Too
Much Knife S!

The use of the surgeons knife Is be-
coming SO general, resulting fatally
In such large number of cases, as to
occasion general alarm. The press al
noet daily announces the death of some
unfortunate whose system could not
Withstand the shock of an operation,
and whose life was cruelty sacrificed to
the keen blade of the surgeon.
OF course, In some instances an
operation is necessary, and is the
only means Of saving life, but such cases
are exceedingly rare. So many deaths
occur under these conditions, however,
that the public is beginning to realize
that the doctors are too hasty in resort
Ing to the knife, and if such a state of
affairs continues, there will before long
be general uprising against such meas
ures. It Is but reasonable to believe
that the majority of operations are
unnecessary, but when the fatal mistake
10 discovered too late, only the doctors
ever know of their error, and though q
precious life is given up, the public is
assured that death would have resulted
in spite of the operation, and who is
ever the wiserf
The folly of resorting to the knife in
cases of cancer, is demonstrated every
time it Is undertaken. The disease is
In the blood and the cancer or sore is
but the outward manifestation of
terrible condition of the entire circu1a-
ton. To cut out this sore, therefore,
does not in any way effect the disease,
and it can easily be seen that the only
correct treatment is to get at the seat Of
the disease, and purify the blood; the
sore will then heal up naturally. S.S.S.
Is the most powerful blood remedy made,
and Is the only cure for cancer.

THE PARROT WAS ARRESTED.
Polly Rebuked a Maiden With All
Sorts of Profanity.

An interesting question has been
raised in Chicago by the arrest and de-
tention of green parrot with a yell
low head and very distressing manners.
The man who had the bird for sale was
arrested also, but that is a mere detail.
The offense was committed by the par
rot, and the vender, one Reuben
Singer, could not possibly have pre-
vented it. Singer, therefore, is in Jail
simply because he is fond of Polly, or
regards Polly as d most valuable ami
mal-not because of any crime of his
own.
1t happened this way: AS Singer was
passing along the street with the par
rot sitting meekly on his shoulder and
looking as amiable as a pat of butter, a
lady accOsted him. She was not ridic-
ulcusly young or ravishingly pretty.
She was a spinSter of reserved man
nerS and severe aspect. She suggested
in fact, a person who took gloomy
views of the neighbors' morals. and
would never be satisfied with this side
of heaven. She couldn't however re-
sist the inclination which. all of US poor,
fallible mortals feel in the presence of
a parrot, so she stopped Reuben Sing
er and accosted the parrot in the con-
ventional way: Pretty Pollyi Polly
want a cracker?" The bird looked at
her with one dyspeptic eye, but said
nothing Then the lady extended her
hand and essayed to stroke the parrot 8
head repeating what she had previous
ly said about pretty Polly and the ira
ditional cracker At that Polly raised
herself-or himSelf-and said, in a loud
and angry voice: Il amt pretty, and
You know it, and / don't want any of
your id old cracker either, and if
you don't get out of here, you Wrinkled
cid cat, PHI and with this he took
hold Of her finger and made the nip
rers of his beak meet in the lady's ago
nized flesh. Here the lady screamed
and snatched her finger away and
then the parrot set in and began to
blaspheme with such violence and flu
ency that the whole vicinity stood
aghast- He called the lady every name
he could think of and commented upon
her character and appearance in terms
altogether unfit for publication. The
lady tainted, and a big policeman took
the bird to the lookup.
The question now is whether a par
rot can be arrested and punished for
using profane and indecent language in
public, and for the solution we shall
look with great anxiety. - Wash

FORTY YEARS AGO.
Marysville Appeal: 1t is interesting
to recall that the most important day
OF the Republican Convention at ST.
Louis, June 18th, and the very day
when. forty years ago, June II, 1906,
the first Republican Convention was
held, and the weak young political
party was christened and let loose on
the world. White-haired Jessie FIRE.

band, gallant John G. Fremont. one of
the most brilliant and picturesque fig
ures Of his time. man TO call

didate of the feeble little Republican
party.
THE DEMOCRATIC POSITION.
Nevada City Herald: The Demo-
cratic politicians who pitched upon the
silver question as a means to evade the
responsibility for Democratic incompe
tency and utter incapacity to carry on
the Government are very liable to find
that, like Pandora, they have let loose
evils which are utterly beyond their
control. No one believes who has
watched the course of events in the
past four years that there exists in the
Democracy such an overwhelming de-
nIand for free silver as the present
course of events seems to indicate. The
present movement is Enthusiastically
Democratic There never was a time in
the history of the Democratic party
when it did not seek to avail itself of
every movement that indicated a spirit
of discomfort and dissatisfaction with
general conditions.
1t has never waged political warfare
on the lines of political courage and ad
herence to principle. II does not exist
to vindicate the eternal principles of
right and justice. It lives only for pres
ent success, and the silver question is
only makeshift on which to wage the
coming battle. There is no room in it's
councils for men who stand for princi-
pie, who have the foresight to look for
ward to the time when the mistakes
made now will bring humiliation and
defeat.
A political party can no more afford
to commit itself to a policy which can
only answer for a day than the indi-
vidual can live a life whose horizon is
bounded only by the rising and the set
ting of the sun.

WHEN IN THE COUNTRY
Live Close to Nature, Seek Repose
and Cultivate Serenity of Manner.

In an editorial in the July Ladies'
Home Journal Edward w. Box dis
cusSeS when We Are In the Country -
a text he employs to show how far we
are departing from the purpose resi-
dents of cities used to have in going to
the country during the summer time.
Formerly going into the country meant
ar escape from city convenHfonalitieS !;
a living close to nature, in the pure air
and bright sunlight; change of scenes,
or interests, and of pastimes; absolute
freedom from the tyranny of fashion.
Mr.. Box contends that this has been
entirely changed, and the benefits of the
summer outings have been largely lost.
ConventionalJties have robbed the coun-
try of it's greatest charm; and the di-
versions, pastimes, the nervous rush
and hurry of the city have been trans
planted to the country, and Mr.. Box we'll
says: I'VE cannot afford to convention
alize the country. There is no truer
saying than that God made the coun-
try and man made the town. and we
ought to carry out the spirit of those
words. When we go to the country let
US get out of it what we go for: rest,
| outdoor life and early hours-early,
7 mean at night as well as in the morn
ing. Let us live truly in the country,
and do as the country people do. Let
us dismiss, during the only reStful time
OF the year-aS the summer is to so
many of us-thought CT dress, of indoor
amusements, of marters of any kind
| that are apt to keep the mind at work
and the body indoors. Let us seek re-
| pose-Somathing which so many of US
need. Our life during the winter makes
us carry about with us an air of dis
traction and nervous worry. In summer
/ let us cultivate serenity of manner
There is a re5tfulness about the restless
sea that is peculiarly soothing and
Nondrously helpful to city people
There is qufetness in q lea'fy bower not
to be had anywhere else on Gods foot

| ly amid such surroundings. II lis the
absolute calm and quiet of leissure1y en-
! joyment which SO many natures crave,
and which should be given them. And
it is possible to attain this i'm the coun-

up our minds to have it, Let us then use

Ears and doilies, throwing our whole

TO submit to an operation, is to volun-
tarily endanger ones life, without the
slightest hope of being benefited.
Mr.. William Walpole, is a wealthy
planter residing at Walshtown, South
Dakota, and is well known all over the

who pronounced It cancer, and said that
1t must be cut out. This I would not
consent to, having little faith in the in
discriminate nse of the knife, though I
was alarmed at my condition. Reading
Of the many cures made by S.S.S., I
determined to give that medicine q trial,
and after I had taken il a few days, the
cancer became irritated and began to dis

a small scab, which finally dropped off,
and only a healthy looking little
scar remained to mark the place where
the destroyer had held full sway Words
