Poisoned BY Scrofula

Is the sad story of many lives
made miserable through no fault Of
their own. Scrofula is more especial
ly than any other a hereditary dis
ease, and for this simple reason:
Arising from impure and insufficient
blood, the disease locates itself in the
the TEMPLATES, which are composed
of white tissues; there is a period Of
foetal life when the whole body con-
sists of white tissues, and therefore
the unborn child is especially sus-
ceptible to this dreadful disease. But
there is remedy for scrofula, wheth-
er hereditary or acquired. 1t is Hoods
Sarsaparilla, which by its powerful
effect on the blood, expels all trace of
the disease and gives to the vital
fluid the quality and color of health,
If you decide to take Hoods Sarsap-
arilla do not accept any substitute.

The Exports of Breadstuffs.

The magnitude of the present ex-
port movement is shown by the fact
that in the month of August, just
closed, the United States exported
q, 400, $40 bushels of wheat and $780,
795 barrels of -four. At four and one
half bushels of wheat as the equiva>
lent of one barrel of four, the flour
export equals 3,77O,O77 bushels of
wheat. This makes the total ship
ment of wheat in August 1929, OPS
bushels, while in August last year we
shipped only 100000 bushels against
100000 the year before, and about
the some quantity in August, 1888.
In fact, the United States exported
the past August almost forty per cent
of the quantity of wheat we shipped
in the first eight months Of last year
following one of the largest wheat
crops on record, and almost half as
much as was exported in the first
eight months of 1889. Such an
enormous and unprecedented August
export of wheat testifies to the shad.
ow of famine that lowers over
Europe, and to the fact that present
prices of wheat are far below the
natural value of the grain.

London Shop Girls.

Whatever money is paid to working
women or shop girls in these big stores
is so much over and above their board
and lodging. In Whitley's establish
ment the wages run from 600 to e7O
year for the female clerk. Out of this
they are only obliged to provide their
clothing; everything else is furnished
them. A shop girl in New York would
think she was doing pretty well to receive
from 50 to $12 a week over and above
her living expenses, even if she had to
wear black silk dresses every day
when she reached the $40 grade. The
purchasing power of dollar, so far as
clothing is concerned, is double what it
is in our country. But imagine our in
dependent American girl would prefer to
struggle along with the meager salary
most of them receive with the power to
come and go as they please rather than
to live in the cock loft over the store and
have no care as to what she shall eat and
where she shall sleep, but be obliged to
live up to certain rules and be in the
house every night at II o'clock in the
evening. Thus the hours are shorter
with the English shop girl, and the work,
as a rule, lighter.-[London Letter to
Pittsburg Dispatch.
