The liability to disease is greatly
lessened when the blood is in good condition,
and the circulation healthy and
vigorous. For then all refuse matter
is promptly carried out of the system ;
otherwise it would rapidly accumulate
?fermentation would take place, the !
blood become polluted and the constitution
so weakened that a simple ,
malady might result seriously.
A healthy, active circulation means | 3
good digestion and strong, healthy
nerves.
As a blood purifier and tonic S. S. S.
has no equal. It is the safest and best
remedy for old people and children ] '
because it contains no minerals, but is (
made exclusively of roots and herbs.
No other remedy so thoroughly and
effectually cleanses the blood of im- t
ssgfo purities. At the
|jn^| same time it builds '
bilitated, and renovates
the entire system.
It cures permanently all manner 1
of blood and skin troubles. i
Mr. E. E. Kelly, of Urbana, O., writes: ]
"I had Eczema on my hands and face for J
five years, it would break out in little
white pustules, crusts would form and E
drop off, leaving the skin red and inflamed.
The doctors did me no good. I used I
all the medicated soaps and salves without j
benefit. S. S. S. cured me, and my skin 1
is as clear and smooth as any one's."
Mrs. Henry Siegfried, of Cape May, H.
J., says that twenty-one bottles of S. S. S.
cured her of Cancer of the breast. Doo- ; 1
tors and friends thought her case hope- j
less. f
Eichard T. Gardner, Florence, S. C., t

of Your Valued
VEST S TRIBUTE TO THE DOG.
The One Unselfish Friend That Man
Can Have in this World.
Years ago .Senator Vest was attending
court in a Missou'i town and became
interested in a dog case. Voluminous
evidence was intorduced to
show that the defendant had shot tho
dog in malice, while other evedence
went to show that the dog had attacked
defendant. Vest took no part
in the trial and was not disposed to
speak. The attorneys, however, urged
him to make a speech, else their client
would not think he bad earned his
fee. Being thus urged he arose, scanned
the face of each juryman for a
moment, and said.
'Gentlemen of the jury: The beet
friecd a man has in the world may
turn againet him and become his enemy.
His son or daughter that he
has reared with loving care may
prove UDgrateful. Those who are
nearest and dearest tou?, those whom
we trust with our happiness and cur
good camp, may become traitors to
their faith. The money that a man
has he may lose. It flies away from
him, perhaps when he needs it most.
A man's reputation may be sacrificed
in a moment of ill-considered aciion.
The people who are prone to fall on
their knees to do us honor when success
is with us may be the first to
throw the stone of malice when failure
settles its cloud upon our heads.
The one absolutely unselfish friend
that a man can have in this selfish
world, the one never deserts him, the
me that rever proves ungrateful or
treacherous, is his dog. A man's
log stands by him in prosperity and
n poverty, in health and in sickness.
He will ever sleep on the cold 1
ground, where the wintry winds blow 1
tnd the snow drives fiercely, if only 1
ce may be near his master's side. He 1
;vill kiss the hand that has no food to
)ffer; be will lick the wounds and j j
sores that come in encounter with the
'oughness of the world. He guards
he sleep of his pauper master as if 1
ne were a prince. Yvhen all other
'riends desert he remains. When
riches take wings and reputation falls
:o pieces he is as constant in his love
is the sud in its journeys through
:he Heavsns. It fortune drives the
i I
naster forth an outcast in the world, ,
j I
"riendless and homeless, the faithful
3og asks no higher privilege than
;hat of accompanying him, to guard

md true even in death."

Filipino Leaders Laying Down Arms.
Washington, April 30.?Three
important cablegrams were received
today at the war department from
General MacArthur at Manila. In '
the opinion of the officials the news
contained in them marks the almost j
*
COliapaG 01 OrgaiiiZCU leucuiuu m lj-ic
Philippines. The cablegrams are as
follow*:
"General Tinio surrendered with
i
his command today at Sin ait. H(f:
will deliver all men and guns in his
command as soon as they can be
gathered together. This completely
pacifies the first department, north- 1
ROODS COMPi

Patronage. Polite and
ern Luzod, for many months the
worst in Luzon."
"Colonels Ciprano Callao and Greg
oiio Katibac, Malvare, beet officers, 1
surrendered to Colonel Jacob Kline
at Lipa on April 28, with 23 officers, I
108 men and 80 ritles."
"Juan and 131as Villawor, leaders j
Abra, surrendered Bangued April j
27tb: now engaged in assembling !
scattered commands, delivering arms.
Agilpay, ex-priest, leader Ilocos Norte
province, Luzon, surrendered at
Laoag, Apiil 28.''
Tinio is said here to have been
with Alejandrino, one of the highest
officers in the insurrectionary force, j
He was in command in noithern Lu- |
zon during tbe famous chase after
Commander Gilmore.
Malvars, whose Colonels surren1
i
dered to Kline also, was of the best
known Filipino leaders. He was
Lawton's most formidable foe, and
commanded the insurrectos at the
fight at Zapote river, the most serious
battle fought in the Philippines. He ;
was confined in Southern Luzon, j
which never has been completely sub- j
jugated, and Lipa, where the surren- j
der occurred, has been one of the j
principle insurgent arsenels.
It is stated at the war department ;
by officers recently back from the Phil- :
ippines, that there remains in the field j
in Luzon only one chief whom they I
are particularly desirous of catching,
namely, Caiiles, the bead buut<r.
This man has violated every rule cf
warfare and it is not expected that
he will be taken alive.

Beware of a Cough.
A cough is not a disease but a
symptom. Consumption and bronchitis,
which are the most dangerous
and fatal diseases, have for their first
indication a persistent cough, and if j
properly treated as soon a3 this cough j
appears are easily cured. Chamberlain's
Couch Remedy has proven ;

its wide reputation and extensive

which cause coughiDg. If it is
not beneficial it will not cost you a j

Texas Cotton.
The State of Texas raised last year
more cotton than was produced by
the whole world not very many jears
ago. Year before last the Texas
crop amounted to 3,655,000 bales,
but even these enormous figures
were excelled in 1900.
Since the lirst of last September
3,400,000 bales of cotton have been
marketed in Texas and a conservative
estimato puts, the amount of
the lssfc crop not yet marketed at
250,000 bales. There is a very striking
difference in the amount of
money paid for the crop of 18981809
and that which the last
crop is worth. The former brought
about $89,000,000. The average
price paid for it was 5 cenis a pound.
^ - - i * iL .
Uwing io toe great advance ui me
price the last Texas crop will briDg
about $160,000,000, or nealy twice as
much as the preceding crop, though
it was only about 100,000 bales
larger. The greater part of the last
crop was sold at 9 cents a pound.
It is gratifying to know that the
increased cottou acreage of Texas
will not be as large as was expected
a few weeks ago. The Texas papers
generally predict that the crop of
cotton in that State year will not beany
larger than that of last year.
The farmers of that State eeem to
realize that overproduction means a
decline in price and are refraining |

is tc be hoped that the cotton planters
of other States will act with
equal wisdom.

Keep Them Separated.

graudpa and grandma, and papa and
mamma, and Uncle George and
Uncle Charlie, and Aunt Kate," and
so on, ad infinitum, until all the
members of the family are included.
Then she says, "Amen," and quickly
adds "And God bless Mary." After
she had finished the other night her
mother asked her why she always
said, "Amen," first, and then always

The Good of Laughfer.
At the recent banquet of the National
Wholesale Druggist's Association
in Chicago, Rev. Frank Crane
compared the respective remedial
qualities of laughter, says an exchange.
Some of his epigrams were these:
Man is the only animal that was
made to laugh, and, as science
teaches us that laughter means
health, it ia a sin for us to substitute
excessive drug taking for laughter.
Laughter increases the blood circulation.
It enlarges the heart.
It expands tbe lungs.
It jiggers tbe diaphragm.
It promotes the dioculation of the
spleen.
I once knew a man who laughed
so much tbat when be died they bad
to cut bis liver out and kill it with a
club.
Beware of the theologians who
have no sense of mirth?thej are not
altogether human.
Keep your cbin up.
Don't take your troubles to bed
with you?bang tbem on a chair with
your trousers, or drop them in a
glass of water with your teeth.

"I'm glad you didn't expect me to

No, John, dearest, I couldn't be so
