MAID OF NORWAY.

Margaret, Princess of Norway. known to history as The Maid of NorWay,'' wts the only child of Eric, King Of that country by his marriage With the daughter of Alexander III of Scotland. Her mother died in giy- ing her birth and on the death of her maternal grandfather in 12S5 she in herited the Scottish crown, AIexand- CTS two sons having proceeded him into the grave. Alexander: had made great efforts to have Margaret brought over to Scotland, but her father re- fused to allow her to depart. The mission of Scottish nobIes which went to Norway to negotiate for her trans Ter, was lost when the ship carrying 1t back to Scotland foundered near it's nome port. When Alexander died the Scottish people swore fealty, to Margaret. who was then seven years old Edward I of England saw in this situation a favorable opportunity to unite Scotland and England and a marriage between the Prince of Wles and Margaret was arranged. Had the fates spared the ..Maid of Norway" centuries of warfare and bloodshed would have been avoided. Margaret was finally placed aboard a ship to set sail for Scotland her gr1ev1ng father watching her depar- ture as though he had a premonition of her early death. A great assem- ply of Scottish nobles gathered at Perth to greet the young sovereign upon her arrival. When the ship arrived the news spread that Mar garet was dying. Her delicate health had been unable to withstand the rig ors of rough sea voyage. She was brought to shore and breathed her last surrounded by those who had come to greet her as their new queen.

Fight Your Rheumatism
With the Right Ammunition

rheumatism is caused by millions
OF tiny germs. which are entrenched
in the blood where they cannot be
reached by locally applied lniments.
They must be literally routed and
forced out Of the blood by a remedy
which searches them out and puts
them to flight.
For more than fifty years s. 5. s
has been recognized as the most re-
liable blood remedy made. It goes
deep down into the blood cells. and
purifies and cleanses the circulation
Of every trace Of impurlty. It is the
right ammunition for rheumatism
and has been used in thousands OF
cases with gratifying results.
