Once or twice a year the good house
wife has thorough house cleaning. The
house has been swept and busted every
day in the year, but the housewife knows
that in spite of vigilance dust accutnu-
lates in cracks and corners, and ls only
to be removed by special effort:
It's the same way with the body. You
look after it every day. You take all
the ordinary precautions of cleanliness
and health. Yet the body needs its
special cleaning to nd it of the accuniu-
lations of waste and poisonous matter
which invite disease Doctor Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, taken regu-
larly once or twice year, would save
many sickness. 1t purifies the blood,
strengthens the stomach, and cleanses
the body of poisonous accumulatlons.

South African Situation Assumes a
More Pacific Appcarance-Kansas
City Commission Firms Caught by
a Band of Swindiers.
Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review.

Ouu W. NceAly 1hCVtcW.
New York: r.. q. Dun & Co.'s Weekly
Review of Trade says: The sky is still
cloudless and no disquieting change has
come during the week. In spite of more
warlike news about South Africa the Bank
of England behaves as if the worst posi-
BILE had been fully provided for, and this
country has no reason to fear trouble from
that source unless English markets have
become so overloaded as to need help. The
marketing of domestic products, both farm
and manufactured, continues surprisingly
large for the season. Failures are few,
strikes scarce and readily settled, and the
passage of Sept. ] without pressure means
reasonable safety for months ahead.
Failures for the first week of September
have been $7l5,5G0 against Sill 1893 last
year; manufacturing s2l2,25S, against
$22s,6o2 last year, and trading s466,3l3
against $70S,9 1911 last year. Failures for the
week have been 1872 in the United States,
against 1G4 last year, and 80 in Canada,
against IL last wear.
