SKIN DISEASES.

What spectacle is more disgusting than that
of man or woman with skin disease which
shows itself in pimples or blotches on hands,
arms, face and neck? 1t is simply impure blood.
See what BRANDRETH's Pills did for a
chronic case:
George Chapman, Pincening Mich, says:
"For four years was in the Mounted In
fantry in the U. S. Army, residing during that
time principally in Texas Almost Iall OF that
time had a chronic skin disease, characterized
by an eruption over the entire surface of my
legs and thighs. arms and chest. The doctors
termed it eczema. had given up all hopes of
ever being cured, when BRANDRETH's PILLS
were recommended to me. 1 concluded to try
them, and I have thanked God daily since then
that did so. / used them for about three
months, ana by that time. was completely cured
and have never been troubled since.'

This vest front is calculated to be worn
with black silk or satin gown to give
1t more dressy effect. The black jabot
FAN be worn at any time.
There are shoes made particularly for
elderly ladies who prefer comfort to
looks, broad, of soft material and with
low common sense heel, but for those
who like dainty slippers there are some
rs pretty as their granddaughter wear,
with rather lower and wider heels. Pru-
nella, patent leather and soft kid are the
materials most liked, and they have
pretty buckles and beaded bows.
Few ladies past go have not had to
wear mourning, and it may be said that
DO women out of 100 over that age wear
black only. When that is the case, the
double shawl is the most elegant and
comfortable wrap. When black only is
worn, it leaves little limit for choice in
fashion, but there are endless combina-
lions in black with white tulle and
Iaces. OLIVE HARPER-

Speaks Of It's Value.

There is many millionaire today who
would have been failure if he had not
been assisted at the proper time.
The art of being successful lies not SO
much in ability as opportunity.
How many man has been saved by
the opportune bestowal of a few hundred
dollars, when, if he had failed to get the
few hundreds just when he did, he would
have been failure!
How many men are lying under the
snow, in lonesome cemeteries, who
might be alive and well today, if they
could have only known that they could
have found life and health in bottle Of
Kings Sarsaparilla.

Kidney troubles, deranged liver, dys-

signs of impending illness, can all be
cured by a few bottles of Kings Sarsa-
parilla.
j, This remedy is indeed, what DR.. Bray,
Maine's distinguished surgeon and physi-
elan, happily called it. "The Monarch
Of SarsaparAlas."
DR.. Bray recommends Kings Sarsa-
sparilla as splendid tonic and blood en-
richer. He says:
at acorks on the Iiuer and stomach in
most beneficial aUay, and to my personal
knowledge, say, It contains not one
solitary ounce Of anything Of the least
harmful mature. IN nay seventeen gears
practice, I haze neuer found a prepara-
ton so beautifully efectual n the curing
Of blood, skin, liuer, kidney, and stomach
troubles, as King's sarsapariIIa."

A Sensation of tho First Water.

A very funny occurrence took place
recently in southwestern Oregon, near
the Del Norte county line. The Crescent
City Record publishes each week a
batch OF items taken fiom its files of
thirty-eight years ago. A short time
since the story of the Indian massacre
OF settlers on the Klamath river was re-
counted. A subscriber of the Re,ord
living at Gold Beach, Ore, read the
blood-curdling story, but neglected to
notice that 1t was an event that oc-
Cured almost forty years ago. Fancy
ing that the massacre had Just taken
place and there was danger of a general
outbreak, he at once proceeded to
the neighborhood. Notices were posted,
a public meeting called and a company
OF volunteers organized to proceed at
once to take the field against the blood
thirsty Indians. Finally the idea
struck some one that it would be well
to communicate with Crescent City and
ascertain the exact state of affairs. The
fact was then developed that the orig
inator OF the movement was nearly four
decades behind in his history.-San
Francisco Chronicle.
