Mir, sousa's bill is entitled the Pure Song Bill and II passed, it would create considerable Of furor along ''fin Pan Alley as the song publishing district in New York is termed and in the ranks Of the artists of the two.a-day.
 Proposing laws seems 10 be our national pastime." says sousa, "so ] think will offer my pure sing Dill. The first section Of the bill would aus thorize the proper authorities, at their discretion to send back to the states they say they want to so back to the young men who are now singing inc locality songs. Recently. l attended vaudeville performance in New York, and was entertained by a young man who was singing a song in which he expressed a fervid desire to be back in North Carolina in the morn Ing.

BLOOD PURIFIERS.
By DR. CLIFFORD c. ROBINSON

Organic diseases charts compiled in the last five years show deaths from some form of heart disease increas- ing very rapidly.
 Intemperate habits in our mode of living and eating, as we'll as our seem ing inability to adapt ourselves to our swiftly moving American civilization are the causes.
 Marked inroads are being made also by the so-called blood diseases, or those that affect the blood vessels and the normal blood supply.
 Blood disease is a. recognized med ical question of some significance, as is the study of it's causes and effects.
 Are there medicines which are blood purifiers?
 So much blood purifier" has been taken during the past 50 years that one naturally would expect a great decrease, instead of an increase, in blood disease.
 Properly speaking, there are no blood purifiers. The taking of bone set. wintergreen and pine buds may be all right for punishment or bitter taste, but not for purifcation of your blood.

 | Now, of course. every girl can or thinks she can earn her own living. She is not dependent upon any man, especially if she has been wage earner before marriage. Consequent ly she tries to please herself. She does not believe everything her husband tells her about his hard work and how much of his strength it takes to keep her and his home. She has been in offices and knows just how hard men work.
 She thinks she should have quite as much to say as to how he shall spend his money as he has about how she shall spend hers. She does not consider the money which he doles out to her as a gift. It is quite as much her money as his. It takes great deal of love, Sally, to bring two people with such different view points to see thing the same way.

 At that time you were tired, tired of working at your job and l couldn't make you see that you were just ex- changing jops and that you probably would grow just ss tired of your new one.

 But for all that. my dear. your letter has depressed me very much. ] can see where Sam is almost work irg on his nerve As Mir. Hamilton said to you. "A half blind man has much to contend with"
 And the terrible part of human nature. Sally. is that we can do q great and splendid act if we are not . too long in doing it.

Sure enough. The Fat Lady was right. The mysterious voice that had shouted for help in the side show tent now pronounced the name of Com modore Mudgett.

Your letter has saddened me. Sally dear, inexpressibly. It has made me really wonder if, after all, the good Lord, when he made Eve out of Adams rib did not always intend us to be subservient to man.
 Do you suppose, Sally, that our mothers really were as restless and unhappy as the women of today? Do you not think when women knew their only destination was in the household of some man, when they were given by their fathers into the keeping of their husbands, when all their whole thoughts and lives were circumscribed by the ideals and ideas
