Blood Bath
Knocks Rheumatism
Remarkable Effects of a
Remedy That Actually
Irrigates the Entire
Blood Supply.

1t sounds queer to take a blood bath
but that is precisely the effect Of most
remarkable remedy known as S. S. S. It
has peculiar action of soaking through
the fntestines directly into the blood. In
a few minutes it's influence is at work in
every artery, vein and tiny capillary.
Every membrane, every organ of the body,
every emunctory becomes in effect a filter
to strain the blood of impurities. The
stimulating properties Of S. S. S. compel
the skin, liver, bowels, kidneys, bladder
to all work to the one end of casting out
every irritating, every pain-inficting atom
of poison; it dislodges by irrigation all
accommodations in the joints, causes acid
accretions to dissolve, renders them neu-
trail and scatters those peculiar forma-
lions in the nerve centers that cause
such myStifying and often battling rheu-
matte pains.
And best of all, this remarkable remedy
is welcome to the weakest stomach. II
You have drugged yourself until your
stomach is nearly paralyzed, you will be
astonished to find that S. S. S. gives no
sensation but goes right to work. This
is because it is pure botanical infusion,
is taken naturally into your blood just as
pure air is inhaled naturally into your
lungs.
The great Swift Laboratory has spent
millions of dollars in perfecting, produc-
ing and placing in the hands OF the pub
lie this wonderful remedy. So give your
blood a good bath with S. S. s., for 1t
knocks the worst forms of rheumatism
and gives you freedom to enjoy life
You can get it at any drug store at
800 a bottle. 1t is a standard remedy,
recognized everywhere as the greatest
blood antidote ever discovered. II yours
is a peculiar case and you desire expert
advice, write to The Swift Specific Co..

GIVE THE VEGETABLES ROOM
Much Garden Truck Has Been Ruined
by Not Thinning Out at Proper
Time-Nerve Needed.

Do not be afraid to thin out your
plants-they must not be crowded
Probably more garden stuff has been
ruined for want of being thinned at
the proper time than by any other
cause.
However that may be. one Of the
most puzzling things for the begin
ner to find out is whether any particu.
lar vegetable should be thinned or
transplanted, and how far apart the
plants should stand afterward.
He will get some help from the cat
alogues as to the distances, but
whether he should transplant or thin
is the kind Of thing that is not in the
book.
It requires a great deal Of nerve to
pull up and destroy the unnecessary
seeding more nerve than the anna
teur possesses. They say that per
son never becomes good gardener
until he steels his nerve to this
ruthless sacrifie.
A vegetable must have plenty Of
room to develop its best size and
flavor, and one can take no pride In
small commonplace vegetables.

Best He Could Do.

Mr.. Raymond appeared at his neigh
boris door one November evening at
dusk in a towering rage and uttering
fierce threats against his neighbor's
dog Nero. Vainly the neighbor tried
to explain that Nero was only puppy.
He belongs to Johnny" he went on,
"and it would break Johnny's heart if
anything happened to him. I think.
hopefully that his manners will i'm.
prove"
Manners" roared Raymond. I'm
not complaining of his manners, but
his nature. After he had jumped all
over me he bit the back of my Leg"
That's as far as he can reach, "
broke in Johnny in wounded tone.
You don't expect little pup like him
to bite big man like you on the neck
do you, Mr.. Raymond? "-Youth's Com

Annie Salad.

Apple salad is delicious and season
able. too. You take large red apples
and scoop out the inside, creating
cups. These are put into cold water
with a few drops of lemon juice until
ready to be filled. The filing consists
of the apple chopped with celery, lit
tie grapefruit and mayonnaise dress
ing. On the top heap bits of walnut
and maraschino cherries, and lay each
cup on a lettuce leaf. This is very
dainty salad, put together at very lit
tie cost. Waters and cheese are served
with It.

EGO Beater.

An egg beaten will do many things
besides beat eggs. II a custard boils
a little too much, keep it from curd-
ling by beating thoroughly. Use it also
for lumpy gravy. After boiled salad
dressing is removed from the double
boiler beat it hard for a few minutes,
and 1t will be much more delicate and
fluffy. One may use the beaten for
cake batter. Reduce the milk with
couple of tablespoonful of hot water.
which will soften the batter SO that
you can beat the sugar, butter, milk
and part of the -four to delicate
cream before adding the remainder OF
the flour and baking powder.

Prize Buff Plymouth Rock cockerel

and is, perhaps, all things considered.
the most popular breed in this coun-
try at the present time.
It's origin is commonly given as a
cross between the Black Java and the
American Dominique. Besides the
Java other Asiatic blood has probably
been used in making the breed.
The Plymouth Rock is more like
the Asiatic than like the European
chicken. 1t approaches in size and
fattening qualities the Cochin or
Brahma, but has lost the excessive
feathering, slowness of growth and
general clumsiness of those breeds.
The best recommendation for the
Plymouth Rock on the farm is the
excellent growth made by the young
chickens. In this quality they have
no superior. The Plymouth Rock
pullets are good layers, but as year
ling hens are prone to turn into fat
rather than eggs.
Another objection to the barred
variety is the difficulty in keeping the
breed true to the standard type. The
pure-bred type birds are required to
have even and distinct bars Of the
same shade in male and female.
These are difficult points to mail
tain, and resort is often made to
double mating or the keeping Of two
breeding pens, one to produce cock
erels and the other pullets.
The white and buff Plymouth Rocks
are later products than the barred
variety. Much of what has been said
will apply to them also. The following
differences might be noted:
The white variety is free from the
color objection of the barred type, bu
the objection to the fattening tend
ency applies to hens of this variety
perhaps more forcibly than to the
barred.
Buff Plymouth Rocks will probably
average smaller than the other varie'
ties of the breed. Although a solid
colored bird, they like all buff breeds,
except the buff Cochins, will be found
difficult to breed to one color, owing
to the tendency to possess black OF
white in the wings and tail.

More silence. this time for about

Peculiar Alpine Custom.

"A curious eastern custom has been
observed for many centuries in the

finish the dance without breaking an
egg it is taken as token of the COM
