NATURE CALLS FOR HER
OWNS. S. S.
In Spring the Demands upon the vital forces are espe
cially severe.
Let S. S. S. Supply Needed Strength

I head and throat, or dispel malaria
without reaching its source.
Your trouble is in your blood, and
you must take S. S. S. in order to
destroy the poisons that are responsible
for your condition. You will feel the
good effects of S. S. S. almost i'm
mediately, and unless your trouble is Of
such long standing as to be hopelessly
chronic, You can expect a change for
the better in a very short time. If
your case is stubborn, and does not
promptly yield to S. S. S, we suggest
that you write the Swift Specific Com
pany, Medical Department No. ,, At
lanta, Ga, for special advice, which will
be gladly given you without charge.
Your case is no worse than many
others who have found the necessary
help from s. S. s., so you have no reason
to be discouraged. On the contrary, S.
S. S. holds out to you every hore of
healthy and happy manhood or woman
hood, and entire freedom from the aches
and pains and weaknesses that have
made life drudgery, and robbed it of all
its satisfying comforts.
But you must take S. S. S. right
away. You must begin at once the
treatment that will start you on the up
ward road to health and strength, and,
if you follow it patiently and persistent
ly it will remove from your blood the
impurities that stand between you and
your goal of physical fitness. Remember
for more than fifty years S. S. S. has
been the standard blood purifier and
tonic
S. S. S. tones up the entire system,
and is a wonderfully effective tonic. Ii
you are suffering from weakness due to
overwork, worry or extreme mental
strain, you need S. S. S. to put you in
prime shape again. Nearly all such dis
orders can be charged directly to impure
or impoverished blood, and the inability
to supply the red corpuscles without
which there can be no healthy blood.
;. ). 5. changes all this, and fills your
blood vessels with the rich red blood of
health. 1t improves the appetite. aids
digestion and assimilation. helps you to
put ON flesh, and gives YOU the needed
supply of vitality to Withstand the de-
pressing effects OF hot weather. Get S
5. 5 at your drug store, and take it at
once.-Adyortisement.
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1916-05-03

You can't expect to 60 through the
hot summer months in good physical
trim if you start weak and nervous,
with vitality at its lowest ebb, and an
absence of the vim and vigor that
make daily duties and pleasures de-
lightful pastime instead of narrowing
and painful tasks.
The only way to do is to take S. S.
S. now, and put yourself in condition, as
the athlete does before contest, so
that when the strain comes you will have
the stamina to withstand the demands
made upon your physical powers.
If you are feeling out of sorts, with
nerves on edge-if you suffer from
headaches-pass sleepless nights-if
rheumatism grips you in its terrible
clutches-if malaria runs rampant
through your system-if you are sub
iect to pimples, boils, carbuncles, or
other forms of skin eruption-if your
complexion is yellow, skin parcbed
and oracked-if you are thin and emac-
iated-if any one of these symptoms fit
your case, there is not much doubt but
that your blood has become contami-
mated by impurities, and you need S. S.
s.
S. S. S. helps Nature to rid herself
of blood disorders, including the dis
agreeable catarrh, the dreaded scourge
scrofula, and rheumatism in its many
forms. Recognized medical authorities
have found that catarrh, malaria, rheu-
mstism and kindred diseases, are due to
impoverished, impure or poisoned blood,
and the Swift Specific Company has
verified this fact in its own expert
mental Laboratories at Atlanta, Ga. So
you must treat these troubles through
the blood-where the trouble is fostered
if you hope to be strong and well
again.
S S. S. is a pure vegetable blood
medicine that gets right into the arteries,
literally washing the blood of its
poisons, puts it in condition to perform
its proper work Of building bone and
tissue, and promptly brings about an
improved condition that shows you are
on the right road. The more time Won
waste with mineral drugs and depending
entirely on external liniments the
longer you will be sick, because you
simply can't rub rheumatism out of
your system, soak catauh from your

THE PUBLIC FORUM
LABOR'S LOT
BY L. P. J. Farrell
The world is wide and wonderful,
There's wealth enough for all.
And yet some toilers, worn and weak,
Besides the wayside fall
Why this is, few seem to know,
And yet the reasons plain,
"Grasping greed doth pay no heed"
And labor's voice is vain.
Chorus
Oh, ye toilers of the city
And of the mines and fields,
Your masters have no pity,
Your labor little yields.
With wealth and products multiplied
In this inventive age,
the struggling toiler is denied
A comparative wage.
The rich withhold their heaps of gold
And pit US against each other,
And smile and keep, each boarded
heap,
Thanks to our scabbing brother.
Some toll from daylight until dark \
For pittance none can save,
And see few Of the joys Of life
From cradle to the grave.
But LabOr's day has come to stay
The tOiler has the chance
To win his way to better pay
And share the worlds advance.
Yes, the toiler's day is dawning,
His dreams are coming true,
With the curse of labor lifted
To the imeight of review.
He knows the cause is unjust laws
And that they can be Tighted,
OutnUmbering those who him OPP
pose, -f..
When toilers are united.

A DEFENSE OF LOEB.-It gives

honorable Mr.. Jacob Loeb, who so
well fills the high situation on the

therefore, l will not be surprised
greatly if you do not publish my de-

will give you the opportunity of
showing whether you are so fair as
you pretend to be, if it suits you.
Yet, that Mr.. Jacob Loeb is a He
brew may have much to do with
your stand against him, which shows
that you forget that the business
men of the greatest financial stand
ing in this city are Hebrews: Witness,
Mr.. julius Rosenwald of Sears, Roe
buck & Co., who can give $4,000 so
easily to the greatest medical college
in the world that is to be in Chicago.
Also you forget, or you do not want
to remember, that Mr.. Jacob LOeb's
own brother, Albert Loeb, is vice
president of this Sears, Roebuck &
Co., the greatest mail order house in
the world, and that 95 per cent of the
stock is owned by Hebrews, who are
the greatest business princes of the
earth also. And if you care to look
into the matter you will find that all
the large department stores are con-
trolled by Hebrew capital, and as it is
money that makes the mare go,
whether spelled thUsly or with a y
why should not a bright, brainy,
shrewd Hebrew such as the talented
Mr.. Jacob Loeb be at the head of our
public schools? Suppose Mr.. Jacob e

he not therefore deserve all the more

sition. And has he not proved his
