GOOD BLOOD.

Given good, clean, healthy blood,
Nature will do the rest with any case
of catarrh infiammatory rheumatism,
scrofula. eczema, erysipelas, boils,
pimples or skin disease OF any kind.
Good blood invariably means vigor-
Gus appetite, good digestion and
strength.
Thus it stands TO reason that an
effective "alterative" or blood puri-
fer. while it will not cure all diseases,
will help in fighting any disease and
will cure those mentioned above. all
of which come from bad blood
Forty years ago DR., A B. Simpson
of Richmond, was known as one OF
the most successful physicians in
three states, His success was found
ed almost exclusively on one pre-
scription, the most powerful blood
purifier ever known. After his death
this prescription was regularly put up
as DR.. A. B. Simpsons Vegetable Com
pound.
1t has been used extensively all
over the country, and in forty years
has never failed, even in that most
dreadful of all blood diseases, syph-
ills in its worst stage And when an
Alternative will do that il of course
cleans and rebuilds blood affected
with other troubles. Simpsons
Vegetable Compound is purely vege-
table, and as harmless as it is effect

The Navesink Light. Near Sandy Hook.
Is Wonder.
The most powerful light in America
is housed on a promontory near Sandy
Hook. $50 feet above the beach. where
it acts as a safeguard to all ships en-
terng or leaving the harbor of New
York. 1t is called Navesink light and
is of 100000 candle power. At tif-
teen or twenty miles its fash Is as
pointed and brilliant as star. On a
perfectly clear night its shaft Of light
can be seen 100 miles at sea When
it was erected it was operated at twice
it's present candle power. But ocean
pilots objected to it's strength. saying
that so amazing an electric flash ac-
tually blinded them and interfered
with their work. Uncle Sam heard
the prayer of the pilots and turned
down his pet lamp to 100000 candle
power
The amount of oil consumed by the
engine that provides the power for
the light is only one gallon and seven
eighthS an hour That is the astonish-
ing thing to the unscientitic visitor

BOYS CROWD CITY
JAIL THIS MORNING

The police court looked like a small
orphan asylum this morning when
Ralph Ward was arraigned for assault
on James Johns. A number of boys
whose ages varied from II to II were
subpoenaed as witnesses and testified
against Ward. The argument took
place on North Seventh street Sever
al blows famed the air but none of
the witnesses stated that either boy
was hit. 1t was however proven that
Ward pushed Johns and was fined 81
and costs for the offense. Each of the
five witnesses claimed a fee

Talks.
By EDWIN A. NYR.
GET UP AND GO ON.

Been knocked down?
Or have you fallen down as the re
suit of your own stupid stumbling?
Well, you are not the first to fee
the force of the fist of misfortune, mol
the first to trip himself by awkward
travelling.
And you say, mo one has so many
troubles, no one has had such i'll luch
as l."
Nonsense!
How do you know how many times
yon smiling fellow has fallen or beer
toppled over by some adverse wind!
And say
Do you know when you commence
to deplore your fallen condition and
bemoan your personal fate you lessen
your power to get up and walk like d
man?
1t is no disgrace to have been bowled
over by strong tackle or to have trip
ped yourself. The disgrace inheres il
lying there. Because, once down, you
know the worst is over.
Get up!
Get up-if only on your hands and
1t is a craven thing to lie there on
your face and whine and make no eff
fort. If you are badly wounded there
are good Samaritans who will lift you
up, but if you are little stunned and
scratched and lie prone passersby will
merely shrug their shoulders at the
spectacle.
Get up!
Get up and learn your lesson. If your
feet have slipped because Of careless
habit watch hereafter where you put
them. If the fall was no fault of yours
get up and rub your wounded shins
and trudge on.
Do you want the rules of the road
suspended just for you?
What sort of pampered baby would
you be were there no rocks in the way
and no sharp corners to turn, and nc
fierce winds to face? Jumping hurdles
makes muscles.
Yours is the common lot of the trav.
eler. You learn the road by going over
it. You develop endurance by falling
down and getting up again.
Get up!
You will never get around the next
bend in the road by lying where you
have fallen.
Get up and go on.

India Rubber Tree Fruit.

The fruit of the india rubber tree Is
somewhat similar to that Of the Rici-
nus communis, the castor oil plant,
though somewhat larger. The seeds
have a not disagreeable taste and yield
a purplish oil. 1t is a fairly good sub
stitute for linseed oil, though it dries
less rapidly. Mixed with copal blue
and turpentine, 1t makes a good var
nish. The oil may also be used in the
manufacture of soaps and lithogra phic
inks. The seeds are somewhat like
tiny chestnuts. although darker in COL
or. The Indian girls are fond of wear
ing bracelets and necklets made Of
them.

4 well known resident Of this
place, had his home totally des-
troved by fire TODAY. Starting on
the lower floor just before noon
tie flames spread so rapidly that
the sick children were rescued
from their beds on the second
story only with the greatest
difficulty and danger.
The dwelling was of frame
construction and contained eight
rooms. Nothing is left of it to-
night but a smoking heap OF
lshes. even the contents having
been destroyed.
The children were removed to
the home of a neighbor, where
they will be cared for until th,

aimed that the excitement ard
