THAT DO NOT HEAL SORES Whenever a sore or ulcer does not heal, no matter on what part of the body it may be, it is because of a poisoned condition of the blood. This poison may be the remains of some constitutional trouble; the effect of a long spell of ^ickness, which has left this vital stream polluted and weak, or because the natural refuse matter of the body, which should pass off through the channels of nature, has been left in the system and absorbed into the circulation. It does not matter how the poison became intrenched in the blood, the fact that the sore is there and does not heal is evidence of a deep, underlying cause. There is nothing that causes more discomfort, worry and anxiety than a festering, discharging old sore that resists treat ment. The very sight of it is abhorrent and suggests pollution and disease; besides the time and attention required to keep it clean and free from other infection. As it lingers, slowly eating deeper into the surrounding flesh, the sufferer grows morbidly anxious, fearing it may be cancerous. Some of those afflicted with an old sore or ulcer know how useless it is to ex pect a cure from salves, powders, lo tions and other external treatment. Through the use of these they have seen the place begin to heal and scab over, and were congratulating them selves that they would soon be rid of the detestable thing, when a fresh supply of poison from the blood I have had a crippled foot all my liie, which compelled me to use a brace. By some unaccountable means this brace caused a bad Ulcer on my le?, about six years agro. I had good medical atten tion, but the Ulcer got worse. I was in duced to try S. S. S., and am glad to say it cured me entirely, and I am convinced that it saved my leg for me. I have, therefore, great faith in S. S. S. and gladly recommend it to all needing a reliable blood medicine. Bristol, Va.-Tenn. W. J. QATB. would cause the inflammation and old discharge to return and the sore would be as bad or worse than before. Sores that do not heal are not due to out side causes ; if they were, external treatment would cure them. They are kept open because the blood is steeped in poison, which finds an outlet through these places. While young people, and even children, sometimes suffer w’ith non-healing sores, those most usually afflicted are persons past middle life. Often, with them, a wart or mole on the face inflames and be gins to ulcerate from a little rough handling ; or a deep, offensive ulcer de velops from a slight cut or bruise. Their vital energies and powers of re sistance have grown less, and circulation weaker, and perhaps some taint in the blood, which was held in check by their stronger constitutions of early life, shows itself. It is well to be sus- picious of any sore that does not heal readily, because the same germ that produces Cancer is back of every old sore to be w w w circulation to produce this fatal disease. There is only one way to cure these old sores and ulcers, and that is to get every particle of the poison out of the blood. For this purpose nothing equals S. S. S. It goes down to the very bottom of the trouble, cleanses the blood and makes a permanent cure. S. S. S. enriches and freshens the circulation so that it carries new, strong blood to the diseased parts and allows the placs to heal naturally. When this is done the discharge ceases, the sore scabs over and fills in with healthy flesh, and the skin regains its natural color.

SETTLED TO REGULAH WORK Dissatisfaction Over Peace at Ports mouth Only Temporary—Feel Great Gratitude Toward American People. Togo to Visit United States. New York, Dec. 13.—Lloyd Griscom, United Staies minister to Japau, ar rived in this city, coming by way oi Sun Francisco on a short leave oi ab sence. Last night he talked imerest- ingly about Japan, her condition alter the war and Ihc present prospects in the far east. Since the war, Mr. Griscom said, the Japanese people have settled down to their regular occupations. The govern, ment is busy paying off its war debts and adjusting its finances. The whole aim of the Japanese is toward indus trial’expansion at present. All efforts are turned in that direction. As to the alter peace rioting Mr. Griscom said that the dissatisiaciion over the peace of Portsmouth was merely tem porary and has become unimportant now. The feeling of discontent has entirely disappeared and the Japanese people feel great gratitude toward the American people and particularly to President Roosevelt for bringing about peace. The mikado issued au edict telling the people that there was a gov- ernment caring for their interests and advising them to attend to their regu lar occupations. The people obeyed as they obey everything emanating from the mikado. Mr. Griscom de clared emphatically that after the ex citement due to the first news from Portsmouth had subsided the people sided unanimously with the govern ment and recognized the wisdom of making peace with Russia. He was asked about Korea and the Japanese protectorate. “Korea is not strictly in my prov ince,” he said, “and although I saw Marquis Ito shortly before his depart ure from Japan to Korea, the Korean question has developed since I left Japan. People in the United States are better informed concerning Korea than I am. "I saw Admiral Togo frequently be fore my departure from Japan,” the minister said. “He told me that he intended to visit the United States with his fleet next autumn, after first paying a visit to England. Japan’s ally. I told him to go, that he would be cor. Jially received, as the American peo ple are always glad to welcome a brave man.” Mr. Grl«com Intends to go on to Washington in a day or two. His de parture from this city has been delay ed by a cold brought on by the change to the American climate. He had not decided just when he will return to Japan. STYLED “OFFICIAL BUTCHER.” Notre Dame Professor Wrote Card to Sheriff Who Hanged Woman. Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 13—For sending a postal card addressed to li. H. Peck, “Official Woman Butcher. Windsor, Vt.,” through the mails, Rob ert L. Green, professor of chemistry ar Notre Dame university, was fined $10 and costs, upon a plea of guilty in the United States district court. The card was sent to H. H. Peck, sheriff at Windsor, in connection witn the case. of Mrs. Mary Rogers, wno was executed last Friday for the mur der of her husband. The charge con tained in the indictment found against Gre^n by the last federal grand jury was sending offensive and scurrilous literature through the mails.

"T h Mon tli WILL FIGHT M EAS'D RE. Jordan M Wage War Against Demand Foi New Cotton Estimate. Atlanta, Dec. 13.—President Harvle Jordan of the Southern Cotton assneia. tion left Tuesday at noon for New Y’ork city, where he goes to address the Southern Societry of Mow’ York at its annual banquet Wednesday evening. Mr. Jordan will speak to the south erners of New’ York of the conditions in the south, and especially of the great farmers’ movement, giving them some idea o'" what the Southern Cottoa association has accomplished toward increasing the price of cotton. His ad dress promises to he one of tne fea tures of the big banquet. On his return Mr. Jordan will stop in Washington and begin a fight against the passage of the Lovenuq resolution, introduced in congress Mon day. This solution, which was pre sented by Congressman Lovering of Massachusetts provides for the issue of a second report on the cotton cro.i by the department of agriculture on Jan. 10, on tne ground tnat the recent estimate was incorrect. Mr. Jordan says that the resolution is a vicious one, and that if it should pass congress it would have an uufor tunate effect, as it would lead the coun try to believe that congress consid ered the recent report a false one.
