HALL COUNTY CLUBS MUST
STOP SELLING LIQUOR

GRAND ISLAND. Neb,. Nov 2o.-(spe-
cial. )--Growing out of the recent CRANE
jury session in this county, It is asserted
County Attorney Cleary yesterday noti-
fled John Ham, the owner of the Lion
Grove, and Henry Sander, the owner OF
the Midway club house, that they must
stop doing business in the dispensing OF
liquor to presumably club members, until
a legal organization had been perfected
and there was assurance that the law
relating to the sale Of liquor were COM
piled with. 1t iS rumored that this action
is the result Of the declaration Of some
prominent citizens, whose identity Is moi
known, that they would appear before
the grand jury unless some other action
were taken. The action Of the attorney
is meeting with the general approval oi
the public.

HOW TO CURE
BLOOD POISON

Contagious Blood Poison is a viru-
lent germ, and like most other bacte-
rial organisms is very difficult to kill
or destroy within the system. It
would therefore be useless to endeavor
to cure the disease with some strong
medicine intended to destroy the dis
eased blood cells and virus. The
proper way-the only way-is to
REMOVE the germs and poisons from
the blood by purifying the circulation.
Thousands have cured themselves OF
this powerful disease by the use of
S. S. S., the greatest Of all vegetable
blood purifiers. This is a medicine
of unquestioned ability in the treat
lueut Of Contagious Blood Poison.
For more than forty years it has been
prepared and sold as a cure for this
trouble, and not only its efficacy, but
the fact that it does not contain par
tiele of mineral, or other harmful
drug, should be an inducement to any
Contagious Blood Poison sufferer to
begin its use. S. S. s. goes right
down into the circulation, and re-
moves every trace OF the destructive
virus. II heals all sores, stops falling
hair, and by cleansing and enriching
the blood, soon clears the body OF
every symptom. S. S. S. cures to
stay cured; there is no future breaking
out of the disease. Home Treatment
book and any medical advice free
s. S. S. is sold at drug stores.

Gases In Sewers.

City people who are occasionally
startled by seeing manhole cover
blown from the pavement generally
ascribe the blame to leaking gas
mains. But there are probably many
other sources from which dangerous
gases find their way into sewers, and
one of these Is indicated by an In
vestigation recently reported to the
American Chemical Society by Prof.
A. A. Breneman. He showed that
the entrance of a mixture of gasoline
and soap into drains and sewers from
garages, factories, and other places
where such materials are employed for
washing, is sufficient to account for
the liberation of much combustible
vapor. which may play part in sewer
explosions.

The Flirting Widow.


Jock Anderson was industriously
wooAng q wealthy widow, who was
fair, tat, and forty. with every prospect
Of q successful issue, for his affections
were abundanuy returned. But in an
evil moment one Of Jocks chums
mentioned that gentle hint, suggest.
ing Irritation on the part Of the lady,
would constitute piece Of irresistible
flattery. This idea Jock put immedt
ately into practice by writing a long
amorous letter which, no doubt. would
have captured both the widow and her
money had he punctuated properly.
This Is the sentence that settled
poor Jocks chance:
II consider you brutal and jealous
though you may fancy me little ad.
dicted 10 flirting"
On perusing the above sentence the
widow Immediately visited Jock; she
storned at him. swore at him. and
eventually swooned. Jock explained,
and punctuated the Objectionable sen.
tence with tadpoles, making it read:
II consider you, brutal and Jealous
though you may fancy me. little ad-
dieted to flirting"
But nothing could induce the widow
to see aught but a slight on herself
and her stoutness, punctuate as he
would.
The widow is no longer a widow.
but. alas! Jock is not her husband.

Deep Water North of Alaska.

The chief object of the arctic ex-
pedition of Captain Mikelsen, who
recently returned to Copenhagen, was
to settle the question whether there Is
land or deep sea to the north OF
Alaska In March of last year Cap
tain Mikelsen, Mr.. Leffingwell and
the mate made a sledge expedition
over the Ice. Fifty miles from the
coast they found crevices, through
which they sounded to a depth of g.
90 feet without reaching bottom. Six
ty miles farther on the result was the
same. Turning then toward the
south east. they found the edge of the
continental shelf. The conclusion Is
that deep water exists north of Alas
ka, at least to a great distance.

is LEPRosY CONTAGIOUS,

Specialists Still Doubtful Whether
One Person Can Give II to Another.
There is possibly no disease the
presence of which inspires greater
fear in the public mind than does
leprosy. This is perhaps in a meas
ure due to the loathesomeness of the
disease in its later stages. but it is in
most cases simply fear of name.
The disease or diseases spoken of
as leprosy in the Bible are popularly
supposed to be the same as the
leprosy of to-day. and the evident fear
the leper inspired in the people of
old is held to Justify the dread with
which he is still regarded. The Bibli-
cal descriptions do not. however, fit
modern leprosy. so that whether the
fear of the "leper" of olden times was
or was not justified it should not be
allowed to color the view with which
the leper of to-day is regarded.
Leprosy is indeed an infectious dis
ease, that is to say, it Is due to the
presence in the tissues of bacillus,
after the Norwegian physician who
discovered it; but whether 1t Is con-
tagious under the ordinary conditions
Of modern life in temperate climates,
at least. is held by specialists in dis
eases of the skin to be very doubtful.
OF the few lepers known to the ply
sicians in all the larger cities some
are cared for in hospitals, others live
at home and visit the clinics or the
doctors Office from time to time; yet
an instance in which another person
has acquired the disease from any of
these lepers is unknown.
There are many diseases more to
be dreaded than leprosy because more
rapidly fatal, more painful or more
contagious; yet none of them except
perhaps smallpox Is more feared.
The illogical terror of leprosy may
be the cause Of great cruelty to those
afflicted. There are thousands Of peo-
pie who show culpable Indifference to
the enforcement of the laws against
splitting in public places, although
they know full well that the success
of the crusade against tuberculosis
hinges largely upon care in this re-
gard. Yet these same persons would
fly in horror from any place that had
harbored a leper.

Easily Recognizable In Germany and

The cars Of the royal family of Eng.
land DO not bear number plates. Those
Of the German royal family are recog-
nized by their warning signals. They
alone may use the two and three noted
horns.
"The cars used by the German EN-
peror and Empress have their ap-
preach heralded by three noted horns
and those Of the royal princes by two
noted horns. No infringement of this
prerogative by ordinary motorists Is
tolerated.
'The fact that the royal cars, both
IN ERgland and in Germany, may SO
eas6y be distinguished is an tndtca-
ton of the confidence which exists be-
tween the monarchs and their respec-
tive peoples" says the Gentlewoman.
"In less happier times it would have
been counting danger to have carried
such marks of distinction, and even
now in less fortunate lands the rulers

NEW ENoLAND's MAY FLOWER.

The arbutus of New England is the
sweetest flower of May; and how
much pinker and sweeter are the
punches from the cool hills Of north
ern New England and the isolated
sections of Cape Cod; but everywhere
complaint is made that these flowers
are being exterminated.
The Worcester Post has this to say
of the disappearance OF great nat
ural bed of this flower near that city:
y zone Of the great natural beds Of
trailing arbutus or mayflower, where
in former years the residents of Wor-
cester have been able to pick great
punches of the most fragrant of wild
flowers of New England, was visited
yesterday and not vestige of hope
that there will be bloom there this
year was found. This mayflower bed
was along the hillsides forming part
Of the great watershed of the metro
politan water system, just beyond and
to the north OF the center OF Boylston
Much Of the heavy chestnut wood on
the hilltops has been cut away in the
past few years, and the second growth
on the lower slopes where the snow o.
late spring used to lay and form a
blanket under which the handsome
trailing vines used to thrive, has been
cut away, and now the hillside is bar
rem Of the vine. Until four years ago
this was one of the most luxurious
mayflower beds In the county and
every tint and variety Of the flower
could be gathered there. In the more
open places the flower was found in
it's pinkest shades and in the shadiest
spots near the top of the hills there
would be found great mats of the
purest white bloom that is so much
priced by lovers of the flower"
