.a. SKffl DISEASES
There is un evaporation from the body going on continually, day and
night, through the pores and glands of the skin. This is nature’s way of
maintaining the proper temperature of our systems and preserving the soft
ness and flexibility of the skin, and so long as the blood is free from impur
ities no trouble will result. When, however, the blood from any cause
becomes infected with humors and acids, these too must be expelled, and
coming in contact with the delicate fibres and tissues with which the skin is
so abundantly supplied they produce irritation and inflammation, and tire
••fleet is shown by Kczema, Acne, Tetter, and skin affections of various kinds.
These impurities and humors get into the blood through a deranged or
inactive condition of the system ; the members whose duty it is to carry off
the waste and refuse matter of the body fail to properly perform their work,
and this impure, fermenting matter is left in the system to be absorbed by
the blood. The skin is not only affected by poisons generated within the
system, but poisons from without,
such as Poison Oak, Poison Ivy,
Nettle Rash, etc., enter through the
open poiea and glands, and so thor
oughly do they become rooted in the
blood that they are ever present,
or return at certain seasons of each
year to torment the sufferer. Salves,
washes, lotions, etc., cannot cure skin
diseases. True, such treatment re
lieves some of the itching and dis
comfort, and aids in keeping the skin
clean, but it does not reach the real
cause, and at best can be only palli
ating and soothing. A thorough
cleansing of the blood is the only certain cure for skin diseases. S. S. S.,
a gentle acting, safe blood purifier, made entirely of vegetable ingredients
of the forest and field, is the proper treatment. S. S. S. goes down ; nto the
circulation, and neutralizes the acids and humors, thoroughly cleansing and
purifying the blood, and curing skin affections of every kind. It supplies
to the blood the fresh, nutritive qualities necessary to sustain the skin and
all other parts of the body, and rids the blood or any and all poisons. S. S. S.
cures Eczema, Tetter, Acne, Salt Rheum, Poison Oak and Ivy, Nettle Rash,
and all other skin troubles, and cures them permanently by removing every
trace of the cause from the blood. Special book on Skin Diseases and any
medical advice desired furnished free to all who write.
THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, Gi;
I have used your S. S. S., spring and fall,
for the past Iwo years, with Ihe result that it
entirely relieved me of a form of Eczema
which my doctor was unable to cure. My
arms, lower limbs, and. in fact, the biggest
portion of my whole body was affected, nnd
when I first began S. S. S. the itching, etc.,
was wo-se, but I continued the remedy with
the res Jt that the dry, itching eruption en
tirely disappeared. I think a great deal of
your medicine, and have recommended it to
others with good resu'ts. It is the best blood
medicine made, and I can conscientiously
recommend it for thv cure of alt blood nnd
skin affections. CiiAS. UORSTMAN.

THE NEW COLONEL I
Hew Grant Proved Himself to Be »
Master of Men.
When Captain Grant, formerly of
the regular artnv, was appointed
colonel of nn Illinois regiment in
place of Colonel Goode, John A. Lo
gan while escorting JHim to the
camp said: “Colonel, the regiment
is a little unruly. Do you think
you can manage the boys?”
“I think I can,” replied Grant.
Logan and McClernand, two con
gressmen, mnde patriotic speeches,
and Logan, after a two hours’ ora
tion, led forws. J a quiet man ir
plain citizen’s clothes, saying:
“Allow me to present to you yout
new commander, Colonel U. S.
Grant.”
“Most if the soldiers observed
him for the first time," writes Ham
lin Garland, from whose “Life of
Grant” we have quoted. “They
were astonished and disappointed.”
Grant looked like a grave, country
doctor. But ho showed that he
could manage llie “unruly boys.”
There wore loud calls: “Grant!
Grant! A speech!” Their late
colonel used to “orate” before
them. The new colonel stepped
two paces toward them and said in a
clear, calm voice:
“Men, go to your quarters!”
If an eight inch shell had explod
ed in their ranks the “boys” would
not linve been more surprised, but
they went to their quarters. There
was that in the new colonel’s voice
which expressed command. The
tone was not loud, but it was given
with a clear cut inflection which
showed him a master of men.
That evening at dress parade as
he stepped to the center of the regi
ment, wearing no uniform save a
pair of gray trousers with a stripe
running down the outside seams and
nn old sword, the men jested in low
voices about their new commander
Colonel Goode, the late colonel,
not infrequently used the daily pa
rade as an occasion to make a
speech, nnd the men expected one
from Grant. The line officers ad
vanced, and the adjutant saluted.
“A soldier’s first duty is to learn
to obey his commander. I shall ex
pect my orders to bo obeyed as cx-
uctlv and as instantly as if we wer#
on the fluid of battle.”

“Cordelia,” ordered the teacher,
“throw that gum in the wastebas
ket !”
The pupil’s face grew scarlet, but
she did not stir.
“If you do not put that gum in
the wastebasket immediately I will
send you out of the room,” said the
teacher gravely.
The girl walked reluctantly te
the desk. “1 can't, teacher,” she
confessed. “It's inn’s gum. nn’she’li
lick me if 1 go home without it.”

No Use Trying to Be Neighborly With
Some People.
When Mrs. Calloway met Mrs
Dreson in the market one morning
and inquired for the news of the
people in her block it came to light
that 1110 Carolsons, who used to be
neighbors of the Calloways, now
held that relationship to the Dee-
son?. Naturally the character of
the Carolsons as a family and ns in
dividuals was s hortly jndur discus-1
sion. Mrs. Dec.-on, vho admitted
somewhat grudgingly that she sup- !
posed that the Carolsons were j
“pleasant enough,” then turned eon- J
fidential and recited a story, which i
the Chicago News prints:
“Mrs. Caroison is at .Shadow j
Lake now, isn’t she?” Mrs. Calloway
bad asked.
os,” sniil the other woman,
“and she never said a word to me
about it before she went. I saw .Mr.
Caroison weeding tne pansies the
other morning, and I called out,
just to he neighborly, ‘Your wife
gone away?’
“He grunl’ed something that
might have meant cither ‘yes’ or
‘no’ I went on:
“ 'You'd better go away, too, nnd
stay over Sunday with her. I’ll
look after your house.’ He gave
another grunt.
“ ‘Why not stay until the follow
ing Monday?’ I asked.
“ ‘Thank you,’ he growled. ‘I
wish my firm was as generous as
you are.’ Then lie went into the
house,
“A little while after that my
daughter met him on the street car
rying a suit case, so 1 knew he had
taken my advice.
“ ‘I suppose lie won’t he home
for ten days. He must have gone in
hurry, for lie didn’t tell me a
thing about his going,’ I said to my
daughter.
‘I had so much work to do that I
could give little time to their place.
Still, I like to he neighborly, so
early the next morning I went over
nnd picked all their pansies. Then,
seeing that Mr. Caroison hadn’t
stopped the milk or his paper, I
helped myself to both. Afterward
I telephoned to the milkman not to
leave any. more milk.
“I ran to the door every time I
heard their bell ring and explained
to the c-allor that the family had
gone away for ten days. It was a
lot of trouble, for I had to keep
watching all the time.”
“You always have such a sense of
responsibility when your neighbors
are away, Mrs. Decson,” said Mrs.
Calloway.
“Well, I try to do my duty hj
everybody. Late in the afternoon
a hoy came with a suit case. 1 call
ed to him that there was no use
ringing the Carolsons’ hell, as they
wouldn’t he at home l'or ten days.
“ ‘I had special orders to bring
these clothes today,’ said the hoy.
‘Won’t you take them in—dollar to
collect ?’
“‘I don’t meddle with Mr. Carol-
son’s clothes,’ 1 said. ‘Bring ’em
hack in ten days.’ Then I shut the
door. You have to he firm with
hoys like that. They’d argue all
day if you’d let ’em, and I had my
dinner to get.
“We had just sat down to the ta
ble when my daughter said, ‘Who’s
that picking the Carolsons’ pan
sies ?’
“ ‘Here, you!’ I called. And if it
wasn’t Mr. Caroison himself, look
ing madder than a hatter.
“‘Some one has picked them all!’
he snorted.
“ ‘I thought you were away,’ I
6aid.
“ ‘That accounts for the milk and
the papers, 1 suppose. Perhaps
you’ve the clothes that I am wait
ing for?’
“ ‘I sent them hack’— I began,
but didn’t get a chance to finish the
sentence. If I told you what he
said— I could hardly believe my
cars! Some people are hard to
please, aren’t they, Mrs. Calloway ?”
