\ I FACTS ABOUT SOAP. “Rapid i® v Crops That Convince We will convince you that you can “increasti your yields per acre” and you won’t have to keep it a secret, either. Head what Messrs. Wherry & Son, of the Magnolia Fruit Farm, Durant. Miss., write: “From two acres of straw berries on which 1,000 pounds of Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers per acre were used wo cleared a profit of fTC.OO per acre more than the other 14* acrei^f strawberries which had only 500 pounds of this fertilizer.” Thus double thoquantity of these fertilizers on each acre of any crop, and more than doubly ■ ‘ “increase your yields per acre." Be sure you buy only Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers. „ , . _ i ~ Richmond, Va. Norfolk, Va. Durham, N. C. Charleston, 8. C. Baltimore, Md. Atlanta, Ga. Savannah, Ga. Montgomery, Ala. Memphis, Tenn.

'I'his I writer, a weli !, uv.ai Ilaglisii physl- | cian. .-.iys that while in’, oslig .ting ex lienditnies at a large London hosplt il he found that a large quantity of soft soap was being used and that as this contained a considerable percentage of water the institution was paying a very high price both for water and for soap. To quote the Lancet’s article: “He suggests that the best and most economical soap for the purpose is dry soap powder, especially when used in conjunction with a water softener or with borax. Forty tons or so of soft soap, he adds, were used some little time ago at the launch of a new Cu- narder, ‘but they who manage such things would never think of paying the price hospitals pay, nor do railway companies or hotels/ ” An eminent firm of soapmakerg also writes to the same paper that old fash ioned soap made with tallow Is much superior to that now generally used. To quote again: "It would appear that in order to make an oil spap hard enough to form a bar it is necessary to introduce Into it a large proportion of cocoanut oil or palm kernel oil. These two oils hith erto have formed the basis of the so called ‘rapid washer soaps.’ Cocoanut or palm kernel oils absorb a much larger percentage of caustic alkali than does tallow, and so it is evident that the rapid detergent properties of these soaps are due principally to the excess of oheinioals which they contain. ‘It seems to us THE KING OF BLOOD PURIFIERS 3 SWIFT’S SPECIFIC, the great blood FuRinra. jr- »*»/#»• 'r*>: f ’• ifKv “ hi;-: tine iino o!

S. S. It is known as “The King of Blood Purifiers,” and the secret of its success and its right to this title is because gi /T CURES DISEASE.” It is an honest medicine, made entirely of purifying, healing roots, herbs and barks, which are acknowledged to be specifics for diseases arising from an impure or poisoned condition of the blood and possessing tonic properties that act gently and admirably in the up-building of a run down, weakened or disordered condition of the system. One of the greatest points in favor of S. S. S. is that it is the only blood remedy on the market which does not contain a mineral ingredient of some kind to derange or damage the system. It is the one medicine that can be taken with absolute safety by the youngest child or the oldest member of the family, and persons who have allowed their systems to get Li such condition that most medicines are repulsive to the stomach will find that S. S. S., while thorough, is gentle and pleasant in its action, and has none of the nauseating effect* of the different mineral mixtures and concoctions offered as blood purifiers. As every part of the body is dependent on the blood for nourishment and strength, it I* necessary that this vital fluid be kept free from germs and poisons. So long as it remain* uncontaminated we are fortified against dis ease, and health is assured; but any impurity, humor or poison acts injuriously on the sys tem and affects the general health. Pus tular eruptions, pimples, rashes and the different skin affections show that the blood is in a feverish and diseased condition as a result of too much acid or the presence of some irritating humor. Sores and Ulcers are the result of morbid, unhealthy matter in the therefore, time to send a ! blood, and Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison etc., are all deep-seated warning note to the public to induce blood disordeis that continue to grow worse as long as the poison remains. But all blood diseases are not acquired; some persons are born with an hereditary taint in the blood and we see this great afdicti 11 manifested in many ways. The skin has a waxy, pallid appearance, the eyes are ofte i weak, glands of the neck enlarged, and as the taint has been in the blood since birth the entire health is usually affected. In all blood troubles S. S. S. has proved itself a perfect remedy and has well earned the title of “KING OF BLOOD PURIFIERS.” It goes down into the circulation and removes ‘ , " ost r, ‘ filie<1 ot :l11 | all poisons, humors, waste or foreign matter, and makes this stream of life pure and health . olive oil soap—unless; it ' , . .

IV Blue Blood. In the “Zeltschrlft Fur Deutsche Wortforschung" It. F. Arnold recently called attention to a verification of the origin of the well known term “blue blood." In Goethe’s preface to the German translation of Salvandy’s French novel. “Alongo” (1823) occurs the following passage, “A man of so red and evrai so blue blood as mine,” to which the author adds the explana tory note. "In some parts of Spain, es pecially In the kingdom of Valencia, the aristocracy is divided Into different classes, according to the color of the yellow, red and blue blood.’’ In the opinion of the “Politische Anthropo- loglsche Revue.” the “blue blood” re fers to the bluish blood shining through the veins of the skin that distinguish ed the hidalgos, the Spanish nobility of German de-icent. from the red and yellow blooded native—that Is, the darker type.
