HOW TO TREAT
OLD SORES

The proper way-the only sue
cessful Ddy- to treat an old sore
Is to destroy its source. Not by
dangerous surgical operations or
irritating, GO drawing' plasters, but
by Natures true method of purify
ing the blood and filling the circu-
lation Uith rich, nourishing proper
ties; then the cure UiH be natural
and lasting. We can easily under
stand how impurities in the blood
wiu infect some weak point on our
bodies, and by continually dis
charging impurities into it keep the
place open and infamed until a
chronic ulcer is formed. Nothing
then is so sure to produce q cure
of these old sores as S. S. S. This
medicine is Natures perfect blood
remedy, composed of the most heal
ing and at the same time the most
penetrating and blood-puriying
properties. 1t removes eUery par
ticie of impurity or morbid matter
from the circulation, and assists
nature in the increasing of healthful,
nutritious corpuscies in the blood.
S. S. S. makes pure blood, and pure
blood is Natures uufailing cure for
old sores. Every sufferer with an old
sore should use S. S. s., because it
is the remedy they most need Book
on Sores and Ulcers and medical ad-
vice free. SIS S. is sold at drug stores.

Had Bad Eggs

Farmers as n rule are honest,
but there are exceptions. An old
farmer OF west of town has prob
ably forgotten his Sunday School
training, the law and the golden
rule. About a week ago he came
to town with ~ dozen eggs-nfne
and half dozen were bad and
the balance good. He started In
at Martin & Herrells and the Of
tener he was told his eggs were
bad tine madder he got. He fin
ally took his eggs back home. The
next day he returned to Marshall
with a few fresh ones added and
met THE same fate at the various
stores. He finally disposed OF his
eggs at the Marshall Produce Co.
for a total of lie going home In
rage. The proper course would
have been to arrest the man, as
he was plainly violating the law
In trying to sell bad eggs, espe-
cially when he knew them to be
bad. Another queer thing Is the
fact that he got angry when he
failed In his effort to cheat the
Others, whereas II was their turn
to get mad.

The origin of the fire ts un-
known, but II Is thought possi-
BILE that some of the men who were
examining the separator a short
time previous to the fire, might
have been smoking and dropped a
match or cigar. An expert thresh
ing machine man had been there ex
aminipg the separator, which had
not been doing good work.
We understand that there was
no insurance on any Of the prop-
erty destroyed.-Slater Rustler
