DISORDER

In the fail Of 1895 Icontracted that fear
ful disease, Blood Poison. It gained such
Roadway that was forced to resign my
position and seek relief at Hot Springs.
After spending ali the means had went
to Memphis. In less than three weeks I
was in a hospital, and after nine weeks of
suffering was discharged as cured. In
less than . month every bone in my body
seemed to be affected and felt as If they
would break at the least exertion. Agair
was compelled to resign, and returned
to the hospital for seven weeks stay.
When I came out was advised to try
farming. When first went on the farm /
prevailed on the only firm who handled
drugs to get me one dozen bottles of S. S.
Is. At that time both of my hands were
broken out with b1isters and was covered
with boi1s and sores. In the meantime my
druggist had gotten two dozen bottles of
S. S. S. for me and began its use, and
after taking the thirteenth bottle not a
sore or boil was visible. R. B. POWELL.

WORK OF THE CENSUS BUREAU.
The Director Favors Reports On Elec
trical Industries.

The report of the director of the census
office discusses the comparative cost OF
census taking from 1870 to 1900 and calls
attention to the great progressive increa Sc
in the cost of the work, the per capita hav-
ing risen from cents to 81 cents He be-
lieves that If as result of some inquiries
thirteenth census can be kept below the ex-
Establishment of the permanent census office
will be justified. The time seems to have
arrived he says. when In planning tie
next decennial census the aim must be to
reduce rather than to extend the minute
ness of detail presented.
The director considers that by far the
most important pieces of work under way
in the census bureau during the fiscal year
1893 was the quinquennial census of manu-
features, which, under the law, is limited to
manufactures carried on under what is
known as the factory system" which

a field of statistical research heretofore
wholly neglected in this country. Such
statistics, he says, would include the rec
ords of homicides, felonies, misdemeanors
and other punishable offenses.
