Wan, Weary
and Worn Out
IF You Feel Tagged to a Finish and Utterly
Used Up Here IS Quick Relief.

Half the people you meet complain
OF weary muscles, stagnant brain,
tangled nerves, and a wonderful desire
TO lay down and just quit Most Of
these people have been using nervines
that spasmodical1y flare up the nerves
only to die down again, as die they
must Avoid nerve stimUla. IS Bear
in mind that this worn out feeling is
due to poor blood, to bacteria in the
water you drink; to the multiplying
OF destructive germs in the blood
faster than they can be overcome by
the white corpuscIes; and to what is
known as autO-tOLemia, that condition
where the venous or impure blood
accumulates faster than it can be re-
placed by the red arteriaI blood.
The medicinal value Of the com
ponents OF s. s. S. is relatively just
as vital and essential to weI-baIanced
health as those Of the grains, meats
fats and sugars Of our food.
If you feel played out go to any
drug store and ask for a bottle Of
S. s. S., Swifts Sure Specific. Here is
a remedy that gets at work in a
twinkling; IL just naturally rushes
right into your blood, scatters germs
right and left up and down and side
ways.
You feel better at once, not from a
stimulant not from the action Of
drugs, but from the rational effect OF
a natural medicine just as active and
just as timely as to a man who has
been lost in the mountains, Is about
starved and comes across a settler just
cooking a savOrY meal Of good honest
beef. Do not neglect to get a bottle
OF S. s. S. to-day. It will make you
feel better in just a Few minutes. It

Since the reclamation service began

The Ten Thousand Greeks
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

n BOUT March 6, 4o1 B. G., Cy-
~ rus The Younger, with an
army of 10000 men, set out
from Sardis. Asia Minor, for Baby
Ion, the capital of the Persian en-
pire, his object being to dethrone
his much hated brother, Arta-
XerXes.
Ten thousand of the 10000 were
Greeks, hired by Cyrus, but kept
in ignorance of the real purpose for
which he had employed them. The
army was well along toward Baby
Ion before it was revealed to the
Greeks that they were to fight
against the Greek king. and the
distance from home being too great
for them to think of returning,
nothing was left for them but to
make the best of the situation and
win or lose along with the rest of
them.
Upon reaching Cunaxa, upon the
banks of the Euphrates, about rs
miles from Babylon. Cyrus was
impetuously attacked by the king
with an army several hundred
thousand strong. The vast host of
ArtaXerXes advancing steadily,
We're within less than half a mile of
the Cyreian line when the Greeks
raised the war cry and began to
move forward. As they advanced
their shouting grew louder and
louder. their pace more rapid. and
at last the whole body was In a
run. The Persians did not wait for
them, but turned and ran like
sheep, the Greeks in hot pursuit.
In the meantime, Cyrus, at the
head of a chosen body of 500 horse
men, charged the Kings bodyguard
of 5000. and put them to flight.
Then Cyrus did something very
foolish. Catching sight of his
royal brother, he cried out Il see
the man." and rushed at him with
a mere handful of followers. II
was but the invitation Of the death
which quickly came. When II was
known that Cyrus was dead, his
Persian followers dispersed. and
all that remained of the invaders
were the Greeks.
