MERCURY WORSE THAN THE DISEASE The effects of Mercury and Potash are worse than the effects of Contagion Blood Poison, for which these mineral are generally used. They cannot cure the disease, and in addition set up a pois on of l -.-ir own, producing dyspepsia, l>y drying up the gastric juices, salivation’, sores, mercurial rheumatism, and often necrosis of the bones. Bowling Green, Ky., Mitchell House. Gentlemen:—For over four years I suf fered greatly from a severe case of Con tagious Blood Poison. I went to Hot Springs, staying there four months at a big expense. I then consulted physi cians, who prescribed Mercury. Noth ing did me any good, in fact the treat ment proved more harmful than benefi cial. Thus I continued to sutler for four years. I mentioned my case to a friend, who told methatS. S. S. had certainly- cured him. I at once commenced its use. and in six months could find no traro of the disease whatever. This was about two years ago, and theie has been no signs of return. D. M. SANDEliS. S. S. S., a remedy made from roots, herbs and barks, is the only known an tidote for Contagious Blood Poisqn. It thoroughly and permanently dedicates the poison from the blood so that no sign is ever seen of the disease in future. S. S. S. builds up instead of tearing down the system, as do Mercury and Potash, and when it has cured the disease every part of the body has been toned up by its purifying and tonic eiiects. S. S. S. also removes any effects of the mineral treat ment from the blood. We offer a reward of f,000.00 for proof that PURELY VEGETABLE. S. S.

NATINAL QUARANTINE. Sentiment in Favor of It Among Southern States. Now Orleans, La., Sept. 28. A can vas of the towns of Mississippi and Ixiulsiana, recently made by a local business man. demonstrates a remark able sentiment In favor of national control of Quarantinea of infectable points of entry. Out of 28.1 replies received but fifteen expressed them- elves as opposed to national quaran- ine, and a few were “doubtful,” but he overwhelming majority declared i.- national quarantine “unanimously” s some of them put it. These letters Iso gave an idea of the progress be- mg made by the mosquito doctorine. The firm belief in this dogma was ex- iressed by 2:»r> communities who had •Toceeded to exterminate the post, eighteen did not believe in it. and the est had done nothing to the mosquito vhatever or claimed they had none to •xterminate. Louisiana showed up particularly well in the matter of freight quarantines the average being twenty without quarantines to five who still apply them. Mississippi’s aver- ige was nearly one half either way. the inclination being toward the ‘ ‘no quar antine" column. Lafayette, La., is having the time of its life over quarantine questions ana suits and counter suits are threaton- e I between the Parish police jury and Parish board of health. The lattei passed a resolution modifying quaran tine restrictions as between F’arish and city and the police board dis agreed and a petition was signed by all the leading business men praying for injunction proceedings against the Parish authorities from maintaining the quarantine, which the claim should he abolished as unnecessary, injurious, senseless and notoriously ineffective. The Vicksburg Board of Trade and merchants generally are endeavoring to have the local quarantine restric tions modified in order that supplies may lie sent to numerous points where they are badly needed. Many of the towns surrounding Vicksburg and which draw their supplies from that city, have come to the conclusion that yellow fever cannot be earned in freight and that it is bettor to accept ,he word of the scientists concerning the mosquito, rather titan starve oi 'tuneees.sarilv destroy commercial in coming to realize that the bite of the infected mosquito is the only means of transmitting yellow fever and where the mosquitoes are killed, there can be no infection."

Herron, Instructor in economics in the University of Illi nois, is the author of a monograph on “Labor Organv.atiobs Among Women,” which has recently appeared. In this monograph. Miss Herron discusses, in an interesting way, the work of wo men in the printing establishments of the country. She says that the work of women in the newspaper offices is small in pro portion to that of men. There are a few women employed on newspaper in the large cities as machine opera- tors or proofreaders; in the smaller towns they set up straight matter, but are never employed as a makeup or in the ad. room. In 1000 there were in newspaper and periodical offees, 73,6.5!] men, earning nearly $45,000,000, and 14,851 women, earning $4,600,000, a ration of something less than five to one in favor of the men. During the decade 1800-1900 there was a much greater increase among the women than among men. suggest ing that competition had led to a search for cheaper labor. Of the 9,043 workers upon the linotype machine only 520 were women. A large pro portion of these machines are in news paper offices and a partial explanation of the small number of female opera tors in this class of work is found fn I the necessity for night work on all morning papers. The efficiency of women as printers and their corresponding wages is gen erally less than that of men. One explanation of this is that they can not stand tlie strain of the rapid work which the newspaper offices in particu- Protect Yourself ^ • • • Against loss by accident, sick ness, fire, storms, and leave your family comfortably “fixed” when you die, by investing in ! ^ an INSURANCE POLICY.
