OF Contagious Blood Poison never exis-
ted 1t is always bad, though sometimes
no external symptoms of the disease ap-
pear for a long time.
Because the disease IS slow in devel-
oping does not indicate that the case is
a mild one, for the poisonous virus at
work in the blood and system may be
spending its force upon some internal
vital organ while you are looking for ex-
ternal signs. Contagious Blood Poison
does not affect all alike. In most cases
the FIRST little sore is quickly followed by
painful swellings in the grOins, a red
eruption upon the body, sores or ulcers
in the mouth and throat, unsightly copper
colored blOtches, loss of hair and eye
brows and other symptoms of this miser-
able disease. When the poison is thus
fighting its way to the surface, exposing
the disease in all its hideousness, we call
it a bad case; but Contagious Blood Pol
son, whether working internally or exter-
ually. is q dangerous, treacherous disease.
S. S. S. is the only remedy that cures
Contagious Blood Poison thoroughly and
permanently. 1t is an antidote for the
deadly virus that produces the awful
eruphons, sores and ulcers, and destroys
the bones. Mercury and Potash dry up
the skin erupGons, but IN so doing drive
the poison further into the system, where
It stumbers for time, but comes back
again with redoubled fury.
S. s. S. IS a vegetable remedy that has
been used successfully for years in treat
ingthisv ilediseaseaud
cures itin all stagesand
forms. If you have the
slightest symptom; an
occasional sore mouth,
or muscular and bone
pains. your bloodi is tainted and the disease
Is liable to break out again at any time.
A course Of S. S. S. will remove every
trace of poison and at the same time
build up your general health.

ATHLETICS IN ENGLAND.
They Arouse Great Enthusiasm ana
Produce Strange Trophies.


Athletics attract much more atten-
ton in England than in America. The
people are more enthusiastic, and II Is
not unusual 10 see 1900 or 10000 peo-
pie attending the games. There are
sports three and five times a week, SO
that an ambitious runner a fill his
trophy room with any number of suit
able prizes. An American champion
has no idea Of the reception that awaits
him. The many sports committees at
tend him, and he is shown the hospital
ity Of the cities.
1t is no extraordinary thing to be In
ylted to a dinner in your honor or to
stay a few days with the lord mayor
Of the city. All of these affairs, one
must admit, are a great handicap to
his training.
The prizes abroad are, as a general
rule, very valuable. much more SO than
In America. They are not wholly con-
fined to silverware, such as. cups and
the like. but 1t Is nothing extraordi-
nary to see an athlete departing from
the races with a sewing machine or
hatrack, and In some cases I have seen
orders for beds. The lucky competitor,
as a rule, can have any article he de-
sires, and, as many British athletes are
married, they generally take the most
~seryiceable article Arthur Il. Duffey

East Indian Children.

East Indian children from their ten
derest years are more carefully trained
in certain respects by their mothers
than the children of the most civilized
peoples. The moment the youngest ba-
by ceases nursing its lips are closed by
its mother. II the baby does not keep
them closed. she uses mechanical means
rigidly and even cruelty. When the ba-
by is put TO sleep, 1t is strapped on to
a board, It's head slightly raised and its
chin lowered. which tends to keep the
mouth shut. The result is that when
the teeth are forming and making their
first appearance they meet and contin-
ually feel one another. Thus they take
their relative positions and that health
full and pleasing regularity that gives
to the American Indian as a race the
most manly and beautiful mouths In
the world.

GAMBLING AT GILT EDGE.

Editor August see my the Great

a law that ought to be enforced IL is
the gambling law, beginning with Gilt
Epge, as 1t is a shame and an out.
rage the gambling that is going on
here, roulette wheels, nickelin.the-
slot, poker and other games.
When men set the example what
can you expect of young boys growing
up to manhood? When husbands.
fathers and grandfathers sit in the sa-
looms day and night, no wonder our
penitentiaries are full. Men will teach
their boys before they are able TO go
to school and they will meet in some
old building or barn when they are old
enough to earn a dollar and gamble it
of. | think some of our county of.
ficers ought to enforce the law. You
will have to be like a fox-come pn
your prey at night to catch them.
| do not think that Lewistown is any
better, for the gamblers come over to
Gilt Edge to make a grub stake every
pay day. Every place oil business is
closed on Sundays except the saloons
and there the men and boys spend the
day while the mothers, wives and sis.
tiers are at home. | think the women
ought to start a place OF games and
liquor in every town and then do as
the men do and then see what they
would say, for this world is as free
for women as it is for men, but the
women have too much self respect tc
do as the men do.
Men make u laws, why not KEEP
them, but men of all classes can go w
to the polls and vote and they lead
men staggering drunk, who do moi
know who they are voting for OF
scarcely know that they are voting
and still a woman who has propert,
and pays taxes and works has nothing
to say; she is nothing but a slave fol
men.
Take a mother from a family ant
see how quickly they are scattered
take a father away and how a mother
will toll and slave to keep her children
together. And when a child is sicl
who will stand by the bed side ant
watch over the child like the mother
