SKIN DISEASES
HUMoRS I'm THE BLOOD

Nature has made ample provision
in the moisture and sunshine of the
air for the outward protection and
healthy condition OF the skin. But
the more important work of nourish-
ing the cuticle has been left to an in
ward source--the blood 1t is from
the circulation that the pores and
glands receive their stimulus, and
the fibrous tissues are all preserved
in healthful state because of con-
slant nutriment supplied by the blood.
1t is only when the circulation be-
comes infected with humors or acids
that we are troubled with skin affec-
tions. The humors producing these
troubles are carried through the cir
culation direct to the skin, and their
irritating or inflainmatory effect re-
mains until the blood is cleansed.
S. S. S. cures Skin Diseases, because
it is the greatest of all blood purifiers.
1t goes into the circulation and

CONDEMN THIRTY
MILLION TURKS
ESTIMATED THAT NUMBER WILL
BE EATEN in UNITED STATES
BEFORE YEARS END.

Uncle Sans pocketbook bows IN
homage to the lord of the feast at
this season. There are no absolute ng-
ures extant showing the vast number
OF turkeys slaughtered each year Tor
the table, but it is estimated that the
Hast census will show q total OF 6, ,OOO,-
1000 turkeys raised this year In the
United States alone. It Is safe to esti-
mate that Of these 30,000,000 will be
consumed between November "a and
January 1. This amounts to practlc-
ally one turkey for every three per-
sons enumerated on Uncle Sans CEN
sus roll. :,
II these 3O,OOO,OOO turkeys were all
shipped In one continues train the
cars would extend In one line from
New York city to Buffalo. over $5o,-
OOO, 900 will be spent between now anu
January for turkeys in the united
States.
To BENJAMIN Franklin Is credited
the sage observation that the turkey
instead Of the eagle should have been
selected as the emblem of the republic.
AS matter of fact, 1t was the emblem
of the Roman republic through It's
career of conquest and the emblem OF
France In the arrogant days OF the
Bonapartes. It is still q part OF the
emblem of Prussia, Austria ana
Russia.
The turkey was first introduced into
Europe by the .Spaniards In the six
teenth century The origin Of the name
is not defined, but as all parts or the
orient we're at one time loosely spoken
of as Turkey, 1t is thought that the
bird imported from the lent derived
its name in this manner 1t is gener-
ally believed that the red head OF the
male bird suggested the red cap OF
"fez," worn by the Turks today.
