./ \ OLD SORES ROOTED IN THE BLOOD Old Sores are the result of a deeply polluted, foul bipod supply. The blood is filled with poisons, and as it finds an outlet through the ulcer, the surround ing parts become diseased and the sore eats deeper into the tissues and flesh and becomes a permanent trouble. Some years ago while at work, I fell over a truck and severely Injured both of my shin* My blood became poisoned aa a result, and the doctor told me I would have running- sores for life, and that if they were closed up the result would be fatal. Under this discourag ing report I left off their treatment and resorted to the use of S. S. S. Its effects were prompt and gratifying. It took only a short while for the medicine to entirely ^ure up the sores, and I aiq net dead as the doctors Intimated I would be, neither have the sores ever broken out again; and some twelve years have elapsed since what I have described oc curred. Having been so signally bene fited by its use I can heartily recom mend it as the one great blood -purifier. Wheeling, W. Ya. J. W. FUNDIS. Care Schmulback Brewing Co. Salves, powders, plasters, etc., do no good, and the sufferer gets disgusted and often despairs of curing an old sore. The trouble is in the blood and until the poison ous matter that is keeping up the ulcer is driven out the place cannot heal. S. S. S. reaches these old sores through the blood by removing every particle of poison or impurity from the circulation and build ing up the system. It makes the blood healthy so that to the diseased parts the tissues are strength- ened and the PURELY VEGETABLE. sore can heal naturally and permanently.

Ib-pd, gress, and what Is better, he has had the brains to absorb It and assimilate It. He was a member of the house lor nearly fifteen years before he be came known to the people of the na tion. That means that he was modest and that he constantly was at work, not only for his immediate constitu ency, hut for the people of the coun try. He was digging and delving for the things that he thought would best subserve their interests. He watched the trend of things and was thor oughly posted as to how legislation was pushed through, and he saw how the Republican narty was doing it to the detriment of the people and the enrichment of the few. His few speeches In the house in those years had thoroughly impressed the Demo cratic membership of the house that he was one of the best equipped men on the floor, and had thorougnly im pressed the Republican members t|iat he was an opponent they did not want to encounter. When the time came for him to shy his castor into the ring as the Demo cratic candidate for the speakership, which carries witn it the floor leader ship, he had practically enough votes to nominate him. It required only a little work on the part of his friends mentioned above. He is cautions, careful, watchful, fully equipped on all questions, conservative, courte ous in debate, usually puts on the soft pedal, but can use the whip of scor pions when necessary. He never eviserates an enemy with invective, but merely makes them wish they had died in their cradle or jumped off a bridge before they tackled him in de bate. He is most considerate of his political friends and many times re fuses to speak on a question, when he could have handled the subject-mat ter better than any other man on the floor of the house, in order to allow some good Democrat an opportunity to speak. He is an ideal leader of the Democratic party so long as it desires or intends to remain Democratic. He is a Democrat in the broadest sense of the word. He dislikes some of the so-called tendencies of a faction of the party as much as he dislikes the hypocrisy and pretense of the Repub lican party. He is an erudite and thoroughly equipped leader of his party, as brave as Spartacus and as gentle as a woman, full of camaderie and goodfellowship. an honorable, warm-blooded, manly man possessing the affectionate regard and admira tion of his political friends and the admiration and respect of his political foes. He will be elected to succeed himself by an unanimous vote. Charles A. Edwards.

An Interesting Pen Picture of the Mississippi Statesman—The Ablest Man in the Democratic Party. Washington, D. C., Aug. 9.—The call for the extra session of the 39th con gress will compel the organization of the House of Representatives three weeks earlier than It otherwise would be organized, and if the delay in the organization of the house were all that would retard the legislation that the president asks for, he would get gome action inside of the three weeKs be fore the beginning the respalar ses sion. It is practically a foregone conclus ion that your “Cncle Joe" Cannon will be re-elected speaker and the old of ficers of the 58th congress also re elected. So far as the Democratic minority is concerned, there is not the shadow of a doubt that the Hdn. John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi, will again be the nominee for speaker, which carries with it the floor leader ship during the life of the 59th con gress, and there could not be a better selection. The record made by Mr. Williams as the floor leader in the 58th congress was an enviable one and deserves the highest consideration at the hands of the national Democracy. Democracy In the house in a demora lized condition, broken up into fac tions and quarreling among themsel ves. a veritable mob. He turned a mol) into an army with banners in three short weeks and won a signal victory from the cohorts of trium phant Republicanism. Every man on the Democratic side then had the most implicit confidence in him, and the men who are the real leaders on the Democratic side lined up behind him. and the most of them staid there to the end of the congress. The only trouble with the Democratic party is that the members of it in the congress of the United States think they are all leaders and become jealous if any other man presumes to suggest poli cies to them. Many of them, in the presence of the master mind of Wil liams, swallowed this resentment, acknowledged the superior leader ship of Mr. Williams and followed him gladly. There always are a few kick ers and recalcitrants in every body of men and the 58th congress had its share in the minority membership. The majority of the kickers and sore heads were those members who fail ed to get the committee assignments they desired, when those assignments were at the disposal of Mr. Williams. He could not, of course, give ev j ry man the best committee assignments in the house, and there you are. It may have been a mistake for Mr. Wil liams to allow Uncle Joe Cannon to push off on him the committee assign ments of the Democratic members, which always has been the preroga tive of the speaker and hitherto exer cised by him and the responsibility accepted by him as well. Some peo ple said It was a game played by the Republicans to get the Democratic membership embroiled, having it pul ling in all directions, and have fun with it. If they figured it that way they recokoned without their host, for they not only did not pull in all directions, but as I remarked previous ly they lined up behind John Sharp, at least the vast majority of them, and pulled with him steadily to the end of the session. The reason that Mr. Williams accepted the responsibility of naming the minority members of the house committees was because the former speaker, the brainy Tom Reed, had, in selecting the Democratic mem bers of the comtmitees, picked out the very men who could not sej;ve satisfactorily on the committee assign ed to him, because not familiar with its work and then, when there was some bill before the house for discus sion reported from some committee who was the leader of the minority on the committee, which had made a minority report, would have charge of the bill from the Democratic stand point and invariably would ball mat ters up In the worst way because he did not understand the subject, ami the Republicans would have all sorts of fun with them. This is what Mr. Williams endeav ored to avoid, and he invariably picked out the strongest men on the Democratic side for the big commit tees regardless of his personal feeling for them, and always from the stand point of ability to handle the subjects coming before the committee. Of course, some other fellow thought he was a bigger man than the man picked out by Mr. Williams, hence the friction and the petty jealousies. There was some talk here for a while that the Hon. David A. DeArmond. of Missouri, would be opposed to Mr. Williams for the speakership caucus nomination, and he was being groom ed by a few of Mr. Williams’ disgrunt led minority, but the talk has died out and there is no apparent opposition to Mr. Williams at this time. There is no sort of doubt that John Sharp Williams is the ablest man w’ho has led the Democratic party in the house of Representatives for many years. He is a many sided man. He „ _ . _ has had the advantage of a better | diseases arising from disordered kid- education than most men in the con- 1 neys or bladder.

A self satisfied young lawyer went over to Michigan from Ohio to repre sent a client of that State who was mixed up in some litigation over which the Wayne county court had original jurisdiction. In the course of argu ment the Buckeye lawyer became tangled, and the judge kindly advised him to back up and repeat with greater deliberation. Then the court let ‘he youth down by saying, “If you do that I will be better able to follow the thread of your contention.” “Glad to accommodate you. Judge,” said the young man as he recovered his con fidence. “I am dealing with a ver;; complicated point of law, and I sus pected that it might be too intricate for your honor to follow at the rate I was going.” The dignity of the court was knocked out, and he joined heartily in the general laugh.
