The arms are all attached to the same BODY
Impure blood reaches out in all directions
over the human body. It stretches out a
tentacle and grasps one organ or another
1t attacks the liver and the sufferer is said
to have liver complaint" It attacks the
lungs, and he is said to have consumption.
1t reaches his kidneys, and the doctors say
he has kidney disease and treat his kidneys
These so-called diseases are only symptoms.
They all reach back to the same cause, and
that cause is impure blood. And impure
blood is usually caused by imperfect diges-
ton. The way to kill devil fish is to at
tack its head and body. 1t might be killed by
cutting off its arms, but it would take long
time. While one was being cut of, others
would fasten themselves on the victim.
The way to cure disease is to cure the
cause of the diseaSe-to go right at the
head of the matter There is no use treat
ing symptoms. Disease cannot exist in a
body that is perfectly pure and full of
healthfull, strength giving properties. 1t
great medicine, the Golden Medical
Discovery" 1t Is because of its wonderful,
blood purifying and invigorating qualities
that this remedy is so marvellous in its eff
feet on diseases of the throat, bronchial
tubes and lungs. 1t cures ninety eight per
cent of all cases of consumption. 1t stops
lingering, chronic coughs, and builds up
those who are " rundown" emaciated or
debilitated from any cause. 1t makes sound,
firm, healthy flesh. 1t makes people strong.
1t invigorates the blood, and stimulates the
action of every organ in the body The
three things that it does are the three things
that must be done in every case before
health can come. 1t steadies and strength
ems the nerves; makes digestion perfect;
makes the blood pure and rich. There is
nothing in the world just like it. There is
nothing in the world that is just as good"
though dishonest druggists will sometimes
tell you so, for the sake of the profit they
will make on inferior articles.

At the home of q wealthy ranchman in Nebraska has taken placo unique reunion of friends who knew each other, at least some of them did, long ago. The circumstances were unusual, but tho meeting of the friends was perhaps all the more delightful en that account. Tho persons present on the occasion wero three men and woman. The lady was the center of the the combined maseu- line attention and was happy according ly. Perhaps she was all tho moro so be- cause at one time and another all three of the men had been married to her, one at time, i'll due order.
 When the lady was girl, she had lived in the pious and modest city of New York. There she married husband No l. He was q travelling salesman, and that may or may not account for tho fact that she got q divorce from him in short time. In Now Orleans she married again and went to live in another city almost as pious and modest as that in which she began her career- namely, Chicago Although the best of friends when not tied mp, however, the two found, as many another couple have, that they could not pull comfortably in double harness; hence again separation and divorce. The lady's cup of happi- ness became permanently full when she secured her third and present husband. It brimmed over and ran down when re- gently, in Nebraska town, the four of them. the three husbands and the lady, met and had joyous outing and drive at the luxurious ranchero home of hus- band No. 3. They had delightful time" and all drank joyfully to their next reunion

The request of tho Public Health as soeiation to President Mckinley that he incorporate i'll his message a recom- mendation for a commission to visit Ha- vana and investigate the origin of vel low fever is good one. It is from Ha- vana that the deadly yellow fever germ flies to the States, working such panic and destruction. The origin of tho soourge is, however, not difficult to trace. It is found ill the fact that since she first took possession of Cuba, four centuries ago. Spain has never dredged, eleansed or in any way disinfected the harbor of Havana. Yellow fever first originated in the filth cast into the wa ters of Havana harbor from the African sIaveships.

 "For many years have been Q great sufferer with varicose veins on one of my limbs. My foot and limb became dread- fully swollen. When l stood up could feel the blood rushing down the veins of this limb One day accidentally hit my foot against some object and sore broke out which continued to spread and was exceedingly painful l concluded l needed blood purifier and began taking Hoods Sarsaparilla. In Q short time those dreadful sores which had caused me so much suffering, began to heal. kept on faithfully with Hoods Sarsapa- rilla, and in short time my limb was completely healed and tho sores gave me no more pain. cannot be too thankful for the wonderful work Hoods Sarsapa- riIla, has done for me.n MRS A.

lV aHd should really always he long ara trailing in order to have good effect, al- though it is often seen on short gowns. 4 very pretty new back is one that is gath cred at the neck and waist, and is also held in at the latter place by a broad band, which goes across tho back only, being sewed in at the seams which join tho side pieces to tho back. Dark blue and white ohallio trimmed with white lace makes neat and pleasing wrappers, which, when lined throughout, arc warm enough for autumn and winter wear.
 Very narrow ribbon and very narrow velvet in black and eolors are popular trimmings and are to be very much worn. They are especially suitable for ehildren's gowns

MORNING COSTUMES.
Many Pretty Vatican Bacss Fes
 House Gowns.


 Pretty morning gowns for the house are made in two pieces. The skirt is uniined and touches tho ground all around The bodice is in the form of an empire jacket or loose sack. Often it is accordion plait- ed. Tho costume may be rendered elegant by n yoke of lace and by ribbon bows. Cashmere challie and nuns yelling are suitable materials Very attractive morn. ing jackets are likewise made with a fitted back and a loose front, with royers, show ing q full vest These jackets are of cot. ton, wooden or silk goods and arc suscep- tible of great elaboration by the use of jabots of lace or embroidery and applica- tions of guipure.
 The vatican back for wrappers and house gowns seems to be perennially in vogue. It must be held in place by fitted lining underneath in order to hang proper
