The word medicine is one of the
most abused in our language. There
are certain medicinal properties just
as necessary to health as the food we
eat. Take, for example, the we'll
known tonic medicine S. S. S. This
famous blood purifier contains medic
inal components just as vital and
essential to healthy blood as the ele-
ments Of wheat. roast beef, the fats
and the sugars that make up our daily
ration.
AS a matter of fact. there is one
ingredient in S. S. S. which serves the
active purpose Of stimulating each
cellular part of the body to the healthy
and judicious selection of it's own
essential nutriment. That is why it
regenerates the blood supply; why 1t
has such a tremendous influence in
overcoming eczema, rash, pimples, and
all skin Affections.
And Inc regenerating the tissues
S. S. S. has a rapid and positive anti
dotal effect upon all those irritating
influences that cause rheumatism, sore
throat, weak eyes, falling hair, loss of
weight, thin, pale cheeks, and that
WEAKNESS of muscle and nerve that is
generally experienced as spring fever.
Get bottle of S. S. S. at any drug
store, and in a few days you will not
only feel bright and energetic. but
you will be the picture of new life.
S. S. S. is prepared only in the labora-
tory of The Swift Specific Co, 1877
Swift Bldg, Atlanta, Ga, who main
tain a very efficient Medical Depart
ment, where all who have any blood
disorder of a stubborn nature may
write freely for advice and a special
book of instruction. s. s. s. is sold
everywhere by drug stores, department
and general stores.

LOVE IN LA GRANDE
DOES NOT FEAR AGE

La Grande, May 1.-2ove has no
fear of age; three score and ten"
has no shackling powers over Cupid.
Such, at least is the opinion voiced by
friends of Hans Jensen, aged rs, and
Mrs. NJ. f. Wilson, aged 81, of this
city. They were married yesterday
afternoon at what will be their home
through the last lap of century life
near Second and Grandy. The
bride, just able to peep over the hill
to a century age made her promises
with the same bashfulness and love-
born mbarassment that the school
girl bride of 16 does; the groom prom
ised to provide and protect with the
Chesterfieldean bravajo of a youth,
and as Rev. H. P. Nelson pronounced
them man and wife, bushes of con-
ubial bliss spread the wrinkled coun-
tenance with as much radience as the
bride and groom of 90 A few friends
dropped in to witness the marriage in
a little cottage the groom has provid-
ed for himself and bride. Mrs. Will
son has a full grown son who is a
prosperous farmer in the valley and
both are highly respectable and well
known people.

For the Layette.


There are so many articles which
must be supplied for the layette, and
all of them can be made at home.
When the daintily embroidered and
lace trimmed dresses are finished then
the little crib must be supplied with
covers. The pillow case and top
sheet should be embroidered to match
Embroider the sheet across the up
per end, and If the linen is not al
ready hemstitched scallop and but
tonhole-stitch the edge.
For the small cribs the two sheets
are very frequently made in one. In
this case care should be observed to
stitch the hem so that the right side
will come on top. A double sheet
can be used as a single sheet on a
larger bed Stamp the design on the
top sheet and embroider it in satin or
eyelet stitch.
Carriage covers of linen or pique
are lovely when embroidered in
pretty design. Cut the cover accord
ing to the measurements of the car
riage. If pique is used, 1t will be ne
cessary to cut the piece for the flap
and seam It on the under side, This
falls over the strap, giving pretty
finish to the cover. Make the cover
of ample dimensions, so that 1t Will
fall over the edge of the carriage,
A clear-cut. simple design is most
suitable for the cover, and If en-
broidered in the eyelet and satin
stitches it is especially attractive.
Lambs wool covers are warm and
easily made. They can be used for
the Grip. bassinet or carriage. Bind
the edges with two or three inch wash
| ribbon. Basic this binding first in
order to keep it even When en-
| broidering a lambs wool blanket the
more successful way is to stamp the
design on tissue paper, oaste 1t over
the cover and tear away the paper as
| the embroidery is done. Use heavy
slightly twisted white silk
Flowers with the petals worked
| with the laZy-daisy stitch are ettectlVe
and quickly done. No padding is re-
uuired for the work of this variety.
When embroidering the baby's pill
| low remember to leave the center
perfectly plain, There are many ways
to finish the edge of lingerie plllo"
and the hemstitched ruffle Is easily
laundered Join this to the pho"
with a narrow beading. An edge oil
| yalenciennes lace is also effective
and IL you desire a more elaborate
edging make a ruffle by edging IN
sertion with an edging. Sutch tne
lace to the insertion with little fpil-
ness but join the insertion to the pill
low without gathers.
Handkerchief linen, batiste ana
barred dimity are suitable materiais
for making the baby's pillow.

The PauIist Choristers, that are an
nounced by T. Arthur Smith for q con-
cert at the Columbia Theater next Tues
day afternoon at 4:30 O'Clock, come here
from Chicago, bringing with them ideals
that have interested professional musi-
clans and the laity of all the musical
centers of America and Europe.
They have not lost the subtle mysti-
cism which so impressed the judges at
the great international competition Of
Paris in May, 1872 Many of the boys
who now stand as reliable exponents
of the art which is associated with the
Paulist Choristers' name began their
careers with but a modicum of musical
talent.
The boys travel on special trains un-
der the care of a head chaperon who
regulates according to a traditional sys-
tenn the assignment of berths, the dis
cipline, and all such details as are
necessary in the routine of travel
Sometimes they have Travelled twelve
hundred miles and by some accident or
other have been delayed on the road,
have appeared at great concert imme-
diately on arriving at a city without
even time to refresh themselves by re-
making their toilet. The concert to be
given here by The Choristers will be
unique from many points Of view.

One of the best-known men of this
country is William J. Burns. the detec-
tive. His work in connection with the
dynamiters is well known, and his opin-
ion on matters of interest Is that of one
who knows of what he Is talking. Mr..
Burns saw the motion pictures of the
'Kolb Brothers Shooting the Rapids Of
the Colorado River Canyons. and at the
finish Of the evening declared that he
would rather run down the dynamiters
any day than to run down one of those
rapids" This performance has been
publicly indorsed by Burton Holmes,
Buffalo Jones, and others, and the sue
cess achieved last Sunday evening has
made a return date necessary.
This performance, with a story by

perience in duplicating Major Powell s
Journey, will be given again at the New
