No Matter How Disheartenina

Blood disorders are quickly checked BY
s. S. s., the famous blood purifier. It
rushes Into the blood and In three min
utes has traverscd the entire circulation.
1t penctrates to where the blood Is made,
it washes out those spots and places
where stagnation has settled. 1t cleanses
the membranes, drives Irritation from
the joints, fills the blood stream with
antidotal Influence and from head to foot
creates conditions that make for blood
health. There are people In every COM
munity who know this to be true. They
have used s. S. s. for severe forms Of
rheumati sm. for indoient. liberated spots,
for eruptive skin. diseases, for any ana
all those bodily conditions caused BY
blood loaded with impurities. Being
pure product OF Nature 1t can not hurt
the stomach and has therefore been the
refuge of a host OF people misguided In
their dilemma by FIRST lying to those
dangerous mercurlal drugs which have
claimed SO many unfortunates. II the
skin breaks ont in a rash, II boils or
other eruptIons appear, II there are blood
risings or any other Indications of Inn

Considerable attention has been directed
to that portion of Alexandra county, Va,
which lies between Washington and the
city of Alexandria. during the past few
weeks, by movement in which the trade
bodies of both cities are cooperating to
construct macadamized boulevard be-
tween the National Capital and Mount
Vernon The activities of the organiza-
tons mentioned have called attention to
the fact that a properly surfaced and
graded roadway is needed between Wash
ington and Alexandra and on to the his
toric home of the first President of the
land at Mount Vernon. There is a road
way along the route stated, but it is ex-
tremely uneven in places and in need of
considerable improvement to make it a
desirable thoroughfare. TO provide a
rilacadamized boulevard eighteen feet
wide between Washington and Mount
Vernon an expenditure of $4,000 will be
necessitated 1t has been estimated. OF
this amount $4,000 has been provided for.
and the trade organizations of Washing
ton and Alexandria have Joined together
in an effort to raise the remaining 10000.
Cities Will Be Joined.
Although handicapped by the lack of a
desirable roadway between this city and
Alexandria, many residential communities
have been established in the intervening
section of country during the past few
years and their growth has been rapid.
II the growth continues in the future
with the same rapidity that has charac-
terized IL In the past. 1t will be a matter
