The popular view OF the relation of the
blood to human character and conduct is
marked in many q familiar expression. We
speak of there being "bad blood between
people at enmity, OF "blue blood as indicat-
ing ancestry, of ''black blood as desert bing
a treacherous nature, and In many another
phrase mark our belief that in the mental,
moral and physical man. "the blood is the
life.' The one basis of 8 healthful, happy
and useful life is pure blood. With the
blood pure, disease has no permanent lodg-
ing plabe In the system. For this reason the
use Of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
Tids the body of diseases which have their
origin in impurity of the blood. 1t absolute
ly purif1es the blood, carrying off the waste
and poisonous matter, increasing the action
Of the blood making glands, and building
up the body by supplying the blood in
quantity and quality such as is essential to
a condition of health. 1t cures ninety-eight
people out Of every hundred who give it
fair trial.

SOFT COPE

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, SCOTS
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. 1t not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to do
their proper work.

POTATOES A GREAT CROP.
value OF the Tubers Exceeds That OF
Any Other Single Product
OF the Farm

The opinion generally prevails that
wheat or corn-in some regions one and
In others the other-constitute the crop
of greatest value to the world. Such
Is not the fact. The potato leads all
other staples. being produced at the rate
of 4,oo0.000,Oo0 bushels a year, while
the wheat yield is only 100000 900.
Europe produces seven-eighths of the
worlds potatoes, but 1t Is little Ireland
which eats most of them, averaging four
pounds Of potatoes day per capita. The
United States is on record as the greatest
neat-eatfng country in the world, H.
O,Go0. GOO pounds yearly being con-
suned here. There are Psychologists who
ascribe to this her power on land and
sea. Johnny Bull has the sweetest tooth
among the worlds children, heading the
list of sugar consumers at yearly rate
Of 100000 000 pounds of sugar. OF to-
bacco, however, the average in belgium
is 11O ounces per capita, in the United
States only 43 ounces But In the mat
ter OF beer the United States again takes
she lead, showing a record Of 80 gallons
a year for each inhabitant, distancing
even Germany herself.
