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. „ , . _

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

No other remedy has given such perfect satisfaction as a
blood purifier and tonic or is so reliable in the cure of blood dis
eases of every character as S. 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

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.
