Triumphs of Modern Surgery.

Wonderful things are doue for the
hnman body by surgery Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished
and put back. Or they may be removed
entirely; bones are spliced; pipes take
the place of decreased sections of
veins; antiseptlc dressings are ap-
piled to wounds, buses, burns and
like injuries before inflammation sets
in, which causes them to heal without
maturation and in one third the time
required by the old treatment.
Chamberlain's Pain Balm acts on this
same principle. 1t is an antiseptic
and when applied to such injuries,
causes them to heal very quickly. It
also allays the pain and soreness.
Keep a bottle of Pain Balm in your
home and it will save you time aud
money, not to mention the inconven-
ienco and suffering which such in
juries entail. For sale by Corner

Keep your blood clean as you keep your
body clean. You don't wait until your
body is foul before you cleanse it.
1t is matter of surprise that many peo-
pie who are SO careful to have clean bodies
make no effort to keep the blood clean
Everyone knows that uncleanness breeds
disease; that those who do not keep their
bodies in wholesome condition and who
dwell in filthy surroundings are the first to
fall when some epidemic of disease sweeps
the country. But foul blood is more dan
gerous to the individual than a foul body
an active hindrance to health. But uncleau
blood is an active threat against the very
hfe-it makes the body a prepared breed
ing place for disease.
1t is part of Natures plan for human
safety that in many cases where the blood
is impure or corrupt she sets sign on the
body in proof of the corrupt current that il
flowing through the veins. Scrofula with
its dishguring sores and scars, eczema with
its irritation, salt-rheum, tetter, erysipelas,
boils, pimples and other eruptions are only
the outward signs of the impurity of the
blood. But often in the earlier or simpler
stages of the blood's impurity there are NO
outward signs Of this condition; only dull,
languid, sluggish feelings, which are com.
monty attributed solely to the sluggishness
of the liver.
OF all preparations for purifying the
blood DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov.
cry easily takes the first place. It elimin-
ates from the blood the elements which
clog and corrupt it, and which breed and
feed disease. 1t acts directly on the blood
making, glands, increasing their activity,
and so increasing the supply of rich, pure
blood which is the life of the body.

ical Discovery" There is nothing rjust
as good for diseases of the stomach,

A WEAKENING SOIL,

The wear on the arabic lands Of the
west is very observable notwithstanis-
ing that these lands were originally
rich and fertile. Fifty years of per-
sistent cropping and taking and selling
of soil fertility without making any
due return, the heavy tribute levied by
weed growth and erCsiGn. the elimina-
ton and exhaustion of the hunlus, 80
essential 10 plant growth. are patent
facts to be noted with millions of acres
of what are termed the choice farm
process of degeneration is the most no
ticeable OH all rented farms. where.
under the shortsighted policy of short
time cash leases. the skinning process
has been worked to finish. The re-
suit of all this miserable work is sum.
med up in one fact. and that is poor
crops as compared with what the land
is capable of producing unGer proper
management. 1t is II repetition of the
same process which has degraded the
soils of New York. Pennsylvania. Ohio,
and which is actively ut work in In
diana, Illinois. Wisconsin. Iowa and
Minnesota 1t has made the New York
state farm sell today for less than the
cost Of the buildings upon it. and it
will do the same thing for these other
states if persisted in. The biggest and
most important question which con-
fronts the American people today. more
vital and farrcaclins in its future ef-
fects than any question of politics or
statecraft. is how to maintain the fer
tility of the soil, for IL century from
now there will be 20O.OOOOOO mouths
to feed The long term lease. the SEN
sible rotati of crops, clover farming
and stock feeding will do much to ar
rest the miserable work. but as yet
only the few. the very few, are alive

SUMMER STYLES,
Smart amt Practical Linen Suits,
Dainty Waists For Hot Days.

Dainty Waists For Hot Days.
This year the linens are so charm
ing and SO varied, ranging from the
coarsest crash to the finest linen voile,
that the difficulty OF choice lies in the
multitude OF riches. In the making
of the linen frock tho skirt claims great
attention, for the making of this gar
ment has witnessed many changes Of
late, rendering new models not only q
choice, but necessity, and, while very
many of the cotton and 50 called wash
fabrics are made up without Il thought
of the laundry, Il linen suit may he
quite practical If one SO wishes.
y popular skirt of this order is the
plated one, the material set into in
verted box plaits all round. heavily
pressed and stitched down for certain
distances. growing shorter as the back
is reached from the waist. The skirt
is cut the popular rns IRE length, but
is one which lends itSele kindly to cur
tailment where country or special wear
makes this desirable Beneath the
plaits Mt the waist and completely hid
den by them are certain darts, by
whose aid the skirt is fitted absolutely
round the hips and waist.
Very taking IL the simple model
shown, which perfectly strikes the pre-
vailing note Of the season. 1t is
slightly eased round the waist, the full
ness being so slight as to barely admit
of gathering. for voluninous folds are
hardly suitable to the fabrication Of
linen. which In itself is slightly
bulky, heavy fabric and is rendered
doubly so by the laundress' machina-
tions.
AS it's only and effective decoration
the skirt carries a hem band Of either
blue or red material spotted with
white, and so is particularly suited to
mate with one of the spotted linen
shirts Of the day.
Any other scheme Of trimming may
be adapted at will. For instance, .

deep band of broderie Anglaise would
prove charming completion to skirt

Silk skirts are giving way to those
of lawn, and these are of the finest,
hemstitched in the most wonderful
fashion, and embroidered in satin
stitch with no less elaboration, and
proclaiming the date of their building
by their long shoulder seams. ShOul-
ders, by the way. are being deftly
broadened by means best understood
by the modistes without lessening
their length.
Wide horizontal tucks and fiat bows
both enter largely into trimming
schemes. Some Of the popular taffeta
gowns have row of tiny little dat
bows straight down the front Of the
bodice and the skirt. very excellent
device for giving length to the over
short figure.
A charming toque Is Of hyacinth blue
tulle, trailed about with wistaria in the
same soft shade. green foliage striking
softening and becoming note.
A striking little hat boasts brim OF
white straw with rose petal crown,
either white, cerise or yellow, and IL
draped in artistic fashion with hand
