Don't DepIore War in Europe If You
Are Battling tCith Your Relatives and
Your EUery Day Associates in Life.
By Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Copyright, 1915, Star Co.
If you are an American born citi-
zen, naturally your first and foremost
reason for being thankful at this time
of year will be that you are not living
in war-riddled country. We all know
what is the condition OF Europe to-
day.
Little lads and grandsires,
Women old with care;
But all the men are dying men
Or dead men over there.
No one stops to dig graves;
Who has time to spare?
The dead men, the dead men,
How the dead men stare!
Kings are out admitting
Oh, the sport is rare;
With dying men and dead men
Falling everywhere.
Life for lads and grandsires;
opOllS IOT hluSS u SudTei
And dead men, dead men,
Dead men everywhere.
But while you deplore this condi-
tion of things existing abroad, and
while you congratulate yourself that
you are an American and out of the
war zone, suppose you give yourself
little self-analysis, as a holiday e&er-
else.
Are you really living in a world of
peace? Are you at peace with your as.
sociates in the business or social world
where you dwell?
Are you at peace in your family,
which includes your in-laws?
Are you at peace with yourself?
Unless you can answer all three of
these questions in the affirmative you
have no right to talk about the horrors
of war and how sad it is that the
world has returned to baTbarism.
You must know that war is an ac-

The Day of Arsenic and Mer-
curry Gone Forever.
Scientists Discover Botanical Antidotss
for Blood Disease.

In one Of the greatest private laboratories
In the world there is prepared remarkable
medicine known as S. S. S.
And an army of men and women bear
testimony to its marvellous effect in blood
diseases.
There is not a stage or condition of any
form of blood disease but what similar
case has been completely overcome, utterly
banished and the entire blood supply, the
tissues, the mucous surfaces, the bones, the
joints. the mouth and throat, the hair and
scalp, the eyesight-all have recovered their
normal state OF health by virtue of this won
derful S. S. S.
And these facts have been put to the most
severe tests-they have withstood the stern
-: test of all-the test of tines. S. S. hav-
ing been the standard for so years. They
have met the most rigorous, the most
searching Of all blood tests-the, scientific
and accepted Wasserman test.
And these wonderful results have been
accomplished by scientific method that has
completely overthrown the vicious and de-
structive use of mercury, iodide of potash,
arsenic ana other mineral poisons.
A New Era Dawns.
To what extent articular rheumatism, loco
motor ataxia, neurasthenia, and pernicious
anemia owe their origin to the use of min
eral drugs is a maAer of speculation. And
yet the wonderful s. S. S. not only drives
the impurities out Of the blood but so repairs
the functions OF assimilation and elimination
throughout the body that the destructive in
fuences OF even the mineral drugs are over
come. The materials of which S. S. S. is
made, are gathered by experts and the great
Swift laboratory has been visited and COM
mended by men of national fame, both in
craftsmanship and in business life. Not one
ounce of mineral drugs enters this famous
laboratory. The medicine is prepared from
the native roots; the virgin elements are
extracted by comprehensive and scientific
process; apd thus is given to the world the
greatest antidote for blood disease to be
found anywhere on the face of the earth.
An Institution of Learning.
But the Swift laboratory does not stop at
the preparation OF s. S. S. 1t has resolved
itself into an institution for the instruction
Of those who need guidance; to whom the
