AN INVISIBLE ENEMY]
' TO HEALTH
Malaria is a slow poison, but the most stubborn and
deeply rooted when it takes possession of the sys*
tem. We breathe into the lungs the polluted, germ*
tainted air; the little microbes then enter into the sys*
tem, and feeding upon the red corpuscles of the blood,
*oon reduce this vital, life sustaining fluid to such a
^reak, watery state that the patient becomes listless,
pale and anaemic, and men
tally and physically de
pressed. Malaria may be
gin with slight rigors or
chilly sensations, followed h 3w much yood 878787w do“n« ‘mV.T dV ~

appear upon the skin; . stomach fails to properly digest the foods
and there are frequent headaches, dizziness, bad taste in the mouth*
constipation and a general worn-out, tired feeling that only a suffer#
from Malaria can describe. Other and more dangerous symptom#
are apt to follow where this disease is neglected, such as nervous prote
tration, palpitation, sleeplessness, enlarged liver, weak kidneys, boil|
and risings and dangerous-looking sores and abscesses. Malaria ’is aQ
the more dangerous because of its insidious and stealthy nature. It |#
an invisible atmospheric poison, and the germs and microbes that aff
lodged in the blood are propagating and increasing in number all th#
While, clogging the circulation and gradually wrecking the health.
What is needed in Malarial troubles i|
a blood purifier and tonic. S. S. S. purifla§
the germ-infected blood, tones up the stoqw
ach, improves the appetite and invigorataf
the entire system. It stimulates the torpid*
sluggish organs of the body, enabling them
to properly perform their functions an4
carry off the poisonous secretions and health-destroying matter that haf|^
been polluting the blood and clogging the circulation. S. S. S. coqa
tains no strong minerals, but is strictly a vegetable remedy, a blood
purifier without an equal, and the greatest of all tonics. If you hav$
py symptoms of Malaria, write us, and medical advice will be fttfi

There is a clever scheme for mak-1
ing a child’s dress look fresh, and '
changing a school dress into a pretty
little afternoon gown. Make separate |
berthas, one of the same material as
the gown, one of white linen or pique,
and one of sheer lawn trimmed with j
lace or insertion; finish the top edge i
of the bertha with a band which will j
button on the waist around the edge!
of the yoke; the buttons may be al
lowed to show, or hidden, just as your
fancy dictates. Five buttons would
be quite sufficient, one in the center
hack, one in the center of each should
er, and one at each side front.

Letter to Limestone Mills.
Gaffney, S. C.
Dear Sir: Two years ago the estate
of the late Congressman Scott, of
Erie, Pa, painted 24 Rolling-Mill
houses one coat Devoe at a saving of
11 per cent for paint (lead-and-oi! was
after the job).
That’s how the tale reads. We In
fer what really happened.
The buyer, as usual, went by the
cost of paint; got bids. Lead-and-oil
hid low and guessed the quantity low;
the saving was only 11 per cent.
Nobody seems to have thought of
this: the painting costs two or three
times as much as the paint. How
much did we save on the painting
Don’t know.
The tale ends with this: We often
refer Inquirers to those houses, for
wear of Devoe.
That’s a good-enough story; hut no
body knows what it is. Our only diffl
culty is want of paint-intelligence.
Yours truly
