SORES AMD

Sores and Ulcers never become chronic
unless the blood il in POOR condition is
sluggish, weak and unable TO throw of
the pOsons that accumulate in it. The
system must be relieved Of the unhealthy
matter through the sore, and great danger
10 life would follow should it heal before
the blood has been made pure and healthy
and all allinlpurities eliminated from the sys-
tenn. S.S.S. begins the cure by first cleans
ing and inyigorating the blood, building
up the general health and removing from
the system a CONSTANT DRAM

When this has been accomplished the dis
charge gradually ceases, and the sore or
ulcer heals. Its the tendency Of these old
indolent sores 10 grow worse and worse,
and eventually 20 destroy the bones. Local
applications, while soothing and to some
extent alleviate pain, cannot reach the seat
Of the trouble. S. S. S. docs, and no matter

Vitality of Hebrews.

If the future population of the earth
is to be estimated on the basis of race
vitality. then there is no question but
that the Hebrews will yet be In the
majority. Statistics show that the
average longevity of the Hebrew race
Is greater than that of any other. Their
numbers must therefore be increasing
relatively to every race, and they GER
tainly are. Whether it is due to the
sanitary measures enjoined by their re-
ligion or because Of native vitality is
for students of sociology to decide, but
the fact still remains. Yet numbers
are not always to control the destiny
of the race. and it is to be supposed
that fraternity and good sense are slow
iy wiping out race distinctions.-Bo

sc;euca In DuiIding Bridges.

Bridge building is one Of the Oldest
of the engineering arts. and yet in the
principles and methods which it fol
lows today 1t is one of the newest.
1t is impossible to say when the first
bridge was built, so shrouded in an
tiduity is the date. But the first metal
truss bridge, the erection of which
marks the beginning CT modern meth
DDS of construction. was put up no
longer ago than 1910. Almost all the
great bridges of the world have been
built within the past quarter century.
In 1868 a bridge was thrown across
the Ohio river with span of 800 feet
then unprecedented. At the present
time the limit of single span has been
extended to LILO feet in actual con-
struction, while others Of nearly 5000
feet have been designed by able build
ers and undoubtedly will be erected

a single toothpick. Most Of them take

for the next meal they take as many
over again. They don't need them. It's
all due to the tOothpick chewing habit.

TIMING YOUR TRAIN.
Ways In Which to Learn How Fast
You Are Travelling.

"There has been some picturesque
fiction written about the ease with
which railroad men and drummers are
supposed to tick off the miles as the
train speeds along from things they
can see from the car windows" said a
railroad conductor to a reporter.
"There is only one strictly accurate
way, and that is to seat yourself on the
side Of the train from which may be
observed the white mile posts that line
the road and hold your watch on them.
If you have n split second watch, 1t
will prove interesting to note that
while you made one mile In GO seconds
the next was covered In SO and the
third In 20 seconds, and so on. as the
speed Of the train Increases or slack
ems. You may also follow around the
little second hand on an ordinary
watch. 1t kills time.
"Some pretend to say that they can
tell the speed of the train by counting
the telegraph poles. If there were an
exact number Of telegraph poles to ev-
cry mile, this might be done by n little
figuring, but there is difference. The
number of telegraph poles to n mile
vary from 33 to 40, depending upon the
straight stretches and the curves In the
track, the latter having more poles
than the former. So, you see, 1t is not
as easy as the drummer would have
4b0 ofho, ,No ccopOarc baliavn
IF the poles are planted 33 to the
mile, they are 100 feet apart, and every
IL passed represents third Of a mile.
If placed 40 to mile, they are 132 feet
apart, and every 20 represents half a
mile.
"These are easy figures to remember
and by applying them on n journey a
passenger may obtain an idea more or
less accurate of the speed of the train.
Another way is to attempt to count
the clicks of the wheels of the truck Of
your car as they pass over the rails
where joined. The rails Of the roads as
placed today are too evenly joined to
arrive at an exact determination by
this method. because If you miss two or
three joints your calculations are
thrown out as to accuracy.
However, there are railroad men
who cannot tell you he number of rails
to the mile of their own roads, and
rails vary In length, the average being
80 feet, some SO feet and some 60 feet.
At 80 feet there are 176 rails to the
mile, and If you can count 176 consecu-
tive clinks as your train flies along you
may determine its speed and not other
wise. "-Washington Star.

SALTED BUTTER.
why 1t Keeps Better Than Butter
That Is Fresh.

why Attps
That Is Fresh.
Why does salt butter keep better
than fresh butter? We must first real
lie that the bacterial population of a
moderate sized pat of butter may be
reckoned by millions, that tiny lump
only large enough to go into thimble
has been known to be tenanted by
nearly 100000, that, in fact, in con-
suming a slice of bread and butter you
may unconsciously be assimilating In
dividual lives exceeding in number
those of the whole of Europe. Thus
the urgency for keeping these hordes in
check and hence the efforts which are
made. first to set up effectual barriers
TO their ingress by taking proper pre-
cautions in the production of milk and,
second, in the conduct of the processes
involved in the manufacture and distri-
button of the finished article.
Included in these processes is the ad-
dition of salt in such quantities as to
justify the butter being known as salt
butter, this addition being made with
the object Of extending the keeping
powers Of the butter or, in other words,
to suppress to a large extent the activi-
ties of the butter bacteria. That salt
does act in this manner Is shown by
the fact that in butter thus treated a
very large reduction in the number OF
heterogeneous present is effected.
There can be little doubt, therefore,
that the common butter microbes do
not by any means regard salt as their
elixir of life.
In England boracic acid is said to be
extensively used in butter as presery-
alive or antiseptic agent, while in the
United States a recent public health
document states that none was report
ed to have been found in the samples
of butter examined. This Is probably
due to the fact that In America there
exists a strong prejudice in favor Of
salt butter, whereas in England the use
of salt butter is the exception and not
the rule. Hence in America salt can
be used as preservative instead of the
boracic acid employed for that purpose
in England.
The densely populated condition OF
butter above referred to is not to be
wondered at if we realize that the raw
material in the shape of milk may con-
tain from 100000 to as many as 169,-
100000 of bacteria in a few drops
