FIERY ACIDS IN THE BLOOD All skin diseases are due to the same cause-an excess of acid in the blod caused by faulty assimilation of food and poor bowel action; this oery acrid matter is forced to the surface through the pores and glands. Pustules are formed, discharging a sticky fluid which dries and makes a crust, causing intense itching. When the crusts or scabs are scratched off the skin is left raw and bleeding. Dear Sirs--My body broke out with a Sometimes skin diseases are in the rash or emotion spite of all try form, and bran-like scales come on The itching, especially at night, was the flesh, or the skin becomes hard and simply terrible. I had tried mans highly recommended preparations with dry, often cracking, and the painful out benefit, and hearing of S. S. S. deter Itching causes acute suffering.

Salves, powders, cooling washes, etc., while they relieve the itching and give the sufferer temporary comfort, cannot cure the trouble because they do not reach the acid laden blood. T' best treatment for all skin diseases is S. S. S., a remedy that is purely vegetable and one which acts directly on the blood with a cleansing, healng effect. S. S.

This our tenth year of business life in Manning, we wish to thank out pats o the town and county for the splendid support given us in the pastond the deep appreciation we feel for their loyalty and continuoue patronae we beg to say that we intend in the future to try and merit this patronage as never before. To do this our facilities are vastly im roved over the first few years of our beginning: then there was only a inited demand for goods such as we sold. and commencing with only a .mal line of Shelf Hardware and Agricultural implements, we have year after year added line upon line to our stock until now some 01 these new lines far exceed in value our entire original stock; Our im proved facilities now enable us to bring goods to our town and to mar ;et them at a cost impossible at first. We now have a splendid credit established abroad second to none in the State. and owing to the greatly increased value of -our business we are able to ship goods in car loac lots, thereby saving not only in first cost but also in freights. We car safely say that such goods as Cook Stoves and Ranges, Wire Fencing. Barbed Wire. Nails. Sheet Iron. etc.. can be bought it our town as cheaply as anywhere in the State in large or small quan. tities. Of the above named goods s partia call theatention of our ptro o our line 01 ofth aov nme g~Cook wStoves and Ranges Wel sell the Favorite arneadth .K Mystic Range. both splendid values, but our line of Cook Stoves is fat more complete. We have in stock the Jewel Stove, made by the Detroi. Stove Works the largest stove plant in the world. but our main line is the O. K. Stove made in Louisville. Ky. This cook stove we' have proven by compar ison and experience to be the best and most durable moderate pric( stove made: this is no doubt due to the fact that only the best pig iror is used irntheir construction. This we are guaranteed by the maker: who have built up a national reputation for honest goods and they have a standing offer of reward for any piece of scrap iron to be found or their yard. We are glad to show our Stores and Ranges and we take pleasure in pointing out wherein we think they excel other makes. We also take pleasure in showing out stock, a description of which we fear would be a waste of printer's ink as the various lines we offer could not possibly interest every reader We ask that you call at our place and get prices when in the market We assure you it is our intention to describe the various lines we have to offer as well as the time it would take to read up the matter, much 01 which would not be of interest to the customer. We again ask that you call at our place and get prices, we will make it to your Interest to do so. W e again thank you for the liberal patronage you have given us in the past.

A Visit to London and a Little Les son In Etiquette. "I ran over for a short visit to :.ou don," said a globe trotter. "On the boat was a pretty widow from Altona who disgusted and amused all bands one day by saying: " -I am surprised that a fast and ex pensive boat like this should fail to supply us with toothpicks.' "She thought toothpicks indispensa ble, like napkins or forks. For think ing so we set her down as a beaker. But wait. "I dined during my visit in London at Prince's, in Piccadilly, and at the Savoy, in the room that overlooks the embankment and the river, -and at the Carlton, where I paid a dollar for a plate of soup, and at all these restau rants, which are admittedly the finest and the smartest and the most fashion able in the world. At all of them there were toothpicks on the table, each toothpick done up in a sterilized en velope. - "This taught me a lesson. It taught me that It is narrow and provincial to despise people for their disregard of certain small rules of etiquette. The things we despise them for, which may be glaring errors in Seattle or New York, may be again, as like as not, the correct thing in Paris and London." New York Press.

A lash once cut never again becomes pointed. Every lash lives a variable time and then falls out to be replaced by a fresh one. When a cut lash so falls the newcomer is pointed. So any mischief resulting from cutting the lashes will be remedied by time. Opinions differ as to whether lash cut ting promotes growth. That it renders the lashes unsightly is very certain. A Lengthy Drop. Mrs. Portly-Puffington (proudly)-We can trace our ancestry back to one of the Saxon kings. . Visitor-Indeed? Mrs. Portly-Puffington - Oh, dear, yes! We have been descending for generations.-Puck. I don't want to brag, but I've got my health and my friends, so what on earth more do I want?-Deland. "Make Hay While the Sun Shines." There is a lesson in the work of the thrifty farmer. He knows that the bright sunshine may last but a day and he prepares for the showers which are so liable to follow. So it should be with every household. Dysentery, diarrhoea and cholera morbus may attack some member of the home without warning. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy,which is the best known medicine for these diseases, should al ways be kept at hand, as immediate treatment is necessary, and delay may prove fatal. For sale by The Arant Co Drug Store. Reading on a Train. If you travel back and forth into town every day you no doubt read your paper or a magazine on the train. While this is not, indeed, the best prac tice for the eyes, it seems a pity to waste so much time which might be turned to good account Much of the annoyance which comes from train reading is due to the jolting of the ars, which continually knocks the printed line out of focus with the eye. This can be In some degree obviated by laying a card or some other object bew the line to be read and moving it steadily downward while reading. This acts as a guide to the eye and helps to keep the sight fixed. Those who have tried It say that It wonder fully assists to decrease the difficulty of reading while in motion.* Torture by Savages. "Speaking of the torture to which some of the savage tribes in the Phil lipines subject their captiver,reminds me'of the intense suffering I endured for three months from inflammation of the Kidneys," says W.

Sarasate once found his memory de serting him at a recital, but he discov ered the reason of the mishap in time to prevent a failure. A lady was fan ning herself in the front row of the stalls. The violinist stopped playing. "Madam," he said, "how can I play In two-four time when you are beating six eight?" The lady shut up her fan, and the recital was concluded successfully. Impudent Dog. A dog had the audacity to bark at the deputy commissioner of Purula, in Bengal, when he came to the house of the master of the dog on a bike. The owners of the dog were sent up for trial under section 289, and one of them, Karusha, was fined 20 rupees. Laore Tribune._ Outside and Inside. A bath cleanses the skin and rids the pores of refuse. A bath makes for bet ter fellowship and citizenship. Not on ly should the outside of the body be cleansed, but occasional use of a laxa tive or cathartic opens the bowels and clears the system of effete matter. Best for this are DeWitt's Little Early Ris ers. Pleasant little pills that do not gripe or sicken. Sold by The Arant Co. Drug Store. Trade Emblems on Tombstones. In Scotland It was for a long time usual to place. on a man's tombstone the symbols of his trade. Especially was this the case at Dunblane, where, in the burial ground of the abbey, it has been found that of those tomb stones which are from 100 to 200 years old about one-fourth are thus marked, the symbols being In low relief. A sugar cane may be seen as showing the grave of a grocer; an ax and saw, with hammer and nails, occur on the grave of a carpenter; an awl and a hammer on that of a shoemaker. There are many other graves similarly marked.-London Answers. Well to be Careful. When you have a cold it is well to be very careful about using anything that will cause constipation.

Position of Prince Albert, Royal Consort of Queen Victoria. A woman inozL':! ui with a laugh from a heavy v.uhun she was reading. "Now I know." sh s:iil, "why Queen Victoria was -o f+'d:,1 of the prince con sort. This hus:untI did not merely re gard his wife a: hi:< euial; be regarded her as ixmea-stirably his superior, say ing that it wa:s his duty to sink his own individual e::istence in her. Lis texi to this iette that Prince Albert wrote to the DuI:c of Wellington. Here is a champioa of woman's rights in deed. Don't you think, though, it is going too far for a man to humble himself so low as this?" She then read from her book in a sarcastic voice: My Dear Duke-In the question whether It is advisable that I should take the command of the army I have come to the conclusion that my decision ought entire ly to be guided by the consideration whether it would iterfere with or assist my position of consort to the sovereign. This position is a most peculiar and deli cate one. While a female sovereign has a great many disadvantages in compari son with a king, yet if she is married and her husband understands and does his duty her position, on the other hand, has many compensatory advantages and in the long run will be found to be stronger even than that of the male sovereign. But this requires that the husband should entirely sink his own Individual existence in that of his wife and that he should aim at no power by himself or for himself, being content to be the husband of the queen, the private secretary of the sov ereign and the tutor of the royal chil dren. Men fast Sixty in Danger. More than half of mankind over six ty years of age suffer from kidney and bladder disorders, usually enlargement of prostrate gland. This is both pain ful and dangerous, and Foley's Kidney Cure should be taken at the first sign of danger, as it corrects irregularities and has cured many old men of this dis ease. Mr. Rodney Burnett, RockPort, Mo., writes: "I suffered with enlarged prostrate gland and kidney trouble for years and after taking two bottles of Foleys Kidney Cure I feel better than I have for twenty years, although now I.am 91 years old." Sold at The Arant Co. Drug Store. Wooden Spoons. A curious industry in Russia and one which nevertheless finds employment for thousands of men is that of mak ing wooden spoons. In the district of Semenovsk, where they chiefly come from, no fewer than 7,000 men make a living at the trade. The spoons are generally made from birchwood, and a skilled workman can turn out sev eral hundred a day. No fewer than 12,000,000 spoons are m ufactured during the course of the fear, which are sold at 6 to 8 rubles per thousand. They find a ready market and pene trate as far as Persia, Khiva, Bokhara and Khokand. Summer Diarrhoea in Children. During the hot weather of the sum mer months the first unnatural loose ness of a child's bowels should have im mediate attention, so as to check the disease before it become serious. All that is necessary is a few doses ofCham berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy followed by 4. dose of castor oil to cleanse the system. Rev. M. 0. Sockland, Pastor of the M. E. Church, Little Falls, Minn., writes: "We have need Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy for several years and find it a very valuable remedy, es pecially for summer disorders in chil dren." Sold by The Arant Co Drug Store. How Sound Waves Move. The speed with which sound waves are transmitted through the atmosphere depends on several conditions. When the temperature is at 32 degrees F., sounds move with a speed of 1,090 feet per second, the velocity increasing with the temperature at the rate of about one foot of speed per second for each degree above the freezing point. Then, again, in damp air sound moves with a greater velocity than It does in dry air, no odds If the dry air be warm and the damp cold. In water sound moves more than f'our times as fast as it does in air, or, say, at about the rate of 4,700 feet per second. CASTOR IA Jor Infants and Children. he Kind You Have Always Bought Sinture of F~ood Value of Cheese. It is said that one pound of cheese Is equal in food value to more than two pounds of meat It is very rich in pro teids and fat Considering this, it is low in price when compared with meat and ought to do good~ service to the poor man in replacing occasionally the I regular diet of meat. In America cheeseC is looked upon more as a side dish and luxury than in some parts of Europe. The Swiss peasant depends on It as a staple second only to bread, while the use of it In England and Germany is extensive.t Delay Fatal.

Johnson, says: "Several years ago I contracted a cough which . grew worse and worse,until I was hard ly able to move around. I coughed con: stantly and nothing relieved my terri ble suffering until I tried Dr. King's New Discovery.
