Purifies Blood
With Telling Effect
Gives Conscious Evidence of
Its Direct Action.

S. S. S., the famous blood purifier, almost
talks as it sweeps its way through the cir
culation. Its action is so direct that very
often in some forms of skin affection the
appearance of the eruptions changes over
night, the itch and redness are gone and
recovery begins Immediately.
As a matter of fact, there is one ingredi-
ent in S. S. S. which serves the active pur-
pose Of stimulating each cellular part of
the body to the healthy and judicious selec-
tion of it's own essential nutriment. That
is why it regenerates the blood supply; why
it has such tremendous influence in over
coming eczema, rash, pimples, and all skin
Affections.
And in regenerating the tissues S. S. s.
has a rapid and positive antidotal effect
upon all those irritating influences that
cause rheumatism, sore throat, weak eyes,
loss of weight, thin, pale cheeks, and that
Weariness of muscle and nerve that Is gen.
orally experienced as spring fever. Get a
bottle of S. s. s. at any drug store, and in
a few days you will not only feel bright and
energetic, but you will be the picture of
new life. s. S. s. is prepared only in the
laboratory of The Swift Specific Co., 534
Swift Bldg, Atlanta, Ca, who maintain q
very efficient Medical Department, where all
who have any blood disorder of a stubborn
nature may write freely for advice and q
special book of instruction. s. S. S. is solo
everywhere by drug stores, department and
general stores, but beware Of all substitutes.
Do not accept them.

"The next moment there was a
noise like the report of cannon.
The water pressure had torn a hole
in one end of the tank, and We started
in that direction at a mile a second.
You must keep your feet, I thought to
myself. I Strengthened up and dived
forward, preceded by Mr.. Brenon. He
behaved like hero. He shot through
that awful, jagged opening first, car
rying with him shower of glass splin-
ters. This saved me, of course. My
instep was terribly injured, but he
was cut in 100 places about the arms
and legs. Behind US came the octopus
and the whole tankful of fish. 1t

Brenon and I said the moment we

THEIR FIRST LOVE
BY n. M. EGBERT.

The two houses had formed one in
more spacious days, but where the
stout brick chimney reared itself
through the center of the frame build
ing brick wall had been built in, ex-
tending from the cellar to the roof,
and converting the one home into two.
The only symbol of communion be-
tween the disunited parts Of what had
been organically one was that, on
windy days, smoke from stove set
against the chimney on either side
would issue down the flue into the
stove in the adjacent room. And
sometimes, too, if any one listened at
the sheet iron, one could hear words
spoken upon the other side.
When Frank Barton and Ida Norris
were children they had played at this
game; but that was long ago. The
intimacies of the old house were not
evoked by childish play any more
Both were immeasurably old-each
was twenty.
The double house stood in a small
town, just such town as may be seen
almost anywhere in New England,
neither rich nor poor, and proud of
it's history.
The Bartons and the Norrises had
lived there for fifteen years, and had
known each other for fifty. Sometimes
the elders looked at each other from
their opposite sides of the double pi-
azza and smiled, when the boy came
home, carrying the girls schoolbooks
for her.
But that was years before. The
change of adolescence had set bar
rier between the young peoples lives.
Frank was in the local bank now. Per-
haps he earned $12 week. Ida stayed
home and helped her mother.
The thing that happened came all
in moment The girl had pictured
it thousand times, the boy never;
but it was just as surprising to each.

at twenty? The strange helplessness,
