AHealt FAMILY Is the one that can rightfully boast of pure the rich, red wine of life is coursing through the veins it im parts vigor and strength to the body and healthy action to all parts of the system. A healthy family is a wealthy family; it may be poor in worldly goods, but possessed of a priceless jewel that all the riches of earth cannot buy. A healthy family may not carry in their veins the blood of titled nobles or dis tinguished ancestors, but vigorour health is ^always an evidence of the best and purest blood, for the vital fluid contains all material necessary for the making of bone and muscle and the growth and development of the body, and upon its purity rests our chances for good health. When the body is fed upon weak, sickly blood the system languishes, growth is stunted, disease enters without hindrance, and the simplest maladies are apt to develop into serious sick ness. In so many ways does the blood become contaminated that the fewest number succeed in keeping this life-giving, health-sustaining fluid in a pure and natural state. We inherit the disease-tainted blood of ancestors, parents transmit to their children such impoverished and weak blood that their lives are a continuous "battle again' disease, and from earliest infancy are harassed by sores and the most dreadful skin eruptions, and heirs to some Some ten years ago I used your S.

South Carolina, with 14,000,0001 f acres of unoccupied land, has come I forward with a plan that seems to of fer much in the way of solving the immigration problem. The State needs new white blood to work tho mines and fields, and while this sit uation has been made known for many years in the usual way, it has not urougnt such results as are desired. Now the State has opened headquar ters in New York City, under the charge of the State commissioner of immigration, and an effort will be made to direct newcomers to the op-' portunities in the South. It is a fact that a very large pro portion of the immigrants reaching New York have no definite idea of where they can locate to the best ad vantage, and the result is that most of them remain in the cities to eke! out a miserable living. Could they i but know that broad acres awaited their willing hands, and that re wards for labor in that direction would exceed anything offered by the birr cities, it is believed that they would gladly take advantage of tho 1 opportunity. The South is peculiarly suited by climate ami resources to the people of Southern Europe, but they are not generally informed of this. The con- sequence is that section has failed to receive its share of the immigration while other parts of the country and tho large cities, are becoming over crowded. Yet it cannot be said that there are i )o many people in this country so ■■ mg as vast tracts of land remain un-! UHed for lack of workers, and, after all, it may be that the most serious problem in connection with immigra- i ion is that of distribution. If South Carolina should get enough immi grants to work her 14,000,000 acres is obvious that the situation would i<e much improved at once. (Minneapolic Times.) CONGRESSMAN MEEKISON PRAISES PE-RU-NA.
