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. S. contains
a particle of

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."

WOMEN AS PRINTERS.
Do Not Compete With Men to a Great
Extent.
(Reading. Pa., Telegram.)
Miss Belva M. 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-
