that so stimulates the cellular tissues

This means that all decay, all breaking

preserve their mutual welfare and afford
proper relative assistance to each other.
More attention Is being given to con.

s. S. s. is the highest achievement in this
line. For many years people relied upon
mercury, iodide OF potash, arsenic, phys

for blood sickness, but now the pure

You can get S. S. S. in any drug store

LARGEST Novel,

The largest novel in the world has
just been finished by a Japanese
writer, Kiong TIE Bakin. 1t was COM
menced in 1852, and the author found
a publisher willing to publish the novel
in volumes as the writer finished them,
the last volume being turned over to
the publisher this year.
There are no fewer than 106 volumes
all told, each one containing 1000
pages, and each page has about
thirty lines each containing an av-
erage Of ten words, so that the work
consists Of LOG volumes, 106,OO pages,
3,1S0,OOO lines, and 3S.1O0,O0O words,
and 1t weighs about 130 pounds. So
far 1t has not been suggested that this
work should be translated and pub
lished in England.
1t would just be the thing for, the
library Of convict prison, SO that
when man was sentenced to ten
years hard" he could calmly start at
volume one and plod on without inter-
ruption till "Finis" was reached.
Only some of the poor fellows might
be asking for FIVE years more If they
were "let off" reading the book.

BEST OF OUTDOOR FUN
HAPPY THE MAN WHO FINDS DE.
LIGHT IN FISHING.
Enjoyment Not Given to All, and Hard
to cuItivate-HeaIth, Strength,
Courage and Fortitude In
the Sport.

There are in this world two sorts
Of men, those who fish and those who
don't.
The don't are divided into those who
would If they could, but can't, and
those who could If they would, but
won't
The won't are still further divided
into those who are quite contented that
they don't want to. and those who are
dissatisfied with themselves because
they lack the taste.
When we get as far as this we reach
the man who could If he would but
won't, and would If he could but can't.
Talk to him about 1t, and he will
tell you something like this:
Yes; / know that 1t is a great thing
to go fishing. There is my partner. He
is fisherman, says It's fun, and by
the way he sticks to it and leaves
me here to take care of things, guess
likely 1t Is fun-for him. But as for
me. / can't fish. I've tried 1t, faith
fully; have sat in boat half day
at a time; have tramped miles Of
stream; have. gone through the mo-
tions and caught fish, too, but that
is not fishing; 1t does not give me the
enjoyment 1T does others. / am not
a fisherman, when l see how others
like 1t, how much good it seems to
do them, and how 1t brightens up the
world for them; / often wish / did
like fishing. But l don't, and never
SHALL"
That is what the woulds say. Just
such cases have come under the no.
tice Of almost every fisherman. For
there is this about field sports, that
while most people are quite ready to
recognize what they do for those who
follow them, the taste for their true
enjoyment is born in one, and is with
difficulty acquired in mature years. II
may lie long latent, and one may take
to fishing or to shooting late in life,
but he must have had in him, though
dormant and unsuspected, the capacity
of enjoyment with the rod or the gun,
Not infrequently people take up In late
life the fishing rod which has been
idle for years, or 60 shooting once
more after a decade of forgetfulness
of the field. They renew the sports of
their early days, and with them awak-
en- again the youthful spirit, and re-
store health and strength and courage
and fortitude. To be possessed of
such tastes is a blessing often too
1s-l~
dows his son in the care-free days Of
boyhood with liking for these sports
of the field is equipping him for life
with resources of healthful enjoyment.

ADMITTED DEBTS TO WIVES
Statesmen Acknowledge Benefits of
Better Halves.

Compliments have frequently been
paid by famous statesmen to their
wives. 1t will be remembered how
Disraeli dedicated "Sybil" "to the
most severe of critics, but a perfect
wife," and when certain wit, who
never allowed good taste to wait on
his humor, was rallying Disraeli on
his marriage he received the cutting
reply:
81 married from a motive which l
do not expect you to understand
gratitude"
Mr.. Gladstone, in old age, said to a
friend: "My wife has known every
political secret / have ever had, and
has never betrayed my confidence"
and others have borne tribute to "the
tender viligance which sustained and
prolonged his years."
Lady Salisbury, with no aptitude or
inclination for public life, was the
stay, confidante and social helpmeet
of her husband.
At dinner to Mrs. Lloyd George in
London, at which she was presented
with a. replica of a portrait of her
husband, letter was read from Mr..
Lloyd George expressing deep appre-
citation of the "great kindness which
prompts my friends to present to the
brave little woman who is my wife
portrait of the troublesome person
whom she has stood by through good
and evil report"

CHANGE IN LOVE LETTERS
Typewriter Of Today Is Held Respon-
slble for the Curt Notes Of
Cupid.

With the coming of the typewriter
the art Of writing love letters. says
the Philadelphia Inquirer, seems to
have gone out of fashion, and, In
stead of the ornate missives our
grandmothers treasure, the modern
love letter reads something like this:

Housing School Teachers.

The cities of Ulm and Frankfort, in
Germany, are trying novel plan for
housing their teachers. They are SELL
ing to their teachers good municipal
land at low price and accepting
mortgage on it at low interest. In
Frankfort this mortgage may amount
to 80 per cent of the value, so that
the applicant has to provide but 10
per cent from his own funds. The tax
and mortgage payments together, it is
said, do not amount to any more than
reasonable rent, and with his regular
"house money!" which is always al
lowed him besides his salary, the
teacher is soon the owner of his own
home.-London Standard.
