BY the greatest of all purifiers

A common mistake in the treat
ment of scrofula has been the use
of mercury and other mineral mix
lures, the effect of which is to bot
tie up the impurities in the blood,
and hide them from the surface.
The impurities and dangers are
only added to in this way.
For more than fifty years S. S. S.
has been the one recognized reliable

If Too Fat

How You May Reduce q Pound

Amazingly.

Lack Of fresh air, it is said, weakens
the oxygen-carrying power OF the
blood, the liver becomes sluggish, fat
accumulates, the heart action becomes
weak work is an effort and the beauty
Of the figure is destroyed.
Fat put on by indoor life i. un-
healthy and, II nature is not assisted
in throwing it off, serious case Of
obesity may result.
Don't wait until your health Is ruined
through carrying around a burden OF
unsightly and unhealthy fat
Spend some time daily in the open
air; breathe deeply, and get from any
druggist q box OF oil Of korein cap
sules; take one after each meal and
one before retiring at night, also fol-
lowing the other simple directions that
come with the box.
Weigh yourself every few DAYS and
keep up the treatment until you are
down to normal. Oil Of korein /, abso-
lutely harmless. is pleasant to take,
help, the digestion, and even a few
days treatment Is likely TO show
noticeable reduction in weight. This
system has succeeded when other RENE
dies, etc, have failed II Is the delight
of those who wish to improve their
figure and acquire younger appearance.

When the fashion for medieval gar

SEVEN MONTHS IN
 JAIL FOR TICKETS
Alice Paul and Aide Receive Severe Sentences in Washing ton COurt-COnvieted Before But Sentence Suspended.

Washington, Oct. 22.-Alice Paul, chairman of the Woman's party and one of the chief instigators of the picketing of the White House by the militant suffragettes. was sentenced to serve seven months in jail in police court here today after she had been convicted of picketing the White House. The same sentence was i'm posed upon Carolina Spencer of Colo rado Springs, one of Miss Paul's chief ades.
 Sentences of six months were hang ing over the heads of both women as the result of their convictions on a similar charge on October 4, but the sentences had been suspended. Today the sentences were again imposed and another month added as result of Saturdays disturbance before the White House.
 That the Washington authorities are determined to stop the picketing was made apparent today when six other pickets who were arrested two weeks ago and released without sen tence were ordered to appear as soon as possible to receive their sen- tences.
