SORES
Wheeling, w. Va. May 20, 1908.

Wheeling, w. Va, May ~, 1903.
Bone years ago while at work, I fell
over a truck and severely injured both
of my shins. My blood became poisoned
as a result, and the doctor told me !
would have running sores for life. and
that if they were healed up the result
would be fatal. Under this discouraging
report left off their treatment and re-
sorted to the use of S. S. S. Its effects
were prompt and gratifying. 1t took
only short while for the medicine to en-
tirely cure up the sores, and I am not
dead as the doctors intimated, nor have
the sores ever broke out again. Some II
years have elapsed since what I have de-
scribed occurred. Having been so s;gnally
benefited by its use can heartily recon-
mend it as the one great blood purifier.

Chronic sores start often from a pim-
pie, scratch, bruise or boil, and while
salves, washes and powders are beneficial,
the unhealthy matter in the blood must
be driven out or the sore will continue
to eat and spread. s. S. S. reaches
these old sores through the blood, re-
moves all impurities and poisons, builds
UP the entire system and strengthens
the circulation. S. S. S. is q blood
purifier and tonic combined. Contains

this to say of the boys of the Sixth:
The Sixth unattached battalion,
which halls from Southeast Missouri

declares that character growth is one

"Probably the first thing the En-

els the absolute necessity of being
straightforward and honest as essen

line of professional effort than of any

State Fair Poultry Show.

! The poultry show at the Missouri
State Fair, 1T Sedalia, August 2l2G
| promises to be the greatest within
the history of the state. At the last
| exhibition. the magnificent poultry
building, erected to accommo date
$500 birds, was filled far beyond its
capacity. -Four thousand birds were
on exhibition, and when in place, the
aisles were made so narrow that it
was difficult for the public to pass
thru and view the exhibit. This
season new poultry building is be-
ing erected, so feet by 100 feet, with
ample room for 5000 birds. and the
indications are that this commodi-
Gus structure will be filled to the ex-
tent of its capacity. The union of
the two State Poultry Associations
and the harmonious action which
mas followed, assures 1 grand display
OF Missouri birds. Extensive breed
ers from other states have spoken
space. Expert judges have been
employed. Mr.. Miller, the superin-
tendent will have assistants who will
care for all birds whose owners are
not present. Feed will be furnished
free of charge. Express companies
viii deliver al! consignments to the
poultry building. The best breed
ers in the United States will be rep
resented. The poultry show alone
will pay for a visit to the State Falr.

California letter.

| Like "HOnthe de AllOn" the aged
Spaniard who searched Florida for
a fountain of perpetual youth, ="
many come to California IN guest OF
health and a great many are dlsap-
pointed in the object of their search.
Last fall or early winter an old
gentleman with an invalid wife came
here from Travers City, Mich. The
old lady, who was over 10, seemed
to improve but little, if any, and on
July Z, she died. Her body was
embalmed, placed in a caskct; the
casket was then placed in zine
lined box, Theoretically sealed by
soldering 0 n & zinc top and a wooden
top placed over this. The body was
then started on its long journey to
Travers City alone. I was one of
the pail bearers and it seemed to
me to be an extraordinarily sad
sight to see this old couple parted
for the last time in this manner-as
the long bearded Patriarch husband
with no relative except Il l0-year-
old granddaughter was compelled
to remain here to dispose of his
property before returning east. The
railroad charged what would seem
an extortionate price for transport
ing dead bodies; in this case the ex-
press charge was s135.
In THE Press of June 60, in my
letter in regard to the Imperial
Valley" you make me say: "there
are said to be 100000 acres of
government land, etc. 1t should
read 100000.
Harvest here in the Valley begins
early in June. The first grain cut is
barley. Most Of the grain is left
standing until dead ripe" then cut
and threshcd as they go with a huge
machine, drawn by 30 or more
horses. have seen only one small
separator running by horse power.
Everything is so dry in the wheat

Gus. In leaving wheat standing till
| ripe enough to thresh, much of the
richness Of the grain is destroyed.
