How ENGLAND Honors Nurses.

Honors paid to Edith CaveT have
brought to light the fact that England
delights to honor women who give
their best TO the profession of nursing.
The first statue in the country raised
to woman. other than royalty, was
that of Dorothy Pattison in WaISaI,
as a memorial for her work during the
smallpox epidemic in Staffordshire in
1867, while a figure of Florence Night,

statue was, on the day OF the home
coming of Edith Cavel's body. pro-
fusely decorated with handsome
wreaths from an unknown donor.

Many owners Of cows are confront.

their cows. Under these conditions
there is a strong temptation to cut

ATTENTION TO YOUNG BULLS
When Six Months of Age They Should
Be Separated From Females
Don't Retard Growth.

After the bull is six months of age
he should be kept apart from the fe-
males. If well grown and vigorous, he
may be used for occasional service
when ten months of age. 1t is a safer
plan, however, not to use the young
bull until he is twelve months Of age
50 that his growth viii not be retarded.
One rule to follow regarding the num-
Der of cows with which a young bull
may be mated is that the bull may
serve during a season as many cows as
he is months of age. In herds where
tae services are distributed throughout
the year, instead of during a particular
season, the number may be greater, in
some cases but one bull being neces-
Sury for herd of 40 b. 90 cows.

ROMANTIC STORY or AMBER
Why Llthuanians Are Convinced the
Sea Has Been Known to Give
Up Its Dead.

Originally the earth was a white-hot
mass of gaseous vapor That was too
long ago for even the oldest inhab-
itants TO remember, because the heat
was so intense that there was no such
thing as an lnhabitant on the earth.
The only way we know 1T Is by seeing
other planets so young that they are
still nothing but unbelievably hot gas.
After a while the earth cooled off a
bit Instead of gas, 1t was solid
mass, but white-hot still-then red
hot--then cool enough to allow some
primitive form of vegetable life Be
fore long, in about million years or
so, the earth became cool enough to
have flourishing vegetable garden on
its surface.
Some parts of the earth continued
to develop until Adam and Eve came
on the scene. Lithuania. the new Bal
tic republic, had just about reached
the Adam-andEve stage when 1t got
drowned out of sight The whole coun-
try literally disappeared. It was COW
cred by the sea.
There IS a common belief that the
sea never gives up its dead. 1t isn't

Among the other short cuts cited
are method of learning shorthand in
seven days, one of gaining 'thor-

MILLIONS OF CATARRH
GERMS AFLOATI IN The AIR

You may use sprays, douches,
washes, ointments and j%ellies by
the gallon, and the best you can
possibly expect from such treat
ment is mere temporary relief.
But what you want is some per
manent progress toward Kidding
yourself of the disease. and this
you cannot hope for until you
use a treatment that goes di-
rect to the cause Of the dis
ease.
You must realize that Catarrh
is more than a mere local irri-
tation that stops up your nose
and initiates your throat and
chokes up your breathing APP
paratus. Merely clearing these
up temporarily with strong So
lutions of sprays and other local
treatment. does not in the least
effect the real cause of the dis
ease.
Your blood is saturated with
Catarrh germs. and these will
continue their irritating at
tacks as long as they remain in
the blood.
The only sensible treatment.
therefore, is the one which will
rout the disease germs from the
blood.
This is why the most salts
factory remedy for Catarrh is
S. S. s., the famous old reliable
blood purifier. S. S. S. has been
used successfully for Catarrh for
more than fifty years. and It is
the one remedy that attacks the
source of the disease, cleansing
the blood thoroughly. and elm
mating from it every trace Of
disease germs.
II you want a remedy that
goes direct to the seat of the
disease. begin to take S. S. S.
today, and throw away your
atomizers and other local treat
ment that cannot possibly reach
your Catarrh. You will be de-
lighted afer giving this remedy
a trial, and will soon find your
self on the road to a complete
recovery. 5. S. S. is sold by
druggists everywhere.
Begin Its use today, and
write for free medical advice

THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY
TROUBLE AND NEVER
SUSPECT IT
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from drug
gists who are constantly in direct
touch with the public, there is one
preparation that has been very sue
cessful in overcoming these condi-
tions. The mild and healing in
nuence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root
is soon realized. II stands the
highest for its remarkable record
of success.
An examining physician for IN
of the prominent Life Insurance
companies. in an interview of the
subject, made the astonishing state
ment that one reason why SO many
applicants for insurance are rejected
is because kidney trouble is so COM
mon TO the American people. and
the large majority of those whos5
applications are declined do not
even suspect that they have the
disease. II is on sale at all drug
stores in bottles Of two sizes. medium
and large.

this great preparation send ten cents

Atmosphere is Laden With
Germs of the
Disease.

Every person afflicted with
Catarrh releases millions of the
tiny disease germs with every
rough or sneeze, so that when
ever on the street cars or street
or other public place you see d
person afflicted with this disease
hawking and coughing and
sneezing. everyone in their vicin-
ity is exposed to the disease.
You along with everyone else
will find yourself exposed to the
germs Of Catarrh several times
every day. The germs multiply
by the millions. and the air you
breathe is thick with these tiny
little disease demons that
cause so much distress and suf-
fering.
Some people will readily re
sist the disease. while others
will promptly succumb and
soon find themselves within It's
relentless clutches. When
everyone is equally exposed. it is
merely a matter of keeping the
system in such a robust and
thoroughly healthy condition
that the germs of the disease
cannot find Judgment. You will
then be able to throw off the at
tacks of the germs and escape
their efforts.
Catarrh IS one Of the most
stubborn diseases. and Is al
ways worse in cold. damp and
disagreeable weather. 1t should
not. however. be considered In
durable, though there are thou
sands afflicted with it who are
doubtless ready to believe that
a cure is impossible. because OF
their experience.
But like all other Affections.
the main trouble is that Ca
tarrh is entirely misunderstood,
and therefore treated IN the
wrong way. Because these little
germ demons attack the delicate
membranes of the lose and
throat. choking up the air pas
and irritating the tender
lining of the nostrils and bron-
chial tubes. the average sufferer
makes the mistake of treating
merely the symptoms of the dis
ease, and overlooks It's cause.
