sss THE KING OF BLOOD PURIFIERS No remedy ever yet discovered has met with such popular favor as S. S. S. The people everywhere indorse it, and there are few homes where S. S. S. for the blood is not known and used. It is superior in many ways to the ordi nary blood medicines. In the first place S. S. S. is a guaranteed purely vegetable compound, made exclusively of medicinal roots •elected for their wonderful purifying and tonic properties that act npon the blood, purging it of impurities and restoring it to a healthy, natural condition. At the same time, under its tonic effects the gen- •ral system improves, the sluggish organs are toned up, and renewed strength and vigor and better health is the result. No bad after-effects follow the use of S. S. S., as so often happens with blood medicines containing strong minerals, which derange the stomach and digestion and in other ways damage the system. For diseases of the blood, •uch as Chronic Sores, Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula, Boils and Pirn- ALWAYS KEEPS s.8.s.on HAND. plea, Ecsema, Tetter, Montlcello, Arl,., M.y 81,1903. f* 00 , 1 * ?”<• ° th « Gentlemen:—For about twelve years I have troubles u^e to impure OF been ubIiie your S.

S. S will search out and remove from the blood the fixed poison and build up the health; it enriches and purifies weak, thin blood and stim ulates the circulation. Pure blood is essential to health. You can •xist.without good blood, but can never be robust and strong; for every organ, tissue and nerve in the body looks to the blood for nourishment, and unless this vital fluid is kept in a pure, healthy state, the rest of the body suffers and the system soon breaks down. Nature has pro vided in S. S. S. a remedy for diseases of the blood which long experience and a thorough test have proven superior to all others, and the acknowledged “ King of Blood Purifiers.” OUR MEDICAL DEPARTMENT, in charge of graduated physicians, is an important part of our business, maintained for the benefit of those who need advice or special information in regard to their case.

Cherokee Drug The Fourteen Commnnilinents Pro- * mnUrated by the Instractret^K-^Feed Your Hasband Substantially” the First—Courses In Marketing, Cook ing and House Furnishing. “Brides trained here” might well be the Inscription on the shingle of a new institute of learning at Logan, a fashionable suburb of Philadelphia, says a corresponded of the Chicago Tribune. There are twenty-three students in n class presided over by Miss Ethel Hen drickson. The whole course is ground ed upon the idea that the man is the “whole thing.” At the oeginniug of the term giri start their notebooks with fourteen headings, leaving blank spaces for comment and elaboration of the main ideas. A glimpse at the headings is enough to make eligible bachelors want to rush to Philadelphia on a chance ol annexing a graduate of the school for brides, one who can show her degree of “M. II.”—motlel helpmate. Here’s a bride’s duty as outlined in the preliminary talks of the instruct ress: I3g cheerful. Practice repose. Feed him substantially. Train your servants well. Spend money prudently. Keep the home bright and comfortable. Keep little household worries to your self. Bo ready always for the unexpected friend. Divide your time between baby and hus band. Be Interested in his business and in his pleasure. Take pains to be an entertaining, cheer ful and interested companion. Be us careful In your attire and as anx ious to please as before marriage. Encourage your husband to spend at least one night a week at the club or with the “boys.” Encourage him to bring his friends home and have at least one “man's" room where ho can entertain with perfect free dom. It is nil done on a practical basis. “Feed him substantially” is the first edict. Students are taught that this doesn’t mean anything like stuffing a husband with fearfully and elaborately constructed dishes that would puzzle a French maitre de cuisine. It means that they are to find out what he likes best and have it cooked in fashion. Make him forget that mother ever knew the rudiments of the culinary art. 'ibe process begins in marketing. Girls are taught how to choose the best cuts of meat, how to select a proper fowl aud how to distinguish fresh vegetables from those in a rum mage sale condition of usefulness, and they learn to market without draining the pocketbook. They are taught that “enough for two” does not mean a supply for a regiment, and they are coached in those details lack of knowl edge of which makes the average young bride an easy mark for a shrewd tradesman and keeps the garbage pall better stocked than the pantry. Having mastered marketing, the prospective bride sets to work making meals. Supplies In every detail are taken up In routine nntll the pupil baa mastered the entire cooking and serv ing of a full course dinner, even into brewing a favorite punch. Chafing dlab cookery la another branch of instruction practiced nntll the proud girl with the “M. H.” diplo ma la a veritable wizard with the alco hol flame apparatus. There la no beg ging the question or cheating the cen sor, for every girl has to eat of her trl- umpfla and failures. Worse still, all the other girls In the class partake of them, and criticism Is unrestrained. The newcomer gets some hazing on this account, but the girls are all jolly aud much in earnest generally, so no discord Is engendered. Perhaps the most trying ordeal In the culinary course Is one of the ‘‘open nights.” when the big brothers and fa: thera “and perhaps others are Invited to partake of the products.” Criticism la barred on these occasions, but the rule Isn’t necessary. Room arranging and decorating Is practiced and reduced to a science. The furniture Is arranged and placed for various effects. Hangings are re- bung and cushions are disposed of to get the best results In comfort and ap pearance. Girls are taught the magic of the skilled and artistic touch In so alight a matter ns the placing of a clmir or u table. Extremes are taught from the rigid primness of a Puritan room to the luxurious piling, color and splendor In an oriental apartment The Instructors purpose Is to give full scope to the Individual tastes of pupils In these matters, but to develop them In accordance with standards. Furnishing a house from top to bot tom is one of the practical lessons that come under the head, and students are required in theory to buy every article of equipment from nutmeg grater to a grand piano and to decorate various rooms in the house and to fit them with all appurtenances ready for Im mediate occupancy. Taken all in all. the girl with an “M. II.” deservedly won is decidedly to be coveted. The worst part is that they are not eligible to school until they have been courted and won or during the early stages of the honey moon, while yet groping In the maze of running their own establishments.
