NATURES cure FOR
CHRONIC ULCERS

Only By removing the cause can
any chronic Ulcer or Old Sore be
cured. No one will question the
truthfulness of this statement. The
cause is always from an inward
source, never an outward influence,
and therefore the only possible way
to get rid OF these places Is to take
internal treatment Pure blood is the
one unfailing cure for chronic ulcers;
Just as long as the circulation Is al
lowed to remain in an impure condi-
ton the place will be kept open from
the constant discharge of impurities
into it from the blood But pure
blood will change this condition and
the flesh tissues will be nourished
and made healthy. and then nature
will promptly and permanently heal
the ulcer S. S. S. is recognized as,
the greatest of all blood purifiers, and
therein lies its power to cure -old
ulcers and sores. 1t goes into. the
circulation and removes every trace
OF impurity or infectious matter. and
so enriches this vital fluid that ii.
nourishes all flesh tissues instead of
irritating them with impurities. When
S. S. S. has cleansed the blood and
the place has healed over it is not
surface cure. but the ulcer is filled in
with healthy flesh from the bottom

Hundreds OF thousands of tern. alba

cry was made. He added that since a
United States revenue cutter had been
sent to the island no poaching. so far ns
known, has been done. but that II was
feared that it might be resumed.
Different varieties of birds go to the
island ut different seasons Of the Year TO

CHAPTER XXI.
Mile. Idaile's Visit.

Laverick, on the following morning,
found many things to think about. He
was accustomed to lunch always at the
same restaurant, within a few yards of
his office, and with the same little COM
pany of friends. Just as he was leaving
an outside broker whom he knew slightly
came across the room to him.
Tell me. Laverick.' he asked, what S
become of your partner?''
HE has gone abroad for a few weeks.

nouncing change in the firm shortly"

NO BIDS FOR WARSH|PS
FROM PRIVATE FIRMS
Probable Effect of Eight Hour
Law on Government
Construction.

Peculiar interest attaches to the an
nouncement that the Navy Department
is ready to receive bids for the two new
battleships authorized at the last session
of Congress in view of the fact that there
is decided possibility. if not a proba
biIity. that there will he no bidders. Jan
uary :, 1912 is the date set for opening
bids and the department announces that
they will be received up to that hour.
Impossible to Bid.
Nearly all the private shipbuilding con
Germs OF the country have maintained
heretofore that the apple alton of the
eight hour law to battleship construction
made it impossible for them to bid on the
vessels. Since the recent Interpretation
of the law. under which the eight-hour
work day provision will apply to all work
done either on the stocks or in the shops,
the Newport News Shipbuiding and Dry
Dock Company. the only builder to sub
NIT a bid, when the Texas contract was
awarded. has announced that 1t will not
make Il contrac tfor either of the ships
this year.
Should any bids be received at all. 1t is
believed they will provide for sacrificing
some modern improvements planned for
the vessels to bring the ships within the
appropriation. On the other hand, it is
said the governments plans provide for
some very material departures in naval
construction.
Names of New Vessels.
The two new vessels will be named Ok
lahoma and Nevada. and are technically
numbered SO and 81. They will have
main batteries OF ten fourteen-inch guns
and will be near sister ships of the
Wyoming and Arkansas. now building.
The latter vessels are of 21,COD tons dis
placement, but it is understood that the
Oklahoma and Nevada will he slightly
heavier.
Plans and specifications for the new
ships have been given confidentiaIly to
shipbuilding concerns requesting them.
but as it Is not desired that they fail
into the hands of foreign governments
they will not be made public.
