ELKS' "TEETH" LITTLE WORN.
the Use of the Bones Ii to
. Indians and Members u
: Fraternity

The recent advertisement in a jew
clers' weekly Of S elk teeth for SALE"
with an invitation to write for prices
and samples, led to an inquiry. Though
the notice appears among others
which advertise precious stones, and
might lead one to believe hat the
TnaSticators could be turned to pur-
poses Of personal establishment, it is
nevertheless true that they are worn
TO a very limited degree, says the New
York Times.
Taxidermists say that the "teeth"
are not teeth at all, in the common
sense. They lie clear and clean of any
tooth in the elk's head. They are in
either side of the upper jaw. two inches
from the front of the mouth. Imme-
diately beneath the tooth" is a tooth
less hollow. The part of the tooth"
below thu gum bulges blunt and round,
and is similar in shape to some Of the
wooden golf sticks.
The taXidermists say they do not
know what use these organs are to
their original possessors. In trade
they bring u fair price. because they
are used as the insignia Of the Order
Of Elks. The American Indians use the
"teeth" for ornament, often in the
form of wearing apparel or necklaces.

DRINKS IN H DAYS.

The earliest mention of wine in the
Bible is n reference to Noah planting
a vineyard and getting drunk with
the wine.
The Roman lover, when drinking to
his lady, often drank as many cups Of
wine as there were letters in her name.
Warm water was sometimes regarded
by the Romans as an agreeable drink,
the conclusion of the chief meal.
Famous among drinkers were the
Vikings, whose liquors were ale, beer,
wine and mead. Quafing ale from the
skulls of their enemies formed one
of the chief attractions of the prom
ised Valhalla.
The Egyptians, who have been I'M
gallant enough to leave behind them
delineations Of the fair sex in q state
of intoxication, had several kinds of
wine more than COCO years ago, in ad-
dition to a beer called hega, madefrom
barley.
A drink much in demand in the time
of Chaucer was bracket, made of the
wort of ale, honey and spices. BY the
time of Edward ~. drinking had be-
come so productive of crime that few
places we're allowed more than two
taverns. London had to be content
with 40.
The drinks of antiquity were some
times, to say the least, peculiar. The
Greeks and Romans, whose customary
drink was wine, often mixed it with
sea water. Other ancient beverages
were honey and rainwater; honey,
salt water and vinegar, and a mixture,
of honey and myrtle seed.

SCROFULA
It is Foul Blood's Advertise.
ment
But Il Is Soon Cured by Hoods
SarsapariIla.


Yes, scrofula, II ftanything, may ba called
the advertisement of foul blood. 1t is the
scourge Of the world offensive, painful,
debilitating, stubborn and well nigh
unenGurable.
Outward applications tlo not cure, they
only drive the difficulty to new quarters.
Emollients may palliate, they cannot
abolish the evil. There is but one sure
way out, and that is to eliminate the
taint from the blood.
There is one remedy that can effect this,
and it is the only one that, so far as we
know, has almost invariably succeeded
even where the system has been poisoned
by long years OF taint, and the ravages to
be repaired are tremendous. That remedy
is Hoods Sarsaparilla. Read this:
"My daughter was afflicted with i'm
pure blood. There were running sores
all over her body and they caused her
much suffering. We tried medicines that
were recommended as blood purifiers,
but could not see that they did any good.
A friend told me about Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla and began giving the girl this med
icine. The result was that she was per-
fectly cured after taking few bottles.
She has had no symptoms OF scrofula
sores since that time" MARIETTA M.
