CANGE IL

Sufferers from this horrible malady
nearly always inherit it-not necessarily
from the parents. but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant in the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its ap-
pearance or a swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part of the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma-
nently all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blood-every vestage
of it driven out. This s. s. S. does, and
is the only medicine that can reach deep
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this
When all the poison has been forced out
of the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns.
Cancer begins often in small way, as the
following letter from Mrs. Shirer shows !:

But your mother-what will she

MY dearest, have you not just now
told me who you really are? Had l

gladly have welcomed you as her
daughter, so why should she not well
come you now?"
When, an hour later, Mrs. FaIconer
came into the library her consterna-

position OF her son and housemaid.
"Leslie!" she exclaimed.
Hush, mother, and let me explain.

AN IOWA MANS IDEA.
Photographic Knapsack for Private
or Public Dances.
Young Men Carry the Strange De-
vice on Their Backs and Grind
Out Two steps and waltxes
at a Lively Kate

The Photographic knapsack is the
invention of an Iowa genius. His idea
is to place an ordinary monograph
in knapsack that can be carried on a
mans back. The photograph has two
sets of receivers to be placed at the
ears. These receivers are fitted into
an arrangement SO that they can be
retained at the ears without being hell
by the hands.
The Photographic knapsaek, says
the Chicago Tribune, has been de-
signed for use at dances. The young
men carry them on their backs. In be-
ginning waltz a man places one set
of the receivers at his own ears and
the other at the ears of his fair part
ner. BY pulling cord dangling from
the Photographic knapsack the ma
chine is set in motion and waltz is
played to which the young man and
his partner merrily dance. The in
vention will do away with orchestras
and tin sounding pianos, each male
guest furnishing his own music for
himself and his partner.
The invention will be hailed with de-
light by dancers. Now, instead of 60
or 20 couples dancing to waltz which
only four or five people in the whole
ballroom especially like, each pair of
dancers can consult their individual
preferences in the matter. Some dane
ers will be stepping gayly to the merry
notes of "The Duchess of Central
Park" while others will trip to the
music of "Rufus on Parade" and dig
nified elderly couples will revolve
stiffly by to the ancient air of 1.-THE
Beautiful Blue Danube"
Young people can romp around with
the merry notes of the "Caddies' Two
Step" ringing in their ears, and the
young man who wishes to properly
prepare the mind of his partner for
what he is going TO say to her a few
minutes later in the conservatory can
have his photograph play "Call Me
Thine Own" and ''Only You" and other
stuff of that nature.

the photograph knapsack has driven

Of the bookshelves. She had been

so softly, hoping to finish her work
before he awoke, that he had not
heard her before.
"She does look nice in that can and

not tell why-it gave him an uncom-
Portable feeling to see her in them.

said no more.
"She evidently does not wish me to

But somehow it always happened

At first he told himself that he only
wanted to befriend her, as she seemed
so lonely, and then he thought that
he would try and get her something
better 60 do, ''for her position must
be intolerable," he thought. But as
the weeks went on he knew that If
was not friendship that made him
seek Vera's society.
And she, what did she feel? At first
she was very coy, not answering any
questions that he asked her except in
monosyllables, and never, if she
could help it. keeping up any CONVEX
sation with him.
But after a time she became less

friend, even acknowledging to him
that she was a lady, but asking him
TO keep her secret.
