Characters Commercial Value.

Character has commercial value
and sometimes men are honest &C
cording to law solely because it is
polite, or polite, according to social
requirements because it pays. But the
honesty and courtesy of such men
are not virtues. They are handmade
ems of covetousness. They contribute
nothing to self-respect. They have
no moral content, and serve only to
aid in bolstering up a vicious char
acteristic. However, it is tribute
to the kingliness of character that,
either for it's market value or be-
cause of it's inherent worth, men
clothe themselves in it's appearance
when they do not seek the substance

TEST or TRUE HOSPITALITY
Army Officer Tells of His Best Lesson
in Cooking and Conduct as a
Host,

The old army officer, distinguished
position, had said to his fellow guests
at the little mountain camp that he re-
garded a knowledge of cooking as a
necessary accomplishment for a gen.
tleman and soldier.
Let me tell you," he continued,
"where 1 received my first and best
lesson in cooking, and in conduct at
the head of the table.
while was yet very young man
I had the good fortune to attract the
notice of an old French gentleman
who, with the remnant of his for
mer large fortune, had come to the
neighborhood of Petersburg, Virginia,
and established himself in a small cot
tage.
'In this little home the dining-room
and kitchen were separated by par
tition that extended only five feet
above the floor. AS monsieur was too
poor to afford waiter or cook, he
himself performed the duties of both.
''He often honored me with an in
vitation to diner, and as I sat in the
dining-room, waiting for the meal to
be served, l could see the old gentle
mans head bobbing up and down as
he tended his stew-pans in the kitch-

How awfully funny!" said some
one, with giggle.
cit never seemed in the least lu-
dicrous to me-" the old officer quietly
responded. after placing the dishes
upon the table, my old friend would
remove his apron, put on rusty dress
coat, and dispense the hospitality Of
his house with the grace and dignity
Of a prince

all that sort Of thing" murmured the
giggler, contritely. "All the same,
your old gentleman, ministering at
hidden affairs and practicing mysteri.

HOW TO CURE
BLOOD POISON

Contagious Blood Poison is a
virulent germ, and like most other
bacterial organisms, is very difficult
to kill or destroy within the system.
1t uould therefore be useless to en-
deapor to cure the disease roith some
strong medicine intended to destroy
the disease blood cells and Uirus.
The proper way-the only way-is
to REMOVE the germs and poisons
from the blood by purifying the cir
culation. Thousands haze cured
themselves of this powerful disease
BY the use of S. S. S., the greatest
of all vegetable blood purifiers.
This is G medicine of unquestiOned
ability in the treatment of Conta-
gious 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
ficle of mineral, or other harmful
drug, should be an inducement to
any Contagious Blood Poison suffer-
er to begin its use. S. S. S. goes
right down into the circulation, and
removes every trace of the destructive
virus. 1t heals all sores, stops falling
hair, and by cleansing and enriching
the blood, soon clears the body of
every symptom. Home Treatment
book and any medical advice free.
S. S. S. is sold at drug stores.

LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES
They Are Closely Observing Public
Health Conditions

An examining physician for one Of
the prominent Life Insurance COM
panies, In an interview on the sub
ject, made the astonishing statement
that the reason why so many appli-
cants for insurance are rejected Is
because kidney trouble is so common
to the American people, and the large
majority Of applicants do not even
suspect that they have the disease.
He states that Judging from his
own experience and reports from
druggists who are constantly in d.
rect touch with the public, there is
one preparation that has probably
been more successful in relieving and
curing these diseases than any rem
edy known. The mild and healing
influence of DR. Kilmer's Swamp Root
Is soon realized. 1t stands the high

rs there any difference between
an intoxicated person and a drunk?"
inquired the magistrate.
Sure, an intoxicated person can
navigate; when you can navigate you
are only intoxicated, but when you
are drunk you can't do anything but
roll on the ground, and sometimes
not even that. So you see there's a
difference" said Maloney.
"And what degree were these three
prisonrs in " inquired Magistrate
House.
"They were only tipsy, which is
not quite intoxicated and far from
drunk" responded Maloney. The
prisoners were fined 81 each.
