Old Wounds Often Bother
Many Years After.

People who have been poulticing and an
nointing an old sore for years and years
marvel at the way 1t heals quickly after
using s. s. 8.
When you come to realize that the skin
and the flesh beneath are composed Of a
network Of tiny blood vessels you solve the
mystery.
There are wonderful medicinal properties
in s. S. s. that follow the course Of the
blood streams just as naturally as the most
nourishing food elements.
It Is really q remarkable remedy. 1t
contains one ingredient, the active purpose
of which is to stimulate the tissues to the
healthy selection of Its own essential nu-
triment. And the medicinal elements of
this matchless blood purifier are just as
essential to well-baanced health as the
nutritious elements of the meats, grains,
fats and sugars Of our daily food.
Not one drop of minerals or drugs is
used in its preparation. Ask for s. s. 8.
and just insist upon having 1t. And If
you desire skillful advice and counsel upon
any matter concerning the blood and skin,
write to the medical department, The Swift
Specific Co., 210 Swift Laboratory, Atlanta,
Ca.
Do not allow some jealous clerk to larrup
the atmosphere in eloquence over something

Fredericktown gets some new. en-
terprises by the leasing of two of the
new store rooms this week. The
first story of the Miller book has been
leased to H. e. Neptune, of Perrys-
Vile, who will open one of the finest
piano stores in this county. This
store will be the distributing point
for several counties. Mr.. Neptune
has had good piano store at Butler
the past year but recently moved his
operations to this place which he finds
more convenient to the territory
which he covers. The upper story of
the Miller block will be occupied by
the Miller e Son barber shop The
Fox Bros. block comprises two stores
in the first story one to be occupied
by the Fox Bros. meat market and
the other by the Shiappacasse Co.
from Mt. Vernon, who will establish
a first class confectionery, right up
to-date in every way. The Miller
room was leased for five years and
the Fox Bros. for ten years.
Special music has been one Of the
features of the revival meetings being
held in this place. Miss Ruby Show
ers has been taking vocal instruction
in Mt. Vernon the past few years and
her renditions show the excellent
training she has been receiving. A
male quartette composed of Messrs.
Wright, Anders, Rucker and Dean
have struck popular chord in the
music which they have given several
evenings the past week. The chorus
work of the choir and congregation has
also been worthy of note and is per-
haps the kind of music that is most
appreciated as all can take part.

DIAMETER OF THE EARTH.
Points at Which It Is the Greatest and
the Least.

Points at Which II Is the Greatest and
the Least.
What is the greatest diameter Of the
earth? The form Of the earth is that
Of a fattened spheroid, greater in d.
ameter at the equator than at the
poles, but this is modified by the ac-
cidents of its surface, so that the
diameter varies according to the point
at which 1t is measured
1t might be expected that the diam
eter would be greatest If measured
from the top of the highest mountain,
which is Mount Everest, in the Hima-
layas, but unfortunately the point at
which the diameter would emerge on
the other side of the world is in the
Pacific ocean, where this is more than
1000 feet deep.
Professor L. Henkel Of Schulpferda
says the greatest diameter Of the earth
is that taken from the summit Of
Mount Chimborazo, in Ecuador, 20,1S6
feet above the sea level. This, he says,
energies at the antipodes on high
point on the north coast of Sumatra.
3
This diameter is 1928 miles.
AS Chimborazo is almost on the equa-
tor, its summit is that point on the
earth's surface which is most distant
from the center. There weight Is
feeblest and Centrifugal force greatest.
The earth's smallest radius is that
from the center to the north pole, but
it is not certain that the line through
the poles is the smallest diameter, be-
cause the south pole is on high pla-
teau. 1t might be. found that line a
little distant from the poles. which
would emerge at sea level at each end,
would be even shorter than the polar
diameter. Such line would be found
from a point in the Arctic ocean be-
tween Spitzbergen and Greenland to a
point just off the coast of the Antarctic
continent in the big bay overlooked by
Mount Erebus, in about 175 to $50 de-
grees east and rs to 80 degrees south.

An Old caddie,s Retort.

He is an old caddie on an east coast
course, and being noted figure on the
links he endeavors as far as possible
to caddie only for thoroughly efficient
golfers Occasionally, however, he finds
himself accompanying .'foozler," and
on these occasions his dignity is in
jured.
One day recently he found himself
caddying to an old gentleman who
was out, clearly. more for exercise
than for the love Of the game and who
was playing shocking golf.
By the time the twelfth hole was
reached he had been in most Of the
bunkers en- route and had succeeded in
breaking a club. 81 think | shall give
up this hole" he remarked at last to
his indignant caddie. INA, ma" re-

BOYS and BonHres.

The most fun a boy can have is at a
barn fire.
The freckled boy says you call them
barn fires because you build them near
barns. Boys usually build them after
elections in the fall, but any time
when you feel bully is good time.
I" Sticks of wood do not seem so
heavy when you are carrying them to
a bonfire as when you are bringing
them in for the hired girl. Splinters
don't hurt so much either. The free
kled boy says the reason is because
you are having fun. Why, he ran
long silver under his nail one night at
bonfire and he never noticed it until
school time the next morning. Then it
hurt him terribly. He had to stay out
of school all day, and he could not do
his chores. Part of the day he carried
his arm in a sling. Auburn and Freck-

Mary Fisher the First to Be Publicly
Flogged In England.
No feature of the early Quaker move
ment was so surprising to contempt
rary historians as the prominent part
taken by women of all classes and po-
sitions in spreading it's message.
''They were not whit behind the
men," remarks one seventeenth CEN
fury chronicler, ''in courage or in con-
tempt to material obstacles. initiating
them not out of a womanly precipi-
fancy and boldness. but upon a de-

it were, their sex and being transmit

A staid matron named Elizabeth
Hooton was the first to be convinced"
by Fox's teaching and became in the
year 1649 the first woman. preacher
among the Quakers Ann Downer, the
young daughter of clergyman, car
ried the message to London, gathering
round her the nucleus of that Society
of City Friends which grew to be the
model and rallying ground for other
towns and nations. Margaret, the
wife of Judge. Fell, was the nursing
mother of the infant church-the CEN
ter of all its activities, the helper and
the ultimate appeal in all its distresses.
Mary Fisher, servant girl from
Yorkshire, heads the long list of heroic
sufferers in England who were public
~ logged for their religion. She, too,
with an older woman, was the pioneer
who brought the Friends doctrine to
New England in 1856 and tasted the
first fruits of the persecution which
was melted out to her fellow believers,
even to the extremes of mutilation and
death, by those who were themselves
the survivors of the Mayfower. Mabel

TWO OLD SAILORS.

Officer Dewey's Commands.

In his autobiography George Dew
ey, the hero of Manila bay, records
that Farragut's methods were always
simple. There was saying that his
principal place for filing papers was
his coat pocket. Generally he wrote
his orders himself, perhaps with his
knee or the ships rail as a rest. The
author recalls that one day when he
was writing he looked up and said:
"Now, how in the devil do you spell
Appalachicola? Some of these edu-
Gated young fellows from Annapolis
must know" The author continues:
"A man who had such an important
command could hardly have been more
democratic. One night had given or
ders for a thorough cleaning Of the

very early, for it was stifiingly hot.

was an old New England whaler,
