May be Means of Absorbing
Disease Germs in Most
Unexpected Manner.

The research laboratory of The Swift
Specific Co. has collected a vast amount
of information regarding the spread Of
blood diseases. In thousands of instances
the most virulent types have been the re-
suit of coming in contact with disease
germs in public places, and the apparent
ly Insignificant pimpe has been the
cause. 1t Spreads with astonishing ra-
pidity, often injecting the entire system
in a few days.
1t is fortunate, however, that there is
remedy to cope quickly and thoroughly
with such a condition, and thanks to the
energy of it's producers the famous
S. S. S. may not be had at almost any
drug store in the civilized world.
This preparation stands alone among
specific remedies as a blood purifier 1t
is somewhat revolutionary in its compo-
sition, since it accompishes all that was
ever claimed for mercury, iodides, arsenic
and other destructive mineral drugs, and
yet it is absolutely a purely vegetable
product. There are more cases of artic-
ular rheumatism, locomOtor ataxia, pa
resis, neuritis and similar diseases result
ant from the use of minerals than from
disease germs direct. These facts are
brought out in highly interesting book
compiled by the medical department of
The Swift Specific Co, 1877 Swift Bldg,
Atlanta, Ga. 1t is mailed Free together
with a special letter of advice to all who
are struggling with blood disease.
Get a $100 bottle of S. S. S. to-day of
your druggist. 1t will surprise you with
it's wonderful action in the blood.

Meets His Approval.

The announcement today that the
finance committee of the senate and
the ways and means committee of the
house will work on the tariff bill in
joint conference, consulting the presf-
dent often, is in line with his idea thar
the leaders in congress should draft
bill, which should stand or fall on it's
merits both in congress and before the
country. He believes in enforcing par
ty discipline and after the leaders have
approved the tariff he will make ev-
cry effort to have it passed in both
houses without material alteration. He
was busy today. He met number Of
members of congress on questions Of
appointments, received visitors in the
east room, and took an Automobile ride.
Senator Smith of Maryland called to

INSPECTION OF
PREMISES HAS
BEEN POSTPONED
CAUSED BY BAD WEATHER
Tour Will Be Made Later in
the Season

On account of the fact that bad
weather has been a prohibitive facto-,
the inspection tour of the household
premises of the city which was to have
been conducted this week, beginning
last Monday, has been postponed until
later in the season.
1t had been planned by City Marshall
Smith to make this tour take the place
of spring cleaning day, as Americas
was not sufficiently alert to follow the
example of OTTER cities as regards sucn
a day. A careful tour of inspection,
with the purpose in view of seeing that
the premises of all the houses in tbs
city are clean, would be as effective as
a regular cleaning day.
This tour will be carried out later
by Marshal Smith. He will endeayor
TO see that every house in the city has
properly cleaned premises before the
tour is ended.

(By Edna K. Wooley.)


Outside of Massachusetts and Me-
RE Old England, where there is a
tremendous surplus of women, any
woman can be a Mrs" but it takes
strength of mind and high ideals to
remain a Miss"
It's whole lot easier to get mar
ried than to stay unmarried, and d
great many women who were married
in their teens will tell you so, as well
as great many men who will ex,
plain that they married when they
weren't old enough to know any bet
ter.
And many an able woman is proud
of her title of "Miss"-a title which
means more to her and her orbit than
if she had married the nonenity who
once upon a time courted her, and
whom she at one time thought of mar
rying. Today she is eminent as Miss
So-and-So. She might have been an
obscure and soured-on-the-w world Mrs
Never Was, beating down the vege-
table man, mending Henry's old coat,
turning her black alpaca and wonder,
ing why the children had to take after
such BOBBY as Henry.
Therefore the mo Vote, No Tax"
club of Chicago will have few support
ers in its decree that all women shah
be known as Mrs" whether married
or not. Its president, a spinster, has
had her cards engraved as Mrs. Nellie
Squire"
The average woman is too con-
scientious, has too keen a sense Of
honesty, to sail under what, accord
ing to our social custom, would be
false colors.
However, it doesn't seem quite fair
that women should be always required
to show their status in matters where
men are exempt
A man is always a Mr." bachelor
or benedict The prefix to his cogno-
men gives his freedom never enjoyed
by women. He enjoys a delightful
mystery where his history isn't known,
and takes a keen JOY in fencing the
questions of curious femininity CON
corning his matrimonial eligibility.
A man engages himself to marry.
He doesn't feel under the necessity
OF wearing an engagement ring. HIS
pals don't surround him and want .
see his diamond. His fiancee isn't
Judged according to the size and ap-
parent cost of the solitaire he wears,
because convention doesn't demand
that he wear any.
A man marries, and is just as thor
oughly married as the woman, though

PRESIDENT STANDS
AS PARTY'S LEADER
Plans to Be in the Capital
During Extra Session

Washington, D. c., March 2O.-Presi-
dent Wilson will confer frequently with
members of the house and the senate
during the extra session of congress.
This was announced at the white house
today The president intends to mako
himself as accessible as possible to
members of congress on these DAYS
when tariff legislation will have reach
ed its most important DEVELOPMENT He
found while governor of New Jersey
that legislation often was expedited bv
his close combination with the New
Jersey legislature. He made it prac-
tice to be in his own office whenever
the legislature was in session, day or
night, and gave precedence in his en-
gagements to the legislators.
The president will go to the capitol
IN a spirit of friendly cooperation,
there to consult with democrats ana
republicans alike in progress of leg
islation. He believes that he should
go to the capitol as party leader and
he has always said that the president
of the United States is the elected lead
er of his party, and that he is particu,
larly charged by the people with the
carrying out of party pledges. He be-
lieves the tariff bills should be treated
as a marty nnnacnrn
