tem was not strong enough t(> throw
off the additional trouble, and physi
cians pronounced him dead. Death
from poisined gas arising from the
lungs was given as the cause.
“Although all animation and res
piration had ceased, his affianced wife.
Miss Godfrey, ”’ould have it that he
was not dead. She wept and moaned,
took the death watch upon herself
and would not leave the casket until
it was placed on a marble slab next
to the casket of his father and aunt

til Miss Godfrey, crazed by the feel
ing which grew upon her that her
beloved was not dead, returned to
Kansas City and begged especially
wMth the family to accompany her to
the vault.
“The mother who was devoted to
her son. eagerly accompanied her and
the two went together to the family
plot. Entering the vault for the first
time since the burial, they stood as
tounded at the door. The casket
was open. Sinister fears crept over
them.
“That a tragedy had occurred
neither doubted. But the puzzling
question was. ‘Who had opened the
casket?’ Trembling Miss Godfrey
•approached it. to learn the worst.
Astonished beyond expression, she
found Mr. Harvey just as he was the
day of the burial. The lips and An
ger nails were still pink, the body
was still limber, and there was not a
sign of decay in the entire body.
Later the fact developed that the
undertaker understood that the pall
bearers were to have put the lid on
•and that the pallbearers thought the
undertaker would attend to it.
“Mrs. Harvey and Miss Godfrey
had the body taken to the family
home, where they visited it daily
from May until September, wh%i
Harvey came to life, and the wed
ding followed.”

There is no surer evidence of a poisonous, polluted condition of the blood than that
manifested by a sore that refuses to heal. Every symptom suggests pollution; the discharge,
the red, angry flesh, the inflammation and discoloration of surrounding parts all show that
the ulcer is kept open by a constant drainage through it, of impurities from the blood.
When the blood is pure and healthy any cut, bruise or wound will heal readily; when
from any cause, however, the blood has become infected with germs or poisons the place
becomes a sore or ulcer, sometimes scabbing over, but never fully healing, because it is kept
irritated and inflamed by the impurities in this vital fluid. Often the rough handling of a
wart, mole or pimple which has uever shown any sign of trouble, a slight scratch or abrasion of
* the skin or insignificant hurt
of any character will become a
sore that refuses to heal, and
remains for years, eating into
the surrounding flesh, resist
ing treatment and sometimes
terminating in Cancer.
The poison in the blood
may be the remains of some
constitutional disease, the ef
fects of a long spell of sickness
leaving disease germs in the
system, or the absorption of
refuse matters of the body
which have not been properly
expelled through the channels
of bodily •waste. But whatever
the cause the vitality and pur
ity of the blood is so weakened
and polluted that it cannot properly nourish the system, and the sore or ulcer is kept up.
Those most usually afflicted with chronic sores and ulcers are persons who have reached
or passed middle life; the vitality of the blood and strength of the system have naturally
begun to weaken and the poisons in the blood which perhaps have been inherited and lain
dormant in the system for years cannot be as effectualiy held in check as in early life when
the system was strong and vigorous. While the old or middle-aged are the usual
sufferers, the young are not exempt if the blood becomes infected with the germs.
Salves, plasters, lotions, etc., cannot cure old sores and ulcers because they do not reach
the seat of the trouble. Such treatment keeps the place clean, relieves pain and pexhapa
reduces tlie inflammation, and in this way is beneficial, but can never permanently hod
them. The only treatment that can do any permanent good is a competent bleod purifier, one
that goes to the very root of the trouble and re
moves the cause, and for this purpose nothing
has ever been found to equal S. S. S. It goes

I want to recommend your S. S. S.
to any who are in need of a remedy
for an old sore. In 1877 I had my
leg badly cut by a
barrel hoop and
having on a blue
woolen stocking
my leg was badly
poisoned from the
dye. A great
sore formed and
for years no one
knows what I suf
fered with the
place. Nothing
would heal the ul
cer and I thought
I would have togo
through life with a discharging, an
gry sore on my leg. A short while
ago I commenced to use S. S. S. and
I soon saw that the place was im
proving. I continued the use of it
until my leg was entirely healed and
I am now a well man.

terrible. At first
it discharged a

which changed to
a thicker compo
sition and the
pain was very se-
v ere. It was near
ly as largo as a
dollar and terri
bly inflamed in all
the surrounding
parts. It had been
there so long and growing worse all.
the time, I became very much dis-
eouragfd and alarmed. At last I be
gan the use of S. S. S. At first the
ulcer seemed to get worse, but soon
I noted an improvement and contin
ued its use until it was entirely cured.

PAY OF EUROPEAN STATESMEN.
Denmark j s Stingiest of A|| Coun
tries to Her Legislators.
The Norweigan member of Parli
ament. gets only thirteen shillings a
day. ami if the hard worked legislator
take^- a day off loses his pay. The
same is the ease with members of the
Swiss Diet. They are rewarded with
sixteen shillings a day, on condition
that they do not absent themselves
from work.
To go further east, we find that
Roumania thinks her lawmakers worth
Cl a day. Sixteen shillings a day is the
salary of those who compose the Bul
garian Sobranje, but members who
live in the capital get only twelve
shillings daily.
Denmark is about the stingiest of
all European countries, so far as re
munerating her lawmakers is con
cerned. Danish members of parlia
ment get but six shillings eight pence
per day; but. on the other hand, they
have the odd privilege of a free seat
in the royal theatre in Copenhagen.
While the members of the German
Reichstag are not salaried, yet the
lawmakers of the various German
States do not work for nothing.
Saxe-Coburg members of parliament
are paid thirteen shillings, of Bavaria
ten and of Hesse nine.
At first sight Hungary seems to do
her lawmaking on the cheap plan,
for her members get £200 a year in
cash. But they are not so badly off.
after all, for a liberal allowance is
made into the bargain for house
rent. AustriaHungary’s two legisla
tive assemblies cost the country about
£130,000 a year in all. Both in Aus
tria and Hungary legislators can trav
el first class with second class tick
ets.
Besides the United Kingdom, Italy
and Spain are the only countries
which pay nothing to their members
of parliament. Nevertheless, the cost
of the Italian parliament is estimated
at 285,000 a year.
In Portgual also the State does not
remunerate legislators, but they re
ceive free railway passes, and their
constituents are legally permitted to
pay those who represent them a_ sum
of about fifteen shillings for each day
of the session.

To the Trustees of Second Methodist
Church,
Gentlemen: —
Always have your church buy Un
seed oil at barrel prices. Don’t let
them pay $1.50 a gallon for canned
oil, which ought to cost but 60 cents
a gallon. Ready-mixed paint Is about
half oil and half paint Buy oU fresh
from the barrel and add It to the L. ft
M. Paint which Is seml-mlxed, and
you then get a full gallon af paint at
the lowest price.
4 gallons L. ft M. Paint mixed with
3 gallons Linseed Oil will paint a
moderate sized house.
Actual cost L. ft M. about $1.20 per
gallon.
