HEALTH SOCIETY BARS KISSES
Consumption, Smallpox and Other
Contagious Diseases Sure to Spread
In This Manner.

Kiss not" is the motto of the
Worlds Health organization, of which
Mrs. Imogene Rechtin of Cincinnati
is president. Mrs. Rechtin explains
that the object of the movement is to
lessen the spread of consumption and
insists that the kiss not" pledges
should be taken and kept by every
school teacher in the country.
Teachers and pupils both will
benefit by it," declares Mrs. Rechtin.
"a sweet-faced kindergarten teacher
kissed her pupils good-by, saying, 1
will take good rest this summer. In
the fall l will give you more games;
they tire me now She died of con-
sumption in the middle Of August.
Were the children exposed to con-
sumption? Had the disease been diph-
iberia or smallpox would they have
been exposed to it?
Since you cannot quarantine
against consumption, nor vaccinate
against consumption, how will we con-
troll it?
at takes whole families to the
grave. We get 1t into our system
through our noses and mouths. AS far
as possible We safeguard our noses BY
avoiding dust. We have no way Of
protecting our mouths. Quarantine
them, If l may be allowed to use the
word In this way. Teach the little
ones to quarantine their mouths. With
land teeming with consumption we
should always love our relatives and
friends. Teachers and others will al
ways love the little folks, but should
love them too we'll to kiss them.
Our health officer says Kiss only
your enemies
I'VE have very pretty club but
ton bearing our motto, Kiss Not in
red letters on a white background. A
prominent physician said: If one Of
those buttons could be put upon the
bib of every newborn baby and worm
till the child is eighty years old there
would be more old people than there
are today"

VIII positively guarantee Bloodine to
cure stone in the bladder or any kid
ney or bladder trouble, no matter how
long you have been suffering Ninety
seven per cent of the entire popula-
ton of the United States are afflicted
with kidney or bladder trouble. In
the last seven years Bloodine has
cured 96 per cent of the cases that
have been treated with it,
Hundreds of cases of hemorrhage
of the bladder have been cured after
treatment in some of the leading hos
pitfalls have failed to even relieve the
patient We are therefore confdnt
that our theory of treating these cas-
es with Bloodine, is the only possible
manner in which such a large percen-
tage of cases can be cured, that we
do not hesitate to guarantee the eff
cienly of Bloodine
Mr. Hanson. the business manager,
of the Postal Telegraph and Cable
Co, of Biddeford Maine, had stone
in the bladder removed with six and
one-half bottles of Bloodine, after be-
ing told by all of the leading physi-
clans in his vicinity that the only way
III COulu possibly De removed was by
an operation. We stand ready to fur
nish positive proof of the above state
ment to any one doubling the truth
of the same.
More than five million bottles of
Bloodine were sold in America last
year. Can there be any greater evil
dence of merit than this unparalleled
sale of scientific product No other
product has ever met with such as
founding sales in so short a period,
and from a conservative estimate the
sales this year will reach ten mil
lion bottles. 2,880 bottles were sold
i'm a single day in Cleveland, Ohio;
2160 bottles were sold in Rochester,
N. Y, at the first days Introductory
sale, and 1400 bottles in Paterson,
N. j., in one day. No scientific treat
ment has even attained such success
in America. We are now supplying
druggists with Bloodine, for the con-
venience OF those wishing to convince
themselves of its merits. If your drug"
glst does not have 1t, The Bloodine

=
Years ago, some wild animal made
its appearance in the Williamson
woods. Coon and o'possum hunters
would run at it, and the varment
would back up against a tree or log,
and whip out the whole pack of dogs.
If it once got hold on hound. and
bit and scratched it. all the fight was
knocked out of the dog. And he
was ready to tuck his tale between his
hind legs and make for home White
and black hunters with their never
known to- be- whipped packs went to
capture the animal. But invarib!y the
dogs got the worst of the fight Some
times the man would rush up with his
axe to help his dogs The animal
would make such frantic leaps 1t him
that he could not get in blow of the
axe. 1t was hunted so much that it
disappeared from this section. No
one ever saw the cat in day time to
see what kind of an animal it was.
That winter it's visit had whole
some influence ON the boys, keeping
them at home. If bear or panther
comes into settlement and is seen
by some reliable man, soon you can't
get boy out to the wood pile at night.
