by using S. s. S. you get entirely rid
Of 1t.
s. s. s. has the peculiar action of
soaking through the intestines di-
rectly into the blood. In a few min
utes Its 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, kid
neys and bladder to all work to the
one end Of casting out every irritat-
ing, every pain-inflicting atom of
poison; 1t dislodges by irrigation all
accumulations in the joints, causes
acid accretions to dissolve, renders
them neutral and scatters those pc
culiar formations in the nerve centers
that cause such mystifying and often
battling rheumatic pains.
And, best of all, this remarkable remedy is
welcome to the weakest stomach. II you have

IDaysey Mayme and Her Folks

The cold gray dawn of the morning
after has nothing in the way of chilli
ness and gravity of color on the week
Following Christmas. There is some-
hing almost funereal in the manner
Osn which the Christmas tree in the
parlor droops; the be-ruffied and be-
ribboned gifts from friends still on
display bear look that is almost sin
lister, and the resemblance between
the sound of the toys breaking under
every footstep on the floor and the
! explosions of wrath from Father is
\terrifying.
The atmosphere is charged with the
feeling that they have become the
kindling wood which Is to burn up
both his patience and his money. And
every woman knows what that means.
Daysey Mayme Appleton was so de-
pressed when she looked over what
she had made on the Christmas trade
that she regretted she had not be-
come "spug," one of that noble band
of brave women who compose the So
ciety for the Prevention of Useless
Giving.
She wearily counted ten pearl
handled pens, five manicure sets,
seven vanity bags, four corset holders,
eleven hatpin receivers, nine fancy
\work bags, seven napkin rings and so
many aprons that if she stayed home
1very day for thirty years and wore
three at a time she never could wear
them out.
Suddenly a happy thought struck
her She would become a spug! 1t

He could not complete the sentence.
1t was as If his tongue had found an
insurmountable obstruction in the
groove OF language which 1t had begun
to follow and had to leap out to side

grew on his face. He hesitated, flushed,
then reached his hand into his pocket
and drew forth the paper on which he
had labored with such assiduity and

appointed, self-disgust writ plain upon
his face, and dropped his hands in

his sides.
