^ Chlorosis - Green Sickness Delicate girls who are approaching the age of womanhood are usually subject to this disease. They are pale because the blood Is weak and watery. Their complexion has a sickly greenish cast which gives the disease Its name. They have no vitality and if exposed to any unusual excitement, excessive labor or cold dampness are liable to contract some disease that will disastrously effect their whole future lives. It is a most critical period. The right remedy to relieve this condition and bring back the rosy huo of health is -?? ?? dr. Simmons''! Squaw Vine Wine, It !s a palatable remedy, a fine, pleasant tasting medicine. Its agreeable flavor, however, is no criterion of its efficacy.

CUTTING DOWN INSURANCE LOSS Greenville Board of Trude Issues Spe cial insurance Edition of "Greater Greenville". The Greenville Board of Trade ha?> 1 just Issued another edition of its lit tle periodical "Greater Greenville", this time the contents being devoted to insurance, both tire and life. The life Insurance articles are devoted to giving reasons why the home compan ies should be patronized, showing that by keeping the state's Insurance pre miums at home the Interest rates on money will be decreased and more funds will be at hand to loan for in dustrial Improvements. It Is a sad j fact that the north is scraping the cream of the south's earnings through insurance premiums. The articles on fire Insurance are devoted largely to showing the enormous and useless fire waste in this country. One statement went to show that the fire loss in the United States for ten years Is equal to the value of two out of the last ten cotton crops. "In 1907 the per capita losses in the cities of the six leading Suropean countries amounted to but 33 cents, while in the United States they were $2.51," an enormous difference. The closing article of the little booklet gave six precautionary measures for avoiding fires: How to Prevent Fires. 1. A large part of the fire waste of this country is directly due to untidy conditions. Heavy losses naturally Increase cost of Insurance. A careful Inspection of your entire premises should be made daily and rubbish kept cleaned up. 2. Oily rags or waste should be kept in standard waste cans and con tents removed and burned each night. ?,. Gasoline, naptha and other vola tile oils should not be kept in building. 4. Open flue holes should be pro tected with sheet iron or better be bricked up. 5. Electricity, when Improperly in stalled, is hazardous; lamp cords should not be hung ?n nails or wrap ped around any piping; paper shades should never be used. f>. Stove pipes should be run direct to brick chimneys and never through floors or partitions; protect boors un der and about stoves with brick, ce ment of sheet metal. * Lisbon Locals. * Lisbon.
