Life" in its recent issue, carries a
clever, ironieal sort of reply TO the
prejudicial objections of the conservative
element among semi-equal suffragists. It
is contributed by one Kenneth f. II. I'm

She has been here all the while. You
needn't marry her. Let her accomplish
the work for which she is fitted, and which
she enjoys doing. There are not so very
many purely executive men. Quite likely
she wouldn't have you anyway. Your

No Reason Why Anyone Should Suffer
Such Disheartcning Experience.

No case of poisoned blood is ever cured
until the last destructive germ has been
eliminated from the system. And the only
remedy that is assimilated in the tissues
and stimulates cellular activity to over
come harmful germs is the famous blood
purifier, s. s. s.
The skin Is but fine network of tiny
blood vessels, and the specific action Of
s. s. S. is declared by eminent authorities
to be a pronounced stimulation of the acttv-
ity of these cells.
The reason for this is in the peculiar
action of 3. s. S. which enables the cells
in the skin to select from the blood the
nutriment 1t requires for regeneration.
Not only this. but If from the presence
of some disturbing poison there is a local
or general interference of nutrition to cause
boils carbuncles, assesses and kidney
troubles, s. s, S. so directs the local cells
that the poison is rejected and eliminated
from their presence.
: This fact has been demonstrated year in
and year out In a wonderful number OF
cases Of severe skin eruption that had
seemed to be incurable. .
