
break out on the body, and even the bones ache with rheumatic .pains.
Only a real blood purifier can have any curative effect on a blood poison so
powerful as this. 3. 8. 3. is the greatest of ell blood purifiers; it goes
into the circulation and by thoroughly cleansing the blood of every parti-
cle of the insidious virus makes a permanent and lasting cure of Specific
Blood Poison. If you are suffering with this disease
«eKE SAP, S. 8. S. will cure you because it will purify your blood
"V" "IE and enrich its health-promoting corpuscles. 8. 8. S. is
e C C so absolutely safe and certain in its resulta, that every-
3.3.3. one may cure themselves at home and be assured the
cure will be permanent and lasting. 3. 3 8. is a purely
REMEDY vegetable remedy, being made entirely of roots, herbs
and barks, and it will certainly cure Specific Blood
Poison In all of its forms and stages. Home Treatment Book and medical

LONDON, Doo. ID—Stories of expe-
riences during the Christmas gales in
I the English Channel were told by
many of the SOD passengers on the
I Pennsylvania and Oriental liner Na-
rung, which arrived in the Thames to-
day.
The vessel, which had come from the
Far East, encounter*! the full force of
the hurricane off Ushant, on the
French const, on Christmas morning
Great waves washed the vessel’s
docks and flooded most of the cabins.
Ths passengers, driven from their
berths in their night clothes, were
compelled to sit for many hours knee
dep in water. Finally a terrific
broadside of high waves struck ths
vessel and crippled her. Wireless
messages were sent asking assistance,
but before this arrived the captain had
once more got his vessel under control
and was making his way as best he
could toward the mouth of the Thames,
where the Narung arrived with a heavy
list and with everything on the decks
smashed, torn or washed away.
From most ot the southern porta
come reports of the arrival of storm-
damaged vessels. Many of them were
compelled to abandon the voyage on
which they had started because of the
injuries they had suffered during the
eerie* of hurricanes.

Beales of Belton and W, C. Martin ot

strucHon of Fisher County, were mar-
ried at Belton yesterday in the homo
of Mr and Mre W E Boobor»ugh. The
present mods of world’s series pro- |
cod uro.
For it would in itself bo a world's
series of the most profoundly preten-
tious style. There would be no quaa-
tion then as to the ultimate winner
being he very beet collection in fast .
company. According to the lights of
the chairman of the National Commis-
sion, all the present benellte "of the
present world's series would bo main-
tained. Other benefits of broad reach
would accrue while most of the exist-
ing evils of the present vost-heason
classic would be eliminated.
Let us ftrat consider Herrmann's
scheme. It embraces two seasons—at
least two pennant races each year. He
would shorten the playing seaaon in
the respective major leagues to ill
games each The winner in each divi-
sion would be hailed a champion of that
league But there the honor would end
unless the team could substantiate it
throughout the succeeding interleague
contest.
The interleague competition, or new 1
world’s series, would begin immediately '
after the close of the shortened major ;
league campaigns. As each National
league team would play home and home
games With each American league
team this would add thirty extra
series. Allowing for two-game series,
it would require no more than sixty
games for each club after the regular
season enued, or bringing the entire
schedule of the year plsying the
world's championships included—up to
172 games.
Now 171 games sounds like a terri-
ble task for the poor, down-trodden
athletes, but I am very much inclined
to think that, under the advantages
which Mr. Herrmann proposes there
will be no objection from that score.
The object for ratification by the play-
ing fraternity will be dealt with
shortly As to the 172-game scheduie,
the American Association has suceess-
fully proven feasible a campaign of 168
contests—just four shy of the new
scheme. The National league a few
। years ago had a 191-game draft fath-
ered by C. H bbets that wouid have
enabled the club owners to begin no
earlier than usual and to close before
Oct 19. It is unusual, indeed, that ths
world's series ends before this latter
date, to which major league players
draw salaries.
No one begrudges a star ball player
getting a little extra salary after the
suppose that the major league player
would be delighted to work right up
to the end of his contract time if he
had a chance to earn much more than
the pin money he now draws down.
And in the new order of things he
would, for Mr Herrmann's scheme pro-
tects the interests of the second divi-
sion clubs as well as the first division
clubs.
His idea is to let all ths major lean us
players in on ths world's series spoils.
Of enurea, Ihara muat be an incentive
to victory, and accordingly tbs team to
finish first in the ipterleague world's
series would drawn down far, far mors
per man than ths team that finished
third or tenth or last As Ie quits
proper, the lion's share should go to
the visitor*, but there would be some
consolation for the also rana
Mr Herrmann would set anide a very
hansome percentage of all the gate
rrcrlpta of the slaty games to form
a players' pool. Without too severely
taxing the coffers of the magnutes he
belleves that tha fund could be trebled
