Really Nautical Term

Although the phrase, to the BIT
ter end" has become common in
connection with the expression Of
tragedy or stress, it is, in reality,
but a simple nautical term. with an
entirely different meaning. 1t origi-
nally referred to the ''bitt," the
nautical term for the turn Of a
cable, and ''the bitter end'' is that
part Of the cable that is wound
around the bitt. "The bitter end"
therefore, is the extreme end. De-
foe, in Robinson Crusoe," used the
term In that manner when he de-
scribed storm in which 1t was
necessary to order out the sheet
anchor in addition to the regular
anchor. Even then the storm was
so fierce that the ship plunged in
the high seas and the cables veered
out "to the bitter end."-Kansas
City Times.

lnDentor of cocktail"

The origin of the term cocktail"
is not known. The drink Is sup
posed to have been invented by
Elizabeth Flanagan, who was the
widow Of an Irish soldier, who fell
in the service Of his country. She
appears, after his death, to have
followed a troop of Virginia horse
men under the command of Colonel
Burr. She took up quarters In the
winter of 1870 in a place called
-Four Corners Here she set up
q hotel and 1t was In that hotel
that the drink that is known as the

Weak Milk on Sabbath
English milk users find that the
milk they get on Sunday is not az
rich as the milk delivered on other
days.
An investigation was conducted
by health authorities and It was
found that adulteration occurs
more frequently on Sunday than on
any other day.
The investigators were led to be-
lieye that the sale Of milk must be
greater on this day than on any
other day of the week and the
dairymen are tempted to increase
the supply by adding water.
The moral Of this may be: Don't
drink milk on Sunday or adulterate
the milk on week days SO you'll not
notice the low quality Of Sunday

How to Stop
8!
TAKE S. S., S.

There's only one way to stop
boils. Stop the cause of boils!
That's common sense-isn't it? All
right. Boils thrive because the
blood gets so weak in healthy, red
cells that it can't throw off the i'm
purities that get into the body.
There's not enough rich, red blood
to purify the system.
Now-S. S. S. builds back the
blood to fighting strength. S. s. S.
builds -blood-cells--builds them
by the millions! Boils dry up!
s. S. S. is the thing. Impurities
that cause hollis and other skin
eruptions can't stand up against
the rich, healthy, red blood that
S. S. S. builds. That's all there is
to it,.
Stop boils with S. S. S. It's the
way. Get it at any druggist. The
larger bottle is more economical.
